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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17261389-112799819987752680?l=mudpuppy100things.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17261389/posts/default/112799819987752680'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17261389/posts/default/112799819987752680'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mudpuppy100things.blogspot.com/2005/09/list.html' title='The List'/><author><name>Russell</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10166331359866514873</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='33' height='26' src='http://home.comcast.net/~russellhawkins/pictures/Russ.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
