The Miracle of Obedience and a Saved Soul

My sister Alexandria (Ally) got saved last Sunday. I am so happy and so proud of her, and I encourage her to not look back. Last Sunday was amazing watching God move throughout the service.

To start it off, on Friday at service, I kept hearing wait till Sunday, wait till Sunday! Then Sunday came, and while we were waiting in the parking lot to go in for service, I felt that the choir should sing the melody that my aunties had written years ago. When the youth choir sings, Ally sings the part "Will you marry me, Jesus." Then, Apostle Check (Auntie Terah), said "It’s something in my spirit about 'Will you marry me, Jesus?'”

Service continued and Apostle Red (my father) brought forth a great message, and then it was time for testimony service. I was about the fifth person to testify, and to sum it up, I was explaining how I felt that the youth don't back me up, and don’t support the youth blog, because this blog is meant to help the youth. But God encouraged me through I.J. (a 16-year-old, who also recently got saved) who read and commented on the blog after his grandmother (Apostle Peterson) shared the link with him for the first time the other week. It meant a lot that someone younger was blessed and encouraged by the blog.

My sister, Ally, started crying, and Apostle Check asked her why is she crying, and she explained how she she could have supported me/the blog better, and Apostle Check continued to say to Ally that when she sang "Will you marry me, Jesus," God was speaking to her and he had his hand out toward Ally asking her instead to marry him (commit her life to him). Later, after service, Ally said yes to Jesus, and her expressing herself and responding to the Apostle about where she felt she was wrong helped opened the door for that moment.

Auntie Terah said God was dealing with her earlier in service about Ally and Jesus's proposal to her, but she was just going to tell her in private, however, the way everything went in service, she knew God wanted her to say it out loud.

I just wanted to tell that testimony because I watched God move, and watched him line things up in a certain order so a soul could be saved. What if we didn’t follow God? What if I didn’t testify? What if Apostle Check (Auntie Terah) didn’t follow what God was telling her to do? Obedience is key! We need to be obedient and be ready to be used by God!
