Passion and Purity

Living in the will of God is the only thing that will ever bring true peace, joy, contentment,
and yes…excitement! “What is the will of God for me?” you might ask? That you be
“Redeemed” from the enemy’s grip and returned to the loving hands of God the Father,
“Renewed” in your spirit, soul, and body, and “Repositioned” from the kingdom of darkness,
into the kingdom of light and unto the path of purpose God created for you”
Enjoy a few testimonials and a poem from some youth who attended Passion and Purity
Summer Camp (themed identical to this article) and be inspired in your own journey with
God. Let Him preserve you from your days of youth, with fiery faith, and a life full of
purpose.


Wow Moments:
“A prophetic word came to me from a minister that I was having problems hearing the voice
of God and so we prayed about it and from that point I started to hear God’s voice again” –
J.R.


“When the pastor anointed my feet they felt like they were on fire. It confirmed that prayer is
powerful and that God calls us to evangelize to others so they too can be filled
with the Holy Spirit” – N.M.
“It was the times of praise and prayer sessions we had each day as we fellowship with each
other and the Holy Spirit. It was very powerful and encouraged me to live a life of prayer.” –
J.C.


“In a session, I became more aware that God has given me more than a dancing talent, it is a
gift He wants to use to speak to others. The whole camp exceeded my expectations and
helped me draw closer to God.” – S.U.


“Camp was really an eye-opening, extraordinary experience. The campers, camp leaders, and
the Holy Spirit made the atmosphere feel amazing and inviting. There was never a dull
moment! The sessions were impactful, devotions were beautiful, activities well organized,
the talent show/Jesus Party was engaging, and the food was cooked well.” F.R.


Resurrected in Him (by Hugh-Ann Barrett)
The Bible says that God sent Jesus, His only begotten son, so that whoever believes in Him
won’t perish but have eternal life
Yet I still put myself through turmoil and strife
He loved me so much he endured crucifixion, died on the cross, just to save me from sin
Yet I sought earthly love and continued to run away from Him
I still wanted to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh
Is this me saying God is not good enough?
How could I go on knowing this would all end in death?
Lord, forgive me
Create in me a clean heart and purify me
Make me brand new in You
Amen
Romans 6:8 says

Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.
Because I believed He who died for me was raised from the dead
I too was born again, resurrected!
He has given me His life
Now I am eternally gifted!
I’m no longer a slave to sin
For I AM a Child of God
The grace of God goes beyond understanding
I began to remember all the things I was involved in
Smoking, drinking, fornication, stealing
And all I had to say was “YES” in submission to Him
I was deep in the grave
My path of life was surely one that was foolishly brave
I was risking not just natural but spiritual death
I knew I was going to hell
But all it took was one evangelist
To plant a seed in me, one that would stay
The day I decided to go to church with all my piercings and tattoos
No one turned me away
They accepted me with open arms
In that moment, I knew that this was the way
So I got saved
I gave it all to Him
I died to sin
So that I could be resurrected in Him
I died to sin
So that He could transform me
And transform me, He did, as I witnessed all my bad habits fade away
No longer did I desire to go party at the clubs
No longer did I lust for the bag I knew I couldn’t afford
No longer did I want to call “him” over
I died to sin
Now Jesus holds the reigns of my life
No longer a slave to sin
I AM a Child of God!
