The Action Report Young Souls Sell Out - to Jesus By Frank Eiklor and the Shalom Team It was the end of January 2013 and I was face to face with thousands of youth in Argentina. It was to be the largest campaign I had ever been invited to speak to—every night of this great gathering. I believe the devil has a great fear of—and hatred toward—our youth
What is it like to look into such a sea of faces? I am often gripped by God’s love as Walter translates my words and we give a call to action. You see, I believe the devil has a great fear of—and hatred toward—our youth. When a young soul sells out to Jesus, those early years of strength, energy and vigor can inflict great damage to the kingdom of darkness. Look at Joseph as God’s example of purity. David as a youth of courage. The three Hebrew young men ready to die rather than compromise their obedience to God. Timothy, who caught Paul’s vision of others, others, others—rather than join the crowd of those only full of themselves. And what about those 144,000 Israelites yet to come—with no other desire except to "follow the Lamb wherever He goes.” Wow! Double Wow!! They felt the power of the Cross and were drawn by His love
That’s the potential I see in those thousands of young faces. And they saw Jesus! They felt the power of the Cross and were drawn by His love, each young life hearing that he/she has a heavenly purpose.
A hypocritical world screams when young people commit atrocities. But those same educators teach them there is no God. Hollywood glorifies sex and murder. Politics is filled with lies, greed and lust. Parents divorce or offer few examples of a God-influenced home. And churches are often changed by our culture rather than being the instrument to change the world. An army of youth—pure and holy—is being raised by the Holy Spirit
As the Shalom team travels and ministers, you can be with us in spirit, and we will report on the action. The awesome power of Jesus will continue to open young eyes and "turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God”. An army of youth—pure and holy—is being raised by the Holy Spirit. Thank you for partnering in prayer and giving. Without you support, our hands would be tied. But with your help, our hands will hold the Word of God high like a banner to call thousands of young people to become flames for God.

Eastern mysticism and meditation is a big thing in the gullible West. And one day a “world leader” will appear on the scene with the persuasion of a god and the heart of a devil. Jesus warns His children to know the Scriptures, live in obedience to the Father’s will, and stay alert to the signs of the times. They laugh no more. Now God’s description of how He will destroy the old earth and create a
new one makes perfect sense. The splitting of the atom turned many skeptics into believers.
After all, look what man himself is capable of doing with the atom and hydrogen bombs. Now
the fear is that nuclear weapons are being placed in the hands of madmen who wish to annihilate
their enemies. God has blessed man with incredible genius. We stand in awe as we watch men and women in a room full of computers and high-tech instruments guiding and landing spacecraft on distant planets. At that moment, we appear invincible. But then a mammoth tornado comes—or a terrifying hurricane—or rains that flood whole regions and never listen to our shouts to “Stop!”—or the shake that removes from under our feet any confidence or pride we carry, and leaves us numb with hardly enough breath to even utter the paralyzing word “EARTHQUAKE!”. And man is helpless in the face of it all! |
