The other most powerful moment for me at Battlecry happened Saturday night. Ron Luce, who I loved listening to, asked all the Youth Leaders to come down on the floor.
As we made our way down, me from the nosebleed section, he stated that he wanted to pray over us. I don’t know about you, but I love to be prayed over. I love to be prayed for, but there’s something about it that just calms me, energies me, excited me, no matter what the prayer.
And here I was, making my way to the floor, for a group of 9,000 people to pray for me and the other youth leaders.
The prayer was so powerful. He talked about we, the youth leaders, are the generals leading our Armies.
Prior to the prayer, Ron talked about how 98% of the world are culture followers and only 2% are the culture leaders. He asked us who wanted to be in the 2%. At the break, we were all given pieces of tinfoil.
After the prayer, he asked the kids who wanted to be a reflection of Christ and be in that 2%. He told them to raise their tinfoil if they wanted reflect Christ. At that moment, the lights were flashing and as I looked around the Coliseum, there were flashes of light.
And then he said this…
“Youth Leaders, look around…. this is your Army.”
I looked up in section 234…to the last row of seats and saw MY army, their tin foil in the air and I can’t describe the feeling that came over me.
It was a beautiful sight. It was bright…it was shiny… it was amazing.
MY ARMY.
I’m ready for battle.
Until next time…
General Heather
