When I sit and think of what I thought it meant to be a bad
a$$ in my twenties, is awfully horrid to me now. Cursing in public, being an
utter terror, listening to music that it really would not be appropriate for
anyone’s children to listen to, lying, stealing, sleeping around, going to bars
and making a fool of myself… WOW what immensely childish and irresponsible behavior. In retrospect I think, by doing what i thought was rebellious, I was just doing what EVERYONE else was doing. Which of course was the wrong thing. A life full of worthlessness, built upon an sandy house of lies, that lay too close to the beach and is being washed away.
The Lord revealed to me that the true rebel, in my eyes, is
the Christian. You want to upset some people? Pray for them in Jesus name.
Wanna really make them uncomfortable? Do it in public! And to ultimately
mortify them? do it loud enough so that other people can hear it. I mean no one
wants the bible thumping Christian around. As much as they are preaching love
and acceptance we really don’t want to hear anything they have to say about their
Testimony or anything else.
But in becoming a believer, I sold out, I became a rebel. I
should be praying and dancing and worshiping him all day every day. Regardless
of my circumstances my true and ultimate job here is to tell people about Jesus
and his love. To share my testimony about my life and how I have changed
because of his love and sacrifice for me. I am to share with people about the
miracles I have seen, how he brought my husband back from the dead, How my son
was thought to have been miscarried but is alive and thriving, how I have seen
him heal the sick and make tumors and lumps and bumps and diseases disappear.
So essentially being a Christian is intrinsic with being a rebel. How rad is
that?
Matthew 10:22
You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
John 15: 18-19
18"If
the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19"If
you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of
the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.…
SO be a rebel,
for Christ,
he appreciates that effort.
