October 22, 2000:
These are the days of My power that I have spoken of. Indeed the prophets of old have spoken of these days, but I speak to you today of spiritual reality. My desire today is that My word becomes alive in you, that it becomes a beacon of light that shines through any darkness that may abide in you, that it may disburse that light and bring you forth as a son of glory. Is it not written that the whole earth travails waiting for the manifestation of the sons of glory? If I were to come to you today and say to you that these are those days, would you believe? For indeed this is the hour of the transformation of My people. For, you have seen Christ high and lifted up, and you have watched Him (in the Word) even walk to the top of the Mount of Transfiguration, but I say unto you that in these days even those of you who are like Peter and John shall be transformed with Him as you the servants of the Lord rise up into that place, says the Lord, I will shine My light upon you, and you shall live in a new dimension of time--the time of the empowerment of My people. This is that day that has been written about. This is a day of equipping.

Words from the Lord to Marsha Burns:

October 23, 2000:
Stop! Look! Listen! See if you can discern the times and the season that is upon you. For behold, you are in a time of progression and a season of positioning in My kingdom. Push through the gray dawn of shadows where your path is uncertain, and come into the full light of My plans and purposes for you. I have called you out of obscurity into clarity. No longer will you wander through life with your mind filled with questions and doubt about where you belong. I tell you the truth, I will move you with precision and accuracy. But, in order for you to be perceptive to My leading, you must rise above your own reasoning and your own soul desires to live in the Spirit. I urge you to break out of the limitations of the flesh like a butterfly breaks out of its cocoon. It is time for you to walk by faith and no longer be restrained by what you know by your senses. This is a new day and a new time, and it is imperative that you discern the moving of My Spirit.

October 24, 2000:
I speak to those of you who have taken on more responsibility than you can effectively handle. I call you Martha-Martha, for you are running here and there, doing many things. And yet, you have neglected your primary purpose...to have sweet fellowship with Me. You have need of temperance. This is a time for all of you, My people, to re-evaluate your expenditures whether of time or money. If you will yield to My will and purposes in these areas, I will cause you to maximize your resources, and you will see the miracle of multiplication. But, I want to impart the concept of simplicity to you. You are My stewards. Unless you manage My resources by way of obedience to My direction, you will squander what I have put under your management and the result will be great dissipation. Exercise self-control.

October 25, 2000:
I exhort you today to consider your strengths, your giftings, the things you CAN do. The enemy would try to get you to meditate on your shortcomings and failures and the things you cannot do, for he would love to drown you in a sea of despair. But, I have not called you to accomplish what you are unable to do. I do not expect you to walk in shoes that do not fit. I have equipped you for certain tasks in My kingdom, and I tell you assuredly that you have been in training for that which is ahead of you. Believe Me when I say that you have been in training since you were a child for the things that have been prepared for you. Even times in your life that you found difficult to endure became a place of instruction, for truly all things work together for good to those who love Me. I will not ask you to reach beyond your ability to achieve My desired goals, but I will cause you to stretch and go beyond your experience to accomplish more than you ever have. Your destiny is to bring glory to My kingdom.

October 27, 2000:
These are times of great consternation on the earth, but I have not called you to fear or dread. I have positioned you and will continue to position those in My company in places of safety and security. What I require of you is to live in My kingdom without compromising My standards, My word. As the darkness of the world becomes gross darkness, you will shine forth and radiate as beacons of light and truth. Those who have lurked in the shadows of complacency will then be drawn to your light like moths to a flame. But, I tell you the truth, the days are coming and are even now upon you when those who love the darkness will be plunged into pitch-darkness, and those who love the Light will become radiant.
