                             Rise Up

Come, My children, and sit at My feet. Pour out your hearts before Me, 
for I Am Abba and I care for you. I will comfort you and strengthen you,
for it is time to rise up.

It is time to rise up because there is work to be done. My kingdom is at 
hand. Lost souls are waiting for a rescue. Don't you hear their cries for 
help? When you go out to rescue the lost, I will take care of all that 
concerns you. So look forward instead backward -- remember Lot's wife.

Apply My word to every situation in your life and watch the change begin.
My word is "now." The change is now. I Am a very present help in trouble,
so if you are dry, go to the wells and drink. Re-dig the wells if necessary.  
Go to the wells and drink.

Healing is on the way and joy comes with it. I will raise you up for My  
glory. My Holy Spirit is waiting to guide you; just ask. Just ask, and He 
is waiting to direct you. Just ask.

Get back on track. Get, put your focus back on Me. Put on the armor that I 
have given you. Stand and pray. Fight the good fight of faith, knowing it 
is I, the Lord your God, Who has given you the victory. I Am your victory.

Rise up and be the torch-bearer I that have called you to be. You are alive 
and well. Shake off the dust, rise up and go. Don't look at numbers. Take 
the kingdom one soul at a time!
