Name Tags: You are… Powerful & Victorious
Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is Yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as Head above all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all. In Your Hand are power and might, and in Your Hand it is to make great and to give strength to all.
1 Chronicles 29:11-12 (ESV)
Before Christ, I looked strong and successful by many of the world's definitions. In public, I played this role pretty well. In private, I knew it was just an act.
Because the mask fell off so easily. Underneath, I was a helpless loser: unable to find or share lasting joy.
Actors, models, and talent for Christ:
Don't dare to buy into earthly symbols of power, success, and supremacy. To the Lord, they're toy swords and plastic crowns.
Because if His children act like bullies…
At best, He’ll correct them and they’ll repent.
At worst, they’re destined for a painful fall.
Sooner or later, “top guns” discover how meaningless their “power” really is… and how shallow their “victory” becomes.
Actors, models, and talent for Christ:
As the Lord’s models and ambassadors, you're called to redefine how stars SHOULD act… every time you walk out of your front door (because off-stage is where your acts count most).
Therefore, consider two ways to do it:
Since your strength comes from the Holy Spirit, offer His fruit to ALL hungry people: show them love, joy, peace, patience and kindness; also goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and a supernatural self-control.
Since the only meaningful victory comes in total surrender to the Lord– and the Holy Spirit's presence in you, lay every earthly crown at your King’s Feet and share how you GOT your win with others.
‘Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!’ (Revelation 4:3).

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.
