HOLD FAST




Sisters,



I was so blessed by the teaching received last weekend in Charlotte at the Living Proof conference with Beth Moore, my notes are overflowing and I've barely had time to review them this week.



I do plan to blog some of her major points here in the next week, but in the meantime wanted to share these words. At the end of the conference, we paired off (all 9400 of us!) and recited these words to one another. Our Seacoast Sister Bonnie Wallace wrote to Living Proof this week and got a copy of the commissioning. I share it with you here, knowing that the words are powerful and God-given...whether you read them aloud in the quiet of your home or stand face to face with an army of princess warriors.



Was particularly reminded of why my "Crown" finding yesterday was so God-timed with the line I had just read last weekend referring to it. Enjoy and be Blessed. Debbie










Charlotte Commissioning








My Dear Sister




Your God brought you here




To hear two loud words:




HOLD FAST!




When the earth quakes around you





And the flood waters rise





Hold Fast to Jesus





He is your praise





He will never do you wrong





Today, He calls you back to your feet





And back to your journey





Up and Resume, Dear Sister!





Your Promised Land awaits you





But you better be warned





The devil’s not gonna like it





Be strong and courageous





Stand your ground





Fight the good fight





Until your hand freezes to your sword





Hold on to what you have





Let no one take your crown





Until you cast it at Jesus’ feet





For the Lord IS your Life





Until you see His Face





Let me hear you say





H.O.L.D.F.A.S.T.





God has set His Love upon me!

I can't wait to hear more about what you learned at the conference. I was really hoping to go, but wasn't able to. I love the commissioning statement!
