This article I copied off a cassette Tape from Bro.Howard Caroll's Church in Manchester, Tn.
May it be a blessing, Nathan Miller.
Greetings in Jesus
Name;
Last night I listened to a tape,and
I
heard
something interesting about a Pastor
in
Africa that had been killed for His Faith in Jesus Christ,and I
have
sent
this to you as a blessing. This
note
was found in his office after he was killed,and here it
is.....
My
Banner Is Clear !
I am part of a fellowship
unashamed..I have the Holy Spirit Power,the
has
been cast.I have stepped
over
the line.The decision has been made..I am a Disciple of His.I
wont
turn
back,let up,slowdown,back
away,be
still.My past is redeemed.My present makes semse.My future
is
secure.I'm finished and
done
with
low-living,fight walking,mood knees,colorless
dreams,pained
visions,worldy talking,cheap
giving,and
dwarfed
goals. I no longer need prosperity,possessions,plotted
promotions,or popularity. I don't
have to be
right,
first, tops, reconized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now
live
by
Faith, lean on His Presense,walk
by
patience, and uplifted by prayer, and I labor with power. My Faith
is
set, my
gate is past.My goal is
heaven.
My road is narrow. My way is rough. My companions are few, my
is
reliable. My mission is
clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned
detules
or delayed. I will not
flinch
in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the
enemy,
ponder
at the pool of popularity, or
(Some
words I can't make out), I wont give up, shut up, let up, until
I
have
stayed up, stored up, prayed
up,
paid up, preached up, because of Christ, and thats the way I feel. I
am
a
Disciple of Jesus. I must go
until
He comes. Give until I drop. Preach until all know, and work until
He
stops
me,and when He comes for His Own, He will have no problem
me. My
Banner Will Be Clear...(Unquote).
I hope this is a blessing to all
that read this.
This was read by A Brother
called,"Ned Iverson, who is 81 years old,and
love
what he said.
Sincerely,Nathan
Miller.
