Each child of God is embodied with a gift and a talent and there are people that God has blessed with the ability to nurture that gifting or talent to be a gift to the whole kingdom of God. These remind me of Superheroes.
The ‘Mind Reader” is an example of Discernment and Empathy. When you can look at something and see it not only for what it is but for what is lying underneath. When you truly tune in to what someone is feeling and going through and minister to them in a way that brings healing and wholeness and a new breath that revives and restores them and enables them to be able to help someone else to gain healing. You minister in a way that helps people know that you care and are not just present in the moment but sharing your heart with them.
The ‘Regenerator’ is an example of Faith. Knowing that no matter how I put myself out there for God, He has my back, for there is no weapon formed against me that will prosper Isaiah 54:17. God has placed His shield around me and although it may not be pretty right now, I will emerge as one beautified. I am made beautiful as I follow His direction and will.
The ‘Time Traveler’ is an example of a Prophet. A prophet receives from God a word and shares it with others with the authority and command of God. This can be something that is going to happen or a greater revelation of why something has already happened. A prophet speaks to people not only in their current position but speaks a word of exhortation to bring encouragement and peace to others. A prophet hears directly from God and God's word is always a rhema word, a perfect word for the situation.
These ‘Superheroes’ are really evangelists if you think about it. Evangelism is spreading the word of God. You are teaching to others that they may in turn take it to more people, the power of multiplicity. Evangelism gives the Word of God the ability to take flight to others. It reaches far beyond you and the number of people that you can touch just yourself just in the area you are. Matthew 10:16 - 17 ESV "but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And proclaim as you go, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand." Jesus said this to His disciples but it also rings true for us. We are to spread the Word of God and not hold it to ourselves. When we do not share the Word of God or act as if we are ashamed or embarrassed to be children of God, we are denying Him. Matthew 10:33, ESV "but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven."
We are all called to be disciples. We are all called to teach and be examples of God's love and grace. We are His living, breathing and walking examples and we must represent Him fully because as it has been said, we may very well be the only bible that some people ever read.
Know that as a child of God, you are constantly being watched and this is not a bad thing. Let those that watch you see an example of God. Let your life be a catalyst for change in someone else's life for if you are not inspiring change or growth in someone else you are truly missing the boat. Matthew 5:13, MSG "Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you loose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage."
Don't end up in the garbage pail of life. Be who God has called you to be and inspire change, growth and a desire for a relationship with God in others.
Be a God-Hero, that is what He has already created you to be.
