I Am NOT Ashamed

"I am not ashamed of the Gospel
The Gospel of Jesus Christ
I am not afraid to be counted
But I'm willing to give my life
See I'm ready to be all He wants me to be
Give up the wrong for the right
I am not ashamed of the Gospel
of Jesus Christ"

I couldn't always say that I wasn't ashamed. Not of the gospel that my faith is based on but I was ashamed to say I was a Christian because of all those who proclaim to follow Christ and are perpetrating a fraud. Who are quick to call one a sinner forgetting they are one themselves. Who say they are loving and then will talk about you behind your back. The ones who hoop and holla on Sunday and will curse you out on Monday. Those who cause people to judge you and say, "Oh, you're a Christian".

People that even I couldn't stand. People I didn't want to call my brother or sister.

Being authentic whether Christian or not is what is the most important thing but in today's society they tell you to be fake. Put on airs, be this person, buy that thing to be a better you. How about we all be who God created us to be?
I am no longer ashamed to be a follower of Christ. I'm no longer afraid to make that known to people. I'm not flashy, I'm not in your face and I don't need to be. I just need to be me. God's love for me shines through me.  I may not be "Christian" enough for some and I may be to "Christian" for others but I'm not trying to appease everybody. I don't need everyone's stamp of approval.

I want God to look at me when I stand before Him and have Him tell me, "Well done my good and faithful servant." That is my goal, to let the light of Jesus Christ shine through me.

I used to sing this song out at the top of my lungs when I was a little girl and it would always move me to tears but I never truly grasped what it meant til I got older. 

I am not ashamed...

Because He wasn't ashamed to leave His throne to die for me.

Praise Break: Hymn of Breakthough

 I have been in a time of Worship and Praise since early this morning and for the last 3 hours I've been listening to Israel Houghton's Feels Like Home. It has been blessing me. But the very last song was the Hymn of Breakthough. There has been such a shift in my mindset, in my expectancy of God in the last almost 20 days. I'm expecting a breakthough or even breakthrough. The lyrics say, I hear the sound of breakthough, my breakthrough is here. Everything that I need You supply. Every promise of Heaven is mine. But the words that spoke to my spirit, I am healed, I am free God has spoken I agree My breakthrough is here God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. God has spoken, I agree. Let the words follow over you, let in seep to you Soul so that you know, God has a breakthrough for. No matter what you are going through, no matter the sitution. God said, God said your breakthrough is here. Stand i...

Praise Break - Ghost Town (Freedom)

The earth was new, a great frontier The perfect place to spread his fear So satan set up shop to draw them in Bright lights to display all his wares "Come on in, forget your cares" That devil knew just how to package sin People came from far and wide Not a guilty soul denied But before they knew they'd been deceived They'd step inside and never leave They said his eyes were black as coal His voice a shudder to the soul He preyed upon the broken and the proud He told them they were lost for good No one loved them and who would Before too long he owned that fallen town And from inside the gates they'd wail: Who can save us from this hell? And as their hopes turned into tears He laughed and all his demons stood and cheered Then down a dirt road from the east Came one, they said, could slay the beast But did not fight with bullets or a sword They called him Mercy and at his side A thousand angels chose to ride And a...

2021 is the Year of Birth

 In the same way I will not cause pain     without allowing something new to be born,” says the Lord. “If I cause you the pain,     I will not stop you from giving birth to your new nation,” says your God. Isaiah 66:9 We have experienced so much this year but I'm believing that out of the pain of 2020 God will birth a great nation in all of us who continue to push to it birth. Remember, inspite of it all YOU ARE LOVED . The Unlikely Missionary DHW
