My people, there are multitudes of people all around you who are walking
in the darkness and are perishing. They are hopeless and despairing,
longing for a reason to go on. Can you not hear their cries for help?
Can you not recognize the look of helplessness in their eyes? My heart
aches at their situation and My heart breaks at the indifference of My
own. Ask of Me, and I will share with you My burden and concern for
them. Allow Me to remove the stony heart that you have and replace it
with one that beats with Mine. Allow Me to show you their needs and
their longings, and then allow Me to send you and use you as My
ambassador to minister to those needs. So many need Me, and so few of
my own are even willing to involve themselves. Too many in My own
household are beset with sin and engulfed in darkness. Others are
simply oblivious to those around them-those with whom they are in
contact every day. You are so wrapped up in your own little world that
you do not even see or recognize the souls of others, nor concern
yourself with their eternal destiny.

Who will go for Me? If My own do not even seek to share Me with them,
then who will? Have I not chosen My own to be vessels through which I
flow? Are you not to be the instruments through which I manifest My
love and salvation to others? You were among those who did not know
Me-did not understand that I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life-till
someone reached out to you and were willing to be used of Me to touch
your life. "Freely you have received, freely give."

Do you lack desire for this service unto Me? Then come and I will
place within your heart My desires. Do you fear your own inadequacies?
Then come and allow My Spirit to fill you and teach you and use you. Do
you feel that you lack opportunity? Then allow Me to open your eyes and
the doors to reach those to whom I would have you minister.

The darkness is descending-and there comes a day, and that sooner than
you think-when no man can work. NOW is the time to reach out to as many
as you can, lest they too be swept away in the days yet to come.
