Salvation: God brings home one more!

It's been over two years since I began to pray for a specific teenager in this ministry and for God to bring salvation to this teen. 

Guess what? GOD DID! He did! Recently this teen accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and is now beginning a new life by living for Jesus. 

I would say that over the past year or so, I have seen a gradual but drastic change in this young persons life. 

When I first joined WGO, this young teenager and I had a bit of a head-on collision. I found this teen doing something that I thought was questionable, so I took it to leadership. There was confrontation and it was not pleasant. Let's just say that for about the next year, this teen didn't speak to me. So, I began to speak to God. Daily, almost, begging God to take away the evil that I was seeing in the heart and life of this teen.

Now, things are so different. One day, about a year or more ago, this teen began to come around toward me. I could tell things were still not the same in this formerly harden heart. My prayers continued. 

I remember specifically praying through one of the Psalms (one of the smaller numbered Psalms) but I can't remember which one now. I was praying for Satan to be cast out and way from tempting this person into believing the lies that we believe and the temptation we fall into.

I just know that God was working in this teens life from the moment of birth: calling, pursuing and tapping on the heart. Just in God's perfect timing, this now Child of God, turned over the old way of life and now lives for the life everlasting!

PRAISE GOD! Join me in prayer and praise for the salvation of one more. We now have one more to join us in eternity, for eternity Praise our glorious God and Savior for ever and ever!

PRAISE YOUR NAME JESUS!
