Sacred Armor: Devoted Fist levels stack with an armor bonus granted from a class that grants the character Improved Unarmed Strike.

Unarmed Damage: The unarmed damaged of a Devoted Fist stacks with unarmed damage from any class that grants the Devoted Fist Improved Unarmed Strike. If the Character has no levels of a class that grants them Improved Unarmed Strike, then they are treated as having the same unarmed damage as a monk equal to their Devoted Fist level.

Sacred Fist: Count unarmed strike as a favored weapon of the Devoted Spirit school. This applies for abilities and feats.

Sublime Training: The character can choose to advance their knowledge of maneuvers and stances as if they had advanced in one of their marital adept classes. They gain additional stances known, maneuvers known, and maneuvers readied or granted. If the character has trained in more then one Marital Adept class, they must choose one. In addition, the if the class does not have access to Devoted Spirit Maneuvers normally.

The maneuvers are treated as having come from the class that was advanced, and are refreshed, granted, or readied in the same manner as that class.

Devoted Focus(Defensive Stance) The Devoted Fist gains +2 to saving throws while in a Devoted Spirit Stance

Devoted Smite: Crusader and Devoted Fist levels stack to determine Smite damage, and number of times smite can be used per day.

Devoted Focus(Insightful Strike): The Devoted fist can add their wisdom bonus as a bonus to damage rolls when using a strike from the Devoted Spirit School.

Undying Devotion: Devoted Fist levels stack with Crusader levels to determine the amount of Steely Resolve the character has.

Improved Evasion: As Swordsage

Now...I'm worried that this is too powerful. Any way to make it interesting and yet not too powerful?

It doesn't look over powered it's a Crusader with extra bonuses. For the idea i suggest you make a requirement you need stunning fist, firery fist, and special abilty Ki Strike (magic). And can you be more clear on the armor? Can you wear armor with the abilty Sacred Armor? But it looks great overall :D .
