95 THESIS OF REVOLUTION
THE BUILDING OF A CITY
BRICK BY BRICK
THE CREATION OF A SHIP TO SAIL THIS WORLD
LET IT BEGIN:

COVENANT # 1
THE COVENANT OF RESTORATION

# 1 BRICK
"AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.
AND THESE WORDS WHICH I COMMAND YOU TODAY SHALL BE
IN YOUR HEART.
YOU SHALL TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY TO YOUR CHILDREN,
AND SHALL TALK OF THEM WHEN YOU SIT IN YOUR HOUSE,
WHEN YOU WALK BY THE WAY,
WHEN YOU LIE DOWN,
AND WHEN YOU RISE UP.
YOU SHALL BIND THEM AS A SIGN ON YOUR HAND,
AND THEY SHALL BE AS FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES.
YOU SHALL WRITE THEM ON THE DOORPOSTS OF YOUR HOUSE
AND ON YOUR GATES."
Deuteronomy 6: 5 - 9

# 2 BRICK
"BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE,
FOR YOU MUST GO WITH THIS PEOPLE TO THE LAND
WHICH THE LORD HAS SWORN TO THEIR FATHERS TO GIVE THEM,
AND YOU SHALL CAUSE THEM TO INHERIT IT.
AND THE LORD,  HE IS THE ONE WHO GOES BEFORE YOU.
HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU;
DO NOT FEAR NOR BE DISMAYED."
Deuteronomy 31: 7 - 8

# 3 BRICK
"YOU SHOULD KNOW IN YOUR HEART THAT AS A MAN CHASTENS
HIS SON, SO THE LORD GOD CHASTENS YOU.
THEREFORE YOU SHALL KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD YOUR GOD,
TO WALK IN HIS WAYS AND TO FEAR HIM.
FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS BRINGING YOU INTO A GOOD LAND,
A LAND OF BROOKS OF WATER, OF FOUNTAINS AND SPRINGS,
THAT FLOW OUT OF VALLEYS AND HILLS;
A LAND OF WHEAT AND BARLEY, OF VINES AND FIG TREES AND POMEGRANATES,
A LAND OF OLIVE OIL AND HONEY;
A LAND IN WHICH YOU WILL EAT BREAD WITHOUT SCARCITY,
IN WHICH YOU WILL LACK NOTHING;
A LAND WHOSE STONES ARE IRON AND OUT OF WHOSE HILLS
YOU CAN DIG COPPER.
WHEN YOU HAVE EATEN AND ARE FULL,
THEN YOU SHALL BLESS THE LORD YOUR GOD FOR THE GOOD LAND
WHICH HE HAS GIVEN YOU."
Deuteronomy 8: 5 -10

# 4 BRICK
"THEREFORE YOU SHALL KEEP EVERY COMMANDMENT
WHICH I COMMAND YOU TODAY,
THAT YOU MAY BE STRONG, AND GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND
WHICH YOU CROSS OVER TO POSSESS,
AND THAT YOU MAY PROLONG YOUR DAYS IN THE LAND WHICH THE LORD
SWORE TO GIVE YOUR FATHERS,
TO THEM AND THEIR DESCENDANTS,
A LAND FLOWING WITH MILK AND HONEY.
FOR THE LAND WHICH YOU GO TO POSSESS IS NOT LIKE THE LAND
OF EGYPT FROM WHICH YOU HAVE COME,
WHERE YOU SOWED YOUR SEED AND WATERED IT BY FOOT,
AS A VEGETABLE GARDEN;
BUT THE LAND WHICH YOU CROSS OVER TO POSSESS
IS A LAND OF HILLS AND VALLEYS,
WHICH DRINKS WATER FROM THE RAIN OF HEAVEN,
A LAND FOR WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD CARES;
THE EYES OF THE LORD YOUR GOD ARE ALWAYS ON IT,
FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR TO THE VERY END OF THE YEAR.
AND IT SHALL BE IF YOU EARNESTLY OBEY MY COMMANDMENTS
WHICH I COMMAND YOU TODAY, TO LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
AND SERVE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
THEN I WILL GIVE YOU THE RAIN FOR YOUR LAND IN ITS SEASON,
THE EARLY RAIN AND THE LATTER RAIN,
THAT YOU MAY GATHER IN YOUR GRAIN, YOUR NEW WINE, AND YOUR OIL."
Deuteronomy 11: 8 - 14


# 5 BRICK
"THEN IT SHALL COME TO PASS,
BECAUSE YOU LISTEN TO THESE JUDGMENTS,
AND KEEP AND DO THEM,
THAT THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL KEEP WITH YOU THE COVENANT AND THE MERCY
WHICH HE SWORE TO YOUR FATHERS.
AND HE WILL LOVE YOU AND BLESS YOU
AND MULTIPLY YOU ;
HE WILL ALSO BLESS THE FRUIT OF YOUR WOMB AND THE FRUIT OF YOUR LAND,
YOUR GRAIN AND YOUR NEW WINE AND YOUR OIL,
THE INCREASE OF YOUR CATTLE,  AND THE OFFSPRING OF YOUR FLOCK,
IN THE LAND OF WHICH HE SWORE TO YOUR FATHERS TO GIVE YOU.
YOU SHALL BE BLESSED ABOVE ALL PEOPLES;
THERE SHALL NOT BE A MALE OR FEMALE BARREN AMONG YOU OR
AMONG YOUR LIVESTOCK."
Deuteronomy 7: 12 - 14


AND WAS ONCE READ
IN YOUR MIDST THE VERSES TO FOLLOW
ON DAY 6, YOU WILL KNOW
THAT EVEN AS THE FIRST 5 BRICKS ARE LAID
THAT IN MY GRACE I HAVE GIVEN UNTO YOU A NEW CHANCE
TO RISE UP AND LOVE ME AND SERVE ME
THE EVIL MUST BE CAST AWAY AND YOU MUST LEARN TO FOLLOW
MY COMMANDS
MY COMMANDS ARE NOT HARD
NEITHER ARE THEY WEARISOME
BUT THEY ARE LIFE AND BREATH AND HOPE AND SUSTENANCE
I WILL NOT LEAD YOU ASTRAY
I WILL LEAD YOU TO A NEW LAND FLOWING WITH LIFE AND LOVE
BUT YOU MUST FOLLOW ME CLOSELY
LEAVING ALL BEHIND THAT CAUSES YOU TO COMPROMISE
LEAVE IT ALL AT THE CROSS AND WALK IN NEWNESS
WITH THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT
THE ISRAELITES DID NOT HAVE MY SPIRIT WITHIN
TO GIVE THEM STRENGTH AND COURAGE
THEY OFTEN FELL SHORT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE
THE POWER TO BELIEVE
BUT THIS DAY
KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ALL THAT YOU NEED
MY SPIRIT DWELLS WITHIN YOU
BUT HOW MUCH OF YOUR LIFE
HAVE YOU CLEANED OUT FOR HIM?
HE CAN ONLY COME AND RULE IN THE AREAS THAT YOU ALLOW
WILL YOU GIVE HIM TOTAL DOMINION THIS DAY?
WILL YOU COME CLEAN AND OFFER HIM A SANCTUARY WITHIN YOU
THAT IS FIT FOR A KING?
I KNOW THAT YOU WILL

AND EVEN AS THE 95 THESIS
WILL END ON THE 6TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
I SPEAK TO YOU OF THE HARVEST TO COME
FOR YOU SEE,
IN PENTECOST, THE RELEASING OF MY SPIRIT
MANKIND WAS GIVEN EVERYTHING TO BRING FORTH MY KINGDOM
BUT AS YOU SEE
MAN COMPROMISED AND RELIGIONIZED
AND MY SPIRIT WAS GIVEN
BUT A CORNER OF EACH LIFE
AND THAT IS NOT ENOUGH TO BRING FORTH THE KINGDOM
BY THE 6TH SUNDAY PAST PENTECOST YOU WILL REALIZE
THE TOTAL TRUTH OF PENTECOST IN YOUR HEARTS AND LIVES
IT IS MUCH MORE THAN YOU EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE
IT IS MY FULL POWER WITHIN
NO INHIBITIONS, NO CONTROL, NO STOPPING
IT WILL TAKE YOU OVER
AND AS THE 7TH WEEK PAST PENTECOST BEGINS
YOU WILL KNOW A NEW VICTORY
WE WILL RETURN TO THE DAYS OF THE PURE PENTECOST
BEFORE MAN BEGAN TO CONTROL AND INHIBIT
COME ALONG WITH ME ON THIS JOURNEY, YOUNG CHURCH
IT WILL SURELY BRING FORTH ALL THAT I HAVE PROMISED

AND AS THE 6TH BRICK IS LAID
I ASK YOU TO CRY OUT
AND CLAIM ONCE MORE
WITH PASSION


# 6 BRICK
"SING, O BARREN,
YOU WHO HAVE NOT BORNE!
BREAK FORTH INTO SINGING, AND CRY ALOUD,
YOU WHO HAVE NOT LABORED WITH CHILD!
FOR MORE ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE
THAN THE CHILDREN OF THE MARRIED WOMAN, SAYS THE LORD.
ENLARGE THE PLACE OF YOUR TENT,
AND LET THEM STRETCH OUT THE CURTAINS OF YOUR DWELLINGS;
DO NOT SPARE;
LENGTHEN YOUR CORDS,
AND STRENGTHEN YOUR STAKES.
FOR YOU SHALL EXPAND TO THE RIGHT AND TO THE LEFT,
AND YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL INHERIT THE NATIONS,
AND MAKE THE DESOLATE CITIES INHABITED.
DO NOT FEAR, FOR YOU WILL NOT BE ASHAMED;
NEITHER BE DISGRACED,
FOR YOU WILL NOT BE PUT TO SHAME;
FOR YOU WILL FORGET THE SHAME OF YOUR YOUTH,
AND WILL NOT REMEMBER THE REPROACH OF YOUR WIDOWHOOD ANYMORE.
FOR YOUR MAKER IS YOUR HUSBAND,
THE LORD OF HOSTS IS HIS NAME;
AND YOUR REDEEMER IS THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL;
HE IS CALLED THE GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH.
FOR THE LORD HAS CALLED YOU LIKE A WOMAN FORSAKEN AND
GRIEVED IN SPIRIT,
LIKE A YOUTHFUL WIFE WHEN YOU WERE REFUSED, SAYS YOUR GOD.
FOR A MERE MOMENT I HAVE FORSAKEN YOU,
BUT WITH GREAT MERCIES I WILL GATHER YOU.
WITH A LITTLE WRATH I HID MY FACE FROM YOU FOR A MOMENT;
BUT WITH EVERLASTING KINDNESS I WILL HAVE MERCY ON YOU,
SAYS THE LORD, YOUR REDEEMER."
Isaiah 54: 1 - 8

I SPEAK OF THE SCOPE
AND SEQUENCE THIS NIGHT
OF MY PLAN
I WILL START THIS MOVEMENT
THIS REVOLUTION
IN THE NORTH WEST CORNER OF THIS WORLD
AND THEN I WILL SPREAD IT TO THE EAST
ENCOMPASSING THE ENTIRE WORLD
IT IS THE PLAN
AND WHAT I PLAN
I WILL DO

# 7 BRICK
"'LOOK TO ABRAHAM YOUR FATHER,
AND TO SARAH WHO BORE YOU;
FOR I CALLED HIM ALONE,
AND BLESSED HIM AND INCREASED HIM.'

FOR THE LORD WILL COMFORT ZION,
HE WILL COMFORT ALL HER WASTE PLACES;
HE WILL MAKE HER WILDERNESS LIKE EDEN,
AND HER DESERT LIKE THE GARDEN OF THE LORD;
JOY AND GLADNESS WILL BE FOUND IN IT,
THANKSGIVING AND THE VOICE OF MELODY.

'LISTEN TO ME, MY PEOPLE;
AND GIVE EAR TO ME, O MY NATION:
FOR LAW WILL PROCEED FROM ME,
AND I WILL MAKE MY JUSTICE REST
AS A LIGHT OF THE PEOPLES.'"
Isaiah 51: 2 - 4

AND WHAT SHALL I
SAY THIS DAY, BUT "SHALOM"
FOR MY PEACE WILL OVERTAKE YOU
AS YOU CONTINUE IN MY WAYS
YOU WILL HAVE OPPOSITION,
BUT THE OPPOSITION WILL BE
SO PLAINLY EVIL THAT YOU WILL HAVE
NO DOUBT OR CONFUSION
PEACE COMES
TO THOSE WHO KNOW AND FOLLOW THE TRUTH
ASK ME
FOR THE TRUTH IN EVERY SITUATION
AND FOR THE COURAGE TO MAKE IT KNOWN
DESPITE ALL OPPOSITION
AND THEN LET IT ALL REST IN MY HANDS
JUSTICE WILL SURELY BE DONE
WHEN YOU CALL FOR THE TRUTH TO REIGN
I PROMISE YOU

***
Well . . .
you knew that it had to happen someday
It is the return of the "bad" prophet
which in actuality, is simply a "true" prophet
As I laid the 7th brick in place this evening
I began to walk away when God instructed me
to turn back toward the land
and look in the Spirit at the results of the brick laying
I saw the land filled with mostly young people
They had banners and were shouting and singing praise to God
They were packed in so tightly - there were truly hundreds of them

I turned once again to leave and God asked me to look once more
He told me that He would show me how it would come about
I saw (in the Spirit, of course) a huge Table set
with a white table cloth
going the length of the grassy area
Jesus was at the Head of the Table
and people were seated in all the seats
These people were not young, however
I looked at the people's feet and the children
and young people were eating the scraps
that the adults would throw to them
Now, don't be offended, it only means
that the children and youth have not learned
to eat the "true food" of the Kingdom yet
without it going through the adults and being taught by them
Without any notice, the table cloth turned red
and most of the adults fell backwards from their chairs
God said that the "food" that is being served
(daily verses on the bricks)
was much too rich for them and many expired
The children rose up and took the adult's places at the Table
and began to eat like they had never eaten before
As they ate they were enthused with excitement and began to dance
More and more children came
to the land and the first vision returned

I deal with adults everyday
who have a Calling and very few will reach it
(10 years later)
for they will not give up anything to gain the Kingdom
The kids will give it all up
They're looking for excitement
They're looking for purpose and a reason to keep living
Give it to them
Feed them the "true food" of the Kingdom
and teach them how to get it for themselves

I lay the bricks and I will continue to lay the bricks
but the bricks come with a cost
They not only build the Kingdom how God wants it built
but in the process
they will surely crush those who will not come along
and submit all to His Lordship

I lay the bricks, but it is the Master Architect
that touches the lives
I simply lay the bricks and one day
there will be no more to lay
What will happen then?
There will be 44 days for those
who have grown strong on the "true food"
to RISE UP and cast out any remaining evil
Even though I was instructed to give to those
of true leadership the Authority
to cast the evil out
It is surely a process
of cleansing and being made strong
which will take most of the 95 days
Do not cast anything out without God's instruction
He will speak to you to do the work
when He knows that you are ready
And in those 44 days I will do a symbolic work
which represents the new building
which will one day have to be built
to house all the people that will gather
to grow in the Anointing

I speak "Shalom," too,
for even though I do the work
I still do not know your hearts
and even as I lay awake this morning listening to God
I heard the doorbell ring and my first thought was
"Oh no - they're returning the bricks to my doorstep!"
I ask you first for your forgiveness
for not trusting you to accept God's work through me
and second
I ask that you would pray for me
that God would give me all the strength that I need
to finish this work
There is much more to the symbolism than the laying of the bricks
and in the natural - I cannot do it
God asked me when I responded to the doorbell as I did,
"What if they do return the bricks to your doorstep?"
I told Him that I would simply keep laying them every night as He told me to
So . . . the work will be done
Even if it is only done for the children
It will be done

WELL SAID
BUT YOU FORGOT ONE THING:
AND UNTO YOU, YOUNG CHURCH
IS GIVEN THE TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THIS MOVEMENT
I COULD HAVE CHOSEN ANY NUMBER OF CHURCHES
THERE ARE STILL CHURCHES MOVING IN MY POWER
THERE ARE CHURCHES WITH BETTER YOUTH GROUPS
THERE ARE CHURCHES WHICH LISTEN TO ME QUICKER

BUT I CHOSE YOU
AND UNTO YOU IS GIVEN THIS GIFT
I ASK YOU THIS NIGHT TO GIVE IT BACK TO ME
SUBMIT YOURSELVES TO ALL THAT I SPEAK TO YOU
FOR IN DOING SO
YOU WILL
TRULY SAVE THE CHILDREN
MANY OF THEM
YOUR OWN


# 8 BRICK
"YES, I HAVE LOVED YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE;
THEREFORE WITH LOVING-KINDNESS I HAVE DRAWN YOU.
AGAIN I WILL BUILD YOU,  AND YOU SHALL BE REBUILT,
O VIRGIN OF ISRAEL!
YOU SHALL AGAIN BE ADORNED WITH YOUR TAMBOURINES,
AND SHALL GO FORTH IN THE DANCES OF THOSE WHO REJOICE.
YOU SHALL YET PLANT VINES ON THE MOUNTAINS OF SAMARIA;
THE PLANTERS SHALL PLANT AND EAT THEM AS ORDINARY FOOD.
FOR THERE SHALL BE A DAY WHEN THE WATCHMEN WILL CRY ON
MOUNT EPHRAIM,
'ARISE, AND LET US GO UP TO ZION,
TO THE LORD OUR GOD.'
FOR THUS SAYS THE LORD:
SING WITH GLADNESS FOR JACOB,
AND SHOUT AMONG THE CHIEF OF THE NATIONS;
PROCLAIM, GIVE PRAISE, AND SAY,
'O LORD, SAVE YOUR PEOPLE, THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL!'
BEHOLD, I WILL BRING THEM FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY,
AND GATHER THEM FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH,
AMONG THEM THE BLIND AND THE LAME,
THE WOMAN WITH CHILD AND THE ONE WHO LABORS WITH CHILD TOGETHER;
A GREAT THRONG SHALL RETURN THERE.
THEY SHALL COME WITH WEEPING, AND WITH SUPPLICATIONS I WILL LEAD THEM.
I WILL CAUSE THEM TO WALK BY THE RIVERS OF WATERS,
IN A STRAIGHT WAY IN WHICH THEY SHALL NOT STUMBLE;
FOR I AM A FATHER TO ISRAEL, AND EPHRAIM IS MY FIRSTBORN.
HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD, O NATIONS,
AND DECLARE IT IN THE ISLES AFAR OFF, AND SAY,
'HE WHO SCATTERED ISRAEL WILL GATHER HIM,
AND KEEP HIM AS A SHEPHERD DOES HIS FLOCK.'
FOR THE LORD HAS REDEEMED JACOB,
AND RANSOMED HIM FROM THE HAND OF ONE STRONGER THAN HE.
THEREFORE THEY SHALL COME AND SING IN THE HEIGHT OF ZION,
STREAMING TO THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD ---
FOR WHEAT AND NEW WINE AND OIL,
FOR THE YOUNG OF THE FLOCK AND THE HERD;
THEIR SOULS SHALL BE LIKE A WELL-WATERED GARDEN,
AND THEY SHALL SORROW NO MORE AT ALL.
THEN SHALL THE VIRGIN REJOICE IN THE DANCE,
AND THE YOUNG MEN AND THE OLD, TOGETHER;
FOR I WILL TURN THEIR MOURNING TO JOY,
WILL COMFORT THEM,
AND MAKE THEM REJOICE RATHER THAN SORROW.
I WILL SATIATE THE SOUL OF THE PRIESTS WITH ABUNDANCE,
AND MY PEOPLE SHALL BE SATISFIED WITH MY GOODNESS,
SAYS THE LORD."
Jeremiah 31: 3 - 14


# 9 BRICK
"BEHOLD, I WILL BRING IT HEALTH AND HEALING;
I WILL HEAL THEM AND REVEAL TO THEM THE ABUNDANCE OF PEACE AND TRUTH.
AND I WILL CAUSE THE CAPTIVES OF JUDAH AND THE CAPTIVES OF ISRAEL
TO RETURN, AND WILL REBUILD THOSE PLACES AS AT THE FIRST.
I WILL CLEANSE THEM FROM ALL THEIR INIQUITY BY WHICH THEY HAVE SINNED AGAINST ME,
AND I WILL PARDON ALL THEIR INIQUITIES BY WHICH THEY HAVE SINNED
AND BY WHICH THEY HAVE TRANSGRESSED AGAINST ME.
THEN IT SHALL BE TO ME A NAME OF JOY, A PRAISE, AND AN HONOR
BEFORE ALL NATIONS OF THE EARTH,
WHO SHALL HEAR ALL THE GOOD THAT I DO TO THEM;
THEY SHALL FEAR AND TREMBLE FOR ALL THE GOODNESS AND THE PROSPERITY
THAT I PROVIDE FOR IT.
THUS SAYS THE LORD:
'AGAIN THERE SHALL BE HEARD IN THIS PLACE OF WHICH  YOU SAY,
'IT IS DESOLATE, WITHOUT MAN AND WITHOUT BEAST,
IN THE CITIES OF JUDAH, IN THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM THAT ARE DESOLATE,
WITHOUT MAN AND WITHOUT INHABITANT AND WITHOUT BEAST,
THE VOICE OF JOY AND THE VOICE OF GLADNESS,
THE VOICE OF THE BRIDEGROOM AND THE VOICE OF THE BRIDE,
THE VOICE OF THOSE WHO WILL SAY:

'PRAISE THE LORD OF HOSTS,
FOR THE LORD IS GOOD,
FOR HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER'

AND OF THOSE WHO WILL BRING
THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE INTO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD.
FOR I WILL CAUSE THE CAPTIVES OF THE LAND TO RETURN AS AT THE FIRST,'
SAYS THE LORD."
Jeremiah 33: 6 - 11

AND THE PROMISES COME
AND THEY COME AND THEY COME
ALL THAT I HAVE SAID WILL COME TO PASS
IT WILL TAKE TIME
BUT IT WILL SURELY HAPPEN
YOU HAVE BEEN DESTINED
FOR THIS OCCUPATION OF MY PEOPLE
MY ANOINTED PEOPLE
AND I WILL BRING IT TO PASS
YOU WILL BE A REFUGE FOR MY ANOINTED
AND EVEN SO,
THE CAPTAIN WILL RISE UP WITH WORDS FOR THE WORLD
“A MAN WILL RISE UP”
AND TO THIS WORLD HE WILL SPEAK
AS NO ONE HAS EVER SPOKEN BEFORE
WITH AUTHORITY AND POWER
WITH WORDS OF FREEDOM AND LIFE
HE WILL SPEAK
AND THE WORLD WILL CHANGE
ONCE JUST A "TWIG," BUT A BRANCH I WILL MAKE HIM
FROM THE TREE OF LIFE HE WILL SPEAK
FROM THE TREE OF LIFE HE WILL BECKON THE WORLD
TO COME

COME AND LIVE
COME AND KNOW THE FATHER
COME AND BREATHE IN THE FRESH AIR OF HEAVEN
COME AND BE EMPOWERED
COME AND CHANGE THIS WORLD
COME AND BRING FORTH THE KINGDOM
COME

AND THUS, IT WILL BE
AND THUS IT HAS ALREADY BEEN RECORDED
IN THE HEAVENS
NOW
"JUST DO IT"
AS MY HAND RESTS UPON YOU
AND MY HEART BEATS WITHIN YOU
AND I RISE UP IN POWER
TO SEIZE YOU
AND MAKE YOU COMPLETELY
MINE!

# 10 BRICK
"FOR THUS SAYS THE LORD:
AFTER SEVENTY YEARS ARE COMPLETED AT BABYLON,
I WILL VISIT YOU AND PERFORM MY GOOD WORD TOWARD YOU,
AND CAUSE YOU TO RETURN TO THIS PLACE.
FOR I KNOW THE THOUGHTS THAT I THINK TOWARD YOU,
SAYS THE LORD, THOUGHTS OF PEACE AND NOT OF EVIL,
TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE AND A HOPE.
THEN YOU WILL CALL UPON ME AND GO AND PRAY TO ME,
AND I WILL LISTEN TO YOU.
AND YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME,
WHEN YOU SEARCH FOR ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.
I WILL BE FOUND BY YOU, SAYS THE LORD,
AND I WILL BRING YOU BACK FROM YOUR CAPTIVITY;
I WILL GATHER YOU FROM ALL THE NATIONS AND FROM ALL THE PLACES
WHERE I HAVE DRIVEN YOU, SAYS THE LORD,
AND I WILL BRING YOU TO THE PLACE FROM WHICH I CAUSE
YOU TO BE CARRIED AWAY CAPTIVE."
Jeremiah 29: 10 -14

YOU HAVE SURELY HEARD THESE VERSES MANY TIMES
BUT LOOK AT THEM CLOSELY
FOR YOU SEE WHEN THEY ARE QUOTED
THEY ARE NOT QUOTED IN FULL
PEOPLE THINK THAT I WILL GIVE THEM A HOPE AND A FUTURE
BUT THEY FAIL TO MEET MY CRITERIA
I LOOK AT THE HEART
I DON'T LOOK AT THE SERVICES AND PROGRAMS
OR EVEN THE PRAYERS
I LOOK AT THE HEART
IS YOUR HEART ALL MINE?
IT CAN BE
MOST ARE AFRAID TO GIVE ME THEIR HEART
THINKING THAT THEY WILL LOSE EVERYTHING OF VALUE
BUT WHEN YOU GIVE ME YOUR HEART
THAT IS WHEN YOU CAN TRULY DETERMINE WHAT IS OF VALUE
IN THIS WORLD AND WHAT ISN'T
I WILL LISTEN TO YOUR PRAYERS
WHEN YOUR HEART IS ALL MINE
WHEN YOU LAY EVERYTHING DOWN TO SEEK ME
WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART
AND WHAT SHALL YOUR PRAYER BE?
WHAT WILL I LISTEN TO AND ANSWER?
IN MANY CHURCHES MANY ARE SICK AND DYING
WILL I ANSWER THEIR PRAYERS TO HEAL THE SICK?
MANY ARE IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE
WILL I ANSWER THEIR PLEAS
TO DELIVER UNTO THEM A JOB AND MONEY?
MANY ARE AFRAID OF THE FUTURE
WILL I COME AND HOLD THEIR HAND?
IT DEPENDS
WHERE IS THEIR HEART?
ARE THEY MINE?
AND WHAT SHALL THE PRAYER BE
IN THESE TIMES TO THE ALMIGHTY GOD?
I WILL GIVE YOU A SIMPLE VERSION THAT COVERS IT ALL
PRAY IT WITH ME AND TRULY ALL WILL BE WELL IN THE HOUSE

“I COME TO YOU
ALMIGHTY GOD AND I ASK FORGIVENESS
FOR MY DIVIDED HEART
I ASK YOU TO TAKE MY HEART FROM ME
AND MAKE IT COMPLETELY YOURS
I SURRENDER ALL THAT I AM
ALL THAT I WILL BE
I ASK THAT YOUR PERFECT WILL BE DONE IN MY LIFE
AND IN THE LIFE OF MY CHURCH
I LAY DOWN MY LIFE AS A SACRIFICE
AND I ASK YOU FOR THE COURAGE
TO OBEY YOU IN PERFECT OBEDIENCE”

EASY
THAT'S ALL I WANT TO HEAR
I WILL DO THE REST
SHALOM, CHURCH
SHALOM AND PEACE SHALL SURELY BE YOURS
AS YOU PRAY AND WAIT FOR MY SALVATION
TO BE MADE KNOWN


***
AND TO MY SERVANT, I SAY, "PEACE"
FOR YOU LAY THE BRICKS IN PERFECT PROGRESSION
BUT YOU WANT TO TURN AND RUN FROM THE LAND
YOU STILL FEAR, BUT I WILL SURELY REMOVE THAT FROM YOU
THE BRICKS MUST BE LAID
THE CHURCH MUST RISE UP TO MEET MY CALL
AND YOU MUST KNOW THAT IT IS TRULY "HOME BASE" ONCE MORE
I WILL GIVE YOU PEACE AS TIME PROGRESSES
RUN, IF YOU WILL
BUT ONE DAY YOU WILL WANT TO STAY
IT IS JUST AS I TAUGHT YOU WITH YOUR GARAGE DOOR OPENER
IT HASN'T WORKED SO YOU HIT THE SWITCH AND RUN OUT
AS FAST AS YOU CAN
AND ISN'T THAT HOW YOU HAVE DELIVERED THE WORDS
I HAVE SPOKEN
ALL THESE YEARS?
YOU "HIT THE SWITCH"
DELIVER THE WORDS AND RUN
BUT SOMEDAY, SOMEDAY SOON
YOU WILL NO LONGER NEED TO RUN
SHALOM?

Thinking about it . . . .
