We are revealing the Manifesto of who we are as The New Young Christians. If you haven't read the beginning or the first Hill you can check it out here...
The New Young Christian has a mandate that is “we won’t go unless you go with us, God.” God’s presence is our preference. It’s in the presence of God that miracles are found, miracles abound, wisdom accrues, forgiveness flourishes, battles are won and purpose is found. It’s exhilarating when the lost are found. It’s invigorating when the broken are whole. It’s intoxicating when God speaks your name. Because when you truly experience the presence of God you won’t want to be anywhere else or with anyone else. One day with God is better than a 1000 other days doing a 1000 other things with a 1000 other people. But a chosen generation chooses Jesus. God’s presence is our preference. Jesus is our greatest need and our greatest fulfillment. Our surroundings get us busy and our commitments get us working but when we focus on the one thing that we can do, which is to sit at the feet of the one who called us, then everything we were doing doesn’t matter because the one who puts the planets into orbit stops our movement for his enjoyment.
When we sit at the feet of Jesus we can stand against the opposition. Because we are a praying generation. Our prayers are not a saturated list of” what I want to God to do for me” but a single line of “what can I do for God.” Because when it seems good to us and the Holy Spirit then our significance is never more real and our understanding never more known. When we seek God opportunities seek us, our striving to please others ceases and our sensitivity to God increases. Be present in the presence.
Then Moses said, “If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place. "
Exodus 33:15
