**The Malachi Season**
"So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.”
“So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,”
John 20:4-6
It was here that upon hearing news of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, both Peter and John frantically raced to see for themselves.
However there is another story within the story.
It was John the younger of the two that outraced Peter to the tomb. But upon reaching the tomb he became paralyzed-unsure what to do, so he just stood there.
As Peter arrived to the entrance of the tomb he promptly stepped inside.
You see it was John typifying the younger generation that out ran the older but when he encountered the shock of the empty tomb he quickly froze.
It was then that Peter with the experience that only age and relationship can foster said "come on-let's go inside..."
You see we are entering a season when there must be a divine partnering of the younger generation with the older generation.
Any church that consists of only the older generation may have years of experience and knowledge but they will lack the necessary stamina to advance the kingdom.
Likewise any church that consists of only the younger generation will thrive on stamina but falter without the depth of solid doctrine, experience and wisdom.
It is time that the older embrace the younger and the younger embrace the older.
It's time to understand that these two generations may not look the same, they may not talk the same but they are called to a partnership of battle.
It's time that the 'old Saints' stop discounting and begin to teach this younger generation how to tarry, how to fast, how to cast out Devils, how to pray through.
It is time that the older generation stop rejecting this generation of the millennium and understand that they are called to mentor them.
For if true revival is going to sweep the land, it will require the strength of the youth to carry the flame. And it will necessitate that the two work together.
We need the wisdom of the older generation to partner with the unbridled strength of this young generation and take enemy held territory!
It's time like Malachi declares:
“And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.”
Malachi 4:6
