HERE AM I, SEND SOMEONE ELSE?
So God called out: (your name)!" And I said, "Here I am." And God said, "I am the God of your mother, and the God of Eve, the mother of all God's children, and the God of Mary, the mother of my Son and your Savior. I have heard the cries of my children from out of the darkness of the abortion clinics and the places in which they were disposed. I have heard the humble prayers of my people who fear for their children who are growing up in a wicked generation, and I am calling you to lead the battle against this evil in your area. ”And I said, "But, Lord, you know I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor even now. I am slow of speech and thought." And the Lord said, "Who gave man his mouth? Who gives him sight? Is it not I, the Lord? Now, go. I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” And I said, "But I must develop the gift you gave me, and the housework is not done, and who will take care of my family's needs?" And the Lord said, "I who give gifts according to my purpose gave you your gift and your gift has served me well, but I am setting a new charge before you, and am calling you to a greater battle. Your gift will still be utilized, but in a different way. You must forsake all others and follow me. You are not my first choice, but you have proven yourself a worthy soldier. Therefore, I AM asking you to lead the spiritual battle in your area. My Spirit will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Yours is only one battle in a war against powers and principalities--the dark forces of evil--being waged across the country. We must win the small battles in order to win the greater war." I said, "Oh, Lord, please send someone else to do it. What about (your pick)? I know that he/she speaks boldly." Then the Lord's anger burned against me so I relented and said, "Here am I, send me."
