"GO YE INTO ALL THE WORLD!"      Maria #271       DO 2990  4/95
By Maria

         1. (Mama:) A week before the Family birthday, Peter woke up during the night with severe heart pains. All he could do was sit on the couch and rock back and forth in pain, crying, because of the agonizing pain. I held him in my arms as we continually prayed, spoke in tongues and praised the Lord.
         2. After one time of crying out desperately to the Lord with intense tongues, I asked Peter if he thought maybe the Lord wanted to speak to us. I felt it was a lot to ask of him during such agonizing pain, but I thought that the Lord might want to say something to encourage him in his distress. Well, I was right about the Lord wanting to speak, but the message the Lord wanted to get through to us was to let us know of the far greater distress that He felt, and how His heart was pained many times over because of the millions who had never heard of His love. During the most acute pain, the Lord spoke through Peter the following words:

         3. (Prophecy:) "So does My heart hurt--for the lost! So does My heart pain--for those who have pain and those who are lost and those who are brokenhearted! So does My heart hurt--for the war-torn and the weary and those that thirst in the heat of the desert for My water, and those that freeze in the cold and seek for My warmth; and those that are lost and lonely and seek for My love. My heart aches and My heart breaks for these.
         4. "This is but a token of the pain that I suffer and the hurt that I feel for the lost and for the lonely, for the hurting and for the sick, for the dying and for those who do not know Me. For they seek and they die without Me. My heart aches for them, for I long for them to be with Me, but they must hear of Me. They must receive My Words. And how can they receive My Words unless you give them unto them?
         5. "For My Words are the leaves that heal, that warm, that quench the thirst, that give light in darkness. The world waits and they hurt and they suffer and their heart aches, and the void of their heart is not filled with Me because they need to hear My Words and My kisses, My message. They need My leaves that heal their wounds, that heal the suffering.
         6. "I wish to fill their bellies and fill their hearts and fill their spirits. So have I commissioned you to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. Go forth, My children! Go forth to relieve the pain! Relieve their pain and relieve My pain! For as their hearts are healed by Me, so is My heart healed. Give them My Words. For this is the calling that I have given unto you, to preach the Gospel, to heal the brokenhearted, to bind up their wounds, to give them the oil of gladness.
         7. "It is the time to look outward and not inward. Look outward unto the fields, for they are ripe, they are ready to harvest. Go forth, I say, go forth!
         8. "As Pandita Ramabai went and gave her life, so go forth and give yours. Give and it shall be given unto you. I have given abundantly unto you, My children. I have poured forth My love in abundance! I have poured forth My Word in abundance! There is no question that I love you, but you must take this love and you must share it. You must not become secluded in your blessings, looking inward only to yourselves and to your Home. You must look outward to those that suffer, to those that thirst and those that are hungry and that are desperate and in need and dying. They are dying without My Words, without My truth. You have an abundance!--In abundance give!
         9. "Give, and I say to you that it shall be given unto you. I will pour forth My love upon you and I will give you great strength and great anointing as you go forth to preach My Gospel, to preach My Word, to preach My love. Thus you will heal their hearts! Thus you will relieve My suffering." (End of prophecy.)
         10. (Mama:) Think of it, dear ones! The excruciating pain that Peter was feeling--and indeed, the very worst of man's agony in the flesh--the Lord says is only a token of what He feels as His heart breaks for the lost!--Those who He already died for in such torture and agony, but who still have not been able to benefit from that great sacrifice of love! And so He continues to weep and His heart continues to be broken for those who still do not know Him. Will you go to the aid of your Lord, who has given you so much and who stands with outstretched arms pleading for your help? Will you help to ease their pain and heal His heart? Or has His sacrifice on the cross been in vain? It's up to you. He can't reach them by Himself! He needs you!

Launch Forth in Faith--Into All the World!
         11. As many of you, dear Family, are now making your plans to change fields and you are seeking the Lord for His will, I wanted to ask Him if He had any further direction to give us other than what He had already said. So Peter and I prayed together and the following is what the Lord gave:

         12. (Prophecy:) "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, for this is the commission that I have given unto you, the children of David. Go and make disciples of all nations, for the children of all nations cry out for the Words of David. I open the door of all nations of the world unto you, that ye may plant the seeds of the Words of David there, that ye may raise the banner of David, and that ye may feed them with the Words of David.
         13. "For the world lieth in confusion, and the darkness is great, and getting greater. Therefore send the light of My Word to the nations of the world, that those in gross darkness can see the light of My Word and can feel the warmth of that light.
         14. "I call you forth into a new day of faith--faith to launch out on My Word with faith in Me. Faith to launch out into the unknown. Faith to trust Me for My supply. Faith to do a new thing in a new land.
         15. "When I place it upon your heart to reach a nation or a people or a city or a place, cast not those thoughts aside, but seek Me, seek My will. He that obeyeth the call and abideth in Me and doeth that which I have placed upon his heart will be blessed abundantly, and will bring forth much fruit into My Kingdom.
         16. "For it is a new day and ye must launch forth in faith--not bound by the methods of the past, nor the places of the past, but free.
         17. "For I do a new thing in all places. One place is different from another. The people are different. The customs are different. The needs are different. Therefore be open unto that which I would do in each of these lands. In some places you can be open and in some places you must be closed. But in all places they do need the Words of David!
         18. "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me. Thus lift Me up in these lands, and lift Me up through the Words of David, that which has made you different. For the Words of David are as a strong beam of light that can be seen from afar and will attract many, saying, 'What is this beam that shineth so brightly?'
         19. "I send out My call, but I call not all to the same place. I send My call forth to the hearts of man. And to some I say, 'Stay! Stay where you are and minister and care for those in the place that I have put you.' And to others I say, 'Come! Come to this land!' Some hear My call now and some will hear My call later. If you will follow this call, ye shall be blessed beyond measure, for ye shall have My blessing as you work within My will.
         20. "The nations of the world need the Words of David, and they need the children of David. I will raise up those in these nations that will minister unto you, that will supply your needs and will help to propagate the Words of David throughout their nations. But be ye open and be ye ready to do new things in new ways, that I may bring forth My message in these new countries.
         21. "So hear My call, for I died for all, that they may believe and live with Me forever. When I call you, be not afraid, for there is nothing to fear when you are in the will of God. And when I say, 'Launch out into the deep!' have faith. And if I say unto you, 'Stay where you are,' have faith. For the will of God is different for each. Judge not one another, for he that stayeth because of My will is as much in My will as he that goeth. But rejoice that each is in the will of God.
         22. "For I will do new things in this new day, and I will show you new ways, new avenues to pour forth My Words. I will open doors that did not seem possible in the past. And if you will but follow Me day by day, step by step, hearing My voice, preaching My Gospel, having faith to follow Me in obedience, ye shall accomplish more than your wildest imaginations.
         23. "For it is I that wish to reach the nations of the world with the Words of David. It is I that desire to pour forth the water of My Words upon these dry and thirsty lands. But I need the conduits, I need those who are faithful and willing to be there, and who are willing to hear My voice and to do that which I say unto them, that they may bring forth the fruit that I wish to bring forth, that they may be the pipes that will allow Me to pour forth My water unto these lands parched for the Words of David.
         24. "So let Me pour forth through you. Let Me lead you to those who will also be conduits of My Word--who will take My Words with joy and with gladness, and who will pour them forth unto their people. For there are not enough of the children of David to go and to reach all those that need to be reached with the Words of David, but I will raise others up who will pour forth the Words.
         25. "So heed My call, one and all, and fear not. Be not afraid, for I send you forth as My children into these lands that seek My Words. As ye go, I will bless you, I will keep you, and I will provide for you; for ye are My children, and I am a faithful Father. I will care for My Own, and ye are My Own."
         26. (Vision:) I had a vision in which I could see Africa and Asia. I could see hands rising up from the various countries motioning us to come to their country. There were hands coming from African countries, also from countries like Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and other eastern nations. Also from Russia and the smaller nations of the former Soviet Union. (End of prophecy and vision.)
         27. (Mama:) I'm thrilled with this message that the Lord has given! Over and over He is telling us that we must stay in touch and in tune with Him, and if we will, He will do wonderful things. He calls some to one place and others to another, and some to stay where they are. Some are called now and others later.
         28. Isn't it wonderful how He's telling us not to be stuck in a rut?--That He has new ways to do things in each of these countries, and that if we will seek Him He will show us what to do in each situation.
         29. Those of you who go to these new fields are going to have to be men and women of prayer and of faith!--Of listening to the voice of God. You are going to have to hear from the Lord and have faith to follow what He shows you. So please be prayerful. Listen to the voice of the Lord in the printed word, in your co-workers, in the small voice that is in your heart, in direct prophecy, and follow Him fresh day by day. "Follow God!" Read it! Do it! And God will bless you!

A Desperate Plea for the Children of India!
         30. (Mama:) Throughout the month of March, a team of Family musicians did a number of benefit concerts for the National Association for the Blind in India, during which they were able to reach thousands through our beautiful music, and millions through the media coverage the concerts received. One day after the first concert was completed, Peter and I were lying in bed praying together in tongues when the following prophecy came:

         31. (Prophecy, goddesses speaking:) "We've come to thank you. We come to thank you for sending your children to sing unto us and to our children. For we are they who plead for them, so we say unto you, thank you. Oh thank you for wooing our children, wooing them with the songs of David and the Words of David."
         32. (Departed missionary:) "The goddesses of India come to say thank you for your love, thank you for sending the children of David to woo their children and the spirits of their children and to sing unto them these words and to pour forth unto them this love. And we thank you, those of us who toiled so many years and gave our lives in sacrifice for this people whom we loved so dearly, for they are a precious people and they are a tender people. They live in such darkness, but you have brought them such light. They need the floodbeams of your light to break the darkness and to set them free.
         33. "We are so pleased that you allowed these children to go so that we could work through them to reach our people, the people that we love, the people that we lived for, the people that we died for. And we wish to do a new thing in this land! For the old ways and the old methods, though good and though bringing light, did not bring enough light, for there are so many in darkness.
         34. "We say unto you, publish glad tidings! Spread the Word, reach the people. Put it on the air waves, put it on the radio waves, put it on the TV waves. Flood our land with the Words of David, and with the children of David!
         35. "Do not fret and be not afraid, for we are there and we will help the children to know what to do, and we will lead and guide them and we will help to open the doors.
         36. "These precious children of India were our life's work, and they continue to be our work through your children. We will help them to bring the seeds and to feed our people. They will feed the hungry with the Words of David and the Spirit of love, and together we will reap a harvest and we will rejoice, and they will rejoice! And those that plead for their children shall be satisfied." (End of prophecy.)

         37. (Mama:) How can we resist a plea so intense and a heartcry so desperate? How can we fail them when they have given their lives and even now are doing all within their power to bring the message of Jesus and the Words of David to their desperate people who are starving for the truth? Is the Lord calling you to this difficult but fruitful field? Give of His love and He will give unto you--and great will be your reward!--Both here and in Heaven!

Prophecies for Eastern Europe, Russia and the Republics!
         38. (Mama:) As brought out in "Let Jesus Bear the Weight" (ML #2987, Lifelines 22), Peter made a trip to visit the European CRO teamwork. The whole Russian/EE work is so monumental, they needed to find answers to many fundamental questions in order to direct things according to the Lord's will. So while together with Peter, they brought these questions before the Lord, desperately seeking His will in these matters, and received the following answers:

(Prophecies:)
         39. (CRO:) "I need shepherds for My sheep! Am I not calling children of David who know My Words, who know Me, who know My Spirit, who know My voice, to go and be the shepherds for these sheep who know not that they are sheep at this time? For they bleat and they cry and they know not that they are sheep and they are in need of a shepherd.
         40. "Yet My fold is full of shepherds. The folds of David are all shepherds, they are all leaders, for they have been called to lead the world. Therefore, My fold is overflowing with shepherds!
         41. "Let My shepherds go, that they may shepherd the sheep! Let My shepherds go, that they may feed My sheep who know not they are sheep. Let My shepherds go, that they may learn that they are shepherds, for some know not that they are shepherds, but think they are still sheep. But when they go into the folds of the world where the sheep know not that they are sheep, then they shall be shepherds. For they know how to feed the sheep and they know how to lead them, and they hear My voice and they obey it.
         42. "Despise not your youth. For have I not said that they will speak with the enemies in the gate? Therefore, let My shepherds go, that they may shepherd the sheep."
         43. (Mama:) Isn't it encouraging to hear that the Lord considers all of you shepherds?--That compared to those who don't know Him, you are shepherds. He says that as you go out into the fields He will make you shepherds, even if you don't feel you are shepherds now. The Lord seems to be saying that even you younger ones could go to Russia and the EE countries and be a blessing.
* * *
         44. (Peter:) "I send you forth to make disciples of all nations. I call the children of David out to be missionaries, to go and live amongst the people and to love them and to teach them and to give them the Words of David. For there are many, many, many that are starving for the Words of David, and who would accept them hungrily and greedily, and who would become the children of David if they but had shepherds, if they had those who would faithfully feed them. And from these I would raise up others, and I would raise up leaders.
         45. "So go forth. Be not bunched up, but go forth, a few here and a few there. Go unto the people, become one with them and love them and live with them and care for them. And as you teach them and feed them, they too will go forth and spread the Word and the Gospel and My message."
         46. (Mama:) The Lord seems to be saying that many small teams going out and living amongst the people will be more effective than having larger Homes bunched up in just a few places.
* * *
         47. (CRO:) "So great is the excitement and so vast is the picture that it is hard to know where to start. But it is very simple. Have I not placed in each one of My children the burden to live My Words? And what a joyous day this is for them, and especially for all of them who come to these lands. For they can be like My disciples of old, whom I sent out two by two. I told them not to take scrip for their journey, and whatsoever city they would enter into, to find those who are worthy, and then they would receive them and care for them and supply all their needs. These are My children that I will care for. I will give them food and clothing. I will give them faith for each step of their journey.
         48. "This is a joyous day for your land! For your children shall be able to live the life of a disciple! Put shoes on their feet, give them clothes on their back, pray for them, and kiss them goodbye and let them go. There are friends out there for them. There are kings and queens out there for them. There are children out there for them to lift into their arms. There are the broken and the destitute and the lost. There are the dying out there. There are the bleeding out there.
         49. "It is very true what I say unto you; even My younger ones are shepherds. Please send them forth. Let them grow. Let them have the joy of witnessing. Not only the joy of witnessing, but they carry a great commission in this very short time to bring salvation to many people."
         50. (Mama:) The Lord is promising to supply the needs, the friends, the kings. This is how Europe, South America and the East were all pioneered! Small teams went by faith and the Lord supplied and multiplied. Perhaps if some of our teens were to go on such teams, they would be ignited with the same fire that our first teens were when they went pioneering. The Lord says that the people there are broken, destitute, lost and bleeding. He's pleading with us to reach them!
         51. There are many exciting prospects in these and other needy countries, for those of you who feel called, who are willing to lay down your lives to reach the lost with His love, His Words and His salvation.
         52. Who will go? Who will reach them? Is the Lord calling you? If so, tell your friends, your contacts, raise some home support and then go! "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature!"
