Rise Up Company Of David! Your Hour Of Destiny Is At Hand!

"My heart is filled with blessings for My Beloved. As you cherish your own family and as you love each one for who they are, unique and special, I too love each one within My Bride in this way. I have plans and destinies for all those who are called by My Name! There are seasons of ministry that are about to grow and explode in the earth, and there are others that are shifting and the mantle is being passed on to others that I am raising up for this hour.

"The mantle of My anointing is being given and it is being taken away. Many who have been hidden in Me for a season of preparation, like John the Baptist, are being set apart for this great day of destiny and purpose. These have been misunderstood by the religious system. Many have been crushed and abused for desiring to walk out what I have been stirring in their hearts. In each case, you as a Bride, have not been this way before, so it is unfamiliar ground. Many have been perceived as threats and as rebellious, but they are neither of these.

"These perceived derelicts, vagabonds, rebels, castoffs, and disenfranchised, are all being gathered together right now through My Spirit. Angels have been sent to the four winds and they are searching out and bringing together by My Spirit these men and women, and though they appear as outcasts, they shall all be of the company of David, they shall become mighty men and women of valour for My Kingdom!

"These people have sacrificed much for My sake. They have given all away that would be precious to the religious people in the land. They have pursued a higher ideal, and they have been looking for the eternal city, the place where all who come unto Me with purity of heart and purpose shall find rest and peace and be fulfilled. Some have died before seeing the reality of this vision. But many, many more of this company of David shall surely see the fulfillment of all that they have yearned for and given so much for.

"This company of David is My Family, says the Lord. I have sent the Son into the world to gather for Me a people after My own heart. Though He went in My Name and My authority, He was rejected and killed. Yet, I have gathered through His sacrifice and the work of My Spirit in the earth, I have gathered for Me a people, a people of My own choosing, whom I will set apart as the Company of David, as the inheritance of My Son. You are His own prized possession and He cherishes you and delights in you.

"Rise up Company of David! Rise up mighty warriors! Take your rightful place in the ranks of the Company of David! In this day of visitation, all those who were hidden in Addulam, all My precious men and women of valour, unheard of and unknown in the eyes of men, are now being set apart for this glorious day of visitation.

"O Beloved, if you have been cast aside, if you have been misjudged or misunderstood, or if you have known you were called by My Spirit, but in the eyes of men you did not fit their mold, do not be discouraged. Be of good cheer, for I come to you and I speak to you, "Rise up, take up your bed and walk!" Do not let mere men and human institutions hold you from your calling and destiny. "Rise up from your place of exile, take up your bed, for you shall no long lie where you now lie, and you shall not only walk, but you shall jump and dance with joy and gladness! The days of being paralyzed and cast out from your destiny are over! Rise up! I say to you, rise up! Take the step of faith and belief and rise up!

"Stand in Me, and let no man cut you down. When you rise up in Me you are in the shelter of the Most High. Humble yourselves and rise up in Me! Take up your bed, take up the place where you were cast out, and walk from it. In quiet confidence and rest, walk away from the place of banishment that was your lot in life. Take the bed, the place of rest with you, for I am your rest. You will no longer find your rest in a pallet made of human hands, or a bed, but you shall find your rest in Me. Take Me with you, and walk by My Spirit. Listen to the still small voice of My Spirit, and let the Son walk out His life through you. Wherever He goes, you go. Wherever He stops, you stop. Wherever He speaks, open your mouth and confess and profess the word of the Lord. Wherever He rests, rest. Find your purpose and destiny in the Son, for He will honour those in the Company of David, a gathering of His own choosing. A family of His own making. Rise up you mighty warriors! Rise up!"
