You have given me some followers from this world, and I have SHOWN them what you are like. They were yours, but you gave them to me, and they have OBEYED you. They know that you gave me EVERYTHING I have. I told my followers what you told me, and they ACCEPTED it. They know that I came from you, and they BELIEVE that you are the one who sent me. I am PRAYING for them, but not for those who belong to this world. My FOLLOWERS belong to you, and I am praying for them. All that I have is yours, and all that you have is mine, and they will bring GLORY to me. HOLY Father, I am no longer in the world. I am coming to you, but my FOLLOWERS are still in the world. So keep them safe by the power of the NAME that you have given me. Then they will be ONE with each other, just as you and I are one. While I was with them, I kept them safe by the POWER you have given me. I GUARDED them, and not one of them was lost, except the one who had to be lost. This happened so that what the SCRIPTURES say would come true. I am on my WAY to you. But I say these things while I am still in the world, so that my followers will have the same complete JOY that I do. I have told them YOUR message. But the people of this world hate them, because they dont BELONG to this world, just as I dont. Father, I dont ask you to take my followers OUT of the world, but keep them safe from the evil one. They dont belong to this WORLD, and neither do I.
