• 0:00
  Have you ever thought about what you want to be when you grow up?
• 0:03
  Some kids want to be doctors. Others want to be firemen or
• 0:07
  police officers. But what about right now?
• 0:10
  Today, while you're still a kid? What kind of a person do you
• 0:14
  want to be? God put his nature inside of us.
• 0:18
  That means that he gives us the desire to help other people.
• 0:22
  Enjoy our story? If I want to be a hero, do I
• 0:29
  have to wear a Cape? Do I have to fly high in the sky
• 0:33
  or get captured and escape? Do I have to hunt for bad guys
• 0:38
  and take them straight to jail? Is there something else that
• 0:41
  heroes do that I could do as well?
• 0:45
  I want to be a hero so that I could save the world.
• 0:49
  I want to be a hero that helps every boy and girl.
• 0:53
  Whenever there's trouble, I want to save the day.
• 0:57
  Whenever there's a problem, I want to like the way.
• 1:01
  Would that make me a hero, 'cause that's what I want to be.
• 1:05
  I want to be a hero and help others just like me.
• 1:09
  Whenever someone's lost, I would help them to get saved.
• 1:14
  Whenever someone's frightened, I would help them to be brave.
• 1:18
  Whenever someone falls behind, I would help pick up their pace.
• 1:23
  Whenever someone loses, I would help start a new.
• 1:27
  Race. Whenever someone has a need,
• 1:30
  I'll help to make their day. Whenever someone has a hurt,
• 1:34
  I'll help it go away. Whenever someone's crying, I'd
• 1:39
  help wipe away their tears. Whenever someone's all alone,
• 1:44
  I'd help chase away their fears. Whenever there's a bully, I
• 1:49
  would stand up for the week. Whenever someone's different, I
• 1:53
  would be the friend they seek. Whenever someone's sad, I would
• 1:57
  help to make them smile. Whenever there's a job to do,
• 2:02
  I'd go the extra mile. If you're sick, I will pray.
• 2:07
  If you're scared, I will stay. If you're hurt, I will care.
• 2:13
  If you're lost, I'll be there. When you play, I'll play too.
• 2:18
  When you cry, I'll cry with you. When you win, I'll be glad.
• 2:24
  When you lose, I'll be sad. Would that make me a hero?
• 2:28
  Because that's what I want to be.
• 2:31
  I'll get it done. I have God's son.
• 2:34
  He's. Living.
• 2:35
  Inside me. This story is about how people
• 2:41
  tend to act like those around them.
• 2:44
  It's called peer pressure. When we get around people who
• 2:47
  act bad, we can get pulled into acting bad too.
• 2:50
  That's why it's important to choose good friends.
• 2:53
  When you have Jesus living inside of you, you can choose,
• 2:56
  like the boy in our story, to put on your Superman.
• 2:59
  Ephesians 51 calls it acting like God.
• 3:03
  As Christians, we're supposed to put on our Superman every day.
• 3:07
  How? Just get up in the morning, talk
• 3:10
  to God, and decide you're going to act like him today.
• 3:14
  Hopefully it will become a habit that we call walking with God or
• 3:18
  walking in the Spirit, according to Galatians 524.
• 3:23
  Enjoy our story? One summer day, with the sun
• 3:30
  shining bright, Wildwater Park was a place for delight, with
• 3:34
  watery stream shooting up from the ground as Shiloh and Avi
• 3:38
  danced all around, just like many children playing that day,
• 3:42
  while mommies all watched a safe distance away.
• 3:47
  Then all of a sudden, from out of the blue, came a terrible
• 3:50
  screech. Oh, what should we?
• 3:55
  Do Shiloh and Avi knew the best place to be was right next to
• 3:59
  mommy, so they ran there quickly.
• 4:03
  The children and mommies were looking around to see who could
• 4:06
  make such a horrible sound. Two wild creatures burst out
• 4:11
  through the trees with a roar. In the ground.
• 4:14
  They ran like a breeze. They tipped over strollers and
• 4:18
  threw stuff in the air, Bottles and towels in an old teddy bear
• 4:23
  hobby, as Shiloh did. They escape from the zoo.
• 4:27
  Are they monsters or villains? What are they here to do?
• 4:32
  Shiloh kept watching and soon realized they're not monsters or
• 4:36
  villains. Obvi open your eyes.
• 4:39
  Look, they're just boys that behave really bad.
• 4:43
  They embarrass their mother and frustrate their dad.
• 4:48
  Shiloh and Obvi watched with Mom by their side as the bad acting
• 4:52
  boys made kids run and hide. They pushed a girl, knocking her
• 4:56
  to the ground and they just kept on running wildly around.
• 5:01
  No, excuse me, I'm sorry. I hope you're OK.
• 5:05
  Those are things only polite kids would say.
• 5:09
  Those bad acting boys acted bad as they could, splashing and
• 5:13
  splattering where anyone stood. Angry mommies searched to find
• 5:18
  who brought these two. Where's their parent?
• 5:21
  That tells them what good kids should do.
• 5:24
  While mommies kept watching, kids started to play.
• 5:27
  Shiloh and Abby also ventured away.
• 5:31
  And so while they played and tried to have fun, Shiloh kept
• 5:35
  watching those bad acting ones. And didn't something happen,
• 5:42
  Something not good? A thought came to Shiloh to act
• 5:46
  bad as he could. It popped in his head like a
• 5:50
  wild water spout. It popped up inside and it
• 5:53
  wouldn't go out. He started to think that those
• 5:56
  bad boys were cool, even though they were acting like they were
• 6:00
  fools. Shiloh thought was if he acted
• 6:04
  like them, there'd be a chance that they would like him, that
• 6:09
  he'd have more fun by behaving bad and no one would stop him.
• 6:14
  Not mom and not Dad. And as fast as he joined those
• 6:18
  bad acting boys, he was splashing small kids and taking
• 6:22
  their toys. So Avi ran, yelling.
• 6:26
  Mommy, come quick. Something's wrong with Shiloh.
• 6:29
  He might be sick. He's acting real crazy, like
• 6:33
  he's full of hate. Quick Mommy, do something before
• 6:37
  it's too late. And so Mommy changed right
• 6:41
  before Avi's eyes, Super Mom stood up, much to Avi surprise,
• 6:48
  and music from heaven started to play.
• 6:51
  Or was it moms? iPhone, I can't really say.
• 6:54
  But all through the park, praise music was heard.
• 6:57
  Praise steals the enemy and our hearts are stirred.
• 7:02
  It made Mommy stronger than often a dash with her.
• 7:05
  Fiery red hair. Blazing streaks like a flash,
• 7:09
  she stopped in an instant, looking at Shiloh without even
• 7:13
  thinking. Just like a hero.
• 7:15
  She pointed at Shiloh. Shiloh, stop.
• 7:17
  She did say. You're not a wild creature.
• 7:20
  You stop acting that way. Jesus lives in you and he makes
• 7:23
  you strong. You have self-control.
• 7:26
  You don't have to act wrong. And right in that instant,
• 7:30
  Shiloh started to smile as he quickly remembered that he was
• 7:34
  God's child and the fruit of the Spirit.
• 7:37
  It started to flow like Lovejoy and Peace.
• 7:40
  All the good stuff, you know. Mom, you look pretty.
• 7:44
  Shiloh said, full of cheer, and Avi was smiling as she proudly
• 7:48
  stood near. Shiloh.
• 7:50
  Said Mommy. Don't ever forget you are gentle
• 7:53
  and kind and you're obedient even when I'm not near.
• 7:56
  You just have to be strong, keep doing things right and don't do
• 8:00
  things wrong. Be the hero that God wants you
• 8:03
  to be. You can be super too,
• 8:06
  definitely. And then Super Shiloh burst into
• 8:09
  view. He returned all the toys and
• 8:12
  apologized too. And he started acting like he
• 8:15
  knew he should. Acting like Jesus, always doing
• 8:19
  good. Now he prays for others wherever
• 8:23
  they go. And thoughts to act bad.
• 8:26
  Well, he just says no. I have the subject in view.
• 8:45
  Move in Agent J. Move in Mr. Smith.
• 8:51
  Oh, yes. Mr. Smith, I am a CIA agent.
• 8:55
  Christians in action. With your permission, I would
• 8:57
  like to pray for you. Sure, go ahead.
• 9:01
  I'll do anything to get rid of this cough.
• 9:04
  I declare that Mr. Smith is healed by Jesus stripes and he
• 9:08
  lives in divine health in Jesus name.
• 9:12
  Wow, I feel better. Mission accomplished.
• 9:16
  The subject has received his healing.
• 9:19
  Good work, Julie. Stand down and await your next
• 9:21
  mission. 10-4, Commander. Oh, Julie, thanks for praying
• 9:27
  for me. Just doing my job, Mr. Smith.
• 9:29
  Glad I could be of service. What exactly is your job, Julie?
• 9:34
  I mean, I've known you your whole life.
• 9:36
  You live next door to me. You've grown up in church, but
• 9:39
  what's with the sunglasses and walkie-talkie and all the
• 9:42
  ghetto? It's standard CIA issued gear.
• 9:45
  And what's this CIA business about?
• 9:48
  It's a club I started with my friend Kyle.
• 9:51
  We call it Christians in Action. We're doing the works of Jesus
• 9:55
  like John 1412 says. You know, like laying hands on
• 9:59
  the six so that they can get well.
• 10:01
  Well, that beats spending all your time playing video games.
• 10:05
  Yes, Sir. So how did you know I was
• 10:08
  fighting a cough? I saw you coughing, so I filed a
• 10:11
  report with Agent Kate. Oh, Kyle.
• 10:14
  Well, tell Kyle thanks. You don't mind me asking, what
• 10:20
  other cases have you worked on? Well, I prayed for my little
• 10:23
  brother last night at bedtime. He's been having nightmares
• 10:26
  lately. And how did he sleep last night?
• 10:29
  Fine, He didn't wake up crying at all.
• 10:32
  Agent J, do you read me? Come in, Agent J.
• 10:36
  Agent J That's me. J is short for Truly I.
• 10:40
  Figured that. Go ahead, Kyle.
• 10:42
  I mean agent. K, Agent J, your mom called.
• 10:45
  She needs you at home. Oh no, I don't want to go home
• 10:49
  yet. Get a hold of yourself, Agent J.
• 10:53
  May I remind you of Ephesians 6. One children, obey your parents
• 10:57
  in the Lord. I'm sorry.
• 10:59
  Our Agent K mission accepted. I'll report in when Target is in
• 11:03
  view. Over and out.
• 11:04
  I have to go, Mr. Smith. I have another mission.
• 11:08
  Get to it, Agent J, and keep up the good work.
• 11:13
  Jesus said in John chapter 14, verses 12 through 14 that those
• 11:17
  who believe in Jesus would do the same works that he did by
• 11:21
  doing them in Jesus name as his representative.
• 11:24
  If we ask anything in Jesus name, he will do it so that
• 11:28
  people will be blessed and God will be glorified.
• 11:32
  So when we pray, let's believe that God will answer.
• 11:48
  OK, Cindy, Lou, let's sit down here for a minute.
• 11:53
  Excuse me, Mr., What you doing? I'm reading the.
• 11:59
  Paper little girl. My name is not little Girl.
• 12:02
  Oh really? My mommy calls me Cindy Lou, but
• 12:06
  that's not my real name. That's nice.
• 12:10
  Don't you want to know my really real name?
• 12:14
  Oh, oh, all right. My really real name is Cynthia
• 12:19
  Louise. That's nice.
• 12:22
  Mr. Now what? You can call me Cindy Lou.
• 12:27
  Is anyone sitting here? Do you see anyone sitting there?
• 12:32
  Nope. Then go ahead.
• 12:35
  Mr. Thank you. You're you're welcome.
• 12:42
  Jesus loves me. This I know, for the Bible tells
• 12:47
  me so little ones too hand me long.
• 12:53
  They are weak, but he is strong. Mr. has something wrong.
• 12:59
  I I know that song. My mother used to sing that to
• 13:03
  me when I was a little boy. You used to be a little boy.
• 13:09
  Yeah, a long time ago. Did you have Jesus in your heart
• 13:14
  when you are a little boy? Yeah.
• 13:16
  I went to church, if that's what you mean.
• 13:18
  Church is good, but did you ever pray and ask Jesus to come into
• 13:24
  your heart? No, I don't guess so.
• 13:28
  Don't you want to go to heaven, Mr. Well of.
• 13:31
  Course I do. Who doesn't?
• 13:33
  You can't go to heaven if you don't ask Jesus in your heart.
• 13:38
  I could pray for you to get Jesus in your heart.
• 13:42
  And that's OK. Thanks anyway.
• 13:44
  Why don't you want to ask Jesus in your heart?
• 13:47
  I can't. Why can't you?
• 13:50
  Because. Because why?
• 13:52
  Well, lots of reasons. A smoke, a drink, a cuss.
• 13:58
  I'm just too bad to be a Christian.
• 14:01
  I would have to stop doing all those bad things first.
• 14:05
  Mr. I got good news for you. What's that, Cindy Lou?
• 14:10
  Jesus already died for all those bad things.
• 14:14
  No one is too bad to be a Christian.
• 14:17
  When Jesus comes in your heart, he makes you brand new inside.
• 14:20
  He will help you stop doing those bad things.
• 14:24
  How do you know so much? I'm ambassador.
• 14:28
  That's Ambassador Cindy Lou. Mr. I bet if your mommy was here
• 14:34
  right now, she was saying Jesus loves you.
• 14:38
  You're a pretty good ambassador, Cindy.
• 14:40
  Lou. Would would you?
• 14:43
  Pray for me. Sure, Mr. Dear God, you're
• 14:50
  supposed to repay it after me. Oh, OK dear God.
• 14:57
  Thanks for sending Jesus. Thanks for sending Jesus.
• 15:02
  To die for my sins. To die for my sins.
• 15:06
  Jesus, I make you the boss of my life.
• 15:10
  Jesus, I make you the boss of my life.
• 15:14
  Amen. Amen.
• 15:18
  Thank you, Cindy Lou. You have made an old man very
• 15:22
  happy. Not me.
• 15:24
  It was Jesus. Yes, but today.
• 15:28
  Jesus looks a. Lot like a little girl named
• 15:31
  Cindy Lou. I have to go now And thanks
• 15:36
  again. Bye, Mr. Oh, Cindy Lou, I'm so
• 15:42
  proud of you. You helped that man receive
• 15:46
  Jesus as his savior. It's 'cause what you.
• 15:48
  Taught me what? Was that you told me?
• 15:52
  God wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth
• 15:55
  first. Timothy 24.
• 15:58
  That's. Right.
• 15:59
  Look, there's a lady sitting all by herself.
• 16:03
  Let's tell her about Jesus. Let's go.
• 16:07
  God has important things that he needs everyone to do, and he
• 16:11
  doesn't think that you're too young.
• 16:13
  There are people all around us who don't understand the truth
• 16:16
  about how good God is and how much he loves each person.
• 16:21
  And since those people don't know the truth, they haven't
• 16:23
  received Jesus as their savior yet.
• 16:26
  First, Timothy 24 says that God wants everyone to be saved and
• 16:30
  to understand the truth. If you are willing to let God
• 16:34
  work through you, he will help you do things like praying with
• 16:37
  someone to receive Jesus. Special thanks to Sophia and
• 16:46
  Caleb Webb, Shiloh and Avianna Coulson and Ethan Webb.
