Stepping Out in Faith: The Inspiring Story of Acie Burleson, Who Carries the Cross for Jesus

Acie Burleson literally Carries the Cross for Jesus!



As a Christian, I'm always inspired by stories of people who step out in faith to follow Jesus Christ. That's why I was so excited to interview Acie Burleson, a man who literally carries a cross around town to win people to Jesus.

I first met Acie at the Jesus Jam Texas event, where he was praising the Lord in the pouring rain. His passion for Christ was evident to everyone there. When I learned that he now walks around carrying a cross, I knew I had to hear his story.

Acie shared with me how about 8 years ago, soon after he was saved, God spoke to him and put it on his heart to be a "walking person." He felt called to walk and carry the cross, but he struggled with doubt and fear. 

It wasn't until 7 years later that Acie finally fully surrendered to God's call. He started carrying the cross and living by faith, trusting God to provide for him, his wife, and their four children. And God has been faithful - supplying all their needs as Acie obeys Him.

As Acie carries the cross, he sees how it impacts people. Some cry, some get angry, and some are drawn to Jesus. One of the coolest testimonies he shared was about a young man who approached him at a GMC dealership. Acie had followed the Spirit's leading to go there and wait, not knowing why. The young man asked about the cross, and Acie was able to lead him to salvation right there on the spot. Praise God!

Acie's message is simple but profound: pray and be ready for Jesus' return. He's been sharing this message for 8 years, even when he wasn't carrying the cross. 

Acie's story is a powerful example of what it looks like to step out in faith and follow Jesus, no matter the cost. May we all be inspired to surrender fully to Christ and obey His leading in our lives. 

Let's keep Acie and his family in our prayers as he continues carrying the cross and sharing the Gospel. If you'd like to follow his journey and support him, I've included a link to his Facebook page.

Remember, Jesus is coming back soon. Let's be ready and boldly share His love with the world, just like Acie Burleson.
