I am part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made—I am a disciple of His. I won’t look back, let up, 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, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, worldly-talking, cheap 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 faith, lean in His presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer and I labor with power.
My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, hired away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, pander at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity.
I won’t give up, shut up, let up, until I have preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up and stayed 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 to claim His own, He’ll have no problems recognizing me. My banner will be clear!

All I can say is AMEN! B4T
Isn’t this a repost? Looks familiar. And I stand in agreement with the Pudgeman – AMEN!
Dude that pumps me up more than the theme song from Rocky!
You are very observant! Kinda makes me smile to think someone would remember a post from 2005.
It was also part of my Mud Puppy 100 Things post from a few years ago.
I did not write it. I’ve had a copy in my bible since the early 90′s. It’s the most inspirational thing I’ve ever read and it becomes more relevant to me with each new day!
Man oh man…that was awesome. Doing a lil’ copy and paste action over to word to print it off too. Good work on the re-post. Can’t think of any other way to get the archives to be read either. Keep this kinda stuff coming. Great post.
ive heard that somewhere. from a band who came to my church. but i cant remember who it was
This is the most inspirational piece I have ever read. I shared this with an outreach group in 1996 and it touched a lot of people. I then fell away from the Lord for 16year but now I,m back for good. I have finally found it again and I am spreading this powerful piece to all I can in hopes that the Lord will use it to change many lives. Don,t ever let yourselves get comfortable, be a worrior for our for our wonderful God. WE OWE HIM THAT MUCH! God Bles
It was written by Henry B. Iring, and I agree it’s very inspiring and represents a conviction we can all have
It was actually written by Dr. Bob Moorehead, whom I have personally spoken to about this very creed. He is the original author.
Great message and fuel to begin another week living our faith!
In fact, Dr. Bob Moorehead collected the testimony of a young Christian man from Rwanda that, back in 1980, was forced by his tribe to either renounce Christ or face certain death. He refused to renounce Christ, and he was killed on the spot. The night before he had written this commitment which was found in his room.
Aw, this is a truly excellent put up. In theory Let me produce in this way moreover – taking point in time as well as real effort and hard work to have a superior content…although what can I point out…WHEN I put things a fantastic amount but not find a way to get some thing executed.
