Who Will You Choose to Be?
Growing up I would hear people speak of the two positions like being one was a curse, while the other was considered to be living life to the fullest. I never really gave too much thought to the term Jesus Freak, other than the fact I didn't want to be pegged one of them. And I certainly didn't consider myself ever being a devil worshiper. Thank God for being just who He is, a loving and merciful God.
I'm older now, perhaps a little wiser, and really understand what the two terms really mean. I have to say that I'd rather be a Jesus Freak, rather than be a devil worshiper. Jesus Freak doesn't sound all that bad. It's better than worshiping satan. If you know like I know, going coo coo for Christ, is beneficial in the long run (pun intended).
Let's examine being a freak for Jesus. To me, it means you can't get enough of Him! You desire Him more and more everyday. You walk with Christ daily. Spending time reading the scriptures, praying, fasting, ministering to others, expressing love towards one another, and best of all, fellow-shipping with the one who redeemed us of our sins. Having Jesus on the brain, certainly changes one's life for the better.
Being one or the other is a Choice, all of us have to make. Which one you choose is really up to you. David in the Bible constantly prayed to the Lord in heaven. He said "Your praise shall continually be in my mouth!" And just like so many of us, David too, was a sinner who loved God and Jesus Christ. David knew what it meant to serve a Living God.
God loved us before we ever loved Him. He went to great lengths to redeem us back to Himself. His Son, Jesus Christ was given as a sacrifice for the multitude of iniquities that befall us mere humans. Our word is full of benefits that come with becoming a believer. You can start with Psalm 103:1-6. Salvation is a the top of my list.
Advantages of Being a Jesus Freak:
- All of our transgressions are forgiven
Psalm 85:2: "Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin."
Psalm 86:12-13: "I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell."
Isaiah 43:25: "I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins."
- Heals all our diseases
- Redeems our lives from destruction
Ezekiel 18:4: "Behold all souls are mine."
Acts 2:21: "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Romans 5:8: "But God commandeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners. Christ died for us."
Romans 10:13: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
- We are ever welcomed to His tender mercies and loving kindness
- We are blessed with the true good things in life
- He'll renew our youth like the eagles
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Fear
- Death
- Agony
- Pain
- Misery
- Sickness
- Suffering
- Total Darkness
- Eternal hell fire, no rest or reprieve
- No God!
What we need to do is, humble ourselves before the Father. Sincerely repent of our sins from the heart. Trust and believe that God raised Jesus from the grave, also that He was sent to in fact bear our sins. We are admonished to seek God while He can be found. This world is passing away. Christ is coming back for His Church, you want to be on the winning team! Everlasting Salvation, should be the goal of everyone. God doesn't want to lose not one soul.
Become a Jesus Freak, seeking the kingdom of heaven. Cause in the end you'll want to be above the 'Gulf of Hell', in heaven or on the new earth, where all things will become new. Remember, we've been purchased with the price of Jesus' precious blood. Let not that sacrifice be in vain for your life. Pray without ceasing! Fight the good fight, endure through til the end, the rewards are absolutely fabulous.
Make your choice today who you'll serve. Time is running out for this life and world. Yet, with God there is always hope and everlasting life. If you know better, you'll choose to become a Jesus Freak living for an eternity, just as it was planned from the very beginning.
God Bless Us All!
