Years ago, I pictured my life as being a Jesus Freak and giving my all to follow and obey Him. I can say that I’ve experienced far more of the miracles and joy of Jesus than I could have ever imagined. (Jesus is the ultimate life enhancer!) I hope younger people radically encounter and obey the living Jesus. I don’t want to be the last Jesus Freak.
Once there were millions of people so openly excited about Christ that they were called Jesus Freaks. You saw them everywhere: in stores, in parks, at sporting events, in colleges, on the streets, in high schools. Over the years their numbers have dwindled. Many were toned down by churches. Others turned away from Jesus. Some have already been promoted to glory. But there are still a few of us around praising and following Jesus everyday with all of our heart! O Lord, please renew our numbers in the generations behind us! Raise up millions of Christ-followers who will let the Holy Spirit empower them to get and keep the trash out of their heart and life.
Look again!
Do you recall
The most famous
Birth of all?
Jesus the living God
Was born in human flesh.
Now He reigns as Lord of all!
Hear and obey His call
Throughout the day.
You’ll no longer find Him
As a babe in a manger,
But if you’ll look
With the eyes of your heart,
You can see Him living and working
In someone you consider to be a stranger.
Let the people of God assemble heart-to-heart,
In the life-changing, radical love of Jesus
As His Spirit-led ekklesia,
Not in routine religion.
Break out of
Religious routine.
Look and experience
The unseen Jesus.
Taste and see
What can’t be seen
With the human eye.
Open your heart to receive,
And to ever perceive
The reality
Of the risen Christ.
If you’re not going
To daily walk the walk,
There’s no need
To hear a Sunday talk.
