                       Do What I Am Doing

Child of Mine, I desire to give you eyes to see and ears to hear -- that 
you may see and hear what I am doing -- that you might participate in it 
with Me.  For it gives Me great pleasure when My children desire to do with 
Me what I am doing in this earth.  I am advancing My kingdom and I am 
releasing power and authority through My body, the church, that My name
might be glorified.  For it must be My name that is lifted up and no other.
I desire to draw all men unto Myself.  Therefore, I will perform signs and 
wonders and I will heal the sick and cast out demons and -- yes -- I will 
even raise the dead.  And I will do this through My servants, through those 
who are called by My name.  That means you can participate with Me in doing 
these things if you desire to.

If you would like to work with Me to advance My kingdom, then you must lay 
down your own agenda and take up Mine.  You must set aside your own goals 
and embrace Mine.  For I am building My kingdom, and if you would participate 
with Me, then you must do what I am doing.  I set the course and I determine 
what actions we will take, what activities we will engage in.  I determine 
which battles must be fought.  I determine when to show forth My love and 
compassion and when to show forth My power and might.  I determine when to
uphold My standards of holiness with righteous judgments and when to 
release mercy and grace and forgiveness.  These are My decisions, not 
yours.

My goal is to advance My kingdom by reaching and winning the lost.  I am 
not sending you out to rebuke and condemn sinners and drive them away 
from Me.  Rather I am sending you out with love and compassion and mercy 
and deliverance and power, that they might turn to Me.  I am sending you 
out to be a demonstration of My love and a demonstration of My power and 
a demonstration of My reality  -- so show forth that I am a God who hears 
and answers prayer and that I am a God who takes good care of His own.

If your agenda is to lift up your name instead of lifting up My name, I 
will not empower you to participate with Me in what I am doing.  If your
agenda is to build your kingdom instead of building My kingdom, you will
be left out.  For My agenda must be done My way.  

These are very serious times to Me and I am very serious about advancing 
My kingdom.  I am serious about setting captives free from the oppression 
of the devil.  I am serious about proclaiming the good news and drawing 
many into a personal relationship with Me.  I am serious about healing the 
sick and about giving relief to the poor and oppressed.  I am serious 
about demonstrating My love to others through My people.   This means that
I will release anointing and power and authority on those who will commit 
to do with Me what I am doing, to the ones who commit to do it My way under 
My direction.

Child of Mine, will you be one of these?  Will you join Me in advancing 
My kingdom?  Will you join Me in demonstrating My power and My love to the
lost?  Will you commit to My Lordship and to My agenda, even to the point
of laying down your rights  -- or even laying down your very life -- should
that be required of you?  If you will be one of My servants who cares so
much for My agenda that you "love not your own life unto death,"  then I 
will release My anointing and My power through you.  I will glorify My name
through you.  

Now that you know My terms and conditions, are you willing to advance My 
kingdom with Me?
