All my life I haven't fit in anywhere. Since I have been saved
almost 1 year ago (Sept 12th) even more so. I know in my church and among
fellow Christians, I do not fit in. I am not satisfied with teaching on just
Jesus and His death and resurrection. I believe in teaching on the Holy Spirit
that raised Him from the dead, the Spirit that now lives in us and gives us the
authority to raise the dead, heal the sick. The Spirit that allows us receive
visions and spiritual gifts. Because I am a "Holy roller", "nut
case", "Pentecostal" and "Charismatic" (just to name a
few of the things I have been called) and because I believe in pursuing,
learning and teaching these things, I do not fit in. Because I cannot worship
in the "right" way, cannot just stand there and cannot sing songs
without singing in the language of angels, I do not fit in. I do not believe in
being content with only part of the Scriptures and only teaching parts of the
Good News. Yes, it gets me into trouble. Yes, it is a lonely place to walk.
Jesus got into trouble and His walk was with few. He saved all of mankind if we
would only receive it. I believe I am in good company, no? I have my spiritual
parents who believe in pursuing what I am. I am seeking revival. If that leaves
me as one who doesn't fit in, I believe it is a worthy sacrifice to follow in the
steps of my Saviour.
