A Savage for Christ: Untame your FAITH

The day has finally come! Your dream is now being lived out. The biggest finance firm in the United States wants to fund your project. You’ve worked long and hard for someone just to recognize that your dream isn’t a dream its a vision, that your vision isn’t just a vision but that it is actually possible. So the phone rings! RING! Hold on cant pick it up yet, gotta show them your not sweatin it, let it ring twice more RING RING!

Finance Firm: Hello May I speak it to the vision holder
Vision Holder: This is she/he
Finance Firm: We would like to offer your 30 billion dollars to finance your project at 7% return over 30 years.
Vision Holder: Ok, are there any other terms and conditions?..
Finance Firm: Ohh yes, excuse me I almost forgot about those. They are as follows

1. Never think outside of the box
2. conform to the way it has always been done
3. Choke the Holy Spirit by being disobedient
4. Always make excuses when you are called to make change
5. Be scared of the anointing
6. Just pay your tithes, don’t make offering and please don’t name your seed
7. Pray simple, ritual prayers
8. Don’t study the word, just read it to read it
9. Honor people, money, and things more than you honor God
10. Lastly, don’t invite people to salvation just let them dwindle

Vision Holder: So I can do anything with the money as long as I adhere to your terms?
Finance Firm: Of course
Vision Holder: OK……Let me pray about it
Finance Firm: Ohh no this is a right now deal, after this conversation it expires. We simply ask you to have a tamed faith. You stick to what the church has been doing for centuries now.

What would you do? Are you already doing this?

We live in a society that has made conformity a way of life. Its like a page from a coloring book where the colors are assigned by number to a specific section and if you go outside of the lines, the world has deemed you a poor colorer. Sounds silly right well that’s what are doing to ourselves. The devil has trained us so well that he doesn’t even have to work at tempting us, we tempt ourselves, he doesn’t have to ask permission for us to sin, we sin on our own. He doesn’t even have to tell us not to pray, cuz we already don’t. Please he doesn’t have to tell us not to obey, its so apparent already that WE DON’T. But all of this can change. Are you willing to untame your faith?

Abraham was the father of faith. God told him before he changed His name as stated in Genesis 12:2-3

2 “I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”

At the time Abram was 75 years old. All Abram had to do was obey God and think outside the box. Instead Abram listened to Sarai when she insisted on having Hagar sleep with her husband. Yo, for real imagine that. God tells you, listen son thru your seed, I’m gonna make you a ruler over nation. Any one who shows love to you, I’m gonna show love to them. But you gotta be calm, be eazy son cause its gonna take time. But instead because Abram and Sarai weren’t obedient they allowed Haggar to birth the son Ishmael. They conformed to the conventional way of birthing a child. They tamed there faith put God in a box and didn’t punch any holes. They brought misery on the house because they were worried about how old they were.

Jesus Christ, God, the Holy Spirit they are all looking for the same thing in each of us, those who will allow them to use us. John the Baptist was the greatest example of an untamed faith, this dude was a warrior. He was so different that people didnt know what to do with him. He worship, talked, looked, dressed, and spoke different nothing was “normal” about Him. We all know that he was the greatest prophet and that he baptised Jesus. But we fail to look at how he handled God keeping Him incarcerated. Image you being Jesus’ cousin. His own flesh and blood and not by resurrection but thru straight blood line and your own cousin leaving you in jail. Your cousin can open the jail from clear across the world. But instead He is at some strangers house chat, healing and chilling with them. How would you feel? Would you say Jesus forget you? Would you listen to the haters telling you He ain’t the messiah? Or would you say Jesus though you keep me incarcerated I will still love you! Though my plan is not your plan I will still call you friend. Thou people think I’m crazy, I’m going to do what you say.

Untame your faith! You may not pray like Sister Johnson. You probably don’t want to do the normal church activity, you want to take the church rock climbing. You probably don’t know why everyone is jumping around at service, instead you like to tap your foot. I encourage you to do all the things the devil will hate you for. Be obedient to God, no matter how it makes you feel. Proclaim excuses, just give the devil a use tag for me and that tag is expired. Accept to be clothed in the anointing of Christ that breaks yokes. Name that $1.00 seed ask for someone’s healing you have never met. Open up to God like never before in prayer. Break out a pad and pen while reading your bible, write down questions to ask God.

SIMPLY UNTAME YOUR FAITH. PROCLAIM TODAY I WILL BE A SAVAGE FOR CHRIST.

Untamed Savage full of Faith,

**CHRISTina FAITH**

Prayer: Jesus I have seen the highs and the lows of life but no matter what your most undeniable love of my life. I ask that you forgive me of the sins that I have committed against you. Father I am tired of the convential way of serving you. Im disgusted at the rituals that have been created to serve you. I simply want to hit the battlefield and serve you no matter what you call me to do. Right Now Jesus place an anointing in each of us to serve you the way you want to be served. Let us serve you in variety. Let us make you THE priority. Erase the conformity in our lives and make us a fresh and A-NU. Through the Blood of Jesus. It is so!
