Ignited Youth at Warriorfest 2025: A Powerful Move of God

This past weekend, our Ignited Youth embarked on an incredible journey to Tennessee for Warriorfest 2025. We experienced a powerful move of God throughout all five services, and our hearts were forever changed. It was a weekend filled with worship, revelation, and transformation as we gathered with other believers to seek the Lord.

We had the privilege of worshiping with Eddie James and 7 Hills Worship, whose anointed music led us into the presence of God. We also received life-changing messages from renowned speakers, including Perry Stone, Amanda Stone, Jentezen Franklin, and Nik Walker. Each sermon spoke deeply to our spirits, challenging us to grow in our faith and dedication to the Lord.

Jentezen Franklin: Cutting the Rope Jentezen Franklin delivered a powerful message encouraging us to "Cut the Rope," meaning to eliminate Plan B. He reminded us that people often quit because they have an alternative in mind. He referenced Acts 27, where some pretended to let down the anchors but were actually putting down the safety boat. Sometimes we are in the right place but looking in the wrong direction. This message challenged us to trust God fully and not hold onto backup plans that weaken our faith.

Nik Walker: There Arose a Generation Nik Walker shared a compelling word about the Joel 2 revival, focusing on Generation Z. He highlighted how each previous generation—Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials—experienced great revivals, yet the percentage of churchgoers has steadily declined. He connected his message to Jensen Franklin's, emphasizing that what we fail to cut the rope on today will entangle us tomorrow. He warned that what one generation tolerates, the next will celebrate, and eventually, it will be worshiped. This was a sobering reminder to stand firm in our faith and not compromise our values.

Amanda Stone: Spiritual GPS Amanda Stone used the analogy of a GPS to illustrate how God wants to reprogram our lives. She spoke about how we often navigate life in the flesh, but God desires to redirect us in the Spirit. She reminded us that those who operate in the Spirit will appear different to those who only see in the natural, encouraging us to embrace God’s direction even when it seems unconventional.

Perry Stone: The Battle Within Perry Stone delved into the spiritual battles we face, highlighting that sometimes our struggles are not spiritual warfare but the result of our own words and actions. He warned that extreme negativity and hatred can shut off the logical part of the brain, making it difficult to understand truth. He also outlined five spirits that the last generation will have to contend with:

• Spirit of Offense (Matthew 24:11-13)

• Lying Spirit (2 Chronicles 18:22)

• Spirit of Deception (Matthew 4:4)

• Seducing Spirit (2 Timothy 4:1)

• Tormenting Spirits (Matthew 18:34) – which affect those who do not forgive.

Perry emphasized that these spirits will attack weak believers, urging us to pray fervently in the Spirit and strengthen our spiritual walk.

*We are beyond proud of our Ignited Youth! They were fully engaged in the services, worshiped passionately, and prayed with others. Their hunger for God and willingness to serve was inspiring. This trip was not just an event—it was an encounter with God that left a lasting impact on all of us.

We had the best time seeking the Lord, encouraging one another, and strengthening our faith. Warriorfest 2025 was life-changing, and we cannot wait to see what God has in store for next year!
