NE Metro Youth

What an awesome God we serve! We had a group of young warriors for the Lord leave Atlanta and journey to Hamilton Alabama for the WINTER RAMP 2007 and come back radically transformed and empowered to advance the Kingdom of God in their schools, families, and every place they go!

Last year after the WINTER RAMP a spirit of "repentance" fell on our church as the next generation got real before the Lord and it looks like this year is no exception, from "The Call Nashville" on 7-7-07 to this New Year of 2008 an acceleration of His presence and power is upon us as the structures of Baal are coming down in "this generation"!

Here are some pictures from the "WINTER RAMP 2007"

(*The name “Gutterdogs” came from a prophetic message from Damon Thompson at The Ramp in the Summer of 2006. When David and his mighty men took the fortified city of Zion by going through the underground gutters/watershaft in 2 Sam. 5:6-9)

Pure Life Revolution – Get Real, Get Pure, GET LIFE!

Pure Life Revolution is a prayer and repentance movement combined with holy activism and gut level honesty. PLR was founded in 2004 through intense prayer and fasting. It was in these times that God downloaded the vision and strategy of a global purity movement and His desire for a pure Bride. It is now our honor and privilege to carry out this mandate and to fight for our King and to deliver to Him His prize, His fair maiden, His Bride.

From the gutters to the pulpits, the “spirit of prostitution” has breached our land. She has mocked the Armies of the Lord and has been strangling the church with her seductive grasp. The church has been powerless against pornography, because statistics show there is as much pornography in the church as there is in the world – and at times even more.

“Purify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do great wonders among you.”

Joshua 3:5 NLT

Start with a 21-day detox from the media madness and reboot your system with God through prayer, fasting and holy activism. Check out www.pureliferevolution.net for more information on how you can get involved.

High School B4L Prayer Campaign

Bound4LIFE will be launching new efforts in the high schools (and middle schools) of America. We are sounding the alarm for high school students to become involved in praying for the ending of abortion. We are issuing a simple challenge of 1) fasting lunch every Friday and 2) praying with friends for the ending of abortion and 3) praying the LIFE band prayer ("Jesus I plead Your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God end abortion and send revival to America.") Please help us mobilize the students at your school or the school of your friends.

Want to learn more? Check out their website at www.bound4life.com.

From David and Jenny…

GOD IS JUST SO GOOD, isn’t He!?!?! We are so blessed and excited to see all God is doing in your lives (and ours!)…We love you, we are for you, and are praying for you! You are all SUCH an incredible blessing to us! We encourage you to get in the Word daily, focus on staying in constant communication with God. Get in His presence and get refreshed. KEEP PUSHING!!

We are so excited to see the worshippers and musicians arising in from within our youth group! Please see us if you are interested in learning an instrument (including your own voice/trumpet!). We would love to work with you!

…we will tell to the generation to come the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, and His might, and the wonderful works that He has performed…that the generation to come might know them, that the children still to be born might arise and recount them to their children. That they might set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but might keep His commandments.

Psalm 78:4b & 6-7

ONE OF OUR YOUTH HAD THIS DREAM

On 2-3-2007 I woke up at 5:58am……..

Isaiah 55:8

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways; Declares the Lord.”

My Dream

There was a big building. A big theater almost, full with hundreds of thousands of chairs. Only half the chairs were occupied. There were two pictures on the stage. The first picture on the right was of a HUGE rock cliff. It was standing proudly, and in the picture it was all sunny and there were a couple clouds in the sky. There was also a little quiet sea at the bottom.

But the second picture was contrastingly different. A dark, eerie sky loomed over a GIANT, Monstrous cliff. The sea below was crashing wildly, big waves beat up against the cliff. Both pictures looked very real, and then it started to rain. Not in the picture, but on the stage.

On the side with the picture of the sunny day, it was not raining, but on the side with the dark sky, it was. Tropical fish, started to peck at the cliff. The rain beat harder, and started to make chunks of the cliff fall off. As the fish floated around in the air, they pecked at the cliff, making chunks crumble off. Very soon, the cliff was half its size, and we all knew it would soon crumble away to nothing.

All this time that it is raining, people in white robes with a white hood to keep off the rain were dancing and praising God; in the rain! Men, women, and children were in these robes. Many of these children were from my school!

At the end of this “service,” someone I took to be the pastor stood up at the podium and said, “ Come up and share what you saw”. About 20 people lined up, and one girl from my grade (one of the ones in the robes) said something about the rocks being our enemies. She said something very similar to what me and everyone else said.( I don’t remember exactly what she said, because I didn’t realize that this was a vision until midway through the people sharing!) About half of the people sharing were the people in the white robes! Many of them went to my school!

Then a boy from my grade came up, and he, I don’t think, is a Christian. But what he said was powerful. He pointed to the first rock and said “They’re Ambasadors. ”Everyone gasped. What he said was totally different from what everyone else had said! I had a feeling it meant something, because I remember that part so clearly.

Then it was my turn. I walked up to the podium, and said “The first rock has two meanings. The first meaning is that we are the cliff. A wall up against our enemies. A wall standing against abortion and all the plans of the Evil One. The second one was that the cliff was our enemies, standing tall one moment, and crumbling away the next.( I didn’t realize it then, but I think this second meaning of the first picture = the world systems today!)

The second pictures meaning is that the cliff=our enemies. The rain = the reign of God knocking the enemies over! We are the fish, also knocking our foes to the ground! And the people in the white robes, I think they represent angels.” Then I sat down.

I looked up ambassador in my bibles concordance, and it read: Ambassador- representative or spokesperson 2 Chro 5:20, and Ephesians 6:19-20. Both verses talk about how we are ambassadors for Christ, and we should stand up and proclaim the word of God.

The rock crumbling is the World system failing, and the rock on the right is a wall against the Evil One. He also said that the RAIN= the REIGN of God! The fish =us= Icthus the symbol of the early Christians. Just like the Daniel sermon about Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the big statue crumbling, I think the cliff = statue = World systems. They will be torn down with Gods help. We need to continue our stand against Abortion, because that stand will be one of the “fish” that knocks it over and out of our country.
