NOTHING TO LOSE
OK. Last year I got a prophetic word while watching American Idol. I thought that it was strange then... this year,..another..stranger still BUT ...Truthful!I am captivated by snippet of scripture: "...and loved not their lives unto the death."
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Revelation 12:11
Then, one week, as I was watching American Idol, Crystal Bowersox, the young lady from Ohio, was singing and those words manifested over and over in my spirit. What can that mean? As she sang I heard different words in my spirit: "...and they loved not their lives unto the death."
I realized that I was getting an impression that Miss Crystal was competing as ONE WHO HAS NOTHING TO LOSE! She has a BELIEF that---Yes, she can win, BUT she cannot lose.
As I considered this strange parallel between Revelation 12:11 and Crystal, I began to see that while she is investing her considerable time and talent into the competition, she has NOT INVESTED HERSELF.
No, that SELF is kept for another,and is not to be given away. Obviously she gives herself to her daughter and boyfriend, her father and friends---but she is not giving pieces of herself away in order to win a prize.
In doing so, Crystal has ALL of Herself to put into her art and song--- which to me---and this may be an extrapolation---is somehow worshipful.
Crystal Bowersox is NOT going to Lose Herself to American Idol or any other lesser thing.
I think that is FIERCE.
I Love that!
I appreciate the parabolic image of Revelation 12:11 that I get when I hear her sing.
I want to live like that.
She has Nothing to Lose.
I hope she wins!
Jesus, let my all be IN YOU, and I have nothing to lose!
"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21
Love and Jesus
