Denzel Washington may be known for
many of his gangster roles in movies like "Training Day" but the
actor is also adamant about sharing his love for Jesus Christ.In an interview
with GQ magazine, Washington opened up about his Christian values, telling the
publication that he made sure to read his Bible every day.
"I read from the Bible every
day, and I read my Daily Word," Washington revealed. "I read
something great yesterday. It said, 'Don't aspire to make a living. Aspire to
make a difference.'"
The Christian actor also told the
publication about his experience with feeling the Holy Spirit during a service
at the West Angeles Church of God in Christ.
"That was thirty years ago, at
the church I still attend. The minister was preaching, 'Just let it go.' I
said, 'I'm going to go with it.'"
The actor described a physical and
spiritual experience that he encountered when first feeling the Holy Spirit.
"And I had this tremendous
physical and spiritual experience. It did frighten me," Washington
revealed. "I was slobbering, crying, sweating. My cheeks blew up. I was
purging."
The experience frightened the actor
so much, he admitted to calling his mother.
"It was too intense. It almost
drove me away," Washington said. "I called my mother, and she said I
was being filled with the Holy Spirit. I was like, 'Does that mean I can never
have wine again?'"
The multiple Oscar award winner, who
has appeared in films since his 1977 debut, has remained vocal throughout the
years about his Christian faith. In a previous interview with Beliefnet,
Washington spoke about the importance of his spirituality in not only his life,
but also his career.
"Spirituality is important in
every aspect of my life," Washington said. "I mean, that's why I'm
here. That's what I've been blessed to do." Story culled from Christian
today.
Dear readers for you to survive and
be successful in this world, you need the word of God, remember Matt 4:4 (KJV):
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth
of God. Hosea 4:6 (KJV):My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:
because thou hast rejected knowledge . knowledge here
means the word of God. Start reading your bible as from today and your life
would never remain the same.
