A Little Child Shall Lead Them

It’s amazing what God will do if we just tell someone about what Jesus did for us all and His Kingdom. I have been telling a woman about the authority of Jesus name and Kingdom for almost 1 year now. This woman’s little girl had her first communion on May 6, 2006. Before that date, I began praying and asking others to pray that she would also receive the Holy Spirit on that day.

The day came for her to take her first communion and then afterwards the family had a party. At the party, I noticed that all of the children were talking about God much more than usual. They were drawing pictures and talking about His greatness and His resurrection. The little girl was walking around with a little teddy bear that sang “Jesus Loves Me” when you pressed its hand. She would force the adults to listen to this song over and over again.

Well, as the parents were carrying on at the party, the son asked me to help him get a paper airplane out of the tree. When I went outside, I began to try but was not successful. I told the son to pray and ask God to help us. He began to pray and soon the little girl and her friend came outside and they too began to pray. We were praying for a huge wind to blow through. Then, the children began singing praises to God. One little girl began singing “Father We Adore You”. As we continued, the woman's son said “This is not about the paper airplane; it’s about something else”. The girls then added, “We are making God happy.” Then the little girl ran and got her Bible and told me to read from it. When she got her bible, I remembered the story about the first Pentecost when the mighty rushing wind blew threw the upper room. At that moment, I realized we were also praying for a great wind to blow through our land. It’s amazing how God gets us to pray for things and we are not even aware of what it’s all about.

Two neighbors came out of their house to see what was going on because I am sure everyone could hear us praising God. They stood and look and I shouted “Praise the Lord” and they said “Amen”. After they went back in, I told the girls that I wanted to go alone and talk to those women but the two girls insisted on going with me. They then told me what we were going to do when the neighbors opened the door. We were to play the little teddy bear that sang “Jesus Loves Me” and the little girl would read her little prayer which was a profession of her Faith in Jesus and a request that she would always follow God obediently.

The women listened approvingly as the little girl verbally made her commitment to follow Jesus. They then blessed her. After that, the little girl became very determined that we should go to other homes and tell them about Jesus. We went to several homes and told about Jesus’ love. I became tired after awhile but the little girl insisted on going to two more homes. She said, “We must go to my parents and tell them”. So, we did.

It was an amazing day. Words cannot describe everything that took place that day. However, I can say one thing, it was definitely a work of the Holy Spirit and God showed up that day for this little girl's first communion party.
