Prayer Needed for New Neighbor
When Mrs. De La Croix moved out of the building, (she lived five doors down from me and usually smelled of wine), I heard the Lord whisper that I should be praying for the person or persons moving in because they "might be trouble." I immediately fell to my knees even though I was on 23rd Street at a busy time of day. The Lord expects obedience, you know.
Well, today I saw them moving in: a plain-looking, nondescript couple named the Johnsons (she is Joanna, He is Bertrand). I immediately asked them about their experience with the LORD but they wouldn't engage in any conversation about Jesus. One of the other neighbors came out to scope them - I mean, greet them - and I heard Bertrand say "I suppose you could describe us as proletarian." My jaw dropped. You see, we have a lot of Joos, Methodists, and a few Baptists in this building but even a search on JesOS failed to find a proletarian church nearby. I suspect they are part of a cult and will attempt to convert neighbors by the dozens.
In fact, Joanna Johnson mentioned a "floor get-together" so we could all get to know each other better. Well, I'm going and I'll be armed with tracts, my Bible, and a lot of Christian MP3's. More as this develops. I'm afraid our pleasant hamlet is going to turn into a place where people worship linoleum or worse. No wonder GOD told me to pray. Won't you join my petitions to Jesus?
As for me and my house, I will serve the LORD. Glory!
