Good morning you Champion. Here is something for you to chew on.
Acts 17: 6 (NKJV)
But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.
What a great reputation, I believe that this is the reputation of the Spirit filled God lover, we are not called to fit in to everything that society and life expects us too or deems normal, but rather to be people who turn worlds upside down.
Poor old Jason got into mega trouble for housing some” followers of Jesus”, would we get someone into trouble if we went to stay with them? Would Christ in us turn something upside down when we “passed through”? What a great challenge.
Whatever realm of life that God has called you to function in, make sure that when you look in the mirror before leaving your house you see someone called of God to turn things upside down.
How? Simple make the decision where ever you find yourself too:
1. Stand up for Jesus and His kingdom.
2. Live for the truth of God’s word, let it be what determines your absolutes not that which comes from an ever changing confused society.
3. Remember you are only on this planet once. Live in such a way that your life has a unique flavor, stand out have definition to don’t settle for bland!
What we believe (Gods truth) should make us stick out in the crowd, it should be turning wrong thinking and behavior upside down, it is destined to cause trouble in peoples messed up lives (good trouble).
Acts 17: 6 (NIV)
These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here,
The gospel is not a sedative meant to quiet you down it is a stimulant, an empowering license to live passionately for a cause that changes people lives and lasts for eternity.
Come on let’s get our world changing reputation back, realize that Jesus the revolutionary lives in you and have a world shaking day, how? Let Him out!
God Bless
Andy
