Tonight I wanted to go to hang out with my friends. I was fine with staying home but it wasn't what i desired. Mom and Dad had home group so I, being the youngest of the top four, inevitably stayed home. I was kind of in a funk and didn't know why. Now I know it was an attempt of Satan, trying to get me away and not to be with my sister so that the Kingdom of God would advance Good for me and Glory Belle, Jesus has so much more power than the devil!
I laid on the ground, worn out and tired not wanting to move. With the TV on I didn't think anything else needed to happen since my sisters seemed satisfied as their brains continued to melt away. Then the show ended, for a split second a thought entered into my head of me and my sisters having a Bible study and doing something proactive. Then quickly, the thought fled. Then Grace (who isn't afraid of speaking up unlike her big sis) said we should have a prayer meeting. I politely agreed and asked Mercy what she thought. Her response was, "That would be my 2nd prayer meeting today.. No wait, 3rd..."
Anyways eventually we got on subject and Grace asked us what she could pray for us for. Youngest to oldest. Glory Belle seemed a bit unsure. I tried to help her and talked about being saved which led to about a half an hour discussion/questions about Christianity and Jesus. I felt annointed and graced with the words to speak.
We had her get in the middle and prayed for her and then the meeting kind of broke up. I prayed again for her shoulder, then we came back in the room and talked some more then she decided she wanted to get saved. I was thrilled and yet somehow a little bit nervous. I had Grace and Mercy leave and I had her repeat after me and ask the Lord Jesus to come into her heart. Then she asked how she knew she was now saved, I quickly texted Dad and asked where a verse was and eventually looked up Romans 10:9,10. "Whoever confesses with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believes in their heart that God raised Him from the dead will be saved." She had me read it about ten times. She told me later that when we were praying she felt something come into her heart and she could still feel it. I asked her if she knew what that was and she said, "Yeah, Jesus came into my heart."
Praise God!
Faith, this is great, you need to keep writing!!
