Oh my people, I have not abandoned you, I have not left you. Remember what I have spoken to you. I brought you here. Don’t give up the fight. You must remember that without faith it is impossible to please me, and some of you have lost your faith.

 

I have called you. Even now I am calling you. I have spoken to your hearts; have you not heard me? Yea, I say unto you, you have heard me, but many of you are afraid…afraid of the cost, of the sacrifice—but I have called you! I have given my life for you, what cost would be too much? Yea, rather you should count it as a privilege to take up your cross and follow me. I am calling you.

 

Many of you are confused by what you see and you’re wondering: Wherein is the power that He has promised us? I will have nothing else stand before me. I am the God who created heaven and earth, no other god will come before me. Cleanse yourselves, purify yourselves. I desire to pour my spirit into you, I desire to have a people who will be strong in my might. I will put my love in your heart for the lost. I weep over them, because they too are my children.

 

Take up your cross, follow me, for my promises are true. I am God I do not lie, I do not fail. I say to you, take up your cross, follow me, follow me, follow me! Trust in me, stand on my word, and know that with me it is true: all things are possible. With men these things are not so, but with me all things are. Try me, prove me!

 

I desire to speak life into this congregation, into this community. Go!  Do not be afraid. I will give you everything you have need of. I withhold no good thing from those who follow me. Know the fellowship of my suffering, know the power of my resurrection, and preach it to the lost. These are the last days. Time is short. Do not be faint. I desire to do a new thing in you. In yourselves you are not sufficient, look to me. You have doubted my promise, but I am God, and my word is truth. What I have said and spoken I am able to perform. But have faith in me, trust in me, believe in me. Without faith, it is impossible to please me.

 

Look to me, look to my word, for in my word you will find truth and hope, in my word your faith will be built. Know me, for I desire to do a new thing in you. Look to me. I told you that I would do a great work in your midst; the time is now. The time is now. I have heard your prayers and I am answering. Shake yourselves, stir up the gifts that I have given you. The time is now. Yea, I say, the time is now. There has been a trying of your faith, but I have heard your prayers. Have faith, do not doubt, for I am God and with me all things are possible. I am God, I am God, I am God. I am God and I call whomsoever I will. I am calling and I am speaking and the time is now. Do not doubt me, do not be afraid. Take up your cross and follow me. I am doing a new thing in your midst. Look to me, look to me. Humble yourselves; stay humble. Give me all glory and remember in me all things are possible.
