First, let’s define the word passive. The Oxford dictionary’s definition is accepting or allowing what happens or what others do, without active response or resistance. Some people have called it, permissive parenting which can be characterized by:

As parents we all have desires for our children. Let’s look at the Life of Hannah in 1 Samuel. The book opens up with a man named Elkanah and his two wives (Peninnah and Hannah). Peninnah would often taunt Hannah because she was barren. What I love about Hannah is that in her desperation for a baby she cried out to the Lord. She made the vow in vs. 11, “O Lord of Heavens Armies, if you will look upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you.” Hannah dedicated her child to the Lord. God answered Hannah’s prayer and gave her a boy, whom she named Samuel (meaning God hears or God answers). Hannah nursed the boy until he was 5 or 6 and then took him to the tabernacle and left him to become a Prophet. (1 Samuel 1:27-28)

It is imperative that teenagers have a mid-week opportunity to encounter God. Last week's service was powerful and we are believing for signs, wonders, and miracles in our youth. The enemy is working overtime to expose teenagers to anything that will rob them of God’s truth. He doesn't want them to know their identity in Christ. He doesn't want them to have a Godly foundation. He wants them to be setup for detours and destruction. Not our students! No detours! Fearless students are students that put God first and are teenagers who are bringing in revival. They are a generation that is fearless for the kingdom of God.
