Moving Closer to God

I didn't realize until today just how long it has been since I have updated the post about our services in kids church.
Since the beginning of the year God started really stirring something inside of me - a PASSION to take the children in a deeper relationship with HIM! At first I was overwhelmed, I felt I had already been trying to do so, but wasn't getting the results I wanted. I wanted to see these kids filled with the Holy Spirit, prophesying, standing their ground when it came to their faith... And as this began to stir inside of me I began to seek God in a deeper level than I had before. As a result we started having REAL alter calls right there in our kids services, these kids would come to the alter with a hunger for God.
Before the children would be released to come down to kids church, I would be in the room praying, the Spirit of God could be felt, God showed me rain from Heaven that fell in the classroom, rain that would heal their little hearts, rain that allowed them to grow! Each week these kids would come expecting to feel God.
This led up to our kids camp, where God was already speaking to me about being the speaker. This was an exciting and scary thing for me. Who was I to speak at a camp? But God gave me idea's that brought a freshness to the services, an excitement...and at the same time allowed the Spirit of God to move.
These kids came to the alter with an even greater hunger, a desire to be in God's presence. God showed me their hearts as He was slowly turning them back to Him. He showed me His Spirit as it made it's way through this room.
God is not looking at the age of a person, but He is looking at the Heart, looking for those who are willing to speak for Him!
Many of these children went home filled with the Holy Spirit! Ready to battle anything that came their way.
And now that summer has come to an end, we, at our church, are training these children to be the little warriors that He is calling them up to be.
They have become bold enough to open their mouths and speak to their classmates, to speak in the classroom when a teacher is trying to teach them that Evolution is how we came to be! Their prayers are going straight to the throne room of Heaven and God is answering their prayers. They are even starting to see visions from God and sharing them to encourage others in their faith and their walk with God!
I am excited to see what all God has in store for these young people, and honored to be a part of this in their lives.
God, through these chilren - Bring Revival!
