Use of Have
Sentence from "Conversations with God" -
"No, I mean in an incontrovertible way. In a way no man could deny."
"What way would that be? In what form or shape would you have Me appear?"
I am confused with the use of have here. What is this sentence trying to say?
Is it saying -
In what form or shape would you like Me to appear?"
Thanks:-
