Neighborhood Protection Through Prayer

There was an interesting incident one night last week. In the dark, a young man came running up my next-door neighbor’s driveway, aiming for her garage, followed by the police. He tripped over her lawnmower, then hopped over the fence into my backyard, where the police tackled him. They said he had been committing robberies and they were happy to have caught him.

The first thought that came to me was, “I have to do better protective work for my neighborhood!” I talked to practitioner, and she said, “It was your right thinking that tripped him up!” Then I was able to stop blaming myself and get back to work.

The only reason anyone can come into our neighborhood—or into anyone’s neighborhood—is to bless, and to be blessed. He was certainly blessed because he now has an opportunity to turn his life around. As practitioner said, “God provides everything we need, and no one can want what someone else has.”

God really does supply every need for all His children. And this guy just learned this truth, whether he recognizes it yet or not. It’s in him, planted like a seed, and it will continue to grow and bless him immensely!
