That's Why We Praise Him...

El Shaddai...All-Sufficient One, Lord God Almighty
El Elyon...The Most High God
Adonai...Lord, Master
Yahweh or Jehovah...Lord, Jehovah
Jehovah Nissi...The Lord My Banner, The Lord my Miracle
Jehovah-Raah...The Lord My Shepherd
Jehovah-Rapha...The Lord that Heals
Jehovah Shammah...The Lord Is There
Jehovah Tsidkenu...The Lord our Righteousness
Jehovah Mekoddishkem...The Lord who Sanctifies You, The Lord Who makes Holy
El Olam...The Everlasting God, The God of Eternity, The God of the Universe, The God of Ancient Days
Elohim...God, Judge, Creator
Qanna...Jealous, Zealous
Jehovah Jireh...The Lord will Provide
Jehovah-Shalom...The Lord is Peace
Jehovah Sabaoth...The Lord of Hosts, The Lord of Powers

During those times in which you are overwhelmed...your boat is swamped...and threatening to go under...turn to God. When words of prayer fail you...think upon God...who he is...and why you can trust him. Trust him...especially during the storms of life.

My Colors Will Be Clear

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm 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 seeing, smooth knees, color-less dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, "chinchy" giving and dwarfed goals.

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

My face is set, my gait is fast, my destination is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few. My Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded 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.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of the One that gave me life, drew the line in blood for me in the hour of my destiny.

I am one of Christ's remnant people. I belong to Him and none other. All I do to bring this life to another is done because of that blood covenant poured out for me.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. I must share will all that one more might hear and be drawn from the flaming darkness that longs to consume. Reach for another, touch but one more!

Until that moment...He will have no problem in recognizing me- my colors will be clear!!!

Not only are the words inspiring but so is the man behind them. The above letter was written by a Pastor in Africa who was undergoing severe persecution. On the eve of his execution he sat down and wrote the above note.
