the chosen

fox news reported on the 27th of december that there has been a "generation shift" in the young people. suddenly todays youth are standing up on their beliefs for more than just aids and abortion. the caption at the bottom of the screen read, "young evangelists". the thing different about us, this generation, we don't care to stand up for the name of Jesus.
this is shocking people and society. for too long we have been the conservatives who never fought back. this has changed.
you always hear about the "chosen generation" yet, are never sure of which one it is.
we are the chosen generation.
our calling was more than just simply preaching the name of Jesus, but to revolutionize the world for that name. your world, the place you're at right this second, is the one you were called to, rational or not.
we have chosen to raise the standard, and above all else, be a revolutionary for the cause of Christ.
we have chosen to unveil the Man, the Savior, that everyone in the world needs to know. we've done it in public view.
we have chosen to live our lives on the frontline, prepared for humiliation, persecution, oppression, pain and death.
we have chosen to not stay silent.
we have chosen to live in victory unashamed of the One we are fighting for.
we have chosen God as our everything, not our top priority or number one.
we have chosen to live outside the norm and natural. we've decided that nothing no matter how small or irrelevant, that it is clamed victorious, and possible.
we have chosen not just to flee form evil, but to overcome and overtake it.
we have chosen ot look that pure evil in the face, unafraid, only fearing God, not man and evil.
we have chosen to only be satisfied with Him, not the world, popularity, money, relationships, music.
we have chosen to trample religion and it's perks, rituals, gratification, and lies.
we have chosen to surrender our trust, relience, faith, on a Man that we have never seen.
we have chosen to say and believe things that aren't as though they were.
we have chosen ot live completely sold out to the Spirit, giving Him the room to breathe and work through our lives.
we have chosen to be radicals. revolutionaries.
we are the chosen generation simply because we chose to be. it's that simple. you have that choice, and i have that choice. chose that narrow road with your generation.
all it has been and all it's ever going to be is a choice. let your yes be yes, and your no be no. all or nothing. you can either sit or stand, but you can't do both. you alone are only human, but God is God.
we are the chosen.
