                      Come Forth Elijah!

Come forth Elijah! Come forth from the wilderness from which I have 
hidden you. Come forth from the dessert of affliction by which I have 
proven you and tested you. Come forth from the rocks and caves and 
mountains. For the days of listening to the wind and fire shall be over. 
For you shall stand before Me as did Moses My friend. You shall stand 
with great boldness and with signs and wonders that have never been 
conceived or even imagined. New things shall come to your hands and 
through your mouth. For like me you shall be a person of Creation. You 
shall not be satisfied with the norm. You shall speak forth and a new 
creation shall form and the walls of religion shall fall by the wayside.

And do not be afraid of those that stood in the fore front of this move 
of Mine and those that have testified of their own greatness. For they 
have truly sold themselves short. They have settled for that which is in 
their own hand and not sought that which I have in My hand for them. For 
that which is in My hand is a perfect work, but that which is in their 
hand is tainted by their own desires and experiences. But you, My true 
servants, those that have waited patiently for Me, those that have 
allowed for Me to place you upon My wheel and work you and form you as I 
desire. Those that have not kicked against me. You shall come forth as 
My true and selected ones. Do not fear the wrath of man, because My hand 
shall be on you greatly. And though you feared that none would take 
notice of you. I tell you, do not seek the glory of man, for you shall 
truly be as Elijah and Jezebel shall seek to bring you down. For I have 
formed in you a heart of a warrior. I have trained you for battle. For 
the battle that is soon to come forth. And your only joy shall be in the 
battle. Your only joy shall be the smell of smoke and fire. For I have 
prepared you for this. I have kept you from the desires of the things of 
this world. I have fed you with locusts and starved you to be hungry for 
this day. I have brought your flesh under my subjection so that it no 
longer cries for the comforts of this world and the desire of mammon is 
gone. You, my true servants, seek only my will and my anointing and my 
desires.

For you have waited for a long time for this day and the preparation has 
been difficult, but remember this, you have never been alone. For I have 
hidden away others in the caves, just like you, with the same desires 
and purpose. So come forth now Elijah. Come forth from your hiding.
