                          The Gathering

 
I took you out of the world, and out of the place you served so 
diligently, so that I could transform you undistracted. I called you 
away from something that I am finished with, to add you to something 
new that I am doing in the Earth. Though others did not understand, 
I told you to come away, and you followed.
 
There are countless others who have been prepared just like you, also 
in this state of isolation; you have not been alone as you supposed. 
This time in your cave is ending, and you will be coming out.  You 
have grown accustomed to this place, but this has just been a place 
to prepare you to be sent out empowered and joined to others like you.
 
I am gathering My bride together in unity and in power. You will no 
longer be known as "this," or "that," but you will all walk as one. 
There will be no more walls, or ways that keep you divided.  

Rejoice now, as I add you to the group of others that I have refined in 
My holy fire. New wine is being poured out, and there is much work to do 
ahead. It will be a great joy for you to finally find your place in this 
world. Continue to walk as I have taught you, and keep your eyes fixed 
upon Me.
