Stand

I’m part of the fellowship of the unashamed.
I have the witness of the indwelling presence and the power of the Holy Spirit Who is able to keep me from falling and present me faultless before the Throne of His Glory.

I have stepped over the line.
The decision has been made.
I’m a disciple of His.

I won’t look back, letup, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed.
My present makes sense.
My future is secure

I’m finished and done with low-living, sight-walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, “chincy” giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity.

I don’t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded.

I now live by presence, lean by faith, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My face is set.

My gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear.

I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded, or delayed.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.

I won’t give up, shut up, let up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the Cause of Christ.

I am a disciple of Jesus!

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me.

And when He comes for His own, He will have no problem, recognizing me,-
my colors will be clear.
