MY DESIRE FOR MY PEOPLE!

My children, do you not know that I formed you? That out of My mouth I breathed life into you? You are My delight and in the image of the love and compassion of We who formed you. I desire only loyalty to your God, unfeigned devotion and obedience to my commandments. To desire and seek after your Maker-- Your God--with ALL of your heart and with all of your soul. To truly desire to know Me not just about Me.

There is so much I desire for you and to give you. First you must seek and search MY heart. To come to a genuine recognition of Me and to My authority.

Now is the time I shall raise up My David's, My Elisha's, My Isaiah's, My John the Baptist's. They will not come from the "elite" of My people, nor will they come from the pinnacles of the church and body. They are a chosen people for this time who have come before Me with a truth and repentance that is pure and holy. They are the ones who through many trials and tests have stood firm in integrity and faith and in righteousness. They have called out to their Most High God and I have heard their cries for they are from the heart. When I have called they have answered, they are obedient to what I purposed in them. I will put in their mouths my oracles and they will speak things that are to come and that must be.

I will raise them up as a mighty army and they will be "sent" as I have sent My prophets in days of old. They are being sent to warn, correct, and to give direction to My people. Let those that will hear-hear, and those that will see-see. For they come with the power and the authority that I have empowered in them.

Think not to turn them aside from you for they come on My behalf, not their own. Do not wonder if they are sent by me or not for you will know them if you know Me. Take them into your bosom and eat and drink upon their words that they will speak.

For soon- VERY SOON -I will open up the heavens and rend the veil and you will KNOW that I AM that I AM! I will send a consuming fire and a rushing mighty wind to fan the flame. I will send My rain to a dry and thirsty people. Be ready My children for in that time you will be made as the metal in a refiners fire and in you I will raise up a strong and mighty army to take the land for My glory and for My honor!! Then I shall send forth My Son to gather You unto Me. For the bridegroom longs for His bride and the feast is almost made ready.

What is My desire for My children? To behold their love for Me; to hear their songs of praise and worship offered freely and with reverence. Loyalty and devotion out of a genuine love and respect for their Maker. Obedience without question. To truly know My voice without wondering. To listen and wait on Me to speak to them. To take time for their Maker before all else. To MINISTER unto Me; for I cry out to them for their love, for their reverence to Me above ALL things. I have too long been given their left overs of time, energy, tithes, praise, worship and fellowship with Me. I desire YOU My children!
