“Many times have you heard Me say that My coming means change.
Specifically, the greatest change will be in the hearts and minds of men, for My return among you is a sign that men are ready to receive New Life.
That New Life for men do I bring in abundance.
On all the planes this Life will flow, reaching the hearts and souls and bodies of men, bringing them nearer to the Source of life Itself.
My task will be to channel these Waters of Life through you.

I am the River.
Through Me flows the new stream of God-given life, and this shall I bestow on you.
Thus shall we together walk through My Garden, smell the perfume of My Flowers, and know the joy of closeness to God.
My friends, these things are not dreams.
All of this will be yours.
My Mission will vouchsafe this to you.”
