Casting Calls
…you timid and
afraid, O you of little faith? Matthew 8:26
• Slotted …
• Branded …
• Labeled …
Lights! Camera! Action! There
are people who live their life playing the role of a victim. No Auditions
Necessary. This part is open to anyone who is willing to play this substandard
character.
Qualifications:
People who have a persecution complex will be considered first. Those who have
the ability to self-victimize will be preferred over others.
I
remember when I taught school there would always be those students who thought
someone was “looking” at them. They always felt intimidated, victimized. They
were only being harassed by the demons within themselves.
As
Christians, the role of a victim is unacceptable. We don’t have to settle for
this inferior, second-rate position in life when God said, we are more than
conquerors (Romans 8:37). Victims are not conquerors.
The enemy wants us in a role that he can
direct. He doesn’t want us operating in the confidence of God. The devil will
lie to us and feed our spirit with fears. We are a threat to him when we step
over our phobias, and move forward in faith.
If
you see yourself as a victim, leave the stage at once. Don’t worry, the show
will go on without you. There’s always someone who is willing to play that
part. It’s usually someone who is desperately looking for acceptance.
Be
confident in faith to be the person that God has made you to be. Remember we
are the salt of the world. No one can stop the good plan God has for you. No
one but you that is. If being a victim is your problem, then get a new script;
better still change Directors.
Casting Calls:
Someone
willing to play the part of a victim.
Someone
willing to play the part of a CONQUEROR.
We Get to Choose!
