Today is the 23rd anniverary of 9/11, the day when America changed in a moment. I remember where I was that morning the planes hit the Twin Towers in New York City. I remember how fast the news spread across the world. I remember.

It’s amazing how events in our own life mark us and cause us to never forget. Most people have more “enemy” events they can’t forget than God events. I see this changing drastically. Israel had a history of markers where God did something undeniable and they will never forget. They saw the Red Sea part; they crossed the Jordan River on dry ground; they watched the walls of Jericho fall; they saw the fire on Mt. Sinai and saw the tablets of stone written with the finger of God; they were there when fire fell on the altar with Elijah on Mt. Carmel; they witnessed the pillar of fire at night and the cloud by day as they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years; they saw the plagues God sent on Egypt; they saw Jesus and Peter walk on water; they witnessed the feeding of the 4,000 and 5,000 with very little food; they were there when the fire and wind came on Pentecost; they know of flood and the saving of Noah and his family; they heard what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah; story after story after story of God events in Israel’s history.

Events that mark us forever happen in a moment, but they last a lifetime. You and I both have God events in our life, but most people have more enemy events that God events so we struggle to believe God because we have been so wounded by the enemy events that have marked us. But, I see a God event coming to our generation that will mark us in a way that makes 9/11 seem small. A God event that changes everything forever. We will not forget this God event, it will happen in a moment, but it will mark us forever. We will never be able to forget what God is about to do, it will be shared for generations to come. Friends, God is not going to let the enemy mark you and I anymore, He is about to mark us in a way we will not be able to deny.
