Name Tags: You are… Doers

Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God Who works in you to will and TO ACT in order to fulfill His good purpose.

Philippians 2:12-13 (NIV)

But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

James 2:18-20 (NKJV)

In the world, you have dreamers and doers, but seldom are they both in one person. 

In the church, you have talkers and walkers, but seldom are they both in one Christian.

Because DOING is a consummation, the evidence or fulfillment of faith:

  • It’s the performance after rehearsals!

  • It’s the real-time mission after training!

  • It’s the doing of your God-given dream!

  • It’s God’s Helping Hand after your prayers.

It's living the life Jesus exampled– rather than sitting on a bench at church and simply hearing about His wonders (but not experiencing them yourself). Praise (like faith) falls flat without active work.

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

On occasion, God and the world agree. You must GET UP and GO into the field if your goal is to be an action star!

The Word of God is filled with action stars: girls, boys, men, and women… called and chosen, who left behind familiar surroundings to become bold heroes and change the world!

They exchanged their comfort zone for God’s zone–because the Holy Spirit likes to move, and the prize doesn’t come without effort.

You know your destiny is different:

  • To do what so many Christians do not,

  • To go to the world’s ripest field and WORK,

  • To help your Father bring in His harvest,

  • To seek and to lead many lost sheep home.

You're not simply watching screens. You're on them!  You're not sleepy sideliners. You're players! 

So don't get discouraged when it gets hard. Don’t doubt “if” or “when” you'll score a big win. Pay Day is coming and it WILL be good.

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
