The Power of Forgiveness
The Power of Forgiveness: Here at YWAM Asheville forgiveness, restoration, and reconciliation are more than just lecture topics.
A poem inviting Gen-Z into the life they were made for, "Taking a Leap of Faith" by YWAM Asheville staff member Iyanna.
What a time it is to be alive
We have witnessed many life-changing events that have defined our history and shaped our lives
From the moment we were born, our lives have been mapped out before us
We are encouraged to follow the typical order of life:
Finish high school, graduate college, begin your career, and start a family.
Constantly going through our days feeling weighed down by the expectations of society
Fearing the day we dare to break outside of the mold of normality
These milestones are precious but I am eagerly awaiting the day we can finally be free
Free from the smallness of our thinking and willing to ask God what he desires to see
I believe a zealous generation is being birthed
Not out of rebellion but out of longing for something more
A generation that believes that there are new adventures to embark on and explore
The Lord is calling a generation that will respond to the Great Commission
Proclaiming our allegiance to Jesus without delay or disobedience
We can no longer afford to live with us on the throne
The world is waiting for a solution to sin and the answer is Jesus our cornerstone
We are called to preach the Gospel of Jesus to every nation, tribe, and tongue
A responsibility that falls on the elders of the church and those that are young
The world is waiting for an encounter with a love that never fails
A hope that is unshakable
A sustainable freedom that changes us from the inside out.
All desires only found in the author of life himself
We were created to be his ambassadors of light in the darkest of places
Clothed in God’s armor to be used as a vessel
Fighting not against flesh and blood but against a real enemy that we wrestle
It will take all believers working together as one
Walking out in boldness and confidence of who we have become
I invite you to step out in faith to a greater degree
To proclaim liberty to the captives and set them free
Bringing them from death to life, shame to dignity
Where we are headed, fear cannot follow
I invite you to become a witness to the only God with the power to save us from ourselves
In all the uncertainty of what our lives are to succumb to
I am sure of this: The world is waiting for you
