The Fellowship of the Unashamed

What ever happened to that bold faith that dared to believe God? Where did the audacity to take God at His Word dwindle away to? Hebrews 11:6 reveals that it is impossible to please God without faith. God functions through the faith of believers. It’s time for Christian believers in the US to walk boldly in their faith and make stands on Christian Principles that they are not willing to waver on.

I took the following pledge several years ago, as I renew my commitment I invite you to join me.

“I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit
Power. The dye has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised,
regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by
patience, lift by prayer and labor by power.

My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my
way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear.
I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of
mediocrity.

I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed
up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am a
disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes.

And when He comes to get His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My colors will be clear for ‘I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.’ (Romans 1:16)”
By Dr. Bob Moorehead

I invite you to become a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. This is where I dare to walk in my divine purpose without consideration of external approval. This is where I decide to boldly pursue the vision that leads to the fulfillment of my destiny. This is where I choose to execute a radical faith that refuses to be constrained by circumstances. This is where I decide to step out of the boat and walk on water. This is where I begin to pray prayers that are not confined to my limited perspicacity of God’s omnipotence. There is where I begin to be defined by my identity in Christ instead of being imprisoned by the random opinions of others.

I refused to be bound by the mandates of mediocrity and mundane living. I refuse to be captivated by a culture that is conformed to the ways of the world. I refuse to be shackled to the table of compromise and complacency. I refuse to be dominated by the need for social acceptance or relegated to the post of subpar living.

I have made up in my mind to walk this walk with an unabashed faith that refuses to receive anything contrary to the Word of God. I have become committed to living at the height of my gifted potential. I choose to walk in the power of my anointed purpose, living each moment for God and trusting his power and love to act on my behalf. I choose to pray with audacity and to expect the impossible on a daily basis. I will not be deterred by delay. I will not be hindered by hatred, and I will not be bound by bigotry.

This is the time for the true believer to step forward to take up his/her cross and march boldly toward their destiny.

I dare you to move into the “realm of the radical”. I dare you to be radical in your mission, radical in your pursuit of your vision, radical in declaring your dreams, radical in your prayer life. The God we serve is a radical God and he performs the impossible through radical faith. The clarion is sounding for believers to march forward and take the land. Will you be one of the few that answer the call?

May God bless and keep you.
