Martyr's Letter

I heard this being read at the hillsong conference. It was incredible! It dug straight into my heart!

It is so powerful to you and I hope that it also speaks to you!

This was found among the things of a young African pastor in Zimbabwe after he was martyred. 

I'm part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His and I won't look back, slow down, back away, or be still. 

My past is redeemed. My present makes sense. My future is secure. I'm done and finished with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I dont hhave to be right, or first, or tops, or praised, or rewarded. I live by faith, lean on His presence, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by Holy Spirit Power. 

My face is set, my gait is fact, my goal is heaven. My road may be narrow, my way rough, my companions few, but my guide is reliable and my mission is clear.

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

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

I wont give up, shut up, or 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 give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. And when He does come for his own, He'll have no problems recognizing me.

My colors will be clear!!!

My wish is that one day I will have a faith that powerful and a passion that full of fire!

I love you all!
