Are YOU a Zombie for Jesus?

Beware the Living Dead!

In light of the recent headlines regarding instances of cannibalism breaking out across the country (Google it if you haven't heard), I keep hearing and reading references to "Zombies."

In recent years, there have been hit comedies about zombies and young people can be heard talking about zombies quite often. I recently saw some bullets for use during "Zombie Apocalypse" (CLICK HERE). We've even got deceased people on the voting roles!

What is a Zombie? By definition, the term refers to (in Voodoo) "the body of a dead person given the semblance of life, but mute and will-less, by a supernatural force, usually for some evil purpose." The word is also used in reference to a person whose behavior or responses are wooden, listless, or seemingly rote; an automaton.

Personally, I've been known to use the word in reference to the masses of the seemingly walking dead among us - the purposeless, space-wasting masses who are devoid of character, joy, empathy, concern for anybody but themselves. These zombies are merely going through the motions of life, living only for "the weekend" and those occasional moments of pleasure, most often merely exhibiting semblance of life when, in reality, they know very little of love, life, or a purpose-driven existence. They aren't in-tune with the world around them and its impact upon their own daily existence with many making their own condition worse through drugs and alcohol, desperately dependent upon the Government to tend to their needs, whether that involves being on Uncle Sam's hand-out list, or being locked away in a prison in order to get three meals a day and a roof over their heads. 

Sadly, many of these zombie-types can be found in churches across the globe, driven by every wind of Doctrine, bound in a religious trance to traditions while exhibiting a dogmatic allegiance to a particular group over the teachings and example established by Christ Jesus.

Truth is, a dead person who remains alive appears to be a perversion of Scripture. Paul used the oxymoron "Living Sacrifices" to refer to those who are Followers of Jesus. A sacrifice is a dead thing, correct? How can such a dead thing remain alive? Even when we consider the term "born again," doesn't it refer to the end of a life that has become regenerated?

Our God is "into" resurrections. Yes, He LOVES to bring dead things back to life. Whether it's a dying physical or spiritual condition, a dying relationship, a dying faith... He's waiting for US to make the move in His direction. 


Yes, Father can use Zombies who are sold-out to His Kingdom agenda.

Is that YOU?
