Welcome a New Little Brother in the Kingdom!!!!!

I am so spiritually and emotionally exhausted, but I had to write about this. I went to the projects today to pick up one of my students to bring him to bible study at the World Impact Church (because I go to the church, I can get away with picking up the kid because I do not affiliate myself with the school and I am acting as a church member). This specific child has been having problems acting crazy in school for a while (calling girls ***** and the like). In addition, I have suspected for some time now that he is being attacked by demons.

When the child and I got to the church, we played football for a while. He was so sweet and told me how I should be throwing and catching the ball correctly. He played with the other children there but he never went too far from my side. I went to the children's bible study so I could be with him, and so that I could help out if needed (I met a couple of really cool people my age who were also helping). At the beginning of the class, the teacher asked the students if any of them had not asked Jesus to come into their hearts. My child raised his hand. Another helper and I took the three kids who had raised their hands outside to talk with them about Jesus. After we all talked in a group. I asked if I could take my child aside separately as he appeared to be the most interested in asking Jesus to be in his heart.

I asked him if I could cast demons off him and his home (I explained to him what that was), and he said yes. After I cast the demons out, he asked Jesus to forgive him of his sins (he listed specific sins he had committed in the past. Then I prayed that Jesus would come into his heart. I explained to him that accepting Jesus allows you to be a new person in Him. I also told him that unlike his father (who left when he was little), Jesus will never leave his heart. After we prayed I asked him how he felt. He said, "I feel like I'm gonna cry." He said it was a happy kind of crying. When I asked him why he was happy, he said, "I don't know, I'm just happy."

Please be praying for this child that he grows in his knowledge about and love for the Lord. Please also pray that Jesus would use me to help this child grow in his faith and discipleship. I love this child and I would like nothing more than to see my little brother in heaven one day. If you would like to know the child's name so you can specifically pray for him, please just call or text and I will tell you (I want to keep all children's names confidential in my blog)

Peace out!
