The Warcry of a Generation

Growing up in a Christian household, I knew all of the classic bible stories, I did a good job with memory work and sword drills, and I had a basic knowledge of the interpretation of certain verses. I remember that I had Matthew 17:20 shared with me, at a young age.

“So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.”” - Matthew 17:20

It goes on to say that “this kind [of demon] can only come out with prayer and fasting.” I had never read or heard the second part of the verse, until years later.

I took verse twenty extremely literally. Each day I would look out one of the windows on the back of the house, and ask God to move the hill in the park from where it was (left side of my vision from my house), to the middle of the farmers field (directly behind my house). Needless to say I never saw it happen. Now I wasn’t praying and fasting at age 10, but I believed it could happen! I knew it would happen, it had to!

I also shared this same fascination with the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 18. I would pray each day to see fire from heaven. I mean, “How sweet would that be?”. My intentions were good, and I still pray to see it happen today.

What does this have to do with “The Warcry of a Generation?” 

A Theory:

Let’s look at current events of the past few years.

Earthquakes occurred in Thailand, Philippines, New Zealand, Japan, Haiti. Some of which resulted in Tsunamis. Australia saw one of the worst flooding situations in the world in recent years. I believe that you may be starting to see where I am headed with this…

Natural disasters happen, I get it! 

But what if…

What if a generation is rising up? A generation not satisfied with business attire, bulging bank accounts and bird-feather beds. A generation whose faith in the spiritual is MOVING the physical! Instead of moving mountains, they are shifting plates beneath the earth’s surface. They are starting to act on their faith. They are starting a revolution! It started as a spark and is being fanned into flame.

What if this generation’s faith is only whispering? What if  they are still learning their warcry. They know what they want to scream, but so many of their voices have been suppressed. Voices taken by years of being called stupid and past relationship abuses. Years of listening to the enemies lies!

What will our world look like when they find their voice?

What if we didn’t look at natural disasters as “disasters”, but instead “Faith Moving the Natural, while Residing in the Spiritual.” A generation’s faith able to move nations! Faith, splitting bank accounts of CEO’s, crushing the temples of distant gods, breaking bonds of religion, destroying shrines of the fearful!

When faith is not bound up in fear, anxiety, lies, religion, self... Faith moves!

 Where is your voice amongst your generation?
