Raising Up the Youth
-----

I believe that the Lord would say to us that you have seen the enemy come in like a flood; but I will and am raising up a standard against him.
That standard is My word;
that standard, is the only way-which is Jesus Christ-to salvation.
And I am raising up the Youth.
And even though the natural man would say,
that the Youth have no possibilities;
not now, they're too young;
that the Youth have no power;
that the Youth is insignificant and immature;
but I say to you that I am going to raise up the Youth to Raise Up My Standard against the enemy.
I am going to use the Youth as a mighty army within My hand to speak forth the Truth,
the truth of My word, to slash through the the lies of the enemy.
And they will have energy and zeal,
but they will also have knowledge;
for I will give them knowledge and wisdom.
And even though you as Youth might say,
'But Lord, why me? Why me, oh Lord?'
But I would say to you,
trust Me and allow me to work in you.
Allow me to anoint you with My power,
to anoint you with the words of My mouth.
And I will fill your mouths and you will go to the nations;
and you will speak to kings, and you will speak to leaders,
and you will speak to mighty men in nations.
And whole nations will bow before me.
Hundreds of thousands will come because the Youth, the Youth will be My instruments in My hand.
And people will say that the Lord is great...
He uses even a Youth to speak His truth
and they have wisdom beyond their years.
And I say to you, even though the enemy is coming in like a flood, I am raising up a standard against him;
And I am victorious,
and I am mighty,
and I will be the one before whom
every knee will bow and every tongue will confess
that Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords!!!

Amen.
