Encouraging Words

In this day and age, it is hard to really experience a real outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This year, however, the LORD has truly blessed the young people of BYC (Believer's Youth Camp, Dayton, Ohio).
The meetings were from June 23rd to the 30th and our speakers were... Brother Paul LaFontaine, Brother Craig Booher, Brother Ron Spencer and Brother Darrel Ward. What amazing services that were blessed from the very start!!! But the one that I really was blessed at was on Thursday when Brother Darrel Ward and he preached a sermon titled, "The Prisoner to Be Released". He preached a dramatization of Barabbas I will share some of the things he said that stood out...
"I was born on the earth and chosen to sail through the skies."
"I'm not trying to fit in, I'm trying to fit out."
"Young people spell love T-I-M-E."
He told us the story of Barabbas in such a way that WE became the convict and were transported through time and space to that man's place. God died to free us from sin and shame and we are free! We should have paid for all that we did against God but, instead, He sent His only Son and that Son died to make us free so we could live like Him. Oh glory!

The next time he preached..."Stop the Thief"
      We young people in this Message need to stick together. Not be fighting one another over petty things and thinking one is better than the other. We are all one!

We are One in The Spirit,
We are One in The Lord.
We are One in The Spirit,
We are One in The Lord.
And we pray that all unity may one day be restored.

               Chorus
And they'll know we are Christians by our love,
By our Love,
Yes they'll know we are Christians by our love.

If we are busy fighting with each other, gossiping or thinking badly about one another then we won't recognize the devil when he comes upon us. There is strength in numbers. Amen!

We need to stop the thief who is coming to try and take our Inheritance from God. We are heirs... (one who receives his allotted portion according to one's sonship) and we need to stand up and claim It! Shamgar got tired of the thief coming and taking away what was rightfully his according to God and he finally stood and slew six hundred Philistines. He did not have a sword...he WAS the sword. (Shamgar means "sword".) If Shamgar can slay six hundred of the enemy with God's help, how much more can we, with God's help and being His daughters, take down the enemy that comes upon us!


So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
Isaiah 59:19 (KJV)

We may be girls but we still are very powerful against Satan and his evil minions! Keep standing on the Word and don't let Satan steal your joy. Press on, my Sisters! The hour is too late to be playing around with sin!!! I love you all...
