I went to granada park today and I saw some hispanic kids playing at the park. I was just fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit when I felt led to go pray for 1 of the 3 kids. At first, I was reluctant to approach them because I was unsure of what I was going to pray for them about but I eventually gathered enought courage to introduce myself. I prayed for this kid called Andrew and while praying for him, his little 9 year old cousin came over and started asking, “What happened? What happened?” I told him I was praying for him and I asked him if he would like for me to pray for him too. He’s so cute. He said yes and I prayed for this little boy called Philip and prayed that he would be stirred up with hunger for God and he would become a mighty evangelist. After I prayed he just ran off like nothing happened but its that “yes” that, I believe, stirred something up in God’s heart. I believe these kids will be used mightly by God.

Later, I came to this group of people that were rehearsing for this impromptu comedic show. I just felt like I need to pray for these people but there were like 10 people and I don’t think I can handle 10 people by myself. While I was wrestling with my thoughts and trying to obey God, most of the people left which left me with two of these group of people. I went up to this girl with bleached green hair and nose ring and a guy wearing a nirvana t-shirt. Kind of intimidating by my standards. It was an awkward introduction but I began sharing about God and Jesus. They were awesome listeners but they were very very New Age. They believed in God, higher power and the teachings of christianity, but they don’t believe that Jesus was the son of God and that he died on the cross for our sins. They believed in God, spiritual stuff, and that Jesus was real, but not as our savior. I talked about my stand in christianity, they talked about their views, I prayed for the girl Nora, I got their cell phone numbers and I left. As I walked away, I just feel that, wow, Jesus. Its all about Jesus. I really hope they get true revelation and knowledge of who Jesus is, and not some twisted view of the truth that sounds good, but false and misleading. Satan can take the Word and twist it so it sounds nice, happy, and peaceful but at the same time, lead you away from the Truth, the Way and the Light. These people MAY have a ‘good’ life, but in the end, it doesn’t matter how benevolent you are, how good you treat your brothers, or whatever, if you don’t accept Jesus as your savior, its death. Jesus, I pray your grace and mercy over Ricky and Nora. Send a personal revival in their life. Amen. In the end, Ricky said something that made me kind of helpless. He said, “We’re all just looking for the truth.” Ha. Reminded me of this sermon Jack was speaking about. Yes, we are. But the truth is right in front of you but you choose to not accept it. Ricky actually was a christian, and Nora a catholic. Both fell away from God because they were confronted with the spirit of Religion. I think people who don’t know anything about Jesus are more willing to accept Him than those people who knew Jesus but fell away. They don’t have all that religious baggage to get rid of and deal with. Sigh. Pray for Ricky and Nora.
