Awake

This Word is for my church..

My beloved church, I have spoken to you in times past of the mighty outpouring of my spirit that is to come. I have given the requirements and the means by which I desire to move in these last days. But what I have not revealed is when I plan on doing this. That is because it depends upon my church. For you see, many think that it is in my hands, but it is not, I have placed it in your hands, you can quicken or lengthen the time.

My people have cried out for MORE of my SPIRIT and MORE of my GLORY and more of MY POWER and yet they don't seem to know what to do with what I have already given them. This saddens me, for they do not seem to understand my ways. It is indeed time for my church to rise and become my voice in the nations and yet they wait, they wait for me to do something..
but what? What are my people waiting for? Do you not know me and my ways, I ask... Do you not know me and my ways? How can I move in a great and mighty way when my church will not let me.. They hold me back, they hinder me and they restrain my outpourings.

Oh how I wait for the people of prayer to see, to know, and to say!! For all that is to be done between now and my time to come will be done by my people of prayer..They know me, they know my ways, they understand my workings..Arise, Oh Church, daughter of Zion, and be what I have called you to be.. Arise oh daughter of Zion and let your face be seen in the nations and peace shall come upon the hearts of the people. Let it be known that I am a God of forgiveness, and I have a heart of compassion and I will wait and let it take as long as it must but Oh! Church! if you only knew that you were at the helm of this move you would AWAKE and let me bring you home..But alas, you sleep!
