I want to share some wonderful news with you! If you remember I have been living with a grandmother (Granny Jenny) and her grandchild (Jenny Jane – 13 years old) for 4 months now. They graciously took me in. I have been praying for that time now that Jenny Jane may have a personal encounter with Jesus and that she would decide to give her life to Christ. Every Thursday, I am with her and 2 other teen girls for whom I am also praying. They all do not seem to have a relationship with Jesus yet.
Last weekend on Saturday, I went into Jenny Jane’s room to talk to her about something. All of a sudden she said that she did not know if she belonged to Jesus. I told her that if she prayed and gave her full heart to Jesus, HE would start living in it and she could be sure. She said: “Will you pray with me tonight then?”
I had had talks with her about it already but this time it seemed different. So later in the evening I asked her: “JJ, do you remember what we were talking about earlier?” –She nodded. “Do you want to pray now?”- “Yes, what can I pray for you Aunty Kerstin?” Then I explained to her that this prayer was a prayer she prayed and that it was the most important prayer that we could ever pray. I asked her if she believed in God and in Jesus and in the Holy Spirit, if she believed that Jesus died for all her sins and that HE rose again to give her life in the full …and if she believed and wanted Jesus as her CENTER....all those wonderful things. She exclaimed YES after every question and concluded that the raising from the dead must have been a very freaky site but that she chose to believe it (GRIN) and then she came to me and I led her into the most important and beautiful prayer. It was Saturday the 26th around 11pm.
After we had sad AMEN, I hugged her and welcomed her into God’s family by giving her a really beautiful journal. I explained her about journaling and will do so more and more. She was soooo blessed and honored and then I told her that a lot of people had prayed for her! Man, she felt so special and YES, that is the reality: SHE IS SPECIAL – JENNY JANE LEWIS, A CHILD OF GOD, A PRINCESS!!!!
Now if you feel led, please join me in prayer for Jenny Jane as it is important for her to udnerstand key things in her new found faith. May God protect her and may HE help her to walk this path!!!
