IF CHRIST WALKED THE EARTH TODAY
Thursday, 18. December 2008
By Kriston Couchey
If Christ walked the earth today...
Drug addicts and drunks would find joy unspeakable
Pornographers and porn addicts would find real consuming passion
Gays and lesbians would find their true identity
New agers would embrace the age of the Kingdom of God
Feminists would experience the ultimate shattered glass ceiling
Murderers would find a love that lays down it's life for another
The hungry would be fed
Gang members would make the sign of the cross to their members
Child molesters would have their inner child healed
The rich would give their goods to the poor
Prostitutes would find love that won't go away
The lame would walk
The deaf would hear
The blind would see
The gospel would be preached to the poor
The captives would be set free
The brokenhearted would be healed
The favor of the Lord would would be preached
Liberty would be proclaimed to the broken, crushed and oppressed
All of this if Christ (the anointed one) walked the earth today
Christ DOES walk the earth today!
Christ in you IS the hope of this Glory. He walks the earth NOW in you...
As Father has sent his Son, So we are sent to be Christ to the world....
Repent and believe you of little faith!
Kriston Couchey

yes He is and its just too bad that the majority of us are far to self-righteous, smug and religious to let Jesus truly love through us and bring these people groups to the knowledge of His love and salvation ... simply no more excuses... its time to repent of our own prideful, self-righteous judgments that keep us from reaching out in Christ's love and grace to these folks.... Jesus did not come into the world to condemn the world but through Him to SAVE the world.... the more excellent way is LOVE!

Yeah Good Point Julie,
Since as many know I have been in the above group, God Forbid we think we are so much Holier than Thou... OUCH!
Forgive (ME.. Jesus.)... Our Blindesses (Smug excellent word for it) at times and Bring Your Sight to our limited view... He came to save the Lost, Not Award the Brownie button to the self proclaimed blessed Elite... Jes? No Yes!
Reup'd Thanks Kris...

I was again humbled and in awe of God... my 21 year old daughter Chelsea, has been friends with a guy, Jason for a couple of years... Jason was a wiccan.... Chelsea was never judgmental of him or tried to 'convert him' or preach to him... she just LOVED him and accepted him right as he was ... always praying and pleading the blood over him and herself....
well three days ago... she met up with him after work at the bar he manages... and they were talking... Jason had a demon attached to him named 'jareth' he suffered multiple personalities.. I guess there was a 'j' also... but jareth was the main entity.... so they were talking and Chelsea kept asking God when HE would come up and the Lord has told her all along 'patience' there will be a time...
well that night was the time and God came up and Jason was asking questions and sharing his 'faith' as a wiccan... Chel listened.. and redeemed her moment when the Lord just anointed her to share... well... Jason said that he controlled 'jareth' and at this moment... jareth began to manifest around them... Chel said that she had prayed previous to arriving asking God for the biggest angel he had and for his blood to cover them.... well 'jareth' charged at jason and went 'through' Chel... she said she had never felt such hate and rage and evil... but jareth was stopped.. Jason had an immediate revelation that he did not control 'jareth' and he told Chel that they needed to go and she agreed... so they left the bar.. and drove around talking about what had happened, what Jason had realized and he asked her question after question about Jesus.... after about 2 hours, Chel said that Jason just said - tell me, what do I need to do to have Jesus in my heart' .... my daughter was able to pray with him to accept Jesus in his heart...
he immediately said that all the voices he has known for so many years, just stopped.... he went home that night and slept the best he had in years and years ... no voices, no jareth... the next night he had a dream about 'snow'.... lol said he hadn't dreamed in years either...
I am so proud of my daughter ... she loved her friend and redeemed God's time to share and as a result Jason is a new believer, a new creation in Christ and God has delivered him of wicca and his demons and set him free.... Jason said that he would not have listened to any one else... and had the situation not been as it had, he probably would have blown Chelsea off but he knew that she loved him unconditionally and was sharing truth with him....
if only we'd humble ourselves such as this and allow God to just be GOD ... if we love people... and let the Spirit have time to work, there would be more salvations and deliverances by the Spirit of God vs. by man's wisdom and works....
God will draw people to us because we LOVE like Jesus loved... there is a place for preaching and confronting sin... but NOT until we have loved these folks and laid down our own lives for them.... just like Jesus did....
your prayers for Jason are appreciated... he has renounced all his wiccan stuff... renounced all ties to wicca and completely given his life to Jesus... we entrust him to Holy Spirit who will teach him and lead him in to ALL truth!
