America's Youth Don't Need Revival, They Need Obedience By Minister Speed

Youth Revival 

Key Scripture

1 John 1:5-7, 5 this then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:  7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

The word fellowship comes from the word Fellow, meaning related by blood, marriage, or union.  And Ship meaning we are all going in the same direction or the same destination.

Youth – is defined as the time period between adolescent and adulthood. That means you are not a child but you’re not an adult either.

Revival – In my new book A Declaration to the Spiritual Soldier I stated that “The word revive in one sense means to restore to consciousness or life, to bring back from a depressed, inactive or unused state, but for Christianity this word has become an old worn out and archaic idea. 

The Christian definition for revival is a term that generally refers to a specific period of increased spiritual interest, or a renewal in the life of an individual, church congregation, or many churches, either regionally or globally, bringing AGAIN into activity and prominence the worship and spiritual influence of God.”

If you look at the word revival as I just outlined it then you will see a complete degradation of the very instrument which gives the church its influence and power. This instrument is the power of the Holy Spirit.

Without the Holy Spirit you have Spiritual sleep, spiritual death.  This proves conclusively that if there is a need for revival, then there must be a cataclysmic failure of the church to move, operate, and be led under the auspices of the Holy Spirit.  There is a breakdown of capacity and ability to walk and fellowship with Jesus Christ.

That is why you hear cry for REVIVAL……

The YOUTH today are under severe attack.  They are being overwhelmed without resistance, restraint, strategy, or vision

I am going to speak on and call out by NAME 7 Major spiritual attacks that the youth of today are facing.  Keep in mind if there is an attack it is because there are demons present.  

Keep in mind I am not talking about the youth of the world, I am talking about the youth in the Church house today.  The world is getting exactly what it CHOOSES by rejecting God.

Rebellion–To DIS-Honor the parents, Filthy communication w Parent, Teachers and each other.  God’s word said Honor thy Mother and Father that thy days may be long upon the earth.  This is why children are dying before their parents like never before.  You must learn HONOR and INTEGRTY.

Suicide – This is the spirit of DEPRESSION AND DEMISE. Suicide is a permanent to a temporary problem and is a direct result of not having faith in and walking in fellowship with Christ.  Suicide is the leading cause of death amongst Youth in America today.

Fornication – This is not just having sex outside of marriage but the forsaking of God and following after or depending on other gods and idols.  You open a door within yourself to demonic activity which can move through 3 to 4 generations after you.  The CDC states that 53% of all high school students have had sex. I’m calling it out tonight.  Let’s take the kids gloves off and say that this is against God and you will reap the consequences.

Abortions - The callous murder of one’s own unborn child.  This is satanic child sacrifice.  There have been 60 million abortions since Roe vs. Wade in 1971.  60% of these abortions are from black females age 16 to 25.  A lot of them from Christian homes.

Drug/Alcohol Abuse – Drugs and alcohol are mind and mood altering substances. Biblically in the Greek, the word for drug use is Pharmakia which when translated into English mean sorcery or witchcraft.  This includes marijuana and cigarettes. All drugs are a Spirit.  A Stronghold.  That’s why it’s hard to break any addiction.

STD’s – According to the CDC, About 9 million youth ages 13 to 19 contracts an STD each year. 10K youth contract HIV on a yearly basis. Of those 53% high school youth having sex, 77% of them do so without birth control.  We have an epidemic on hour hands parents.  Today is your Wake-Up call!!!

The Spirit of entitlement – Youth today believes they are owed something or are privileged to it JUST BECAUSE.  They are selfish, self-centered, dishonest, and full of fear.   The main reason behind this is the Country, the State, the City, and the Households are all out of order.   Children now run their household.  Listen what you want is not a RIGHT but a PRIVILEGE.

I know that I’m going to step on some toes here with what I’m about to say, BUT These pestilence, diseases, mental illnesses, addictions, delusions, and deaths have always been allowed by God for sinful acts in the bible.  

They are judgments.  

They are not just happening by accidents.  The Bible plainly teaches that our choices bear consequences. Whatever a man sows, that’s what he reaps (Galatians 6:7-8). 

Righteousness brings blessing and sin brings judgment and consequences:

It’s time to UNDERSTAND who you are and where you are in this life.  Many times it’s the adults giving teenagers permission to walk in darkness because in error most adults believe the youth cannot live the lifestyle God call them to live.

Let’s go to Bible Doctrine and see what God has to say.

Mary was about 14 years old engaged to Joseph when God birth in her Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.  She was willing to face the embarrassment she knew she would face to make a stand for God.

David was a 15 year old boy who had slain a bear, a lion and then Goliath by faith in God.  David was a youth acting like a man. Today that lion, that bear and that Goliath represent the enemies in your life. Our enemies today are spiritual. You’re going to have to make strong stand 4 God and you’re going to have to make a real choice 4 God. To not choose God is to make a choice to stand for the enemy.

The 3 Hebrew boys were about 16 or 17 when they made a stand for God and decided they would rather die than reject Him.  You see whenever you make a stand for God in this world you will have to go through your fiery furnace. But you won’t have to walk alone because just like Jesus walk with them He will walk with you.  

Jesus said I will never leave you nor forsake you.  The word of God is not locked into the Ancient of days nor is it conditioned by man.  His word is both timely and timeless.

All of these were youths were at the age of accountability. Accountability is the age when you are responsible for answering the call of God.  It when you are accountable for what you do or what you don’t do.  This is why there has been an unholy attack in America on kids in the last 20 years. There are killings in school, kids murdering their parents, babies having babies, and homosexuality is a rampant reality amongst the youth today.

 It’s time to make a stand.  Just because your mother & father ARE Christians does not mean you are automatically a Christian.  God is calling you.  His word does not change.  Pick up the Holy Scriptures, read then apply them to your life.  Repent & stop practicing sin.  Just because your mother and father are not saved does not mean that has to be your fate.   Listen up, Ignorance of Gods law is no excuse.

I have children that I am responsible for.  I held my younger child’s hand when we cross the street because she didn't know any better, but I don’t hold my youths hand because they are supposed to know better and it would seem strange if they needed me to hold their hands just to get across the street.

It is the same way in fellow shipping with God in His spiritual kingdom.  Youth, you are responsible up in this church.  I want the youth here to listen up.  As believers, you are expected to grow like a child does. When you are young in your faith, God only expects for you to get the "milk".  There’s always more room to make mistakes because you're growing, learning, just like a child does.

If you can say that you've been a believer for x-amount of years and you're still making the same mistakes, you haven't grown as you should spiritually. 

Just imagine if my 13-year-old Son Kadesh was still wearing diapers and eating jars of Gerber baby food: wouldn't that seem strange? How much more, then, should we grow year to year, glory to glory in our walk with Christ?

Acts 2:17 - And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

1. Last Days begin when Jesus died on the cross over 2,000 yrs. ago.  We are in the Laster Last Days

2. God’s Spirit is available to anyone who receives and fellowship with Him.

3. Don’t get it twisted.  Fellowship in God’s Kingdom does not come in words or just deeds but in Power. You can come to the church house every day and not be in fellowship with God.  Just look at most of the youth in regular church service.  Texting, talking, stoned faced, no praise no worship.  NOTHING!!!!!

4. For too long the church has lived in old archaic traditions, treating youth as if they are not able. They are more than able.  They must… make a stand & A choice…NOW!!!

5. For too long the church house has been longing for revival, for a makeover.  God has instructed us to walk in the New Man on a daily basis.  God has commanded us to be new, to actually have nothing to do with the old man. 

2 Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 

That’s now, you’re new right now. New is a condition that exists now that has never existed before.  Stop crying out for revival and walk in Victory and Power.  Revival is not a New Testament word given to us.  Christ paid and finished it all!!!

His spirit is available to anyone. Today we are here for the purpose of you answering that calling. You see it’s already done.  It’s finish.  Jesus did it all.  It’s time to run the race now.  It’s time to take a stand and draw a line in the sand of your life and make a choice.

In closing, in the book of Joshua 24 verse 15 God spoke through Joshua and said, “Choose today whom you will serve”. 

Joshua was stating here that if serving God is troublesome, a burden, embarrassing, and not a pleasure and delight: if you have found a better master, and whose service will be more pleasant and profitable to you then make a choice.  But choose.

When it comes to me and my family, we shall serve the Lord.  Listen, God is saying here if this is something you choose not to do then I break fellowship with you and I give you your leave.

God is not obligated to bless you if you are not in order or fellowship with Him.  You cannot have fellowship with God and walk in darkness.  This is a lie and Satan not God is the Father of the lie. 

No man can serve 2 masters.  

To the Youth that are here tonight I charge you to choose Jesus Christ, walk in and acknowledge Him in all your ways. 

Amen

Extreme Weather Conditions are The beginning of sorrows for America & The World By Minister Speed

 First and foremost I wish to pray for the families of those affected by the storms which has killed many people in America over the last few years.  The sad part is that many of the victims have been innocent children, and it appears that there will be multiple more killed in this latest deadly storm .  

It comes to mind that in the last 15 years that our children have come under severe spiritual battle.  I’d like to expound further on this subject.

I have been declaring that a divine judgment has been rendered upon America and it is obvious that our children have been affected by death and mayhem like never before.  It also appears that the weapon of God's choice would be the forces of nature and the spiritual infiltration of the mind of mankind so that they would do diabolical acts against other human being.

“The fall of America is now going on! She is falling! The cause of her fall is universally known, as it was with ancient Babylon,” The use of the weather affects both the adversary of God and the people of God.  

It is time for America to bring God into the equation and repent from all this wickedness engulfing this once great country.  

“Righteousness, justice and freedom are despised and fought against regardless of the clear knowledge of who God is.

According to the weather service, the largest previous number of tornadoes on record in one event occurred from April 3-4, 1974, with 148 tornadoes. The National Weather Service also pointed out that there had been more than 600 tornadoes in the month of April 2011.

 The storms and catastrophes that are battering America are part of a series of big weather events across the country. Updated statistics from the U.S. Drought Monitor show that nearly 56 percent of the contiguous U.S. is currently in drought. This value is the highest that’s ever been recorded for the month of May.  Last year winter prove to be the most severe on American record with many deaths which followed.

Then in 2013 there were drought conditions afflicting Texas and causing fires to engulf the state. “We're pretty vulnerable right now,” said state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon to the Christian Science Monitor. 

Up to 650 blazes have scorched 400 square miles of rolling plains in west Texas, the Monitor said. The year of 2013 rivaled the 2000 and 2006 Texas wildfire seasons, which killed 11 people and destroyed 400 homes. In 2000 the Southwest, including Texas, 6.5 million acres burned, which was more than double the 10-year wildfire average at the time.  

For those with Bible Doctrine behind them this is truly punishment and the destruction of America by His divine plagues of storms,”  In 2010, more people were killed worldwide by natural disasters than were killed in terrorist attacks in the past 40 years combined.

2014 Updates

As we speak in January 2014, several unexpected and abnormal winter storms rage across America's Southern states. 

Residents across the Deep South are hunkering down as a rare winter storm is moving in from the central U.S., bringing along freezing rain, snow and forcing the cancellation of thousands of flights.

Officials from parts of Texas to southeastern Virginia are warning motorists to stay off the roads and remain inside. Freezing rain and snow is already falling in some parts of the region.

Popular warm-weather tourist destinations including Charleston, S.C.; Savannah, Ga.; Pensacola, Fla.; Virginia Beach; and New Orleans were expecting ice and snow over the next two days-- rare occurrences in places that seldom even see prolonged sub-freezing temperatures. As many as "50 million" people across the region could be affected. 

Perhaps the most abnormal winter storm has come in the state of Hawaii.  The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Big Island summits above 11,000 feet. Forecasters say the threat of heavy snow on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa will remain until noon on Wednesday, when the Winter Storm Warning is set to expire. Expect an accumulation of up to six inches of snow, easterly winds around 10 to 15 mph, and temperatures in the lower 30s.

With all the catastrophic storms and natural disasters “It's interesting that God is conspicuously absent from the explanations within in the news reports,”

Fundamental Changes Needed to Save America

First Read your bibles and you tell me how the Creator has judged men in the past.

Floods?  Of course. 

Famine?  Yes.

Drought? You know it.

Plagues?  Yes.

Every single time these 4 environmental climate systems have been used to warn, wake up, judge, and punish the nations and bring them back to Himself.

This world will never admit that God's Judgment is upon the world and specifically on America. Every form of vile wickedness walks freely among us and yet there are "mega churches" on every corner of every street in America.

Today's Babylonian churchianity is being judged. Our country is a cesspool of every vile thing ever invented under the sun. We are the world’s premier exporter of war, porn, death, leisure, vice, hubris, abortion and injustice and idol worship.

Name a deadly sin and find someplace in the world that does it "better" than America. Listen One nation under God? One nation under "god" doesn't mean one nation under Jesus.  You see, Satan calls himself god, and the bible clearly states: 2 COR 4:4 in whose case THE GOD OF THIS WORLD who is Satan,  has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

In Revelation Chapter 9 we see God unleashes the forces of nature against mankind for their wickedness but if we look at verse 20 we can see the same mindset that is prevalent in America today.

20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; 21 and they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries (Drug Use) nor of their immorality nor of their thefts.

Are you kidding me? These people have just been HAMMERED, ABSOLUTELY ROCKED by the Lord's judgments, AND THEY STILL REFUSE TO REPENT.  After all that hammering, and people still refuse to repent, does Jesus's teaching in Matt 7:13-14 make any more sense to you now?

13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14 “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

There would have to be some fundamental changes on a national level to change God’s mind about judgment. But there is no political courage in our leaders to do the things that would save this nation from destruction, therefore this nation is doomed.

The things that would have to be done to turn this nation around so God would spare us from great destructive judgments will  NEVER be done because the leaders have no vision or courage to do what is right.  

Even if the leaders wanted to do right, the people in general have no intention of repenting.  Individual repentance on your part, though very important to you, will not save this nation.  As a nation we are already past the point of no return.

 Because there is no national repentance, we are simply waiting for the judgments to come. 

It would be stupid to think a nation that despises God will have peace and prosperity.

It’s easy to blame God, ask why God would allow this, this, and this to happen, Why God allows some to perish and others to live. But if one does not belong to God, but to the evil one, the father of darkness, then one cannot truly understand the will of the Almighty for they are still in the world.

Those of us however, who were taken out of the world when we confessed our sins and gave our life to Jesus, understand both the smaller picture as well as the larger picture overall.

First off, the world is cursed, man is a fallen creation and therefore wickedness, murder, dishonesty, lust, wickedness, and an anti-Christ culture has been formed on this earth.  That is the small picture we've been dealing with since the beginning. 

The larger overall picture is that as Christians we know full well we’re living in the last days before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ on the clouds. 

I call these days “End Time Bible Days” and as Christians we should rejoice and look forward to great opportunities and blessings. 

Indeed it’s true, that while the world will slowly fall into deeper sin, wickedness, deception, famine, disease, devastation, and chaos we as Christians should began to prepare our hearts, check our power source and begin to come out of this world and truly seek the kingdom of God.

We are in the same situation as Baruch in the Book of Jeremiah.  Jeremiah had nothing but bad things to prophesy to the people and no one was repenting.  He didn't have any "peace and prosperity" or "break-through" messages and it was getting pretty depressing.  

The nation of Israel was doomed and nothing was going to change the judgment. Then God speaks directly to Baruch in the following scripture:

Jeremiah 45:2-5 2.Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch; 3.Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest. 

4.Thus shalt thou say unto him (unto Baruch), The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down (speaking of the nation), and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land. 

5.And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.

God told Baruch, "seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not."  Do you have high hopes of education, career, business, family, etc.

Remember, you may never get some of those things, because God is going to "bring evil upon all flesh...break down that which I have built and pluck up, even this whole land"

Jeremiah 9:12-14 12.Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through? 

13.And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein; 14.But have walked after the imagination of their own heart.

I think this describes America very well.  They forsake the law of God and walk after the imagination of their own heart or perhaps their man made religion.  

But "God is not mocked," everyone will reap what they have sown--individuals and whole nations.

Listen my brothers and sisters Open your eyes and look at the increasing rain, hail, snow. There are several hundred earthquakes that have already come to America. 

When God sends a Warning, the bible says He seizes the people with distress and affliction that they might humble themselves, pray, seek Gods’ face and turn from their wicked ways.

This time around Gods' will is simply a message to the United States: As your culture and your lifestyles continue to erode, so too will my judgments upon you come quickly. 

My grandmother used to say ”God don’t like ugly.” She was right, God doesn't take pleasure in allowing these things to happen, he doesn't take pleasure in millions of lives destroyed. 

He wants us to live righteous and turn to him, not turn away from him. Unfortunately it takes such events to make people sit down and think about how they life their lives.

Our lives are our own, we have free will. But do you ever think that perhaps we've gone too far? That perhaps our culture, our forms of entertainment, the way we treat life in terms of capital punishment, abortion, and murder are all a part of why America has been in this condition for so long? 

How long has America been in political, economic, and even environmental straits? It’s easy to blame the president, but how difficult has it been to blame ourselves?

I believe America is experiencing God’s judgment right now? With all the economic turmoil, division, political corruption, and the bad weather we've been having in the last few year;  it must become evident that this is the hand of God judging the United States of America?
