Sorry about the delay, folks. I got a new job in August and the transition was a bit hectic, but worth it. Anyway, I completed the CM Punk prayer project and am currently doing my first "Impossible" prayer project: Kim Kardashian.
We all know that Kim Kardashian is a reality TV star and extremely wealthy celebrity who became famous for being in the kind of homemade "movie" your parents would not want you to watch or star in. This would lead many to believe that she can't be reached by the gospel and that we shouldn't even try. I, however, must disagree because of her early Christian counterpart: Mary Magdalene.
Mary Magdalene is Jesus' most famous female disciple. Contrary to popular belief, she was not a prostitute (that was Mary, Lazarus' sister) and she and Jesus never married or had children. However, Jesus did cast seven demons out of her (Luke 8:2), which indicates that her lifestyle before she met him was probably not the greatest (Matthew 12:25). On top of that, she was clearly a woman with wealth, because she was one of Jesus' financial supporters during his earthly ministry (Luke 8:2-3). In other words, she was a rich lady with a less-than-admirable past. Sound familiar?
Like us, Kim Kardashian is a human being made in God's image whom He loves so much that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for her. He completely transformed the life of Mary Magdalene, who was her first-century equivalent, and He can do the same with Kim if she puts her faith in Him as well. I have already prayed fifteen minutes per day that she meets the same Savior who saved me, and will continue to do so for the rest of September.
"Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)
