Spiritual Revival Strikes Teens

God moved in the hearts of members of Consumed Student Ministries this weekend in powerful ways. The stories are too numerous to tell, but I will try to find time to enumerate them in the coming weeks. Tongues and Prophecy are going forth. This type of manifestation of the gifts is relatively new to many of our kids, and they didn't know how to deal with what was happening in them.

Since Winterfest our church office has been abuzz with the work that God is doing. Monday morning the Baptist school up the road called me. They said that two of my girls were speaking in tongues at school and they didn't know what to do. Also one girl in the local public school was speaking in tongues and the school sent her to the hospital.

My initial reaction was to rebuke the kids, until I later found out that several of the staff at the school were asking questions. One of the school administrators is religious and felt something in her spirit. She told the mother that she knew that God was moving on the student. The guidance counselor wants me to come to the school Thursday morning and talk to her (and possibly the other staff). I am trying to arrange for Reggie Dabbs to come to town.

I have talked to the kids involved about balance, and that God is a God of order. We will be studying 1 Corinthians 14 on the regulation of Spiritual Gifts. We want our faith not to focus on our experience, but to point to Christ.

Rejoice with me in what God is doing, but also pray for me and my team that we teach proper balance in spiritual things.
