THE KISS

"Just as He  (Jesus) was speaking,
Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared.
With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs,
sent from the chief priests, the teachers of the law,
and the elders.  Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them:
'The one I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away under guard.'
Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, 'Rabbi!' and kissed him.
The men seized Jesus and arrested Him."
Mark 14

SOMETIMES A KISS IS JUST A KISS
BUT SOMETIMES IT IS MUCH MORE
JUDAS BETRAYED ME IN FRONT OF ALL WITH A KISS
IT WAS A SIGN TO SEIZE ME AND TAKE ME TO MY DEATH

BUT A KISS CAN MEAN OTHER THINGS BESIDES BETRAYAL
AND A KISS CAN ALSO IDENTIFY A BETRAYER
I SENT MY SERVANT ONE DAY ON A MISSION OF RECONCILIATION
SHE KNEW NOT THE COURSE OF THE EVENING NOR MY PLAN
IN REVERSE
BUT SHE KISSED ONE UPON THE CHEEK
ONE WITH AN ANTI-CHRIST SPIRIT
MY SPIRIT SPOKE UNTO HER OF THE ONE SHE KISSED
"HE WILL BETRAY MY ANOINTED ONE AND LEAD MANY AWAY"
AND SO IT WILL BE

A MYSTERY THIS IS AND A MYSTERY IT WILL BE
UNTIL ALL COMES TO PASS
BUT AS THE EVIL BECOMES MORE EVIL IN THIS DAY AND TIME
JUST AS I SPOKE TO JUDAS AT THE TABLE
"WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO, DO QUICKLY"
AND SATAN, HIMSELF, ENTERED JUDAS TO COMPLETE THE WORK

EACH ANOINTED ONE WILL COME ACROSS A "JUDAS"
THE BETRAYER CAN COME IN MANY FORMS
BUT IT IS MOST LIKELY TO BE ONE WHO ABIDES CLOSELY

I SAY THIS DAY TO THE BETRAYER FOR WHICH MY SERVANT KISSED,
"WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO, DO QUICKLY"
SO THAT ALL WILL SEE AND KNOW WHO RESIDES WITHIN YOUR SOUL
YOU HAVE FOOLED MANY WITH YOUR QUIET, DEVOUT WAYS
BUT I SAY TO YOU THIS NIGHT,
THE MASQUERADE IS OVER
TAKE THOSE WITH YOU WHO HAVE THE SAME SPIRIT
FOR UNTO MY LAND WILL COME FORTH A RIGHTEOUS NATION

A KISS IS JUST A KISS
OR
IS IT MORE?

A PARABLE TO SET ALL ON EDGE:

THE MEN ALL CAME TO THE CAPTAIN TO REPORT FOR DUTY
ALL WAS IN ALIGNMENT FOR EVERYONE WHO WOULD NOT
AGREE IN UNITY HAD BEEN CAST FROM THE GROUP
THE GROUP HAD BEEN CLOSELY JOINED FOR SO LONG
BUT SATAN CAME FORTH THROUGH THE OPEN DOORS OF THOSE
WHO BELONGED NOT TO THE KEEPER OF THE SHIPS
SATAN CAME THROUGH AND DIVIDED UP THE SHIPMATES
HE DIVIDED THEM WITH WORDS OF STRIFE AND SELFISHNESS
HE DIVIDED THEM FOR HIS PURPOSES
BUT JUST AS JUDAS CAME AND SENT JESUS TO THE CROSS
SATAN HAD ONCE MORE BROUGHT FORTH THE PLAN OF GOD
TO COMPLETION
FOR THOSE WHO WILL LEAVE WILL NEVER TRULY BE
ONE WITH THE KEEPER OF THE SHIPS
THEY ARE EVIL FROM THE BEGINNING
THEY ARE RULE-FOLLOWERS WITH HEARTS OF STONE
THEY HAVE NO TRUE COMPASSION - THEY SPEAK ONLY WORDS
BUT THIS NIGHT THEY WILL BE DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS
CHOOSE WHICH ONE YOU WILL FOLLOW, SHIPMATES
FOR YOUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT
4 "HORSEMEN" ROSE UP FROM THE CROWD AND SHOUTED
THAT THERE MUST BE CONTROL AND UNITY AND PEACE
BUT THE SHIP KEEPER PRESSED THROUGH THE CROWD
HE SIGNALED TO THE CAPTAIN
AND THE CAPTAIN WAS LAID LOW
HE WAS LAID LOW AS JESUS WAS LAID UPON A CROSS
HE WAS DENOUNCED AND REVOKED BY MANY OF THE SHIPMATES
HE WAS DESTROYED IN FRONT OF THE PEOPLE
BUT THIS IS NOT PURELY A SHORT TALE, MY FRIENDS
THIS IS A TALE OF TWO CITIES
TWO CITIES RESIDING WITHIN ONE
BUT ONE DAY, ONE DAY SOON
THE RIGHTEOUS WILL BE COMPLETELY DIVIDED FROM THE EVIL
I SPOKE TO THE RIGHTEOUS TO COME APART
BUT THEY MOVED NOT
THEY WANTED UNITY AND BROTHERHOOD
THEY CHOSE COMPROMISE
AND NOW, THOSE WHO ARE TRULY RIGHTEOUS
BUT CONTAINED NO COURAGE
WILL FACE THE CROSS
BY THOSE FOR WHICH
THEY WOULD NOT DENOUNCE

I GAVE YOU MANY CHANCES TO RID THE CITY
MY SHIP OF EVIL
BUT YOU CHOSE NOT TO LOOK AT THE EVIL
YOU SPOKE OF THE PEOPLE AS BEING LOYAL AND CLOSE FRIENDS
BUT THEY ARE EVIL AND NOT OF MY BLOOD
I WILL RID THE SHIP OF THESE
BUT IT WILL COST YOU EVERYTHING, DEAR CAPTAIN
I WILL SET YOU FREE WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO BE FREE OR NOT
FOR YOU KNOW NOT THE TOTAL TRUTH
UNTIL THE EVIL ONES AND THEIR WORDS
ARE REMOVED FROM YOU
YOU LIVE IN A DARK CLOUD
AND KNOW NOT THAT THERE IS THE BRIGHT OF DAY
BUT I WILL COME AND DO A WORK

JONAH CHOSE NOT TO ANSWER MY CALL
AND HE WAS SWALLOWED
BY A VERY BIG FISH
YOU, TOO, O CAPTAIN, WILL BE SWALLOWED BY A "BIG FISH"
OF FEAR AND ANGUISH AND SORROW
UNTIL YOU DECIDE TO FOLLOW THE KEEPER OF THE SHIP
"DEAD" YOU ARE UNTIL THE SCALES WHICH THE EVIL ONES
HAVE PLACED UPON YOU ARE REMOVED
YOU CANNOT EVEN SEE THEIR EVIL AND YOU EMBRACE IT DAILY
BUT NOW
I WILL BEGIN TO DIVIDE

RISE UP, "JUDAS,"
AND DO YOUR WORK QUICKLY
FOR A SHIP I AM BUILDING
I AM MAKING ALL THINGS NEW
AND THE EVIL ARE NOT WELCOME
THOSE WHO FOLLOW CONTROL
AND THEIR OWN MINDS AND RELIGIOUS RULES
ARE NOT WELCOME UPON MY SHIP

BYE
BYE
BYE

AND UNTO YOU, SERVANT,
WILL BE GIVEN A DIFFERENT FORM OF A KISS

ON THAT NIGHT I SENT YOU FORTH AMIDST THE ONES SO EVIL
YOU THOUGHT YOUR MISSION WAS TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
TO FORGIVE WHAT THEY HAD DONE UNTO YOU
YOU OFFERED YOUR HAND IN FRIENDSHIP
YOU HUGGED, KISSED THE CHEEK OF YOUR BETRAYER
AND SAID WORDS OF RECONCILIATION
BUT WAS THAT THE PLAN FOR THE EVENING
OR WAS THAT SIMPLY YOUR HEART OFFERING GRACE TO ONE SO NEEDY?
TRUE GRACE AND MERCY IS NEVER GIVEN WITHOUT RESULTS
IN MY KINGDOM
YOU WON NOT THE ONE YOU KISSED
BUT MANY OTHERS
YOU UNDERSTAND NOT MY WORDS
BUT KNOW THIS DAY
YOUR SIMPLE KISS WILL SOMEDAY BE RETURNED IN GREAT KINDNESS
BY ONE WHO WAS REDEEMED THROUGH
THE GRACE AND MERCY SHOWN THROUGH YOU
THAT NIGHT
Friday, March 24, 2000


CAPTAIN, O CAPTAIN
YOU LIE STILL EVEN THOUGH YOU STILL MOVE ABOUT
GOING HERE AND THERE
TO MAKE YOUR PRESENCE KNOWN
BUT HAVE I ASKED YOU TO GO?
HAVE I BID YOU TO LEAVE THE SHIP AND FOLLOW ANOTHER?
WHAT HAVE I TAUGHT YOU?
THAT YOU CANNOT FOLLOW MAN TO DO MAN'S BIDDING
I ASK YOU TO LIE STILL UNTIL I SPEAK
ONE PROGRAM TURNS TO ANOTHER
ONE PLAN BEGATS ANOTHER
LAND IS BOUGHT
BUT WHAT IS THE PLAN FROM THE LIPS OF THE FATHER?
DO YOU KNOW THE PLAN?
DO YOU KNOW MY PLAN?
A BUILDING WAS DESTROYED LONG AGO
IT WAS A BUILDING WHICH HELD MY HEART
IT WAS DESTROYED AND ALONG WITH IT MY PLANS FOR THE LAND
NEW LAND IS BOUGHT
BUT WHAT IS THE TRUE PRICE OF THE LAND?
WILL I ALLOW YOU TO KEEP THE LAND?
I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, YOUNG MAN
I TELL YOU THE PLAIN TRUTH
UNTIL YOU LISTEN TO MY PLANS
ALL WILL TURN TO DUST
ALL
YOU TRAVEL HERE AND THERE
BUT I TRAVEL NOT WITH YOU
YOU TRULY TRAVEL ALONE

A CAPTAIN BELONGS WITH HIS SHIP
A CAPTAIN BELONGS WITH HIS SHIP
A CAPTAIN BELONGS WITH HIS SHIP

DO NOT PLAN ANY LONGER
FOR I WILL TURN ALL YOUR PLANS AGAINST YOU
DO NOT CREATE ON YOUR OWN
FOR I WILL NOT BLESS IT
DO NOT COMMISSION PEOPLE TO SERVE WITH YOU
FOR I AM NOT IN ON THE DECISION
DO NOT MAKE EVEN ONE MOVE WITHOUT ME
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
YOU WILL SOON
SO VERY SOON
LEARN YOU WILL BUT THE HARD WAY
YOU WILL LEARN LESSON AFTER LESSON AFTER LESSON
IN MY SCHOOL
AND I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO GRADUATE UNTIL
YOU LISTEN TO MY VOICE PERFECTLY
AND OBEY MY EVERY WORD
THIS IS NOT A SCHOOL FOR THOSE WHO ARE JUST BEGINNING TO LEARN
YOU HAVE BEEN IN THIS "BUSINESS" FOR YEARS
NOW - YOU WILL LEARN THE FINER POINTS
FOR THEN AND ONLY THEN
WILL YOU BE ABLE TO TEACH IT TO OTHERS
WITH EXPERTISE
THINK NOT THAT I AM BEING HARD ON YOU
I HONOR YOU BY THE DISCIPLINE THAT I SERVE OUT TO YOU
THANK ME, YOU WILL
WHEN YOU SEE THE PROGRESS THAT THE DISCIPLINE BRINGS

TRAVEL TO AND FRO
I SAY "NO"
UNTIL YOU HAVE SOMETHING
POWERFUL TO TEACH FROM THE HEART
UNTIL THEN
YOU ARE ONLY PREY TO THE DEMONS THAT ATTACK
THOSE OUTSIDE OF MY WILL
UNDERSTAND?
YOU WILL


TERAH,
SERVANT OF THE MOST HIGH GOD
5 YEARS YOU HAVE LABORED IN YOUR TRAINING GROUND
WALK AWAY - SURELY RUN
FOR IT WILL SOON EXPLODE
AND THE HAPPENINGS WILL BRING ABOUT INTERNAL COMBUSTION
I SURELY HAVE A DIFFERENT MISSION FOR YOU
SURELY I HAVE
YOU SPOKE NOT IN VAIN
YOU PRAYED NOT IN VAIN
NOTHING WAS DONE IN VAIN
NOTHING
AND I WILL NOW SWEEP YOU OFF ELSEWHERE
FAR FROM THE MEMORIES
FAR FROM THE ASSAULTS
FAR, FAR AWAY
UNTO ME
AND UNTO THE TRUE CHURCH
I DECLARE THAT YOU ARE FREE THIS DAY
FROM ANY TIES THAT BIND YOU TO THE OLD ASSIGNMENT
I BREAK OFF THE CURSES SPOKEN THROUGH THEIR WORDS
I BREAK OFF THE TIES THAT BIND YOU TO THEM THROUGH YOUR LOVE
I BREAK OFF ALL THAT ENTANGLES YOU IN THEIR AFFAIRS
I BREAK YOU FREE UNTO ME ALONE THIS DAY
BE FREE
LOOK NOT BACK
YOU WILL NOT TURN TO SALT AS LOT'S WIFE DID
BUT YOU WILL GRIEVE AND GRIEVE AND GRIEVE
FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD NEVER CHANGE
SHALOM, CHILD
WALK AWAY
AND WHY DO YOU HESITATE?

I still feel like there is hope that some will arise from the ashes

AND THERE IS
BUT YOUR JOB IS DONE
YOU ARE TO WALK AWAY
FOR THEY MUST RISE FROM THE ASHES ALONE
OR THEY WILL NEVER SURVIVE THE END-TIMES
HOW DID YOU ARISE FROM THE ASHES
OF WHAT I PUT YOU THROUGH?

Minute by minute, alone with You

EXACTLY
IF YOU HOLD THEIR HAND
THEY WILL NEVER BE MADE STRONG ENOUGH
CAN YOU WALK AWAY NOW?

I can walk away, but I'm afraid that I am still watching in the Spirit
They were my first assignment
and even though I failed, I still love them

YOU DID NOT FAIL
YOU DID NOT FAIL
YOU DID NOT FAIL
THEY DID NOT LISTEN
YOU CANNOT MAKE SOMEONE LISTEN
WHEN YOU DELIVER WORDS TO THEM
AND THESE WORDS ARE PLACED BACK UPON YOUR DOORSTEP
UNOPENED
WAS THAT YOUR FAULT
OR IS IT BECAUSE THEY ALLOW NO TRUTH THROUGH THEIR DOORS?
IS IT BECAUSE THEY ALLOW NO OUTSIDERS TO CUT THROUGH
THE VEIL OF THEIR DECEPTION?
THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE
BUT THE PRAYER PRAYED THIS WEEK WILL REMOVE THE VEIL
ONCE AND FOR ALL
AND YOU ARE TO STEP BACK
LIE STILL
LET THEM SEEK ME
LET THEM FIND ME WITHOUT HELP
LET THEM GO THROUGH THE CROSS
THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO THE RESURRECTION

OK
But somehow let them know that even though I cannot help them
that I do love them

AND I WILL . . .
OVER AND OVER AND OVER
March 31, 2000


 CAPTAIN, O CAPTAIN
THE DAYS ARE LONG AND THE NIGHTS
LONGER STILL
WHAT ARE MY PLANS?
WHEN WILL I REVEAL THEM UNTO YOU
WHEN THE HOUSE IS CLEAN
    WHEN THE PEOPLE ARE PURE
              WHEN THE REBELLIOUS ARE GONE
                         WHEN THE RIGHTEOUS ARE SUBMISSIVE
TO MY EVERY PLEA

I AM BUILDING A SHIP
I AM BUILDING A SHIP TO SAIL THE OCEAN BLUE
BUT I, ALONE, WILL BUILD THE FOUNDATION
                  I WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY SUBSERVIENT PLANS
I WILL NOT ALLOW ANY PLANS OF MAN
 I WILL NOT PERMIT THE TOUCH OF MAN
UPON MY HOUSE
IT ALL MUST BE SUPERNATURAL OR IT IS NOT BIRTHED WITHIN ME
DO NOT FILL IN THE TIME WITH EMPTY WORDS TO THE PEOPLE
TELL THEM THAT THERE WILL BE PLANS COMING FORTH
WHEN ALL IS CLEAN AND PURE AND READY FOR MY GLORY
HOW DO THE PEOPLE BECOME READY FOR MY GLORY?
SIMPLY BY SURRENDER
SURRENDER ALL OF WHAT THEY ARE BEFORE ME
LAY IT ALL DOWN
AND ALLOW ME TO REPLACE IT
WITH THE SUPERNATURAL

THE DAYS AHEAD WILL BE VERY HARD
THOSE OF THE ANTI-CHRIST SPIRIT WILL COME HARD AGAINST YOU
TRYING TO DESTROY YOU
BUT THAT, MY FRIEND, WILL CAUSE YOU TO RISE UP
ABOVE THEIR
ASSAULTS AND THEIR ACCUSATIONS
YOU WILL COME TO ME SURRENDERING ALL

LISTEN TO MY WORDS
AND ATTACK IN PURE OBEDIENCE
NO NEED TO SPEAK TO SATAN TO COUNTER HIS PLANS
THESE PLANS ARE SURELY MINE
TO MAKE YOU SURRENDER EVERYTHING
SO THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED TO OVERFLOWING WITH MY GLORY

LET THE PEOPLE LEAVE
WHO WILL NOT FOLLOW MY VOICE
LET THE PEOPLE LEAVE
WHO WILL NOT SUBMIT TO MY CLEANSING
LET THE PEOPLE LEAVE
FOR IN THEIR LEAVING IS ROOM MADE FOR THOSE OF MY ANOINTING
YOU WILL ONE DAY HAVE A HOUSE OF THE ANOINTED
WHERE MY PEOPLE WILL BE SAFE FROM THE RELIGIOUS
PERFECTLY SAFE
BUT FIRST THE FIRE WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE
AND THEN THE RAIN
    AND THEN THE GLORY
JUST AS MY SERVANT SPOKE TO YOU
5 YEARS AGO
I DON'T CHANGE MY PLANS
THE GLORY WILL COME
                       WILL COME
                                           WILL SURELY COME . . .
                                                           WILL COME AS IF ON THE WIND
AND MY FRIEND, O CAPTAIN, THOSE OF THE FORMER HOUSE
WHO WERE RIGHTEOUS BUT WERE SENT AWAY
WILL ONCE MORE RETURN
THEY WILL COME FROM NEAR AND FAR
TO HELP BUILD THIS HOUSE

DO NOT FRET THAT THE BUILDING PHASE IS NOT OF YET
IF THE HOUSE IS NOT CLEANSED
THE FOUNDATION WILL NEVER BE STRONG ENOUGH
TO HOLD THE GLORY
WALK THROUGH EVERY PHASE
UNTIL I TELL YOU THAT IT IS FINISHED
AND I GIVE YOU THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE NEXT PHASE

SPEAK TRUTH TO THE PEOPLE
SPEAK ABSOLUTE TRUTH
IT IS THE ONLY THING THAT WILL SAVE THEIR SOULS
AND BRING FORTH
MY HOUSE OF GLORY

STAND FIRM, CAPTAIN
AGAINST THE WORDS OF THE PEOPLE
THERE IS NO POWER IN THEIR WORDS
THERE IS ONLY DISGRACE UPON THEIR SOULS
STAND FIRM
I STAND WITH YOU
April 5, 2000

Shalom, Captain, I stand with you, too
from afar . . .

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In His great mercy, He has given us
NEW BIRTH
into a
LIVING HOPE
through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."
1 Peter 1:3


And just as Jesus Christ was raised from the dead
surely all that becomes dead through sin
will one day be
RAISED TO NEW LIFE
The secret is surrender
not just the surrendering of things known
but of the unknown
Surrender the future
Surrender that for which causes you to doubt His words to you
Surrender the sweat upon your brow in years past
Surrender the efforts you have made to bring forth the Kingdom
Surrender it all
for in doing so, you are admitting to God
that He alone will build the new
will bring forth NEW LIFE
will decree a LIVING HOPE to His purposes

Count everything in the past as dead
Give it unto God as a sacrifice of your love for Him
Ask Him to take over every area of your church and lives
Give Him permission to bring forth NEW LIFE
anyway He chooses

And as Sunday draws near
and the doors to your church will open
and the people will gather
and the songs of praise will be sung
I offer you my blessing
for I know that one day you will be all that God
has destined for you to be
I know that one day He will truly walk upon your grounds
with pride in His people
I know that one day
what was torn down will be built back
You will truly be a place for Him to call HOME
You will be a place for Him to gather His Anointed
from far and wide
You will be a place of Honor and Restoration
for those who have been shamed
You will be most importantly
a place of LOVE
for as the LOVE comes to replace the judgment
so will the tears
Let them come and let them flow freely
Let the river of His Love wash away
all that brings forth judgment
Let His river of Love bring forth a NEW DAY
in your midst
Let Him come
He wants to

Happy Resurrection Day!

Terah


AND UNTO YOU IS GIVEN, YOUNG CHURCH
A NEW CHANCE TO RISE UP AND BECOME A HOUSE OF GLORY
WILL YOU TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY AND RUN WITH IT?
WILL YOU TAKE THIS CHANCE AND TRULY SURRENDER ALL YOUR PLANS
TO LISTEN TO MY EVERY DECREE?
YOU MUST BECOME THE FIRST
YOU WERE DESTINED TO BE THE LEADER
BUT YOU MUST LISTEN
ALL WHO WILL NOT LISTEN WILL LEAVE
I AM THE MASTER OF CEREMONIES
I AM THE SHIP BUILDER
I AM THE KEEPER OF THE SHIPS
AND ALL WHO WOULD WANT TO COME ABOARD
MUST BE WILLING TO BE OBEDIENT TO MY COMMANDS
ONE DAY YOU WILL KNOW WHY YOU WERE CHOSEN FOR THIS TASK
BUT FOR TODAY
FOR RIGHT NOW
ASK ME TO MAKE MY PLANS KNOWN TO YOU
AND I ASK YOU NOT TO DO EVEN ONE THING WITHOUT MY DIRECTION
IT IS VERY SIMPLE
IT ALL HAS TO DO WITH LISTENING AND OBEYING
IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE THAN A CHILD ATTENDING KINDERGARTEN?
THEY ARE TOLD TO LISTEN TO THE TEACHER AND OBEY
IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE FUN
BUT IT DOES MEAN THAT THE TEACHER IS FULLY IN CHARGE
AND THE WORK WILL ONLY BE ACCOMPLISHED
WHEN THERE IS OBEDIENCE

TIME IS SHORT
THE FUTURE OF THE OTHER SHIPS RESTS ON YOU
ON YOUR PROGRESS
I WILL KEEP YOU ON SCHEDULE
BUT MANY YOU WILL LOSE FOR THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW
WHAT THEY CANNOT HEAR

TO THOSE WHO ARE MY OWN
THEY WILL KNOW MY PLANS FOR I WILL SPEAK TO THEM
AND GIVE THEM CONFIRMATION IN THEIR SPIRIT
I'M READY TO BUILD
I WILL TELL YOU HOW TO CLEANSE YOUR BUILDING AND YOUR PEOPLE
AS YOU COME TO ME TO LISTEN
THIS PART WILL NOT BE EASY
FOR JUST AS YOUNG CHILDREN DO NOT LIKE TO BE CLEANED
YOU WILL HAVE MANY THROWING TANTRUMS (THE GROWN-UP WAY)
AND IT WILL BE QUITE UGLY
BUT I TELL YOU THE TRUTH, YOUNG CONGREGATION
THERE ARE THOSE WHICH ARE IN CHARGE
WHICH IN THEIR PRIVATE LIVES COMMIT EVERY FORM OF EVIL
THEY MUST REPENT OR LEAVE
THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE
THERE ARE THOSE WHO WANT TO CONTROL LEADERSHIP
WITH THEIR WORDS
AND ADULTEROUS WAYS
THEY MUST REPENT OR LEAVE
THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE LAZY AND WITHOUT PURPOSE
THEY MUST REPENT OR LEAVE
THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE NOT OF MY SPIRIT
BUT APPEAR VERY SPIRITUAL
THEY MUST REPENT OR LEAVE
THERE ARE THOSE WHO RIDE THE TAIL OF THE MOVEMENTS
BUT HAVE NO INNER CONVICTION
THEY ARE ONLY TALKERS
THEY MUST REPENT OR LEAVE
IT IS VERY SIMPLE FROM MY VIEWPOINT
I ASK YOU THIS DAY TO ASK FOR DISCERNMENT
TO KNOW WHO IS OF ME AND WHO IS NOT
I ASK YOU TO BE WILLING TO CONFRONT PEOPLE WITH THEIR SIN
WHEN I TELL YOU TO
I ASK YOU TO DECLARE THAT THE SHIP AND ITS PEOPLE
WOULD BE COMPLETELY CLEAN AND PURE
AND BE WILLING TO LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE TO ACCOMPLISH IT
I ASK MUCH
BUT IF YOU ONLY KNEW WHAT I HAD PLANNED FOR YOU
YOU WOULD NOT EVEN WANT TO SLEEP
YOU WOULD WORK NIGHT AND DAY TO ACCOMPLISH MY WORD

BUT ALAS,
I SAY TO REST
AND I SPEAK TO YOU ONCE MORE
TO LISTEN AND OBEY
FOR WHEN I SPEAK A COMMAND
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN UNTIL WHAT I HAVE SPOKEN FOR YOU TO DO
IS ACCOMPLISHED
NOTHING
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO OBEY
SIMPLE
COMPLETE

ASK ME FOR VISIONS OF THE FUTURE
ASK ME FOR DREAMS OF YOUR COURSE
ASK ME FOR CONFIRMATION AND COURAGE AND STRENGTH
AND HOPE
LIVING HOPE
TO LIVE EACH AND EVERY DAY
KNOWING THAT ALL MY PROMISES ARE TRUE

I LOVE YOU
I DO

RESURRECTION DAY  2000
