I used to work in the inner city of Chicago and Seattle and I lived and hung out in some of the nastiest places in Dallas…. one question that always bothered me…
Why do men wear outlandish expensive Jewelry? Even if you can pull it off and it looks good… what is the real hidden reason behind it.
Wearing expensive jewelry as a man has its many possibilities. But wearing expensive ostentatious loud and bulky bling has a full spectrum of ideals behind it… especially if you wear it down in any rough and tumble inner city. What would cause a person/ even a gangbanger to do this?
Simply enough: You have to have the look to pull it off… You typically know if you have the look- if you are not sure if you have the look… You don’t have the look. Secondly you have to be able to afford it. Wearing that type of bling says you got some type of major side hustle going on. You been spittoon rhymes or selling dimes… but you got something working. But the biggest reason you may wear it is you are telling the world I am just bad enough and mean enough to protect it if you wanna try to come and get it. Its your BA calling card if you will. It is saying, I got the skills and the boys to back this up- so don’t try me.
Think of your spiritual life in those terms. When you walk out the door and you are swagging the Holy Spirit, you know - you are talking about Jesus, praying, giving him glory and making him known. Sharing the gospel, going out of your way to find people to pray for…
What would give you the guts to do that?
You know you got the skills and the ghost to back you up.
What does the Holy spirit do for us as believers?
Well here are just a few from the scriptures.
He is our helper
He is our power
He is our transformer
He is our teacher
He is our gift giver
He is our love giver
He is our built in evangelist
He is our prayer partner
He produces the fruits of the spirit (love joy peace long-suffering, hope, mercy, grace etc…
He give us a prayer language
He gives us power
Why do we as men walk with such confidence in God? Because we got the ghost and the power to back it up!
Walk loud, pray bold, speak plain and live outrageously on fire for God!
