Pledge of Commitment

         We, the children of David, take a stand this day. As we rally together, let His banner over us be love. Standing arm in arm and shoulder to shoulder, we commit ourselves to love. By the grace of God and with all Heaven's power behind us, we choose to shed the weights and the sins that attempt to hold us down.
         This day, standing on the Word of God and in the power of prayer, we rededicate our lives to love one another as Jesus loves us. We are determined to fight the Enemy of love with all our might, and by the white-hot power of the Spirit of God, to overcome our weaknesses, our compromises, and all roadblocks to unity.
         With the help of Jesus our King, we take a stand to shed the weights of disunity, jealousy and selfish living; of discord and bitterness, criticalness and self-righteousness; of unwillingness to forgive, of compromise, indifference, lack of communication, and all stumbling blocks that cross our paths.
         Today we avail ourselves of the refreshing, renewing power of Heaven! With sword in hand we answer the call to greater commitment, greater dedication, greater understanding and compassion for those in need, greater hunger for the Word of truth, greater yieldedness to wise counsel, greater vigilance in prayer, and greater love.
         On this we stand firm. By the grace of God we can do no other. United we march on in faith, believing, as we pledge from this day forward to no longer merely preach the message but to live our love. With our eyes firmly fixed on Heaven, we are determined in our hearts to overcome as we rest our cause on His Holy Word.
         In the Name of Jesus, and by His saving grace, we make this pledge, as we call on our loving Lord to fill us, strengthen us, renew us, empower us, and set our hearts ablaze this day with His unfailing power of love!
