To My Generation, This Is For You

Impossible? Never.

To My Generation, This Is For You
Faith McCallion

My generation, this is for you.

Our Father,

I love You, and as Your daughter I represent a generation of broken people, full of broken lives and shattered pasts—each one You love so deeply. I know the sea that is in front of us, the sea that we have to cross, and I thank you for Your perfect heart toward us, and how you hold our teared up faces and breathe your love on us--the whole world is in those nail scarred hands. The faithful hold torches, but they need oil. Pharaohs are trying to beat us to the punch, but we know our enemies have lost. We are coming to You, knowing what is ahead. This is the generation that is running straight to Your heart—these are Your people the see things differently, because You have chosen to open their eyes.

So we give up all our sin right now. All our junk.

Every decision where we looked away from Your goodness and gave an ear to the enemy, we come in repentance. In absolute humility, we strip ourselves down. We seek Your freedom right now, so in your name, I command every lie that my generation has believed to go.

“BY MY GRACE: you WILL make it, you are not rebellious, you are not unredeemable, you are beautiful, you are not stupid, you are not selfish, you are not toxic, you are not ugly, you are not weak, you are not afraid, you are fully alive, you are not an addict, you not a drunk, you are on the forefront of my mind, and I have not forgotten you once. You are not cheap, Beloved, I paid a heavy price to ransom you. My blood has accomplished Me in you."

You, God, have disarmed the liar, and we refuse to empower the enemy ever again.

Release again your perfect love that casts out all fear.

Fear go, in Jesus’ name.

Freedom, be released.

Healing come. Heaven come.

We long to be the generation that sees the impossible made possible daily. So we will sing to You now the song of deliverance that will split the sea of lies. Jesus, I thank you that in your death, You brought freedom to all, You bought our redemption and because death could not hold You, death will most certainly not hold any of us. We invite You to come and fill us with Your Holy Spirit, once again, fall afresh.

By Your name, and Yours alone, Jesus:

We submit our lives to do the impossible.

We will hold Your example as the first and only example to live by. We honor the generals you have placed in your sight and the power of the testimonies that have come over a thousand generations.

I ask that You would set every heart that reads this with a fresh fire for You, Lord. Your Presence, Your voice getting louder and louder. A fresh anointing of Your oil and a seal upon their bodies that brands them as Yours. We will not water down Your miracles, but we will do just as You did and the greater things—by Your Holy Spirit alone. We submit in obedience to the Father, His clear voice, just as You did, Jesus.

We hunger to hear as You say, Abba Father, and do as You do.

We refuse to hold back our faith, passion and love for You—doubt cannot box us in any longer, neither can the fear of man. Your unrelenting love and Your power comes and demonstrates who You are on earth as it is in heaven and we confess that we long to be used—we surrender. We long to be known as the generation of faith that walks on water when You call our name, when You wake us in the night, when You visit us in class, when You speak in situations where Your voice is tried to be silenced. We long to be the deliverers You created in that Jesus is the One who lives powerfully through us—You tore the veil in that we would have your open heaven upon us and we long for your Spirit to saturate every room we walk into.

We want to be the generation that overflows with You.

You reset broken bones, so we long to do the same as You live in us.

You heal cancer, heal cancer through us.

You break addictions, we carry Your swords to do just that.

We give ourselves over as your vessels.

Fall on us, Jesus. Use us.

You are the God of miracles.

Whatever it takes, whatever You must break in order to remake—You want to mold us so that we can hold more of who You are.

We love you, Jesus. Your death has made this possible—to live in the power of Your Presence. As a generation, our longing is that You would use us to do exactly what You came and died to do, giving us the fire of Your Spirit. Just as you walked with Adam and Eve, just like the Garden..

Do again. With us kids. Your goodness is all we long to know better—we refuse to partner with anything less; only You Jesus. Only You.

Be enthroned upon our praises. We thank you, Abba. Amen.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
