I learned how we should really apply •ftiese Heaven's Girl Stories to our lives 4 try to get as much out of them as I can! PTLl I really got convicted about my prayer life 4 I realised that although I have been praying, I hadn't been praying desperately enough 4 | was really crying out to Him to help me! LHMI I've learned to really have faith when I pray that the Lord hears me 4 that He wflI answer me! PG! (Chris A.)

"WrKT IF?" 3 4 4 I'm shocked, ashamed, frightened 4

anything else I can think of! Wren I heard [t I think my heart skipped a beat! I'm really quite ashamed because I really haven't been redeeming the time as I should have, LHMI Now I'm really going to get serious about It—LHM! (Bathsheba)

TYJ! It was a real Inspiration 4 really a bottle breaker! I was really seeing how stuck In a rut we can be 4 get so set In our ways 4 our own pet doctrfnes of the way that we think that It Is going to be. I was really seeing how we really do get our own little loons because ft Is just the way we have thought It to be for so long. LHMI It was also so convicting to me to see the simple childlike faith that Grandpa has, 4 even though he may have thought something to be one way for so long, he Is st! 11 wf11Ing to change his own theories 4 the way that he thought ft was 4 accept what the Lord showed him. TYJ! It was such a sample to me that Grandpa at his age can be such a new bottle & w! 11Ing to admit that what he thought alI along was not the right Interpretation. It really Impressed me 4 made me wonder If I would be able to humble myself 4 admit that I was not right 4 accept something totally new! We should be able to be that way, too! (Jason F.)

Boy, TTL for Grandpa always breaking our bottles!—Ha! It really keeps me awake 4 on my toes! Wow! What a vision that class gives me! I thfnk that's one of the best redeemrng-the-tfme lessons yet! It really spurs ma to action 4 really makes me want to move! Hal! I came here thinking we had 7 or 8 years left, but I guess I'll leave knowing different! (Sunny)

It was a beautiful class! It was really exciting to thfnk how wonderful the Rapture Is gofng to be, 4 Heaven, 4 what a reward He has If we're faithful! It makes ms- want to really do more for Him 4 others, because He's coming so soon! It also really amazed me how much the Lord loves us, to rescue us frcm the World 4 make us His own! I feel really unworthy to be here at the TTC! He showed Grandpa what the Marriage Supper really Is! (Al I that those wicked people do to us Is nothing compared to what God wllI dish out to them!) This helped m remember, trx», that we're not here just for us but to help spare others frcm these horrible hor­rors! LHU to be faithful to tell them! (Ma­ria)

I ttilnk I'm really going to enjoy that Feast, especially the Battle at the end.

By the grace of God I m going to change 4 really be a revolutionary teen for the Lord 4 real Iy show Regfna how she should be so she doesn^t make the same mistake that I made In getting worldly.

LflyH4—GBY, Grandpa 4 Mama, I wanted

" : • • • . " - ' - •

to write & say how thankful I an for this Teen Revoluttonl Honestly, I can say that It has not only changed my life, but saved It as well. Before I came here, I was on the verge of giving up. It wasn't that I was unhappy, but that I didn't feel challenged, or that | could be used for anything. I really started to feel depressed ^ about living. I knew that the System wasn't the thing to turn to, so I figured the only way out was up. The problem was, when I was discouraged, I wouldn't turn to the Word. Even though I had been told all my life that the Word was the answer, I never really understood what that meant. Since I came here I've really felt challenged 4 loved, 4 It really broke my heart 4 made me so thankful for you, when I saw how much you put Into this for us teens, 4 how much faith you have In us. It really makes me want to fight 4 not quit. I really don't want to fall you or the Lord. GBY, IRLYSSM. From one of your little soldiers.

Suzy-16—One thing that the class on "Worldllness" helped me to realize Is that anything that you put before the Lord can be an Jdol. One of my Idols Is clothes, maybe I don't have all the fashions but I really

care about them. What Auntie Sherry shared about when she realized that she had some clothes that made her get her eyes on herself, she knew It^was time to get rid of them. That's what I'm gonna do when I get home, go through^ my clothes & have a revolution. If He's worth serving at all, He's worth serving alI the way. I don't want these clothes 4 weights that are slowtng me down frcm serving the Lord. I want to lay them aside 4 run full speed. Each class we have I feel something getting puI led out 4 ft feels so wonderful. I can feel my life

324

changing. It s so Inspiring. I'm really super thankful to be here. TYL!

John-16—Real ly a smash-those-Idols day. A lot of mine got smashed, especially skateboards, slangs, suntans, mirror sun glasses, System music, cool clothes 4 acting I Ike scmeone I saw on a video. But TTL now | know who the Enemy Is 4 he's exposed 4 | have to attack, attack, ATTACK.

Rlchard-13—The class really convicted TB because I have a problem witn worldllness, but now that the Devil has been exposed I can really fight him. I usually really worry about how I look, ^but that class really showed that It doesn't matter, because God looketh on the heart.

Andrew-11—I learned that break dancing Is really bad. I used to think It was really cool, but when I heard what Grandpa had to say about It, It really shock me up.

Suzy-16-| really learned a lesson on praying about what you wear before you wear It. Today I was gonna wear black stockings, but then Auntie Marie pointed out that It just draws attention 4 Is unnecessary here, At fjrst, I got a little offended, because I wasn't trying to get people to lock at me, etc. But I remembered yesterday I was looking through "Taking Correction—Don%t Justify Yourself" 4 It was really a good check for me because I was tempted to justify myself, so I learned to just take correction.

REACTIONS TO 10 CKY EXTENTION TO TTCl John-16—It just flipped me out when we

found out that the TTC ts extended to the 14th, TTL. WOW! I could have been hit with a ton of bricks 4 not have felt It, I was so happy.

DIanond-15—Oh, thank you so much for the extra 10 days. It's one of the most wonderful surprises I ever got. FTL!

GENERA. TEEN REACTIONS Tina (17)—I really enjoy danctng

nights. I tried sharing the Word 4 lessons J It really worked. It was almost hard to step talking.

Shawn (13)—I really liked 4 got Inspired frcm the wonderful prayer meeting. I really felt the Lord's presence when I j were praying for the different things. I know that there Is great power In united . prayer together, so I know the Lord Is going . to answer our prayers because we be 11 eve ttl

REACTION TO FW-*OWS j Joy ( I D — I really learned a good {

lesson today 4 I shared It at pow-wow. I had c this Idea or Impression that when I ca» S here that If I made a drastic change withmf

conversation, then a l l the boys that I knew super well A were very famil iar with would think that | was sane kind of a "sp i r i tua l person". I t was kind of a fear I had A I t was real ly hard for me t o get Into a more deep conversation A sharing lessons, e t c . , so ! never rea l ly talked about the lessons I was learning or anything past shallow waters. But then today one of the boys that I know real wefI came up t o me & asked hew I was A I said "Just f i n e , " A he said, "What's fine?"—I said, "Normal." He said, "What do you "Ban normal, aren ' t you learning any lessons?" I t was rea l ly shocking for me A I said, yes, of course, A started ta lk ing . I t was a real victory for me to see that one person making the f i r s t step rea l ly gets the other person t o open up. TYJl

Suzy (16)—It rea l l y hurt , but I t hurt so good! I real ly rea l ise what a problem I do have with man-pleasing A not being open A honest but rather f ea r fu l , A how I t real ly was hindering my walk with the Lord. I want to walk out of th is teen camp knowing that the Lord's working In my l i f e . I know I t ' s a real blessing to get correction because I t means you're growing.

ADULT REACTI0NS1 Zattu (DAS, visitor)—Today must have

been one of my most emotional days In years. I'm usually very unemotional A have a hard time breaking A cry ing, but I t started th i s morning In Inspiration as I couldn't hold back my tears A l i t e r a l l y cried through every song—It was so moving A convicting. "Where have I been a l l these years?" I t was like cemfng home again.

REACTIONS TO "WE ARE IT! " Luke (babe)—Today's class made me

realise, TYJ, that I have to become a loyal, obedient soldier In th i s Endtlme war of the Spirit. Our cause—to bring t o others Jesus' Love—Is the greatest cause In the world, so I must rea l ly submit t o Jesus, David, A the Family (Army), for without Htm A ttie Family I can do nothing. I had, In my heart, been fighting a l l the war vocabulary, A d idn ' t like to be thought of as an obedient soldier (major System hangover). Yet now I see that yielding to a t ru l y loving leader who directs us In a righteous cause is the best way to do f t . — I ' v e seen a l l too many times km my Individual attempts at doing anything always f a l l . For the f i r s t time I rea l ly enjoyed singing our marching song (Batt le Hymn of the Rev.) A understood the words In anew way. My real problem wasn't semantics W terminology, but rather a l ingering spirit of Individualism—I couldn' t get Into

being a sold ier . Now, | can! Shawn (13)—I real ly got Inspired A

turned on frcm the "We Are I t ! " c lassl I t rea l ly made me thankful for the Family A tor Grandpa A th i s Revolution, because I t Is a pr iv i lege to be In th is Famtly. I want t o be real ly dedicated to the Lord A th is Army of Love. I want t o j us t f i gh t for the Lord A win souls for Him.

Nat (14)—"We Are I t ! " was the best class I think yet! I t was t h r i l l i n g , I j u s t f e l t l i ke going out witnessing A t e l l i n g everyone about the Rev. for Jesus!

REACTIONS TO 'PRAYER FOR SARA" A TITER'S CHALLENGE TO THE TEENS"

Shawn (13)— I learned that I need t o be here to serve the Lord with a l I my heart A not j us t r ide on my parents' fa i th A love for the Lord, but I want to have a real Intimate love A relationship with the Lord. Because He won't force ne to be t o t a l l y dedicated but I t w i l l I Imlt how much itva Lord can use me I f I don't give my a l l .

Lamont (16)—When I read 'Prayer for Sara" before, I j u s t thought of I t as adults being too hard on teens A I d idn ' t rea l l y apply I t to myself. Today I saw how gu i l t y I was of being too hard on kids that were younger than me.

Joy (11)—Wow! I t real ly gave me the vision of rea l ly giving our a l l even I f our overseers aren ' t there, but j u s t doing the r igh t things because we love Jesus A want t o please Mm! G8Y! XD!

Suzy (16)—Before I came here, I d idn ' t rea l ly have a hunger for the Word, I only read I t because I knew I was supposed t o . But since I 've oome here, I'm rea l l y real is ing how much I rea l ly do need the Word A how I can' t l i ve without f t ! TYL!

El iza (12)—I think what rea l ly h i t ne Is that we need to obey because we love Jesus A we want t o please Hfm A do what's r i gh t . Because I want to change A get r i gh t with the Lord, not because I 'm with my

overseer or I don't want a demerit. Jesus sees every little thing—a murmur, a disobedience. It gives me a healthy fearl Also really asking the Lord for a change 4 desiring correction not for fun, but because I want to be completely dedicated. I need to want to ftght 4 decide to love 4 serve Jesus 110$!!

Miguel (11)—Peter's Talk to the Teens real ly made me want to be here 110$ for the Lord 4 just for Hfm. It also made me very thankful for my parents 4 shepherds that disciplined me, because If I had never been disciplined, I probably wouldn't have been here. If you disobey your shepherds you are disobeying ttie Lord, 4 when your shepherds correct you It's the Lord correcting you. TTL It was a very good class.

REACTIONS TO 'TAXING CORRECTION" Luke (babe, 21)—Today's class made me

had trouble receiving correction, but the afternoon class made ITB realise I'm going to have to go on the attack against this problem. Also, I really have to learn self-dlsclpllne, especially considering the relative "freedom" | have compared to the teens. I often find myself kind of slldtng around seme of the rules, being late, etc. I may not be getting on the demerit chart, but I'm not being faithful In the little things 4 this Is not pleasing God.

Shawn (13)—Taking correction Is scmethlnq I often have a hard time doing, because I try to hang on to a mlnor technfcal detail that the person who Is correcting me gets a little wrong 4 therefore I resist the correction, thinking that he Is wrong, 4 I miss the whole lesson. Because of this weakness, In the past 1 have missed a lot of Important 4 valuable lessons because I didn't want to admit to myself that I was wrong. Although sometimes I may say "yes, sir" 4 act like I'm receiving, really In my heart I am resenting It 4 I often hold a grudge against a person because I feel that he Is just picking on me 4 getting on my case, but I know that's not the right attitude to have.—Because they real ly are just trying to help me 4 teach me 4 I see that my future service for the Lord greatly depends on how I learn these lessons.

REACTIONS TO "A.ICE 4 THE MA3IC GARDEN" John (16)— It was really humbling

having to get up 4 apologise 4 even more so even confront those people I had done wrong to. But It felt so good afterwards 4 I felt totally stripped like now everyone knew where I was at, that I wasn't a holy perfect

teen but I was a dirty filthy sinner who actually used some people to get Information for me. Having to go 4 face them I felt was almost too much to bear. I bel leve the Lord gave me super grace to do It. But TG, It smashed my pride 4 got myself out of the way, 4 now I'm nobody 4 I can begin a ne* man for Christ. TYL.

Joy (11)-—It was kind of a trial for me In this morning's class when Uncle Ado told everyone to just apologise to anyone they had wronged or hurt, 4 I was thinking— how am I going to go up to them 4 apologise? It was kind of a trial for me 4 I Just felt like I couldn't do It, so I just had to pray real quick that I could be real open 4 honest with everyone. So TTL He real ly just did It 4 It broke my wal Is 4 my pride of people thinking I was good. Hal!

GENERA. TEEN REACTIONS El lzah-12—I feel so free 4 happy, no

more guilt. I don't think I've ever prayed so hard 4 even wanted to change so bad! It's so exciting! I feel like a new creature In Jesus! But I know It's only the beginning, we have to f111 up our empty space now.

John-16—At first I thought all we were going to do Is get lectures about what we should do 4 that. So I was really shocked how much love was In It. I could really tell It was here 4 the way Uncle Joseph explained to us about no sharing was so loving. GBj Grandpa & Mama for having so much faith for us. Also when they all said they were nervous, It really helped me 'cause I was personally real nervous. TYJ for the Family!

^ Rachel-14—The Letter "7 Ways to Know God's WIN" was so convicting on how to know the Lord's will, something that I have never real ly done before.—Locking to the Word for where to go or what to do, LHM' This class

really helped me to understand how to -fry the different burdens I have to see If they are of the Lord with the right motives. I have been reading today a lot of things that had to do with my motives In my service for the Lord being the right ones 4 not just my own personal desires of what I want. I know this Is something the Lord has been trying to teach me, for my motive to be just for the Lord 4 His work, then my personal desires wllI please Him.

Mlguel-11—The Devil was really fighting me, saying that my Interview wasn t gol ng to be good enough, but the Lord showed me that It s just a I le 4 that It dldnt matter how It was because Grandpa loves us so much that he doesn't look on the outward appearance, but on the heart.

Marie Clare-14—The morning class real ly showed me how Important I t Is t o be honest 4 how f t can make a whole relat ionship bet ter . With my mem, I always was angry with her for not understanding me but I never real Ized tha t I t was because we had never been honest before. But In today's class the Lord helped me t o apply f t t o my own I f f e 4 see exactly what the problem was between me & my nan.

Wfndy-14-—Today when Ado shared his lesson about not holding bltterness^In your heart, I rea l l y real ized how much I 'd been I Ike that 4 how they real ly are roots that tear down 4 destroy. I also f e l t rea l ly bad about the adults who shared about how they held grudges agafnst the teens, because I know that I cer ta in ly haven't made I t easy for them t o be good & we a 11 were a pretty bad sample 4 hard to handle, but I'm rea l ly thankful that we can learn a l l these lessons now.

Rachel-14—This TTC was such an unforgettable time fn my I f fe A I t was so beautiful t o see Grandpa 4 Mar fa's love for

us. Most of al I , f t was so wonderful j u s t t o 98+ close t o Jesus 4 learn a love for Hfm 4 the Word. TYJI

Benjamfn-14—Love fs so Important. I'm

so happy that I can learn so much about love, cause tha t ' s the thing I want t o do the most when I go heme, to love. Being loving covers so many things that I t becomes so Important. I t ' s l ike pride Is the^DevM's most powerful weapon but love Is God s most powerful weapon, class today was a v ic tory t o me 4 my vision about going heme fs gett ing more clear, | \n getting the burden t o go home 4 show a sample, not a sermon. Every day Is gett ing better In that area.

Mfguel-11 — I had a t r f a l about having t o wr i te my^declslons 4 was very nervous that I wouldn't make the r igh t decision, but the Lord brought back to my remembrance what Uncle Ado said , that I f your motives are r i g h t then every thing wf 11 be OK, so tha t gave me the v ictory.

JeweM3—ILYSM, I've had v ic tor ies that I never dreamed I could get. Your simple sample has real Iy made a difference fn my I f fe 4 made me have something to I fve for 4 dte fo r . Seme of my mafn lessons have been with a prayer l i f e with the Lord 4 a hunger for the Word 4 real ly hayfng the Lord's love, not my own, but God's love towards people 4 receiving correction 4 respecting your elders. When Auntie Maggie 4 Auntie Leah to ld my RS^that I was being unloving at f i r s t I d idn ' t receive I t so the Lord had t o knock rre down with asthma 4 put me down a few pegs, but I want t o thank you wfth my whole heart for correcting me or else I would never have learned the lesson.

FOUNDATIONS FOR T>€ FIRST TINE Michael f; Musician—Observations

of Teen Camp: One thing that came to me Is , tha t these kids are getting the foundations for the 1st time in their l ives. A lot of them have been exposed t o the System a lo t , gone t o System schools, got Into too much freedom after the RNR, etc . I t was possible for the adults to "spring back" by the Word Revolution 4 a reminder t o "get back t o the basics", but a lot of these kids never knew what the basics were, as they didn t have the consistent training that we had when we jo ined. So they would see the adults get certain pr iv i leges, but use them or look t o them as a oonstant source of inspi rat ion, instead of merely a means to relax for an evening or t o unwind I Ike the adults. So t h i s TTC, DV, Is going to plug them Into the real source of inspiration so they can have a proper perspective In their appetites 4 desires, not looking to videos 4 going out, e t c . as the things to look forward t o t o keep Inspired, but merely as a break before diving back Into what they know they need t o be doing for the LordI
