I Am a Believer Posted: 01 Mar 2011 09:46 AM PST I am a believer. I’ve entered a fellowship of disciples of The Anointed One, The Savior of the World, The I AM. We battle as one unit, pressing on with force against the darkness of this world to shine the light that has been entrusted to us by our King. We fight wars with peace, wrath with gentleness, injustice with righteousness, hate with love, greed with giving, slavery with freedom, pride with humility, lust with cleanliness, sloth with desire. I worship the Eternal God whose glory is above all things this earth can provide, and I will steadfastly follow the path laid before me. I am redeemed. My past is buried and my future is risen. No longer am I bound by the shackles that have kept me on the ground, I now soar on wings like eagles. My friends think I am insane, but my brothers join me in claiming the Name. My sin is my sorrow but my God is my joy. I am washed clean by the unending flow of love that pours from the breath of the Almighty and by the blood of the Lamb who was crushed for my iniquities. He changed my name and gave me new life. I am obsessed. I no longer desire the wants of this world, but I crave the will of the Holy One. I will study until there is nothing to learn, preach until every ear has heard, pray until no words are left, give until I am empty, and yearn for the day when my Savior returns. I refuse to wander in the wilderness of mediocrity or settle for the idolatry of my flesh as a means of gratification, but I am thirsty for even a glimpse of the glory of my Creator. I am unmoved. I do not waver in the face of oppression, but I stand on the Rock. My enemy cannot move me, buy me, derail me, or lure me away from my Messiah. My roots are deep and my foundation is secure, resting on the 66 book love letter given to me by my Father. Though my knees may become weak and I feel like crumbling, I will remain upright knowing that I will be restored and renewed into an even more beautiful creation. If  Satan himself brings me to the highest mountain and offers me all the kingdoms of this world, I will proudly proclaim that my aim is Heaven and my possessions are not my own. I stand firm on the hope that when I reach the narrow gate my Redeemer will say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” by Brandon Smith "Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important." – C.S. Lewis Filed under: Testimony
