"radical worship"/ the lords generation

Its arising all around. We see these kids and teenagers get saved and freed and radically transformed. The Lord is doing something amazing in their lives and their worship is unlike anything the church has seen. These kids are being set free from crack, depression, prostitution, alcoholism, anything you can think of these kids have been there done that. They experience God and they go after Him with everything they have. We are seeing it more and more. They are gathering in the masses the sound coming out of them is something new. They aren't singing of what they are going to get from God or what they are going to do when they get to heaven but they are singing about war, they are dancing whole heatedly, when they don't know what else to say they say "HOLY HOLY HOLY" "WORTHY WORTHY" They live to praise the King of all.

The church calls this "radical worship" they call it "crazy kids" they call it a "phase" they say its not of God we shouldn't have someone who was a crack addict yesterday in our church jumping around. But in the bible it says that "those are forgiven much love much and those who are forgiven little love little" 1. Luke 7:47. I don't think its a matter of how much one has sinned or came out of but how much they realize it. They know that if He hadn't rescued them that they would be dead or dying. It also is not limited to the arising generation, there are people from every generation alive who are experiencing the Spirit of God in this way.

I think that when this worship/intercession/danci ng is labeled as "radical worship it is totally wrong. I believe that what is arising is not some new fad or some type of cultural thing that is occurring but that it is the Spirit of God being poured out as in Joel 2. That we are embarking on war. This "type" of worship is nothing new. In the old testament we see it always coming before the presence of the Lord. When David and his "crew" were taking the ark of the covenant they went before it dancing and worshiping so hard that David lost his clothing and his wife told him that he made a fool out of himself. During a time of war, the worshipers were always put on the front lines.

Its in our bones. Its something etched so deep within us that when given the opportunity to let it out it just flows. We are that front line going into battle.

This video kinda sums it up what I'm trying to say. We are the Lords generation. The people who name generations decided to call us Generation Next. They don't know what is going to happen with this generation. Its time for this generation to awaken. They have killed 1/3 of us. They look at us and they see all the junk, all the addictions, the rebellion and they don't know what to do with us, they see us as hopeless as dry bones. But its time for those who are dead and dying spiritually to arise, to awaken. Although the church may see us as dead, beyond hope we can see an ARMY ARISING! May we be awakened! OH and if you see me jumping its because the Lord set me free!!!!
