Romans 14: 1-15 "Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls." (This is great reading)
My prayer is that I will always be the voice for Jesus when the Spirit of God prompts me to do so. I am not ashamed to speak the truth of God's word anytime or any place. If a subject comes up and God has me there, then I will be that voice of truth.
Some lyrics to the song above.... "Let the Spirit of God pour out on us. For Your glory, for You only. What You say is what we'll do. Let Your passion become action. Holy Spirit come move." Jesus we're alive to glorify Your name!
The other day at work, my heart was so hurt. I didn't act upon it, I just prayed. This person is a friend, and a believer. The subject of abortion came up, and was being discussed in a room of people, and not everyone was a Christian. I said how I felt about it according to God's word and shared a very touching story I heard on a Christian radio station that morning. Coincidence; I don't think so. God was preparing me for this very conversation.
When I left the room, what was said about me was this... "She is too much with this religious stuff." Wow, and this came from a Christian friend. The most precious part of this hurt was the person who came and told me. He is a non-believer who usually likes to stir up trouble, but it was said to me in such a sincere, sympathetic way.
I pray for believers and non-believers alike, that we come, or grow, to realize it is NOT a RELIGIOUS thing. It is a relationship with Jesus, and the truth of ALL His word says.
What sad times it is when another brother or sister in Christ can talk about another, especially when it is around other people. This is how God uses us, and the words He places on our lips just might touch someone's heart when spoken in love. This is how God works on earth. His Spirit alive in us to glorify His name, for all He is, all He has done, and all He is going to do.
Jeremiah 31: 3, Do you remember when Jesus met you and said, "I have loved you with an everlasting love... I have blotted out your sins.... None of them shall be remembered." That alone just moves me! I know the power of His cross and I, Psalm 138: 5 "shall sing of the ways of the Lord." His love to me is extraordinary, 2 Samuel 1: 26, and that is enough to move me into action. Sometimes I can barely refrain from jumping out of my car and dancing for joy! When the burden of sin is lifted and you have a personal story, or stories of deliverance, you are so full of joy and want to bless others. Your life becomes so clear in knowing the reason why you are here.
So as the bible says in Psalm 34: 1, "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." Magnify the Lord however He calls you to do so. Don't judge another's walk with Him. (Romans 14: 1-15) Every one of us are called to be a witness of the truth. John 12: 26 "Whoever serves Me must follow Me; and where I am, My servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves Me."
So serve dear believers. Don't be distracted or discouraged by the opinions or thoughts of others. Let "Jesus move" in you. Your audience in "ONE"
