The devil is scared to death because he doesn't know what God's weapon is. God has a Secret weapon!!!
Young people, as far as life itself, I'd hate to have to go back through all the trials and the ups and downs to get to where I am now with one exception; the vision that the prophet of God had concerning a move of God in this hour in which God was going to move among the youth. He said that not many above the age of 35 would be used in this hour. I hope I'm one of the ones to be used of God and I want to be a part of your generation's manifestation of the outpouring of the Holy Ghost. He promised a mighty outpouring and the greatest outpouring of all just before He splits the eastern sky. He's coming to us now by His spirit.
If it wasn't for the Lord using me as maybe an instructor in this great Army, then I would wish that I could have been born in your time. I wish that I could be your age because of the awesomeness of what God is doing and is going to do in your time. Look at how God has been moving the past few years in these Youth Camps. He is revealing himself through revelation to the Youth. Allowing them to be children, but still filling them with the Holy Ghost and giving them the knowledge they need to be the army of the hour. How many of you have a feeling of expectancy for a visitation in your life?
In this hour that we are in the devil is going to be unleashed greater and in more power than he ever has in any generation. But the Bible says, "no weapon formed against you shall prosper." The Bible tells us that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit of God will lift up a standard against him. God will fight for you. We are not built to run from the devil! The armor that we learned about at Youth Camp 2000 taught us that. Not only are you not built to run from the devil, but God has a plan.
How many know what the sign of His coming is? A Star!!! And what is a star? A great ball of fire!!! That great ball of fire is on it's way now, coming closer and closer and closer to earth. It is the sign of His coming and the voice of His coming is projected by the Elijah spirit throughout our land today. Glory to God I'm feeling a chill. You know why I'm feeling a chill? Because I'm on ice. God's got a secret weapon and this huge ball of fire, called His star, is in the heavens coming towards earth right now. We can't see it. We're here on earth and our eyes can't see that far. If God could let you see with spiritual eyes, you could see that ball of fire because it's coming. It's His sign and it's getting closer and closer and closer. While it's getting closer, and the devil is raging, the great ball of fire is coming and projecting towards the earth and towards you. The spiritual moving is drawing closer and closer and the spiritual voice, the trump of God, is being sounded and the angels are coming forth to gather His chosen. Yet, there's darkness all around, the world is in turmoil, Satan is being unleashed.
Luke 24:22-23
Yea and certain women also of our company, made us astonished which were early at the sepulchre.
This was after Jesus was crucified and they went down to the graveside and there were some women that came to them and astonished them because:
And when they found not his body, they came saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
What did the angel say? He's alive! He's Alive! I don't care how much the devil tells you that your God is dead, the angels will be there ministering to you and they are going to be saying, He's Alive!!! Through all the tribulations on earth, through all that the devil and his imps are projecting, through all the chains and the bondage, the alcohol, the drugs, the lies, the deceit, the molestations, the rapes, the murder, through all that is going on, through all that Satan comes and unleashes upon you, and tries to bind you and stop you from being a Christian, and tries to manipulate you, Jesus is Alive!!
Young ladies, one of the biggest powers in this hour is not drugs or alcohol, it's not the vices, but there is a spiritual demonic force of manipulation. Satan uses this, a lot of times through boys, and Satan will come against and destroy boys and destroy young ladies, by using one to destroy the other. Satan doesn't care, he doesn't like you, he wants you for one purpose and that is to sift you. Satan makes you all these promises, he knows how to reach in and touch your passions and touch your mind, your wants, your desires. He knew how to touch Eve, he knew how to get to Adam through Eve, and as he reaches in there he'll use a portion of what God has put in you and try to turn that around. There are so many people bound. There's women, men and children bound. All the time God is making His approach, Satan is scattering his demons, he's scattering all the demonic powers and spirits of darkness and giving them charge and they are running throughout this world seeking whom they may devour. And as they are going forth they are making their last stand against God and God's children. I want you to know that God is not letting Satan get by. God is going to do it up Big. He's just giving the Devil enough rope to hang himself. It doesn't matter how many people the Devil has bound, or how many the Devil has in his clutches right now, God has a secret weapon! Satan is scared of this weapon. The secret weapon is right before us, it's right before our eyes and we can't see what it is. What is the Secret Weapon? It's a weapon that is fixing to rise up.
Malachi 4:2
But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Notice the spelling of sun. Not S-O-N, but S-U-N. The sun as in the sun that comes up in the morning to tell us it's a new day. The sun of righteousness isn't going down it is coming up with healing in his wings and you shall go forth.
What was Samuel doing when the Lord came to him? He was sleeping! On our T-shirts this year Joel is sleeping with his head on the rock. God's secret weapon is a Sleeping Giant. Hallelujah!!!
Do you remember the story of David and Goliath? The devil had himself a champion and his name was Goliath. He was 9 feet tall and the Devil thought he had Israel whipped. Goliath began to step out there and challenge Israel and to curse Israel in the name of his gods. But there was a young man whose name was David that came riding up one day. When he got there he heard the Devil's champion and what he was voicing against God and against God's people. The armies of the Philistines were beating up God's people, just like Satan is doing to God's people today. What did David do? He looked to see what was going on and asked,"Why hasn't someone shut this man up?" They replied that he was so big and fierce that no one they had could stand a chance against him. He was a giant! So what did David do? He rose up against what Satan was trying to do.
Well God has a sleeping giant!!! The prophet of God prophecied around 30 years ago that he saw a vision of a sleeping giant. A giant lying frozen in ice and snow. The first thing that would come to your mind is that he was bound, but he wasn't bound, he was preserved. He was in reservation. God has preserved a Secret Weapon for this hour, a sleeping giant. The Devil doesn't know about him because he's frozen. He's been on Ice. Yet in this hour as his sign is approaching, as the star of God, this great ball of fire approaches the earth, as the spirit of God comes closer to you, the ice and snow begin to melt. There is a sleeping Giant in this generation, within the hearts and lives of every one of you boys and girls. God has birthed it and placed it there and it's on ice.
In the vision, the sleeping giant was lying there and a great ball of fire was coming towards the earth out of the heavens. And as he saw this great ball of fire coming closer to the earth, the ice began to melt. The giant was still asleep. The giant is; that it's in every one of you. The giant is; that it is a huge body of young people. The Devil would never, ever even imagine that God's secret weapon was the youth of this day, because the Devil thinks that he's got the youth all bound up. He took prayer out of the schools so that he could control you. He put leaders in office so he could get to you minds. He put leaders in office who had no morals. The devil tells you little bit older folks that you may as well do what you want because you're fixing to die in the wilderness. But God's got a generation that he put on ice, and now this ball of fire is coming. You say well how come the devil doesn't know about us? Because this ball of fire is keeping him busy. It's going forth throughout the earth casing a bunch of trouble and havoc and the devil's got his hands full. And while he's got his hands full, there's going to be something burst from the heavens, from this great ball of fire when it gets right here and it's going to be golden drops of rain. Golden Drops of Rain are going to fall upon the giant that has just been loosened and freed form the snow and the ice. When these Golden drops of anointing, from this great fire of God, His very presence, the heart of God, fall upon your bosom then that Giant inside is going to begin to move and shake himself. It's going to wake up and rise to the challenge!!! When it rises to the challenge, you are going to help lead others to Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 60:1
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
You are going to go forth and set other young people free because of the rain of the Holy Ghost, because of the sleeping giant within your bosom. God has planted a seed and He's got a sleeping giant. The devil doesn't know anything and when this rain comes you're going to rise to the challenge. You need to rise today. You need to rise tomorrow, next week next month and every time the devil tells you that you aren't going to keep your stir or you aren't going to stay saved. You need to rise up and say, "Satan you're a liar, for in my bosom is a weapon, the power of the Holy Ghost, the voice of God, the presence of God has embraced me."
Joel 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
And upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
