(Updated Oct 2023) Saved from the Attack of the Bad Little Kids (Screaming, etc)

By Yen Yen

It's been quite a while, at the back of our shophouse, a bunch of bad little kids (aged 5-7 years) often did things that harmed us.

They often threw stones into our shophouse and at the roof of our house and often screamed in the front of the folding gate. My worker and I had scolded them but they always did again.

Aug, 2023, while I was sitting at the back of our house to get some fresh air, a bad kid started peeking inside our house through the folding gate that was narrowly opened in the middle.

Then, the HOLY SPIRIT (=JESUS’ SPIRIT) moved me to speak in tongues and I heard them start screaming and banging the folding gate, getting louder and louder.

I kept praying in tongue and murmured the Word of GOD as written in Acts 18:10a “For I AM with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you”.

Suddenly, out of my thoughts, my worker came down from the third floor, scolded them and reported a few of them to their parents whom she could meet, so that they ran away and a few of them were beaten by their parents. 

Then, the small street at the back of our house became silent in the afternoon and the next day, those few kids were dodged as soon as they bump into my worker and me on the street. 

So far, though sometimes they still played the soccer on the small street at the back of our house with noise, but they didn't scream and throw stones into our house/at the roof of our house again, even the street is mostly silent now. Thanks a lot, ABBA JESUS!

(Updated) Oct 2023, a bad little kid, who asked some kids to throw stones, has become a good kid also the others, only the two ones have become worse.

That afternoon, the “worse” one played firecrackers at the back of our house and another one wanted to throw an unused fluorescent lamp with length about 120 cm, which was found in a pile of junk, into our house.

But, as the fluorescent lamp was long, he had difficulty putting it through the middle side of the folding gate, which was narrowly opened, and I immediately asked my worker, who was standing near the folding gates, to fully close both of them, so the kids could not harm us.

Thanks a lot ABBA JESUS to protect us again and again! I could not imagine, what would happened if he could throw the lamp into our house. 

Last year, the “worse” one ever repeatedly lighted a match and threw it carelessly while walking along the small street at the back of our house, and Thanks ABBA JESUS, at the right place and right time, I saw it from the window upstairs and immediately asked my worker to stop and drove him away.

As we need ventilation and fresh air, currently the middle side of the folding gate is only opened before they are back from school.

I know, they could be back again, but I also know:

“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still~ Exodus 14:15”.

 “Whoever believes in HIM will not be put to shame.” ~ Rom 10:11 NASB

“For I AM with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you” ~ Acts 18:10a

JESUS (=ALEPH TAV) is the SABBATH (=REST)

Remember (ALEPH TAV) the day of Sabbath... Exodus 20:8

Therefore YAHWEH blessed the (ALEPH TAV) Sabbath day, and made it holy. Exodus 20:11b WEB

You shall keep (ALEPH TAV) the Sabbath,... Exodus 31:14

...the peace (=eirēnē, REST) of GOD, which surpasses every thought, will guard (=phrourēsei, protected from attack) your hearts and minds in CHRIST JESUS. ~ Phil 4:7 HCSB

For we who BELIEVE(=have faith in) [that is, we who personally trust and confidently rely on God] enter that REST [so we have HIS inner peace now because we are confident in our salvation, and assured of HIS power] ~ Hebrews 4:3a AMP

Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they *woke Him and *said to Him, “Teacher, do YOU not care that we are perishing? ... And HE said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith(=rest)?” ~ Mark 4:38,40 NASB1995

Faith is not work, faith is a rest.
