A martyred lifestyle
The true spirit of the martyr is not just willing to die for Christ he is willing to live for Christ no matter what happens, even is it means death. Matter of fact a true martyr was dead long before his head even laid itself on any guillotine. A true martyr lives a crucified life, allowing Jesus to live through him. Jesus told His disciples in Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. The Greek word translated witnesses is means martyr. He wasn't necessarily telling them they would have to physically die, but they would be dead to self being a witness for Him. I want to live that martyred lifestyle were I can truly say I am crucified with Christ yet I live, but not I but Christ that lives in me. If we will change the way we believe on Jesus, if we realize we are the Bride of Christ, if we understand we are really in a blood covenant with Jesus were everything we have or are belongs to Him, if we will crucify our flesh as scripture tells us we must the Satan, self, sin, and death have no chance.
Some of you may agree and some of you might think I have totally lost it. Either way is ok by me, I do not want to be conformed to this world, I do not want to be conformed to the church, I do not want to conform myself to any doctrinal stance. I want to be conformed to the image of Christ transformed any the renewing of my mind by the washing of His word believing in Him the way the scriptures say I must. If we humble ourselves before the Lord resist the Devil He must flee. I am ready to stand up look satan and self right in the face with with Jesus Himself staring at them out of my eyes, and dare them, with the Spirit of Christ speaking through me do you really want to war against this?
