Oh my sons and my daughters, I am calling to you and you hear my voice, because you know my voice. I say, I am your shepherd, and you know me, and you hear me, and you hear me calling you to deny yourselves and to take up your cross and to follow me. Oh, I am asking you to be willing to lay down your lives, and to count not your lives dear to yourselves, for what I have to offer is more than any of this earth’s riches. What I have to give to you is everlasting, and I call to you and you hear me, you hear me, you know my voice. I say, some of you are blind and some of you are deaf and you do not hear me, but I say, I say, I seek those who have open ears, whose eyes see and who are looking to me, who will long after me and who are hungry, who are thirsting after me. I say, do not be afraid, do not be afraid, do not be afraid!

I am going to lead you to places that you have never been. I am calling you to those places in me that you have never been. Yea, I say I am calling you to places in me that you have never been. Oh I am calling to you, I am calling to you, I am calling to you. Lay down your lives. You must crucify your flesh. And you must crucify those things in you that would keep you from following after me and believing in me and having the faith in me that I am calling you to have. Oh, but I say, and you hear, and you are listening, and you are hearing my voice, and you know, you know, you know. I am calling you to give up everything, so that you might obtain everything. Oh I say to you, follow after me, follow after me! For I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. You hear me—you know who you are—you hear me, you hear me, and I call, I call to you, I call to you gently, I whisper to you, and you hear and you are listening. Oh, I say, do not be afraid, do not be afraid, for in me you will find your joy. In me you will find everything you have longed for and I say, it is not a lie, it is true. Those things that you have dared to dream, oh I say to you, that there is that place in me. Come to me, come to me, and come to me and know me and do not fear, for I am calling to you, I am calling to you, I am calling to you, you are sons and daughters of me, and I say, I am a living God.

I speak to you, I say to you the time is short and the day draws nigh. Oh I say, prepare yourselves! Prepare yourselves. I am calling, and I am drawing out a remnant who will follow me and I will raise you up to be a part of a mighty army—oh, a mighty army! I am calling you, I am calling to you and I am giving you my Spirit, and I am giving you my Word, I have given you everything, I have given you all authority, and I am calling, for the time is short, the time is short—I say, the time is short. I will do a quick work. And I am looking and I am seeking, I am looking, I am looking for that remnant, I am drawing them together, I am knitting them together, oh, for they will be my mighty army. And I am speaking to you, you have heard my voice, you know me and I am speaking to you. You know who you are. I am speaking to you, I am speaking to you. Do not be afraid, do not be afraid to rise up and follow me. You must make a choice, you must make a choice.  Now is the time. Follow after me! Follow after me.
