                       The New Song

There is a new song coming forth.  A song conceived in heaven and birthed 
into the earth.  It is a living, breathing song of great praise, of great 
passion, and of great price.  Those willing to embrace & endure the spasms 
of labor are the ones chosen to bring it forth. This is a song like no 
other.  This is a song that not only brings Heaven to the earth, but a song 
that takes what is on earth into Heaven.  You can not sing this song, you 
must become the song.  It is the New Song.

Offer yourselves up as a living sacrifice of praise.  Cast aside your 
thoughts and your feelings; push through your situations and your 
circumstances; and raise up the banner of praise that lies within you.  
Affirm Who I Am.  Affirm the works of My Hand.  Tell Me what I have done for 
you.  Tell me what I am going to do for you.  Allow yourselves to dream!  
You think you ask for too much, but I say you do not ask enough!  I love to 
prove My tender kindness.  Do not limit My hand towards you.

Praise My Name and I reveal what I AM in you.  Praise My Position and you 
are seated in heavenly places.  Praise My Might and you possess power to 
move mountains.  Praise My Majesty and you are Priests and Kings.  Praise My 
creation and your spoken word makes miracles a reality.  Praise My Wisdom 
and I give you the key that unlocks the hidden truths in My Word.  Praise My 
compassion and watch healing flow from your hands.  Praise My salvation and 
receive deliverance from all powers of darkness.  Praise My victory and the 
river of Joy will overtake your life.  For I Am all things.  Praise Me and I 
Am will show forth all things.

To know who I Am, is to know your own heart.  For I have hidden the secrets 
of heaven in your heart.  You must Praise through the layers of the world to 
the center of your being.  You must press in and press through until your 
Praise BREAKS THROUGH to the hidden treasures of your heart.  It is there 
that I will meet with you.  It is there that I will release all things.  It 
is there that we become one.

You must open your hearts to Me.  You must praise Me with all of your 
strength.  Even when I come to you, KEEP PRAISING ME!  Keep praising Me 
until there is nothing left of you.  Keep Praising Me until you are empty 
and become hidden in My heart.  Praise Me with every last ounce of strength 
within you.  Then and only then are you ready to come to Me and find rest.  
It is in that moment that I can be your strength.  It is in that moment that 
you are ready to leave your home.  And it is in that moment that you are 
ready for Me to take you to My home.

How often you have stopped praising Me when I have come into your midst.  
You invite Me in and receive the gifts I have brought, but you have not 
allowed Me to bring you to the source.  You have taken what I freely give, 
but you have not asked what I would like in return.  Now I tell you, I 
desire to take you to My house!  I desire for you to stop being satisfied 
with Me coming into your house.  I desire for you to leave this world behind 
and enter into a kingdom where there is no time, no limit, no lack and no 
need.  There is only you and I, and we are one.

It is here in my house that you become the Song.  For I Am the Song.  And it 
is My Voice that sings it.  Are you willing to silence your voice to hear My 
voice?  For I long to sing to My Bride!  I long to reveal what is to come.  
It is the New Song that reveals My heart towards My Bride.  I am searching 
for one that is willing.  I am searching for one that is ready.  I am 
searching for one that is asking.  I am searching for one that is PRAISING 
ME!

I ask you now, do you want to be the one?  If your heart is crying out YES! 
Yes Lord!  I am here, choose me!  Then it is done.  You were chosen before 
the foundations of the world for this moment in time.  I have chosen you to 
bring forth the New Song.  Open your mouth and open your heart.  Let the 
treasure of heaven flow out from deep within.  Do not fight it, just let go 
and watch where the Song will take you.  Listen to what I sing to you, My 
precious and My chosen.

No longer will you sing in the secret place, for the courts of Heaven are 
open to whosoever will!  This song is for My people and for My bride.  Go 
and release forth this New Song into all the earth for all nations and all 
people to hear.  It is the Song of Salvation!  It is the Song of 
Deliverance!  It is the Song of Prosperity!  It is the Song of Victory!  For 
I Am all things.  I am the New Song.
