My Calling is what I have to do and what I am not doing, or where I have to go\u2026<\/p>\n
Jesus is my model of sorts.\u00a0 What he did that was so impressive was that he went and spoke his truth out there in the world.\u00a0 He had the courage to be honest.\u00a0 Moreover, this is not just the courage to write a book, make a video, or give lectures for people that want to hear what you have to say.<\/p>\n
It is not WHAT you say but how it you say it or, better yet, WHERE it you say it.<\/p>\n
It does take some<\/em> courage to write things that will not be popular.\u00a0 Yet, to go out into public places and speaking to the public, not people who came to hear me necessarily, but to those who do NOT want to hear me, like the conservative and religious people that Jesus did.\u00a0 The conservative and religious people would judge him and criticism him and he would demonstrate his lack of fear of their judgment.\u00a0 Jesus demonstrated that he had overcome that fear of the world\u2019s judgment or the world\u2019s ability to intimidate him with their words. He was not afraid of them when they would say that he was a sinner or that he was Satan.<\/p>\n Jesus was out there speaking his truth; he was demonstrating the courage to be honest.<\/p>\n Courage is the manifestation of love<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Jesus was demonstrating the love, that courage.\u00a0 That is why they call Jesus God; they say that God is love since Jesus was demonstrating love in his courage to be honest in spite of the hostilities of those who were listening.\u00a0 Jesus was not intimidated by all these doctrines and theologies that were out there. \u00a0Jesus had seen that the judgments and criticisms meant nothing if one aligned within himself.<\/p>\n Demonstrating that courage is what I have to do.\u00a0 I have done some but I have not consistently<\/em> spoken out.\u00a0 That is where I have failed, consistently to speak out in public places.\u00a0 That is my calling.\u00a0 To go out and speak my truth to people who do not want to hear it, who will judge me and criticize me and reject me.\u00a0 People who will take the greatest offense at what I have to say.<\/p>\n I am not necessarily to talk to just individuals, who cannot handle the heat of the confrontation directly, but to crowds of people in public places.<\/p>\n That is my job, to go do this.\u00a0 Until I have done this I have not done what I have to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My Calling is what I have to do and what I am not doing, or where I have to go\u2026 Jesus is my model of sorts.\u00a0 What he did that was so impressive was that he went and spoke his truth out there in the world.\u00a0 He had the courage to be honest.\u00a0 Moreover, this […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[83,17,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-communication","category-jesus","category-lovefear"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimfreedom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimfreedom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimfreedom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimfreedom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimfreedom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=491"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimfreedom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":493,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimfreedom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/491\/revisions\/493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jimfreedom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimfreedom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jimfreedom.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
