I've made it, but how many wont.

This month I turned 18. Wooow I made it to 18. This just shows you that God's grace is truely amazing. If it wasn't for his grace, I would either be in jail or dead. There are so many people out there who are doing the same exact things I was doing, and they either end up in jail or dead. On my birthday Father had me at a place of gratitude that I've never experienced before. Just being grateful that he has graced me to see the age of 18. Then he asked me, " how many young people will never make to see the age of 18?" I couldn't do anything but cry. It hit me so hard. The body of Christ is always saying we need change, we need a revival, this generation is dying. All this is true, but what are we doing to help change it. We judge this generation because of the things that they do, but how are they going to change if that's all they know. When we were in the world, we didn't know that there was someone out there who will love us for real and that we didn't have to please anyone but him, so we continued to live of the world. This generation isn't going to change unless we get out there and show them that there is something real in this world more satisfying than the things that the enemy has to offer. The enemy isn't going to stop just because we're not doing what we're suppose to be doing. He's doing his job, so why aren't we doing ours. Religion has corrupted this generation, and it is time to restore the name of christianity. Not as just a name, but as a lifestyle. We can no longer be name tag christians. Either you are hot or cold, there is no in between. Some one once said, "either you're on the left or the right because the devil owns the fence in the middle." This means that if you're in the middle then you choose to agree with the devil because Father doesn't want a christian who is going to be warm, and neither is this generation. This generation wants authenticy, and someone who is going to be real with them. They want someone who will show them that it is possible to live a life according to the word. They are tired of people saying things and not doing it. It's time to stop allowing your mouth to run while your legs are standing still. Yeah I made it, but how many will die and go to hell because the body of Christ wants to be selfish? It's time to let your actions speak louder than your words.
