About Face
February 27, 2017
The term “about face” means to turn around completely and go in the opposite direction. When Jesus died on the cross He made it possible for us to turn from the sinful life we’d been living and follow Him. When we choose to follow Christ we begin a relationship with God, and when we die one day we will have a familiar face to face encounter and we will live with Him forever in Heaven.

Scripture tells us that nothing is impossible with God, but He always works for his own glory. When we are living in obedience to God, there is nothing that can stand in our way. He may allow difficulties to come, but it is only so that others may see His glory in and through it all.

One of the greatest way to determine how well our lives are being used by God is by examining the parts of our lives that have been wasted. Instead of falling into temptations of distraction and momentary pleasure, we must run and fight with endurance, staying focused on Jesus to finish this life having used it for His glory.

There are instances in this world where children, women, and sometimes men are taking beatings on a regular basis. While the Bible instructs us to not retaliate when someone hurts us but rather to respond in service, we also must seek God in each situation. If He tells us to stay and suffer, we must obey and believe He has a plan for it, but if He tells us to go we must go.

Jesus went through excruciating suffering in order for us to be saved. When He says in Scripture that we are to take up our cross and follow Him, that means that we need to be ready at any moment to give our lives for His sake. Even if we don’t ultimately die a physical death on His behalf, we need to die to ourselves and follow His will in our everyday lives.

The Bible tells us that no matter what we do or how we grow, it all must be rooted in godly love or else it’s meaningless. When God shows us an area of our lives that needs to change, our maturity is deepened when we listen and respond in obedience.

When we listen to God, He will lead us to meet the needs of people that cross our path. Since all our stuff is His anyway, we need to be good stewards of what is His and distribute it where He wants us to. When we give to other people, Scripture tells us to give in secret so that they do not find out and give glory to God.

As Christians, we ought to be waiting on the Spirit to blow some wind in our sails, and allow Him to guide us to where He wants us to go. Then, when we’re there, we need to listen and watch for what He is doing so that we can respond in an appropriate manner. The Holy Spirit desires to use us to do extraordinary things, but we can’t do those things without Him and so we must wait, listen, watch and respond.

As Christians, we have the Holy Spirit living in us and working through us to fulfill God’s will. When we are prompted to share the Gospel with whoever we are talking to, we need to step out in obedience and do it because we may not know the work that God is doing behind the scenes.

The Christian life is like a race that we are running, and the devil will do everything he can to try to take us out. We must let go of whatever is holding us back and run the race, focusing on the prize at the end.

When we choose to follow Jesus, He leads us to other broken people in need of a healing Savior. Instead of ignoring people’s sin that is destroying them, we show that we love others by our willingness to sound the trumpet where there is sin in their lives and help them take steps out of their entanglement.
