                          It Is Finished
    [A word for those coming out of sin and into God's victory]


Awake My child and clothe yourself with strength, for it is time to
shake off the dust and make straight your paths! Return to Me, for the
hour is late and your salvation is nearer than what you had first
believed.

My child, for a moment I was angry with you. But I have taken out of
your hand the cup that made you stagger, the cup of My wrath of which
you will never drink again. Do not doubt any longer if Jesus is the 
one or if you should look for another, for there is no other name under
heaven given to men by which to be saved. I am the Way the Truth and 
the Life and on one comes to the Father except through Me.

My child, your godly sorrow has led you to repentance, therefore allow 
me to remove your sackcloth and clothe you with joy. Look upon the One 
whom has been pierced for your transgressions and receive his mercy and 
grace, for my mercies are new every morning.

Child though you have wept through the night and have had to suffer
grief, you still believed in Me. Therefore I desire you to rejoice, as
you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your soul.

It is because of My great love that you were not consumed, and because
of My great compassion that I brought you back again. I am turning your
wailing into dancing so that your heart may sing, "Free at last, free at
last. Thank God Almighty I am free at last!"

My child, arise and do not be put to shame, for it is finished and you
will see the salvation of your God!
