"Preaching, Modeling & God's Fireflies"
Arise Magazine with Miranda Nelson, Pasadena, CA
Over the last four years, Miranda has treated every photo shoot and runway contract as an opportunity to release the Kingdom of light.
Have you ever watched fireflies? These small creatures radiate light in darkness. In fact, that is the only time when you see their light – in the dark of night. Christ-filled Believers, like the firefly, can and should shine in the midst of the darkness of this world. Yet many often avoid doing so, fearing contamination and defilement.
Others, however, enthusiastically step into the darkness of the world with their focus and goals set on the gold and the glory. Being weak in their faith and moral standards, they end up embracing destructive worldly activities. How do we boldly step into darkness as the light and the influencer, rather than becoming a fallen beacon by being the influenced? There is a way to walk uncompromised in this world – to be "in the world but not of the world."
Miranda Nelson, an uncompromised shining light, both preaches from the pulpit as an itinerant minister with her husband Jerame and works as a professional model in Hollywood. Some might ask, "How can you do both?" Miranda understands who she is in Christ: a daughter of the King of Glory. She has, through intimacy with the Holy Spirit, cultivated a lifestyle of prayer, purity, and power. She refuses to be moved by the world's standards in the modeling industry, choosing rather to be a pure voice and an uncompromised vessel for Christ to move through in the midst of a contaminated environment.
Miranda hasn't always been a model. The Lord spoke to her in dreams and confirmed His desire for her to be in the modeling world as one of His influencers. She chose through faith and obedience to walk through doors and step into the industry. When God calls you, He gives grace for it.
This young lady courageously models God's love and righteousness in the midst of an industry filled with vain beauty and competition. As Christians, we are not called to silence and invisibility; rather, we are empowered to manifest the love and truth of God through our lives, actions, and words. Miranda effectively bears the fruit of these actions and attributes.
Over the last four years, Miranda has treated every photo shoot and runway contract as an opportunity to release the Kingdom of light. She embraces Jesus as her focus and invites the Holy Spirit to give her opportunities to witness and demonstrate His love.
This young, faith-filled woman is not afraid to stand up for what she believes. When Miranda was asked in her second interview with her runway coach, "What about lingerie? Will you take those jobs?" she simply replied, "No," as her coach stood dumbfounded. He explained that she would be turning down the highest paying opportunities. Unmoved by fame and fortune, Miranda told the coach, "Yeah, but I'm not in it for money; I'm in it to be an influencer." After thinking about her response for a moment, he told Miranda, "Hmm. That's really cool. I want to influence people, too." When you stand up for what you believe in, people respect you for it. Her coach respected her for her stand and she has never been short of work.
Miranda has had opportunities to prophesy over makeup artists, interpret dreams for hair stylists, and minister healing miracles to photographers and others on the set.
One time, Miranda went to a photo shoot and on arrival discovered that the photographer suffered with muscular dystrophy. His entire right leg was limp and he explained that his muscles were increasingly weakened and in pain every day. She shared hope with him and at the end of the photo shoot, she asked if she could pray. He immediately agreed but feared that it would not work for him.
The bold model simply told him that God loved him and that they should just give it a try. After she laid her hand on his shoulder and commanded the muscular dystrophy to leave and his muscles to be rebuilt, the man reacted in ecstatic shock because the pain and weakness had completely left! Miranda watched as he walked across the parking lot without a single limp in his step. This medically "incurable" disease was instantly healed by the love and power of a supernatural God who adores working through His people. The man was so touched that his eyes welled up with tears. The world is hungry for genuine encounters with a God who loves them.
On another occasion, Miranda and her husband Jerame prayed at a photo shoot for a makeup artist who had a torn tendon in her shoulder and couldn't lift her arm. The woman was immediately healed and it opened up the door for Jerame to speak with the photographer on the set about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As a result, the photographer changed his mindset about God. He had been abused by his pastor uncle and hated God as a result. From that day forth, the man was willing to step foot in the Church again and give God another try.
The photographer's change of heart then opened the door for Miranda to also speak with the makeup artist and show her that Christians aren't all "haters." The makeup artist, who was not yet saved, had been condemned by Christians in the past, so she had wanted nothing to do with God. After receiving her miracle that day on set, and hearing the message of the love of Christ, she was also ready to reach out to God.
Miranda is truly a woman on the frontlines in the arts and entertainment industry. God is calling you too, no matter what field you might be drawn to and no matter what environment you live in. Like Miranda, as you prepare your heart to be a voice and vessel of love, truth, and purity for Christ, you too will become a great light in dark places for His glory. Hmm, maybe women on the frontlines are God's fireflies?
