Take My Hand
-----

Children, you desire to see Me move in My power and in My glory and that is a good thing, for I also desire this.

Some of you desire very much for Me to use you in this capacity..
*in physical healing
*in deliverance
*in the working of signs and wonders

Again this is a good thing.

But know this, that you must walk holy before Me if you desire to do these things with Me.

Many of you have prayed, "Lord, Here I am, please use me." And you expected the glory to come forth. But instead testing and tribulation have come forth; and trials have increased about you on every side. And you have been wondering what has been happening.

Children, don't you know I must prepare you before I can use you? I must work My holiness in you. I must transform your character to be more line Mine.

Do not shrink back from this time of refinement. Allow Me to remove the chaff and to purify you. The flesh must die, the carnal desires and motivations must be replaced with a sincere seeking to do **only** My will.

Do NOT resist me if you desire for me to use you. For I cannot use you in a carnal state. I am going to bring forth a wave of HOLINESS and that which is unpure will not be able to stand as I begin to manifest Myself in this manner.

Children, I want you to be able to stand.

That means that self-seeking must go. That means that complaining and murmuring must go. That means that assuming evil of your brothers and sisters must go. That means that seeking your own welfare above My kingdom must go. That means that you must stand in the light and speak only truth. That means you must not react based on your emotions, but based on My spirit. That means that you must put MY agenda and MY plans above your agenda and your plans.

Children My hand is outstretched to you.. I am looking for volunteers. Understand that the road to were we are going is not an easy road. It is never an easy road to be prepared to walk with Me in My glory. But I invite you; I stretch forth my hand to you. I will take any who are willing. We will start right where you are at and we will walk down the path of Holiness together. We will walk down the path of purity and transformation and I will work my glory in you if you will allow Me to.

Who will take my hand and come with me?
