Freaking Out Path Three

Okay so you want to be a follower of Christ, well then you will have to lose your shyness. Speaking the truth about Jesus Christ will get you into a lot of hot water but what did you expect. I mean they crucified Jesus so do we deserve any better. A freak is not concerned with what will happen to them. They are only concerned with doing the Father's will. Now we won't be perfect this side of death but that is our goal.
Be honest with yourself and answer one simple question. If speaking about your faith would prompt someone to openly and loudly make fun or ridicule you, would you actually continue on and speak the word. If you feel a little uncertain or a little unsure than you have to overcome a hurdle in path three. You have to overcome the worship of self. You see the main reason Christians will not witness or speak of the Savior who saved them is because they love self. They don't want to embarrass themselves or be made to feel uncomfortable. Being a Jesus Freak means that nothing and I mean nothing can keep you from glorifying your King. It means putting your very existence under control of the King.
Peter became a Jesus Freak but it was not always so. Just before the crucifixion, Peter denied Jesus 3 times. He was a coward and a liar just like some of us at times. Well we don't say "I never knew Him so leave me alone". But we do keep quite and spiritually hide in the forest of "I never knew Him so leave me alone". Peter became a fanatical, bold, crazy for Christ, Jesus Freak when he put his very existence under the King.
So we have a decision to make this moment. Will I quit the charade and get real with our faith. Will our faith be represented by the life we live or will be like so many Pseudo Christians that never get out of the forest of " I never knew Him so leave me alone". There is freedom in being a freak. Find your freedom my friend!
