Whenever you venture down the path of refusing to dwell in the ordinary, or settle in the shallows of mediocrity there will quite often be a reaction , sometimes positive , other times negative.
A mere superficial reading of the Word of God again & again reveals this reality. Take for example Acts 17:1-9 , extreme reaction..... these people were absolutely in the will of God , preaching the Word , empowered by the Holy Spirit, praying , evangelising and doing everything God had commanded them to do and yet.........
Look at verse 6 : '' BUT WHEN THEY DID NOT FIND THEM , THEY DRAGGED JASON AND SOME OTHER BROTHERS BEFORE THE CITY OFFICIALS , SHOUTING:"THESE MEN WHO HAVE CAUSED TROUBLE ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE NOW COME HERE."
Disciples of Jesus will always be controversial simply because the world does not understand who they live for and why they are so passionate to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If today you are in that number rejoice , keep living on the raw , vibrant edge of Christianity and don't ever back down unless the Lord tells you to .
I have had some reactions to who I am in God recently including this very blog I am writing on now....my mind & spirit tell me to run swiftly into the arms of Jesus , keep upholding His Word of Truth, making every decision on my knees and resting in the very passion of Christ .... the power of the cross and the purpose of God's Kingdom.
Can I advise readers today to do the same ....and if you find yourself in a prison of attack or reaction ....stay foccused on Jesus and watch the prison walls come down in His matchless name.
Praying for you today.
GRACE & TRUTH
