Right now I am pumping the greens and Pre-workout and loving them both… Heres a secret “I’m on them right now as I do my podcast”. 

 

I remember years ago working out in the weight room at Northwest university. I was talking to a young kid who was probably only about 2 years younger than me. I was 24 at the time… I asked him about his work out and in explaining to me why he did what he did he said “well Im a professional baseball player”. Wow, I said who do you play for, he said I was drafted by the reds… I was impressed. Until days later I was talking to one of the football players I knew and he said “he was drafted by the reds… yes - but he only plays on their farm team. 

It got me thinking… what really makes you a professional athlete. Like when can I say I am a professional football player? If I am on the practice squad? If I am drafted by them but never play a down… 

Here is a question for you… are you a professional Christian… or just on the farm team. Or maybe you were drafted by Jesus… but you have never really played.

 

 

Mark 16: 15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.[e] 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”

19 When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 

This is the job description for followers of Christ. But I guess you are only a true follower of Christ if you choose to accept the job description. 

It says these are the signs that follow them that believe… those that accepted their work and their job description have these signs follow them. I will even be a little more vague… maybe not a demon or snake handling, but definitely the power of the Holy Spirit shows up… but he shows up while you are at work in your role as a follower of Christ. 

Follow is such a bad word really. I can follow a professional football, I can follow someones music career I can even follow a chef or an artist… but following does not put me in the same category as these individuals. 

 

Now to those of you who may say “well these are not my gifts” I would say only because you are not following him, you are not choosing the job description. Jesus was not talking about gifting in this passage, it in fact was just before he went up to heaven… he was talking about his last instructions for those who come to believe in him.

And to those who would say I have not ran into any demon possessed people or snakes or people trying to poison me… I would say yes and you will never get tackled in football sitting on the sidelines. You must get in the game and take on the job description. Today in fact I was really under attack spiritually… and then it hit me… Im in the game. Oh, ok, I get it… nice try satan, nice try demonic attack. I am in the game, I put it in Gods hands and kept being a follower of Christ, sharing the gospel, praying for people, believing for miracles, reading praying etc… I AM IN THE GAME! 

If you could google me to see if I was a “professional follower of Christ” you would find me all over the internet! 

Would we find you?
