                      Whom Shall I send?

Dear child, I have a question for you. It is a question that I have asked
My own throughout the ages, and I am asking you today--"Whom shall I send?"

I have appointed you to be My witness in your Jerusalem, your Judea and
to the very ends of the earth.  I have placed My Spirit within you that
you might be empowered as My witness. I have placed My anointing upon you
that you would be fully equipped. I have provided everything you need to
do it will, and this is the task I ask those called by My name to do.

So many of My own are not willing to do the very thing that I have
appointed them to do.  Some of you disqualify yourselves because you don't
feel adequate to the task.  To you I would say: "Don't you realize that
apart from Me, no one is adequate, but with Me you can do all things!
I will not send you out alone--My Spirit will go with you and He will
show you what to say. I will empower you and make you more than adequate."

Some of you disqualify yourselves because you are afraid.  You don't know
what will happen if you leave the security of your routine by giving Me
Lordship over your schedule.  You are concerned that some will be offended
if you speak of Me and witness of My glory.  To you I would say, "Fear not,
little one, for I take excellent care of My own. I know in advance all
that you will need to do the takes that I have appointed for you, and I
will surely supply all of it for you.  My desire is to glorify My name
through your life and your testimony. I want the world to see that I am
the God of abundance who knows how to take good care of My own.  I am
not going to abandon you or thrust you into something that I don't give
you the resources to accomplish."

Some of you disqualify yourselves because you think the call is too
difficult and you are too comfortable in your life as it is.  You don't
want My kingdom priorities to disrupt your comfortable life.  To you I
would say, "Haven't you heard that My yoke is easy and My burden is light?
I am the One Who supplies the peace that passes all understanding. I am
the one who gives joy and abundant life. These things come from Me and I
give them liberally to My faithful servants.  So many of My own struggle
with rejection and depression and fear. Even in the midst of that, they
think that their life is too comfortable to serve as My witness--but they
are miserable and in torment.  My desire is to break the power of the
tormentor to trouble you and to envelope you in My peace and My love.
Child, when you choose to disobey My call, you give him the right to
torment you. Choose to obey Me and be My witness--then watch how much
more peaceful and joyful your life will become.  Don't you know that I
want the world to see that I have the solution to fear and depression?
I want to manifest that in your life and cause you to walk in the
fullness of My goodness."

Some of you disqualify yourselves because the enemy has spoken his lies
over you for so long that they sound true to you. He tells you that you
are so deficient and so broken that I can not use you. You enemy tells
you that you are of no value because he wants you to give up all hope.
But I would say to you, "Dear one, you are of great value and you have
greater potential than you can imagine.  I have placed My spirit within
you to make you a victor and an overcoming one. I have purchased your
salvation with My own blood because you have exceedingly great value to
Me.  In fact, it is because you are so important to Me that I permit you
to do something with Me that is extremely important to Me.  I want you
to let others know what I have done for you so that they too can be saved.
I value you so much that I am trusting you with the destiny and eternal
life of others. Child you are of exceedingly great value and I have given
you have some very important work to do for Me."

When I walked on this earth, I lifted up My eyes and looked at the harvest.
I saw then what I see today: the harvest is too great and the harvest is
too few.  What I asked My disciples to pray then is what I still ask My
Father for today--that He would raise up more laborers for the harvest.

Precious one who is called by My name, will you be part of the answer to
that prayer? Will you be My witness and bring My love and My salvation
to those who I put in your path?  I am looking for ones who will be My
witness, and I am longing for you to tell Me, "Here I am Lord, send me."

So I ask it once again--whom shall I send and who will go for Me?
