在過去的幾個月裡,我們國家似乎已經被震動了,我相信我們的年輕一代對此感受最深。今天的年青人正試著發現他們的身份,但這對他們來說很困難,因為他們周圍有如此多的混亂和無法的現象。他們面臨著這麼多關於他們未來的決定,而這個世界似乎是如此不可預測。

一天,我走進以前的初中學校旁邊的一商店。店裡有六個年青人在大吵大鬧,使用如此粗俗的語言。他們的年齡大約在12-14歲之間。這些事情不應該讓我感動,因為大多數青少年都很激進,會說髒話,但我吃了一驚。我心想,為什麼他們這麼小就有這麼大的敵意和挑釁?然後我感覺到他們內心的沒有盼望和絕望。我知道在這些粗話之外還隱藏著痛苦,我知道在他們的眼睛後面有創傷。

在我們今天的年青人中存在著對未知的恐懼。聖靈提醒我,當撒母耳去膏立耶西的一個兒子為王時。當撒母耳看著以利押(他高大英俊),他認為他肯定是主的受膏者。但耶和華對撒母耳說:"不要看他的外貌和他身材高大,我不揀選他。因為,耶和華不像人看人:人是看外貌;耶和華是看內心。"(撒母耳記上16:7)。一個名叫大衛的年輕牧童是在他所有兄弟中被選中的人。

主想利用這些激進的年青人給我們的國家帶來覺醒,給他們這一世代帶來轉化。年青人不想去教堂被訓斥。年青人需要的是有人喚出他們內心的寶藏,而不是污垢。他們需要與永生神真正相遇,使他們脫離罪惡的道路,並改變他們的生命。他們需要經歷聖靈的感動,帶來救贖、醫治和釋放。他們需要經歷神蹟、奇事。

這些年青人被呼召成為神的末世軍隊的一部分。在《約珥書》2:28-29和《使徒行傳》2:17-19中預言,在最後的日子裡,主會將祂的靈澆灌在所有的人身上;我們的兒女都會說起預言。我們要告訴他們,主要使用他們。這是耶穌對我們的末世計畫--無論我們是嬰兒潮一代、X一代、Y一代、千禧一代,還是Z一代--就像商店裡的年青人。

童子撒母耳大祭司以利的遮蓋下,在夜裡耶和華三次呼喚他;但撒母耳沒有認出上帝的聲音,直到以利告訴撒母耳到那是耶和華在呼喚他。直到主第四次呼喚他,撒母耳回答說;"請說,僕人敬聽!"。然後他第一次聽到了上帝的聲音。撒母耳長大了,成為一個偉大的先知,他所講的每一句話都應驗了。

主在這個時代正在尋找撒母耳,這些年輕的一代被呼召成為列國的先知。當神的恩膏臨到他們身上時,他們會說話,沒有一個字會落空。不要輕看他們年輕,因為耶穌渴望以大能的方式使用他們。祂想把年青人從毒品和其他綑綁中釋放出來,以便他們可以回去讓他們的朋友得自由。

他們不會被敵人的詭計所操縱,也不會被他狡猾的方法所誘惑,而是會成為神國的勇士。他們不會再被這個世界的東西所誘惑,而是要終生服侍主。他們被呼召去醫治病人,潔淨麻風病人,使死人復活,驅趕魔鬼。

玩弄教會的時代已經過去。我們需要一場青年復興。我們需要從天而降的以利亞人。我們需要那些在通往大馬士革的路上被改變的保羅。現在是年青人站起來奪回我們土地的時候了。

撒母耳記上16:7:" 耶和華卻對撒母耳說:不要看他的外貌和他身材高大,我不揀選他。因為,耶和華不像人看人:人是看外貌;耶和華是看內心。"

耶利米書1:5:"我未將你造在腹中,我已曉得你;你未出母胎,我已分別你為聖;我已派你作列國的先知。"

馬太福音18:1-3:" 當時,門徒進前來,問耶穌說:天國裡誰是最大的?耶穌便叫一個小孩子來,使他站在他們當中,說:我實在告訴你們,你們若不回轉,變成小孩子的樣式,斷不得進天國。"
 

THE RISE OF THE NEXT GENERATION
ELAINE TAVOLACCI

In these past few months, it seems as if our country has been shaken to its core, and I believe that our younger generation is feeling it the most. The youth of today are trying to discover their identity, but it's difficult for them because they are surrounded with so much chaos and lawlessness. They are faced with so many decisions about their future in a world that seems to be so unpredictable.

The other day, I went into a store by my old Junior High school. There were six young people in the store causing a ruckus and using such vulgar language. Their ages ranged from about 12-14 years old. These things shouldn't move me because most teenagers are radical and use profanity, but I was taken aback for a minute. I thought to myself, Why are they so hostile and defiant at such a young age? Then I sensed something else. I felt the hopelessness and despair inside their hearts. I knew that there was pain hidden beyond those foul words, and I knew there was trauma behind their eyes.

There is fear of the unknown in our young people today. The Holy Spirit reminded me of when Samuel went to anoint one of Jesse's sons to be king. When Samuel looked at Eliab (who was tall and handsome and appeared to have it all together), he thought that he surely was the Lord's anointed. But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7). A young shepherd boy named David was the one who was chosen out of all his brothers.

The Lord wants to use these radical young people to bring an awakening to our nation, and transformation to their generation. Young people don't want to go to church to be reprimanded. What they need is someone to call out the treasure inside of them, rather than the dirt. They need a true encounter with the living God that will turn them from their sinful ways, and transform their lives. They need to experience a move of the Holy Spirit to bring salvation, healing and deliverance. They need to experience signs, wonders and miracles.

These young people are called to be part of God's end-time army. It was prophesied in the book of Joel 2:28-29, and the book of Acts 2:17-19, that in the last days, the Lord will pour out of His Spirit on all flesh; and our sons and our daughters will prophesy. We have to tell them that the Lord wants to use them. This is Jesus' end-time plan for us--whether we are Baby boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, Millennials, or Generation Z--like the young adults in the store.

Samuel was first called as a young boy while under the covering of the high priest Eli. It was during the night that the Lord called him three times; but Samuel didn't recognize God's voice until Eli perceived that it was the Lord calling him. Samuel then went back, and the Lord called out to him a fourth time. Samuel replied; "Speak, for Your servant hears." He then heard God's voice for the first time. Samuel grew up to be a great prophet, and every word he gave came to pass.

The Lord is looking for the Samuels in this day, the younger generation who are called to be prophets to the nations. When His anointing is upon them, they will speak and not one word will fall to the ground. Don't despise their youth, for Jesus desires to use them in a mighty way. He wants to deliver the young people from drugs and other bondages so that they can go back and set their friends free.

They won't be manipulated by the trickery of the enemy, or beguiled by his cunning ways, but they will be warriors in the Kingdom of God. They will no longer be enticed by the things of this world, but they will serve the Lord all the days of their lives. They are called to heal the sick, cleanse the leapers, raise the dead and cast out demons.

The time of playing church is over. We need a youth revival. We need the Elijahs who call down fire from Heaven. We need the Pauls who are transformed on the road to Damascus. It time for the young people to rise up and take back our land!

1 Samuel 16:7: "But the LORD said to Samuel, 'Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.'"

Jeremiah 1:5: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations."

Matthew 18:1-3: "At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, 'Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?' And calling to Him a child, He put him in the midst of them and said, 'Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.'"
