                      A Proven Identity

Examine your heart once and for all to see if you are truly one of the
king's chosen ones.  You need to know beyond the shadow of doubt if you
are to be one that the master has called to take a stand for the land.
Yes, there is going to be a final battle, and you must know Whose side
you are on.

You must be faithful unto death, no matter what might come your way.
You must be ready to stand fully armed against the wages of sin which is
death.  Do not take the pleasures that last for a moment and jeopardize
your whole future.  Resist the enemy and he will flee.  A good solder
must be equipped to fight at all times standing guard.  So you must watch
and pray and not let your guard down.  Remember when there is greatest
victory, that is when the enemy is ready to attack.

I want you to be ready, My people.  I want you to know that you have a
proven identity because I gave My life for you and sealed you with My very
own blood. Yes, I have marked you that you will stand out in the darkness
with My glory streaming out in all directions. Yes, you are like a diamond
in My crown, and I love you deeply.

I have called you to march out as My victorious ones, for I trust you to
invest your life in that which is highly favored before the Father.  Yes,
you are a camp that is highly favored, and I will do great exploits
through you. Yes, I promised that I would do greater works and through My
remnant bride.  I can trust you with the keys of My kingdom. I can trust
you with My power and glory.  I can trust you that I can live My life
through you.

Yes, this is the time for war, and I want you to do it through worship. I
want you to take the land and on your knees. I will let out through you a
mighty roar, and the walls that have held My people in bondage will come
down.  Yes, those walls that have kept My people divided will crumble and
fall.  And as you let out My decrees, the enemy will scatter in your midst.

This is the day to rejoice and celebrate the victory for My bride is made
pure and is coming together as one new man.  Yes, this third day church
will arise and shine for the light has come to take over.  I am the King
of Glory, the Faithful One.

You must stand in your ranks, esteeming others over yourself, serving
without grumbling and complaining through your hardships.  For through much
tribulation do you enter in and are made strong and purified.

This is truly the day I, the Lord, have made.  You must rejoice and be glad
and take your stand.  Be ready, for the light has come, and we will win!
The price has been paid.  The decrees are let out.  It has been prophesied.
It has been written.  It has been sealed.  It is done!
