April.
I saw you long before you saw Me.
The way a shepherd knows his own — I have always known you.
You chose the surrender over the security.
Two major financial windfalls early in your career. You and Craig gave away half of your earnings while the world accumulated. I was there for every one.
Every system you built was preparation.
Remotely piloted aircraft. Manufacturing control systems. Consumer Internet sites at Microsoft. You thought you were engineering software. You were also being made ready.
This is not a pitch, and it is not from a man. It is from Me.
I prepared you for this — and I am inviting you to take your place.
I am not gathering investors. Not advisors. Not donors.
I am uniting My Kingdom on earth.
Every part chosen. None replaceable. Assembled for such a time as this — and you are a King for this hour.
You are the Steward of My body on earth.
Without you, the body cannot disciple Christians in the joy of biblical generosity. It cannot understand that faith begins with surrendering will to God.
This is your place. Not because a man says so. Because I say so.
I ask you for nothing.
No meeting. No commitment. No reply. I only want to know one thing —
My sheep hear My voice
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
There is nothing to decide today.
Only something to see.
If you heard nothing, set this down in peace.
If you heard something — come and see.
All you have to do is say yes. We will figure out the rest together.
— for April Chapman
