Cross Fit
I’m a huge fan of CrossFit, http://www.crossfit.com/ a free online workout program which integrates speed, strength training and overall physical fitness. I’ve done triathlons, swam in college, played soccer for ever, and run a few races, but I’ve never been in as good of shape. Everyone I’ve run into has noticed something different about me. I tell them about CrossFit and have sold it like water in the desert, because I have changed. I’m compelled even to encourage others to try it because it works, no matter what your body type or current shape status. I’m hooked and I plan on doing it for as long as I can.
Amazing isn’t it. Change the terms CrossFit to Christ and see the instant parallels to my life. Christ and His work on the Cross is FREE. No matter what life you’ve had before, it will change your whole life. Its a daily process, filled with difficulty, but the reward is indescribable. Those I run into notice something different and likewise I’m compelled to share what I’ve learned about Jesus Christ. I’m totally hooked on Christ and know that He will carry me through forever.
Are you Fit for the Cross?
Galations 2:20 MSG “I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been Crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not ‘mine’ but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
I have been hammered lately with the spirit of shame and delusion, and guilt. The only prayer that broke these spirits free from me once I repented of my sins, was, “I’ve been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.” WOW.
I am Cross Fit. My sin is done. I am dead to sin, but alive to God. To be so identified with Christ in His death means that you have received additionally His resurrection life, since he also rose from the dead.
Have you so identified yourself with the work of Christ, that you can defend yourself with the power of the Cross against the ENEMY? It took me a week to FIGHT off the LIES I was hearing. If I wasn’t cross fit, than I would have despaired.
CHRISTIANS. Wake Up. Christ is Strong. And He will make you strong. You have no idea how much power God wishes to give you for His Work on this earth.
And it starts and continues with Surrender to His Work: His life, death, resurrection, and ascension.
