                      Do You Want To Serve Me?

You stand on the brink of the rest of your life. You stand poised to
perform deeds - wonders that I have delegated to you since the beginning of
time. Will you surrender all that stands in the way? All that inhibits My
glory to shine through you. Know that I have been with you since the very
day of your birth - nothing has shocked or dismayed Me.

Stand tall. Chin out. Shoulders back. You are chosen, chosen, chosen.  My 
authority rests in you. Pick up the scepter. Walk forward to make My 
Spirit known.  Jesus lives in you. Don't doubt that - outward signs would 
say failure. I say SUCCESS. Mighty battles are being waged and won in My 
name. Pray. Press in. Don't faint. 

Pressure, pressure is building as before an earthquake.  Point Seven on the
Richter scale. Hang on - not too much longer. Waves of mercy, waves of
grace crashing on the shore - crashing, crashing, crashing wiping the
beaches clear of any debris, footprints, past circumstances and choice.
Hang tough. Know that I, your Redeemer, am in charge. I am forging on ahead
commanding my troop to follow Me, follow hard after Me. Do you want the
prophetic? Do you want to be an encourager to the Body? Do you want to
serve Me?
