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 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 turn back, let up, slowdown, 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, fight-walking, mood knees, colorless dreams, pained visions, worldly-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, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded.  I now live by faith, lean on His Presence, walk by patience, am uplifted by prayer, and I labor with power. 

My faith is set.  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, lured away,  turned back, or delayed.  I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the enemy, or ponder at the pool of popularity.  I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up, because of Christ, and that's 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 recognizing me.  My banner will be clear...

 I hope this is a blessing to all that read this.

 This was read by a brother named Ned Iverson, who is 81 years old, and I love what he said.

 Sincerely, Nathan Miller.
