HIGH SCHOOL CAMP

The time finally comes!
Yes, it's time for HIGH SCHOOL CAMP
Your child is excited, anxious, delighted, apprehensive
and yet, in just a few hours, it all begins . . .

But what is this "thing" HIGH SCHOOL CAMP
and does it really accomplish God's purposes or present a false message?
I've been to many camps and retreats and there is surely a mixture,
actually a great mixture even from camp to camp
day to day
counselor to counselor

If God planned a HIGH SCHOOL CAMP
What would it be like?
I've come the closest to seeing His Heartbeat in the last camp I visited
Even with this progression; however, there are gaps that must
be filled in to bring forth His desires

As I visited my child's camp, these were the visions
and words from the Father concerning His desires:

Vision # 1 --- The Shroud
I saw a shroud about the children, almost as if
it was a black, tarry substance that stuck to them
It filled in holes and stayed about them as they ran and played,
listened and slept
What was this substance?
Was it a form of protective covering, for surely
these were children from "Christian" homes?
No, as God explained it to me:

THE SUBSTANCE YOU SEE IS NOT
OF MY DOING OR MY BEING
IT IS THE "TAR," FILTH OF THIS WORLD
WHICH ENCOMPASSES THE CHILDREN
THEY ARE USED TO IT FOR IT IS
PRACTICALLY EVERYWHERE THEY GO
BUT LITTLE OF HOLINESS IS ABLE TO PENETRATE
THIS THICK DEFENSE SYSTEM
HERE IS HOW YOU MUST PRAY

Father, I speak before Your Throne this day
to ask You to remove the substance around our youth
that prevents Your Holiness from making its mark on their lives
I speak the Blood of Jesus Christ upon the youth
that they would be free from the world's evil
and contemptuous ways before You
I ask You to wrap them in Your Arms,
to be surrounded by Your Heartbeat that they would
begin to discern what is evil in their midst
and rebuke its hold upon them
I speak FREEDOM to the youth
that they would know Your Righteousness
in ways that previous generations have missed
the Righteousness that comes from a transformed life
and the Presence of the Holy Spirit within
Amen.



Vision # 2 --- Sleeping child
I saw a young lady "sleeping," but still attending a camp service
Her eyes were wide open and she was thinking
of the boy two rows down from her
The speaker spoke and finally the music began to play
and she heard the request to
"Come forward if you want Jesus in your life"
She wasn't sure what it meant,
but everyone in her row left to go to the front
What would that boy, who she had her eyes on, think if she stayed?
She walked forward quickly, looking back at him while she passed his row
Surely he would come, too, and she would have a better look
at how cute he was
She was handed a Bible and repeated the words that she was told to say
and then everyone went back to their cabins
Simple - she had no idea Christianity was this simple
And alas, another "harlot" is born in full

The Father spoke:

HOW UNCOMMON IS THIS?
OF COURSE, IT IS EXAGGERATED, BUT ALSO TRUE
IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES
REMEMBER - ALWAYS REMEMBER
KIDS DO NOT WANT TO APPEAR DIFFERENT
SO WHATEVER THE MAJORITY DOES - THE REST FOLLOW
IT IS SIMPLE
THEIR LITTLE EGOS LAY DORMANT ON THE FLOOR
UNTIL THEY ARE UPSTAGED
"FOLLOW ME" THEY HEAR ALL THE DIFFERENT VOICES
SAY TO THEM EACH DAY
THEY BECOME "ASLEEP" TO BYPASS THE CONFUSION
THEY LIVE IN THEIR OWN PRIVATE WORLD
TO KEEP THE VOICES QUIET
BUT STILL THEY FOLLOW SOMEONE
WHO WILL THEY FOLLOW?

AND THIS IS THE PRAYER TO PRAY:

Father, I come before Your Throne
with a request to WAKE UP this generation
To create in them a hunger to know and understand
the claims of Jesus Christ, the Son of God
May they know in their spirit the Truth of the words
which are presented to them
and may they surrender with their entire body, soul, spirit,
mind and heart
to You to take them over completely
May they never think that what they see
in the churches today is Christianity
May Christianity be brought to its full form and POWER
in this generation
Wake them up to hear the message,
respond in entirety
and then not be able to be silent concerning this
NEW LIFE


One final vision explains the last prayer and yet,
many will rebuke the idea, but it is Truth and Life
to this generation

# 3 Vision --- The Embrace
An adult rushes to embrace the new young Christian
They hold the child tightly against them and tells them to remember
to read their Bible and come to church on Sunday
They offer the child a ride to church and tell them
all about the youth group activities
Do you see anything wrong with this picture?
Of course not
What compassion and concern
a willingness to lay their life down to help this young person
and yet . . .

LET ME TELL A STORY TO SHOW AN ILLUSTRATION
OF WHAT I AM ABOUT TO PRESENT

THERE WAS A VERY FAMOUS MAN WHO RAN A CITY
IT WAS A SMALL CITY, BUT STILL IT WAS AN HONOR
TO BE THE LEADER
THE CITY WAS RUN WELL AND THE PEOPLE OF THE TOWN
WERE ALL HAPPY, WELL FED, WELL EDUCATED
AND SINCERELY TRIED TO HELP THEIR NEIGHBORS
ONE DAY THE MAYOR OF THE CITY TOLD THE PEOPLE
THAT HE WAS GOING TO BEGIN A NEW "PROGRAM"
HE WAS GOING TO BRING ORPHANED CHILDREN
TO THE TOWN FROM ANOTHER CITY
TO PLAY AND INTERACT WITH THE CHILDREN OF HIS TOWN
AND TO RECEIVE MANY OF THE BENEFITS
OF THE WEALTH OF THE CITY
THE PLAN WENT WELL AT FIRST,
BUT AFTER A FEW WEEKS UNDER THIS "PROGRAM"
SOME OF THE ADULTS BEGAN TO NOTICE
THAT THE ORPHANED CHILDREN
WERE BEGINNING TO DRESS BETTER THAN THEIR CHILDREN
THE ORPHANED CHILDREN SEEMED TO BE OFFERED
BETTER TOYS THAN THEIR KIDS HAD
FOR THEY DID NOT WANT TO SPOIL THEIR OWN CHILDREN
THEY EVEN NOTICED THAT THE NEW CHILDREN SPOKE
MORE POLITELY AND ELOQUENTLY
THAN THE TOWN CHILDREN

"THIS PROGRAM MUST STOP,"
MANY OF THE ADULTS PROCLAIMED
BUT THE MAYOR WOULDN'T LISTEN
HE STILL HAD A HEART OF GOLD
AND HE ONLY SAW CHILDREN BEING HELPED
HE NEVER SAW THE COMPETITION AS A DETRIMENT
TO THE TOWN CHILDREN
FOR THE NEW CHILDREN NEVER FLAUNTED THEIR PROGRESS --
IN FACT, THEY WERE VERY GRATEFUL

THERE CAME A POSSE ONE NIGHT THAT MET
AND DEVISED A WAY TO RID THE TOWN OF THE "NEW KIDS"
THEIR PLAN WAS CLEVER, ALTHOUGH NOT WELL THOUGHT-OUT
AND WITH MANY ADULTS WORKING SIDE BY SIDE
THEY WERE ABLE TO STOP THE PROGRAM WITHIN A FEW SHORT WEEKS

WHAT THEY DIDN'T REALIZE IS THAT FRIENDSHIPS
HAD BEEN FORMED
AND THE CHILDREN OF THE TOWN HAD SEEN WHAT
THEY HAD MISSED OUT ON
AND SOON THEY LEFT THEIR PARENTS AND THE TOWN
TO FOLLOW THESE "NEW" KIDS

THE KIND MAYOR IS MYSELF
I COULD BRING THE NEW CHRISTIANS OF THIS GENERATION
INTO THE CHURCHES
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
MANY OF YOU WOULD BECOME JEALOUS
OF THEIR POWER AND GIFTINGS
MANY OF YOU WOULD PLAN AND PLOT AND DEVISE WAYS
TO RID THE CHURCH OF THE "TROUBLE-MAKERS"
BUT I WILL SIMPLY SKIP THAT PART
AND IN DUE TIME
I WILL REMOVE YOUR OWN CHILDREN FROM THE CHURCHES
AND BRING THEM TO THE REVOLUTIONARIES TO BE
FIRED UP!
YOU KEEP YOUR CHILDREN ON PEDESTALS
IN YOUR CONGREGATIONS
ANYTHING - ANYTHING TO IMPROVE THE YOUTH PROGRAMS
TOO BAD, MY FRIENDS
I WILL NOT ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO BECOME AS THEIR PARENTS
THEY ARE TOO PRECIOUS TO ME
WAY TOO PRECIOUS TO BECOME COWARDLY BEGGARS
ALWAYS WANTING SOMETHING FROM ME
WITHOUT SACRIFICING ANYTHING
NO, I'M GOING TO RAISE UP CHILDREN LIKE MYSELF
WHO WANT TO GIVE AND GIVE AND GIVE
UNTIL THEIR LIVES ARE NO MORE

YES, YOU ARE RIGHT
THE MAN OFFERED THE YOUNG MAN AN EMBRACE
HE WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO WELCOME THE NEW CHRISTIAN
BUT HOW LONG WOULD THAT LAST?
WOULD IT SURVIVE THE YOUNG MAN PLACING HANDS ON
ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE CHURCH AND A HEALING TAKING PLACE
OR TONGUES SPOKEN?
WOULD IT SURVIVE THE YOUNG MAN COMING UP TO THE FRONT
AND ASKING TO TELL THE CONGREGATION
ABOUT HIS NEW FOUND LOVE FOR JESUS?
WOULD IT SURVIVE THIS SAME YOUNG MAN BRINGING
HIS FRIENDS WHO WERE NOT YET CHRISTIANS TO THE CHURCH
BAREFOOT AND STILL HIGH ON DRUGS?
WOULD IT SURVIVE THIS YOUNG MAN'S RIGHTEOUSNESS
WHEN HE SEES A PARENT
ABUSE A CHILD AND SPEAKS THE TRUTH OUT LOUD?
HOW LONG WOULD A RIGHTEOUS, POWER-FILLED YOUNG PERSON
SURVIVE IN THE CHURCH?
NOT LONG

BUT THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT
FOR I HAVE A DIFFERENT PLAN
NEVER ASK
WHY THERE IS NO MOVEMENT OF GOD IN YOUR CHURCHES
NEVER WONDER WHY I DON'T VISIT
NEVER ASK ME TO COME
FOR WHEN I COME
I BRING MY FRIENDS
I COME IN POWER
AND ALL WILL BE HUMBLED

YOU SEE, THE YOUTH OF THIS DAY
DO NOT MIND BEING HUMBLED IN ORDER TO WIN THE GREAT PRIZE
THEY ARE STILL SO YOUNG THAT THEY BELIEVE THAT ONE MUST
WORK FOR A REWARD
THEY ARE NOT LAZY AND DEPENDENT
ON THE MIS-SPOKEN MESSAGE OF GRACE
THEY WILL WORK
AND THEY WILL WORK HARD
AND THEY WILL SURELY PUT THE CHURCH-GOERS TO SHAME

YOU LINE YOUR VESTIBULES WITH ESPRESSO CARTS
AND STILL YOU THINK THAT I WILL COME
YOU ARE FOOLS
IF YOU LINED THE VESTIBULES WITH PEOPLE ON THEIR KNEES
AND CONTRITE HEARTS
PERHAPS, I WOULD COME
BUT ONLY IF YOU ALLOW THOSE WHO I LOVE TO COME, ALSO
ONLY THEN

SERVANT, ARE WE FINISHED?
NO, WE ARE NOT
FOR I MUST NOW SPEAK TO YOU

PART I
I SOLEMNLY TELL YOU THIS DAY
THAT YOU ARE NOT TO ENTER A CHURCH BUILDING
OF ANY KIND - FOR ANY REASON
FOR YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT WELCOME
IN YOUR FULLNESS OF ME
YOU KNOW THAT MY CHILDREN WILL NOT BE WELCOME
YOU KNOW THAT MY FULLNESS IS CONDEMNED IN THESE PLACES
AND I SPEAK TO YOU THIS DAY
STEP NOT A RIGHTEOUS FOOT UPON THEIR THRESHOLD
FOR I AM ABOUT TO BURN THEM TO THE GROUND

PART II
YOU SEE YOUNG PEOPLE EVERYDAY, SERVANT
AND MANY ARE THOSE WHO LOOK YOU STRAIGHT IN THE EYES
THOSE ARE THE ONES WHO ARE MINE
CALL THEM OUT
PLACE MY RIGHTEOUSNESS UPON THEM
PRAY FOR THEIR COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION
AND ADMONISH THEM NOT TO STEP UPON CHURCH GROUNDS

PART III
YOU SEE YOUNG CHILDREN AND BABIES
STILL HELD AND IN STROLLERS
CALL THEM ALL UNTO ME
AWAKEN THEIR SPIRITS TO HUNGER FOR MY LIFE
AND ONLY MY LIFE
COMMIT THESE BABIES, TODDLERS UNTO ME

AND SOON WE WILL HAVE A GENERATION OF THOSE
WHO TRULY KNOW ME

WHAT IS IT ABOUT TRULY KNOWING ME
THAT CAUSES CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP TO SWEAT
AND REBUKE AND BLASPHEME?
EASY, MY FRIEND
SO SIMPLE, LITTLE ONE
IF YOU PREACH TRUTH ---
THE MONEY DOESN'T FALL FAR ENOUGH
INTO THE PASSING PLATE
IT'S THAT SIMPLE
PASTORS WANT FRIENDS
THEY WANT MONEY
THEY WANT FAME
THEY WANT LARGE, SUCCESSFUL CHURCHES
THEY WANT MY BLESSING

BUT THIS DAY, I PLACE CURSINGS UPON THEM IN FULL
UNTIL THEY WANT TO KNOW ME AS I AM AND PREACH ONLY THAT
THEIR CHURCHES, THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR FINANCES WILL SUFFER
AS MY HEART SUFFERS FOR THEIR HARLOTRY

SIMPLE, CHILD
YOU ARE ON THE WAR-PATH AGAIN
AND WE WILL WIPE OUT THE "HARLOTS"
THAT WILL COME AGAINST MY CHILDREN
WE WILL SHAME THEM AND BURY THEM BENEATH
THE GROUND NOT TO RISE AGAIN

I CALL THE CHILDREN WHO ARE TRULY MINE OUT OF THE CHURCHES
I CALL THEM AWAY FROM THEIR "HARLOT" PARENTS
UNTO THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB
ABRAHAM HAD TO LEAVE HIS FATHER
TO FOLLOW AFTER ME

I CALL FOR THE CHILDREN OF "HARLOTS" TO REBEL
AND RUN TO ME IN GREAT NUMBERS
I CALL FOR THEM TO LEAVE THEIR WONDERFULLY
ORGANIZED YOUTH GROUPS
TO COME TO KNOW ME - TO KNOW TRUTH
TO NO LONGER BE PAMPERED AND SPOILED
AND TOLD THAT GRACE COVERS IT ALL
BUT TO KNOW THAT I AM RIGHTEOUS
AND I DEMAND RIGHTEOUS OFFSPRING

OH THE TROUBLE WE WILL CAUSE,
YOUNG SERVANT
ARE YOU READY?

More than ready
I am bored for I have tried for so long
to bring along those who will not choose to follow You
They balk at every step and create reasons for not following You
The Truth is -
they don't LOVE You or they would follow You
no matter what the consequences are
May I cause GREAT TROUBLE with You, My Lord
and may I be fully responsible for this Movement
I will take all the blame and I will take all the punishment dished out
and I will protect the kids from the "harlot" church
for I have dealt long enough with them and they need to be
WIPED OUT!!!!

AMEN

EVEN THIS DAY,
I SENT MY SERVANT TO RIDE IN HER CONVERTIBLE SPORTS CAR
ABOUT TOWN WITH HER RADIO BLARING ROCK & ROLL MUSIC
SHE LONGED TO TURN DOWN THE MUSIC
FOR PEOPLE BEGAN TO LOOK
AND NOT LOOK WITH LOVE IN THEIR EYES
BUT I CONTINUED THIS EXPLOIT
FOR YOU SEE, IT REPRESENTS THE YOUTH THAT WILL RISE UP
THEY WILL BE JUST THAT OBNOXIOUS
THEY WILL BE RIGHTEOUSNESS BLARING
AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO QUIET THEM
THEY WILL SURELY "RIDE IN STYLE"
AND YOU WILL WANT TO SILENCE THEM
BUT TOO BAD - SO SAD
I AM GOD
AND THEY ARE MY KIDS
AND THEY WILL BE MY INSTRUMENTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
ACROSS THIS EARTH
AS YOU ADULTS SIT IN YOUR CHURCHES
AND TELL EACH OTHER
"GOD BLESS YOU"
FOR YOU SEE
YOU GAVE BIRTH TO WIND
NOT TO MY PEOPLE
YOU SPOKE AND SPOKE AND SPOKE
AND YOU BUILD CHURCH BUILDINGS UNTO YOUR OWN GLORY
AND YOU HAVE PICNICS AND MEETINGS AND OUTINGS
AND FANCY SIGNS IN THE FOYER
AND FRIENDLY - OH SO FRIENDLY BULLETINS
AND IT IS ALL
A BUNCH OF CRAP
THAT COMES OUT OF THE END OF AN ASS
A VERY STUBBORN ASS

SERVANT, FINISH THE "CHURCH" OFF
AS I HAVE GIVEN YOU EZEKIEL 2-3
SPEAK THE REST

"He then said to me:
'Son of man, I will cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem.
The people will eat rationed food in anxiety and
drink rationed water in despair,
for food and water will be scarce.
They will be appalled at the sight of each other
and will waste away because of their sin.'"
Ezekiel 4:16-17

I commend
the "harlots" into Your Hands, Father
for their utter destruction so that this world will know
that You are Righteous
and you desire a clean House.
I bar none from this assault,
for all who are not willing to obey Your Words
are truly not born of Your Spirit.

SHALOM, CHILD
WE ARE DONE FOR THIS EVENING
