FIND THE TRUTH
U2

"I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.”
“Rattle and Hum”  U2

A SONG IS SUNG
A SONG IS GIVEN UNTO THE CHURCH
UNTO A BLACK GOSPEL CHOIR
AND WHAT IS THE RESULT?
"I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR"
ALL JOIN TOGETHER IN THESE LAST DAYS TO SEARCH
CHRISTIAN AND NON-CHRISTIAN ALIKE
WHAT DO THEY SEEK?
SOMEHOW THEY KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE
THEY KNOW WITHIN THEIR SPIRITS THAT THIS CANNOT
BE ALL THAT THERE IS

AND SERVANT OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, I SPEAK TO YOU
HAVE YOU FOUND ALL THAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR?

Yes, I surely have
I have found more of You than I can hold within me

ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH YOUR "GOD EXPERIENCE?"

Only if You are
For you see, I did not seek You for only my needs,
but to meet Yours

AND WHY DO YOU THINK THAT I HAVE NEEDS THAT MUST BE MET?

We were made in Your Image and if I experience loneliness then You,
too must experience a need to be
intimately known by others

EXACTLY

DO YOU LACK FOR ANYTHING SINCE YOU MET ME?

The ability to hold as much of You as You offer to me

THEN, CHILD, WHY DO YOU STILL LOOK AT THE CHURCHES
AND WONDER WHEN YOU WILL BE INVITED BACK IN?
YOU HAVE ALL THAT YOU NEED OF ME
IS THERE SOMETHING STILL MISSING?

I miss being with others that know You as I do

YOU WON'T FIND THEM IN THE BUILDINGS OF MODERN-DAY CHURCHES
YOU WILL FIND THEM THROUGH THE SPIRIT CONNECTION
I WILL BRING THEM TO YOU
I PROMISE!
AND AS FOR THE CHURCH BUILDINGS
YOU, THIS DAY, ARE FORBIDDEN TO ENTER
ANY PRESENT-DAY CHURCH
THERE WILL BE CHURCHES BUILT IN THE FUTURE
WHICH WILL TRULY HONOR ME
BUT FOR NOW AND FOR THIS HOUR
YOU WILL NOT FIND THOSE OF COMMON FAITH AND EXPERIENCE
WITHIN THESE WALLS
UNDERSTAND?

Yes Sir

COME AND BE FILLED WITH ME
AND BE READY TO GIVE ME OUT TO ALL

It's a "wrap!"
I am completely "wrapped" up in You
and to this end, will I give so others will know that once
they truly find You
that there will not be the cry,
"I still haven't found what I am looking for"

LOOK, PEOPLE, AND YOU WILL FIND
LOOK FOR ME
FOLLOW YOUR HEART
TREAT ME AS YOU WOULD TREAT YOUR BEST FRIEND
TREAT ME AS ONE WHO GAVE UP ALL FOR YOU
FOR I HAVE
AND SOON, YOU TOO, WILL YELL OUT WITH MY SERVANT
"I HAVE FOUND WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR"

TRUE PEACE
SOUTH KOREA

"South Korean President Kim Dae-Jung said Wednesday he is pardoning
one million residents punished for minor crimes and will release
two convicted North Korean spies to celebrate the start of a new century.”
The Oregonian

"PEACE" IS THE BY-WORD OF THIS NEW ERA
THE WORLD SPEAKS "PEACE"
TRIUMPHANTLY THEY SPEAK "PEACE"
AND YES, IF ONLY "PEACE" - TRUE PEACE WAS POSSIBLE
THE SIGNS OF "PEACE" WILL INCREASE IN THIS DECADE
AND THE WORLD WILL JOIN TOGETHER AS NEVER BEFORE
ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT?
POSSIBLE
BUT WHAT PRICE WILL THIS "PEACE" COST THOSE
WHO DO NOT SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT IN CHARGE?
PRESIDENT KIM DAE-JUNG MAKES A BOLD MOVE AND FORGIVES
HE OFFERS CLEMENCY TO THOSE WHO HAVE BROKEN THE RULES
OF HIS GOVERNMENT
BUT I TELL YOU THE TRUTH
THERE WILL BE NO "PEACE" FOR THOSE WHO WILL NOT FOLLOW
THE ONE-RULE GOVERNMENT TO COME
EVEN NOW YOU CANNOT IMAGINE IT
YOU CANNOT IMAGINE THE COUNTRIES COMING TOGETHER
IN SUCH "PEACE"
BUT LOOK AT JANUARY 1ST AND WASN'T THERE UNITY
BROUGHT FORTH ACROSS THE GLOBE?
IT CAN HAPPEN AND IT WILL HAPPEN
THINK OF "PEACE" AND HOW IT IS ACHIEVED
IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS ACHIEVED THROUGH COMPROMISE
HOW MUCH WILL YOU COMPROMISE?
HOW MUCH OF YOUR INTEGRITY AND BELIEFS WILL YOU
DISPOSE OF TO BRING "PEACE?"
IS "PEACE" ALWAYS GOOD?
I SAY THAT IT ISN'T
FOR OFTEN TIMES IT ACTUALLY DESTROYS
ONE'S BELIEFS TO BRING FORTH A CLONED SOCIETY
THINK PEOPLE!
BEGIN THINKING NOW OF HOW YOU WILL LIVE WHEN YOUR FREEDOM
TO KNOW ME AND WORSHIP ME IS DESTROYED
THERE IS TIME TO PREPARE
BUT I SPEAK TO YOU TODAY OF THE OUTCOME
AND THE COST OF "PEACE"
"PEACE" HAS ITS PRICE
AND HAS NOT CHRISTIANITY ALREADY PRACTICED
THIS ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT THROUGH THEIR EMBRACEMENT
OF THE ECUMENICAL MOVEMENT OF DAYS PAST?
HOW MUCH OF YOUR BELIEFS THAT WERE FOUNDED IN MY VERY BEING
DID YOU FORFEIT, PEOPLE, TO APPEAR AS ONE TO THE WORLD?
WAS IT WORTH IT OR DID IT ACCOMPLISH MUCH OF THE SAME
THAT CONSTANTINE ACCOMPLISHED WITH HIS DECREE THAT
"ALL ARE TO BE CHRISTIAN?"
DON'T SELL YOUR SOUL FOR "PEACE"
DON'T SELL YOUR SOUL TO BELONG
DON'T SELL YOUR SOUL
DELIVER IT UP TO THE MASTER OF THIS WORLD
THE CREATOR - THE LORD OF LIFE
SURRENDER ALL THAT YOU ARE AND YOU WILL KNOW
TRUE AND LASTING PEACE
THIS PEACE DOES NOT COMPROMISE TRUTH
NEVER
PEACE IS ONLY PEACE
IN THE PRESENCE OF TRUTH

I BID YOU
TRUE PEACE
IN THIS NEW MILLENNIUM!

R. KELLY

"See this man . . . Know this man . . . Touch this man . . . Embrace this man . . .
Pay this man . . . Believe this man . . . Trust this man . . . Belong to this man . .
Take care of this man . . . Love this man . . . Pray for this man"
R. Kelly  "R."

DID YOU EVER THINK
YOUNG MAN, THAT I WOULD RESPOND TO YOUR REQUEST?
DID YOU EVER THINK
THAT WITH ALL YOUR RICHES THAT THERE WOULD
STILL BE A PLACE IN YOUR BEING FOR ME?
DID YOU EVER THINK
THAT I WOULD CARE ENOUGH TO SEND YOU
A PERSONAL MESSAGE
JUST FOR YOU?
DID YOU EVER THINK
OF HOW DEEP MY LOVE IS FOR YOU?
DID YOU EVER THINK
THAT I WOULD KNOW ALL YOUR DESIRES, HOPES AND DREAMS?
DID YOU EVER THINK
THAT I COULD BECOME YOUR BEST FRIEND?

YOU SOLICIT PRAYERS FROM THE PEOPLE ON YOUR CD
WELL . . . I AM HERE AND LISTENING
AND YES, THE PEOPLE DO PRAY FOR YOU
AND SO I WILL ANSWER

I LOVE YOU, SON!
I LOVE YOU AS YOU ARE
I LOVE YOU AS YOU PURSUE ALL THAT YOU THINK
WILL MAKE YOU HAPPY
BUT I AM THERE, TOO, AT YOUR SIDE
FOR YOU SEE, I WILL BE THERE FOR THAT ONE MOMENT IN TIME
WHEN YOU TURN TO ME AND ASK ME TO BE YOUR
ALL IN ALL
THE TIME IS COMING
THE TIME IS SHORT
SUCCESS YOU HAVE WON - YOU HAVE EARNED
YOU HAVE ALL THAT THIS EARTH CAN GIVE
BUT SON, DON'T YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE?
I INVITE YOU TO TURN TO ME AND FIND ME
I AM THE MISSING PIECE
I AM WITH YOU IN THE QUIETNESS OF YOUR SPIRIT
I AM WITH YOU WHEN YOU ARE BUSY AND OVERBOOKED
I AM WITH YOU AND WILL NOT LEAVE YOU
TALK TO ME

I BELIEVE YOU CAN FLY, TOO
I BELIEVE ONE DAY YOU WILL FLY THROUGH MY OPENED DOOR

AND WE WILL SURELY FLY TOGETHER
FATHER AND SON
FRIEND TO FRIEND
I BELIEVE IN YOU, R. KELLY
COME
AND REALLY BELIEVE IN ME

HEROES OF FREEDOM

"All that great stuff we’ve gotten from computers and the Internet
so far is nothing compared to what’s coming.”
Newsweek magazine

"Self-styled freedom fighter leaflets Havana by air.
The pilot, who escaped from a Vietnamese prison camp, urges Cubans to overthrow their government. ‘Anywhere there is no justice, no freedom,
I will come there.’”
The Associated Press

PEOPLE, YOU "AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET"
OF THE HEROES WHICH I WILL BRING FORTH
IN THESE NEXT “10” YEARS
THESE WILL BE PEOPLE WITH PASSION - WITH A MISSION
YES, FROM GOD
AND THEY WILL ACCOMPLISH THEIR WORK FULLY
I WILL BRING FORTH COURAGE UPON THESE PEOPLE
TO GET THE JOB DONE

YES, THE INTERNET SOARS WITH USE AND MISUSE
BUT FINALLY, THERE IS SOMETHING GRAND THAT JOINS THE WORLD
TOGETHER FOR INFORMATION
I, TOO, WILL USE THIS "VEHICLE" TO LAUNCH MY PROGRAMS
WATCH AND SEE WHAT I WILL DO
STAY TUNED . . .

WHAT IS A HERO?
A HERO IS SOMEONE WHO CHOOSES NOT TO THINK OF THEMSELVES
AS ANYTHING OF VALUE COMPARED TO THE WORK THAT THEY MUST DO
I HAVE A WORK FOR MANY TO DO AND I AM LOOKING FOR HEROES

I WILL SET FREE THE CUBAN PEOPLE
A SMALL BOY ENDS UP IN THE UNITED STATES
A SYMBOL - PERHAPS, BUT ONE THAT THE WORLD WATCHES
ONE SMALL BOY IS THE ATTENTION OF ALL
AND YET, DO NOT FORGET ALL THOSE REMAINING UNDER THE TYRANNY
OF ONE MAN
I WANT THEM ALL FREE
IN 1997 I SPOKE A WORD TO MY SERVANT OF MY ACTIONS
(see CUBA)
AND AS WE SPEAK EVEN NOW
I HAVE COVERT MISSIONS IN ACTION
CHECK THE NEWSPAPERS, MY FRIENDS
I WILL ACCOMPLISH MY WORD

AND SO THIS WORD ENDS, BUT DOES IT?
DOES IT EVER END AS I AM PREPARING MY HEROES IN SECRET?
THEY STEP FORWARD AND TAKE THIS WORLD BY ALARM
THEY DO "CRAZY" THINGS, BUT LOOK AT THE PURPOSE
THE PURPOSE IS ALWAYS
FREEDOM
WILL YOU BE WILLING TO DIE FOR FREEDOM?
WE WILL SEE IN THE COMING DAYS . . .
WHO WILL BE A HERO OR . . .
WHO WILL REMAIN A CLONE

BOB DYLAN

"Precious angel . . . you either got faith of you got unbelief and there
ain’t no neutral ground . . . the enemy is subtle . . . when the truth’s in our hearts and we still don’t believe . . . shine your light ---
shine your light on me.”
"Slow Train Coming"

BOB, MY FRIEND, IT'S TIME TO TALK ONCE MORE
FOR YOU SEE, ONCE THE TRUTH WAS PLANTED
SO DEEPLY WITHIN YOUR BEING
AND YOU EMBRACED IT WITH ALL THAT YOU ARE
BUT TIME HAS COME AND GONE
AND BUSY YOU HAVE BECOME
BUT THE TRUTH IS STILL THERE DEEP WITHIN YOUR HEART
THE MEDIA IS QUICK TO JUMP UPON A MAN
OF FAITH AND STRONG BELIEF
AND TEAR YOU APART
A MERE BABE YOU WERE IN THE FAITH BUT YOU STOOD STRONG
STRONG AND TALL IN THE KINGDOM
I TELL YOU, SON
IT IS TIME TO STAND STRONG AGAIN
FOR THE FORCES OF EVIL ARE COMING UPON MANKIND
IN MANY FORMS
AND MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES WILL NOT SURVIVE
UNLESS YOU SHARE THAT TRUTH
THAT WAS EMBEDDED DEEP WITHIN YOU
I WILL TAKE AWAY THE DOUBT AND THE CONFUSION
I WILL LIVEN YOUR STEP AND BRING FORTH VISIONS AND DREAMS
TO CONFIRM MY WORDS
 A WAR IS ABOUT TO BEGIN
A WAR FOR MEN'S HEARTS AND SOULS
AND YOU MUST FIGHT WITH ME
YOU MUST STAND TALL AND STRONG AND BRING FORTH LIFE
TO THE "KINGDOM" WHICH I HAVE PUT YOU OVER
A STAR YOU HAVE BEEN
WORSHIPPED YOU HAVE BEEN IN MANY WAYS
BUT THIS WILL REQUIRE MORE THAN JUST SONGS
THIS WILL REQUIRE ALL THAT YOU ARE
ALL THAT YOU WILL BECOME
COME, SON
WE HAVE SOME CATCHING UP TO DO
YOUR PLACE OR MINE?

FREEDOM FIGHTERS
ROBBEN ISLAND, SOUTH AFRICA

"Nelson Mandela lit a solitary candle from the cell where he spent
two decades as a political prisoner. His millennial admonition?
‘The freedom flame can never be put down by anybody.’”
Time magazine

ONE SOLITARY CANDLE IS LIT TO SHOW THE WORLD
THAT THERE IS STILL
LIGHT
THERE IS STILL PROMISE --- THERE IS STILL HOPE
FREEDOM POLITICALLY IS ACHIEVABLE
BUT I SEEK FOR A GREATER FREEDOM
SPIRITUAL FREEDOM
IT NEED NOT BE CALLED RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
FOR THAT WHOLLY ENDORSES RELIGION

AS YOU MAY TELL FROM MY WORDS
I SPEAK ONLY OF THE ONE WAY WHICH MAN
HAS BEEN GIVEN TO MEET ME
AND THAT IS THROUGH MY SON, JESUS THE CHRIST
OH YES, HE WAS A GREAT TEACHER AND YES, HE WAS A PROPHET
AND SOMETIMES, OFTEN TIMES HE APPEARED TO BE "CRAZY"
BUT HE WAS ME IN PERSON
AND THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO SAY IT
THESE ARE THE DAYS WHEN THE RELIGIOUS WILL SEEK
TO COME TOGETHER AS ONE
AND COMBINE THEIR BELIEFS AND COMPROMISE
TO BECOME ONE VOICE
BUT IF YOU DO SO YOU WILL LOSE ME
I DO NOT CHANGE THE TRUTH BECAUSE PEOPLE
DO NOT EMBRACE IT
THE TRUTH REMAINS
I CAME TO EARTH, BORN OF A VIRGIN, LIVED,
DIED AND ROSE AGAIN
TO BRING FORTH RADICAL REBELS TO THIS WORLD'S SYSTEMS
AND PRACTICES IN RELIGION, GREED, LUST,
HYPOCRISY, HATRED, AND STRIFE
I DID NOT COME TO BRING FORTH A NEW RELIGION
I CAME TO ABOLISH RELIGION
I CAME TO EMBODY THOSE WHO WILL SURRENDER THEIR LIVES TO ME
RELIGION IS THE SEEKING OF GOD
TRUE RADICAL CHRISTIANITY IS THE INCARNATE GOD
LIVING WITHIN AN INDIVIDUAL
THESE TWO CONCEPTS AND REALITIES
ARE WORLDS APART
ONE - RELIGION IS OF MAN AND OF THE NATURAL MIND
TWO - CHRISTIANITY IS BIRTHED WHOLLY IN ME
AND IS OF MY BEING
YOU MUST KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
TO TRULY CHOOSE
I SAY THIS DAY,
CHOOSE LIFE
CHOOSE FREEDOM
CHOOSE ME
AND "LIGHT A CANDLE!"

ELVIS PRESLEY
KING OF ROCK AND ROLL

"Elvis gave young people a voice that they’d never had before, and a freedom they reveled in. Elvis’ music and style ushered in the 1960’s. Suddenly young people were free, alive and rebelling. He gave youth the courage to stage
anti-war protests, to fight for civil rights and to march in support of the women’s movement . . . more than that, it’s why Elvis is still our king.”
Elvis 2000

"Voted person of the century . . . Elvis Presley
Event of the century . . . Elvis’ teaching teens
to rock and roll.”
Time magazine --- online poll

AND WHAT IS A KING?
AND WHO DO YOU SUPPOSE BECOMES A KING IN THIS WORLD?
ELVIS LED THE YOUNG PEOPLE TO A NEW ERA
MANY CALLED IT EVIL, BUT WAS IT TRULY EVIL
OR JUST DIFFERENT?
BECAUSE HE WAS DIFFERENT IN HIS APPROACH TO MUSIC AND LIFE
HE GAVE YOUNG PEOPLE THE COURAGE TO BE THEMSELVES
TO HAVE COURAGE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
TO MAKE A STATEMENT
HE WAS TRULY A "KING"
I'M LOOKING FOR KINGS IN THIS NEW GENERATION
I'M LOOKING FOR YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN
THAT ARE NOT AFRAID TO BE DIFFERENT
THAT ARE NOT AFRAID TO MAKE A STAND
AND STATE THEIR CASE AND PURPOSE
I'M LOOKING FOR INDIVIDUALS TO LEAD A REVOLUTION
ELVIS LED A REVOLUTION AND BROUGHT FORTH
A BRAND NEW MUSIC DIMENSION
CAN YOU SEE A NEW DIMENSION WITH YOUR EYES, PEOPLE?
BARELY
BUT IF YOU WOULD COME CLOSE TO ME
I WOULD SHOW YOU A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES
BUT YOU MUST ASK ME FOR COURAGE
FOR YOU WILL BE OSTRACIZED AND RIDICULED AND REBUKED
FOR BEING DIFFERENT
BUT KINGS ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE REST, AREN'T THEY?
THEY SURELY ARE
COME AND I WILL MAKE YOU A KING
ELVIS WAS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL

I AM
THE KING THAT IS TRULY THE ROCK
AND WILL SOMEDAY CALL THE ROLL

WILL YOUR NAME BE ON IT?


***
AND SO, YOUNG PROPHET, ONE MORE WEEK IS WRAPPED UP
THE WORD IS GOING OUT EVEN AS YOU WRITE
THESE ARE NOT YOUR WORDS NOR YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO SPREAD THEM
THIS IS ALL MY DOING AND MY PERFECT WILL
THE LIVES THAT WILL BE CHANGED FROM READING THESE WORDS
WILL START A SURE REVOLUTION
SIT BACK AND WATCH FOR YOU WILL SEE THE RESULTS
VERY, VERY SOON
AND ON TO WEEK 5 WE WILL GO
FOR I WILL NOT STOP SPEAKING AS LONG AS THERE ARE EARS TO HEAR
MORE AND MORE ARE BEING OPENED EACH DAY
LEAVE IT ALL IN MY HANDS
I AM FAITHFUL TO ACCOMPLISH MY WORD
I AM FAITHFUL TO KEEP YOU SAFELY IN MY ARMS
I AM FAITHFUL TO MY OWN
I AM A FAITHFUL GOD
I WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW THAT I AM A FAITHFUL GOD
FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION
I SPEAK AND I LOVE AND I WOO
AND OFTEN I MUST PUNISH
BUT MY GOAL IS TO ALWAYS BRING PEOPLE INTO MY PRESENCE
TO KNOW ME AND TO LOVE ME
AS I KNOW THEM AND LOVE THEM
SHALOM, CHILD
WEEK 5 WILL ALREADY BEGIN TO BURN WITHIN YOU
AS YOU REST
RELEASE THE FIRE WHEN IT BECOMES TOO HOT TO CARRY ALONE
RELEASE IT
AND SEE THE FLAMES OVERTAKE THE PEOPLE
MY WILL IS BEING ACCOMPLISHED
PERFECTLY
