                       A New Nation

The tests and trials are sent to prove you.  The task I have for you is 
great, so there is not room for anything that would hinder or cause disunity.
You must be totally devoted and committed to Me.   

I am requiring a new level of intimacy from you, a level that you have not 
experienced before.  So, draw close to Me.  I require greater sacrifice from
you.  This is a season of pressing in.

The previous test will prepare you for the next test -- this is a time of 
My perfecting.  I will challenge every weak area to make you a strong and
unstoppable people.  The gates of hell will not prevail against My church,
My church shall be triumphant.

I will guide you in the coming days, so find your rest in Me.  I will use 
the lame, for they shall walk.  I will use the blind, for they shall see.  
I will use the infirm, for they shall be made whole.  I will do all this 
for My glory -- for I am God and I am able to perform it.  

I am birthing a new nation of believers who will fight, unafraid to die for 
Me.  They will be strong and will not be moved by the works of the enemy.  
Seek Me, My people, for I have need of you.  Delight in Me, clothe yourself 
in praise and worship.
