I was asked one time why I hang out with older people, rather than people my age or younger people. I have thought about that question a lot. I have friends of all ages, but yes I have some friends older than me that I do life with. These friends are stable, wise and easy to hang out with. They have so many stories to tell and they will never change their mind about you. So many qualities they carry, I can’t imagine life without them.

In Houston this past weekend I was invited to speak at a church where the pastor is 85 years old and her congregation is filled with many crowns of glory people. There were a few people my age and some young adults, but for the most part we sang songs the younger ones did not know and we all enjoyed the service. But the question I asked the Lord is, why are you sending me to the older generation?

The Lord answered me on the plane home from Houston, He said, “In the church they love the youth and the young adults, revivals are geared to them that jump, shout and look good on television, but in the kingdom of God I honor the elders and tell them first what I am doing. I am sending you to the elders, to the generals, to honor them for honor unlocks in them what they carry and the generations behind them need what they know, what they’ve seen, what they’ve heard. I, the Lord, start my announcements with the elders not the youth, in the kingdom.”

I said, yes sir, I hear you loud and clear! Friends, the generals in the faith may not be jumping up and down, spinning around, but they carry wisdom, power, glory and many stories we need to hear. God is doing a legacy move and this starts with the Abraham’s then goes the Isaac’s then to the Jacob’s and the 12 tribes of Israel. God is announcing to the elders, to the generals what He is doing and if we honor them it will unlock what is inside of them. They are not going to be forgotten in this move of God, says the Lord.
