                           My Witness

You are My purchase and you are My possession, and I am sending you out 
as My witness. I have chosen you, and I have commissioned you to testify 
of Me. Will you be open to My leading and allow Me to work My glory 
through you?

I know that it is easy for you to get caught up in your own agenda and 
in the demands of your day. But I say to you--do not automatically go 
about your day's business as if it is your own and not Mine. Instead 
look to Me for My direction; keep your eyes and your ears open for the 
opportunities that I will bring to you. Treat each day as an opportunity 
to be My witness, and watch and see how I will break into your day to 
accomplish My purposes through you.

You are indeed My witness, and you carry a message of very good news. It 
should not matter if I send you to a distant and remote place, or if I 
just send you across the street. You are My witness where ever you go--a 
living testimony of My redemption and of My goodness and of My love.
So, be prepared to shine for Me in every situation and in every place
where you find yourself.

Dear one, I want you to live each day as if you are on a mission from
Me--keep your eyes open to My leading and your ears open to My voice.
Look for My Spirit's leading as He breaks into your daily activities, 
and be diligent to obey Him. 

Do not be afraid to speak the words that He puts into your mouth. 
Likewise, do not be afraid to back them up with demonstrations of My 
power. Heal the sick that I send your way, pray for them with a sincere
expectancy that I will indeed heal to confirm the words that I give you 
to speak. Do not be afraid to pray for me to multiply resources and to 
meet needs in this time of great economic upheaval. I love the Lost and 
I want to meet their needs and show them that I can indeed take care of 
them if they will trust in Me.

Again I say to you--you are on a mission for Me even as you go about
your day's activities. So look for My leading and do not hesitate to
step into the opportunities that I bring you way. 

I desire that My name be glorified on this earth and that all men might 
come to know Me. This is very important to Me, and I am allowing you
to co-labor in this with Me. I could have chosen to send My angels from 
Heaven to carry this message, but that would not have given you an 
opportunity to participate with Me in what the Father is doing. That is
why I did not give this calling to them--I gave it to you instead. And
if you don't do it, then it goes undone, and it is something that is
extremely important to Me.

So dear one, raise up to the calling that I have given you, to be a
witness and a testimony of My glory. Do this in season and out of 
season. Think of yourself as one who has been carefully chosen and
sent, for I am indeed sending you as My representative to the Lost.
