the Lord has been really dealing with me
regarding holy living and righteousness in my life.
it almost feels impossible at times, not even applicable to this modern life that i live.
until i read matthew 11 when Jesus talks about jtb.
john the baptist.
a man of great stature, not of his own will or power or influence,
but a righteous man made by intimacy with the creator of the universe.
jtb, not dressed in armani or blingin in his escalade spoke truth.
delibrate truth that was “forcefully advancing the kindgom of God”.
WHOA.
thats right my friends, jtb, without millionaire or best selling author to his facade
brought more people to the kingdom than anyone in history.
did you hear me?
he, through an initmate relationship with God and through the supernatural wisdom he
gained while knowing and experiencing God, propelled the kingdom of God because of the fact that he was
OBEDIENT.
WILLING.
NOT PASSIVE.
NOT APATHETIC.
RIGHTEOUS.
A TRUTH SPEAKER.
A TRUTH SEEKER.
BOLD.
COURAGEOUS.
NOT CONCERNED WITH WORDLY PASSIONS. DESIRES. MATERIAL THINGS.
HUMBLE.
NOT RELEVANT.
UNIFIED WITH GOD.
TEACHABLE.
PERSECUTED.

he must of did something right.
his head was brought on a platter.

what a man, not one thing about him was perfection,
he was only after truth, an intimacy and LOVED PEOPLE.

he had no cheat sheet. no Message Bible in his Palm Pilot to reference to
@ anytime he needed it, no Holy Spirit (get that one, my friend), no Rick Pino to jam to.
he solely based his ministry off of incredible encounters with a Most High God and
downloads He spoke into JTB.

so, as we whiny disciples get back on our feet from realizing we have nothing to be whining about,
why dont’ we start thanking our Father for the gifts that he has given us so that we can have such
an initmate encounter and experience with Him. its almost like we have cheat sheets to get into the King’s
chambers and yet a few of us still cry, pout and self-pity ourselves because “we just cant do it”.

get over yourself. and move on.
what a great example of transperency, humility, and boldness that jtb was.
he was pimpslapping religion before we knew what pimpslap was.
thank you jtb.
