Who Do People Say That I Am? Looking Like Jesus

If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 8:31-32 (NKJV)

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same Image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NKJV)

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the Word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

2 Corinthians 4:1-2 (NKJV)

Looking like Christ is the hardest challenge you may face, except living without Him. WHY?

To look like Christ, you have to ACT LIKE CHRIST.

That's the master plan. The Lord decreed it. By Him, you’re transformed--to act like Jesus in a dying world.

  • To model His love, joy, and kindness,

  • For media fans, seeking a shepherd,

  • Because they’re lost and don’t know how to live.

  • They’re confused by the gods of this world,

  • Where joy is crafted and sold by conmen.

  • They follow party-hard celebrities,

  • Who seem to hold the keys to happiness!

  • Satan cheers at this star-struck progression.

  • He sees media as HIS stomping ground!

Except for you.

  • Except when YOU enter this mission field.

  • Except when you act like the REAL ROCK STAR!

  • Except when you rise and shine like Jesus!

  • Except when you show love, instead of hate,

  • Except when you speak truth, instead of lies.

  • Except when you perform unselfishly.

  • Except when you point to the Better Way.

  • Except with you use the strength God gives you,

  • To stomp on Satan and his sly designs,

  • While you gently lift the hurt and fallen.

Through actors, models, and talent for Christ, millions of lost and prodigal children will be brought into the Kingdom of God. 

It’s happening now. So… hold your dreams tightly. Be famous for GOD— wherever the Spirit is leading you, no matter how slow or fast it may come, no matter how small or large a stage is, your entrance matters. Your witness matters

As for the entertainment industry being the devil’s primetime stomping ground? That's old news, because… 

'The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly' (Romans 16:20). Whose feet? Your feet. And, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things' (Romans 10:15).

That's who THE REAL DIRECTOR says YOU ARE.

Who Do People Say That I Am? Looking Like Jesus (Part 5, Conclusion)

NOTE: This is a 2023 update of a 2013 Carey Lewis Devotion. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players. Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
