"There's no hope for my generation since the world is getting darker every day."
How it sounds in your head: Everyone says my generation is the worst - addicted to screens, no morals, no faith. The world is getting darker, and we're part of the problem. Maybe there's no hope for us. We're just the last generation before it all falls apart. What can I even do?
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising."
-- Isaiah 60:1-3Enemy agreement with generational curse-speaking from older believers - religion cursing instead of blessing the next generation.
He constantly hears adults complain about 'kids these days' and prophecy teachers say his generation is the last and worst. The constant negativity makes him feel like his generation is doomed instead of destined.
When Israel was at their darkest moment, hiding in caves from enemies, the angel called Gideon 'mighty warrior' while he was hiding in fear. God didn't see the weakness of his generation - He saw the warrior who would deliver them, and Gideon won with just 300 men.
I REFUSE the lie that my generation is hopeless. IT IS WRITTEN that when darkness covers the earth, the glory of the LORD arises upon ME, and His glory is SEEN upon me. I am not the problem; I am the light. I am not the last gasp; I am the great awakening. IT IS WRITTEN that I am the light of the world, a city on a hill that cannot be hidden. The BARAK blessing is on my generation - we will be mighty warriors like Gideon, world-changers like Joseph, giant-slayers like David. Darkness doesn't scare me; it's my stage. The darker it gets, the brighter I shine. My generation will turn the world upside down for Jesus.
Your Father isn't writing off your generation - He's looking at you the way He looked at Gideon hiding in a winepress, calling you 'mighty warrior' before you've picked up a sword. He's RUNNING toward you with destiny, not disappointment.
