A Plea


  We currently live in a lost generation, a generation that wants leaders but all anyone ever does is follow. A generation that searches for love in all the wrong places, and has a desire for something more but the Devil has construed that desire for things of this world. This is a generation that is so hooked on drugs, alcohol, and sex that we have lost sight of who we truly are in God. We would rather be out partying Saturday night and watching sports on Sunday than going and worshipping the King. How did it get to this? It got to this because the generation before us has failed. Why do you think we are called the lost and fatherless generation? Because we have had no one to raise us up and show us the things of God. Instead when things get tough people abandon us. Now I am not talking to everyone out there because there are people who have stepped up as leaders and tried to raise this generation right (like my parents). I am more so making this plea to those who haven’t done the task God called them too. The generation that has come before us, WE NEED YOU! We need guidance, we need direction. We need to be shown the things of God by people that are wiser than us. Like I said earlier we are a lost generation crying out for help yet where are you when we need you the most? If you’re scared of the sins that we have committed then how will we ever get saved? We need you to commit yourselves to go into the darkest places, reach in there with the love of God, and save us from eternal sin.

  God has placed a burden on me for this generation. It disgusts me the sin that we are in. What even disgusts me more is when I look to our parents/elders who are supposed to be helping us yet don’t; it breaks my heart. This nation….America is slowly falling apart. The reason being is that the people that are rising into power and starting to take over the major business do not know or understand the things of God because the generation before has failed to live up to their God given task. It says in Proverbs 22:6

“Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.”

  This is the task God has presented, why then has it not been fulfilled? It is in the times of our youth that we are most impressionable. It is in these times where our character is defined and where we figure out who we are. We need the adults to help guide us to the right direction. To help us learn from their mistakes so we don’t make the same. Are you going to just let the Generational curse continue of a generation that keeps making the same mistakes as the first…plus making a few more. In Jermiah 2:2 it says

"I remember you, The kindness of your youth, The love of your betrothal, When you went after Me in the wilderness, In a land not sown.”

  God remembers our youth and longs for everyone to be brought back to it. No matter what age you’re at, He longs for you to have passion and fire aimed towards Him.


  This is why I am making this plea. Older generations, we need you! We are at the ages where we have this passion and fire but the Devil has turned that passion and fire to sinning. Come and help us….please. Mentor us and show us how truly great God is. Step up to the plate and don’t be scared. Don’t give up on us when things get tough because if you train us up right then it equips us to train up the generation after us. Yes we do have our own free will but going back to Proverbs 22:6 if you train us up right we will not flee from it. So please help us so that this generational curse of falling into the same corrupt sin can finally stop. With help from the generation before us it will make things a whole lot easier than if we have to figure it out on our own. We need your help….please don’t leave this for us to figure it out on our own. We need you to rise up and take a chance on us, you will be surprised by what we will do for the Lord’s Kingdom.
