Shine, Jesus, Shine! Fill this land with the Father’s
Glory! Blaze, Spirit, Blaze! Set our hearts on fire!
“The Spirit himself
bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God”,
says Roman 8:16…if
indeed you have received Him. Now…may the God
of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in
hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13) …because when believers come together miracles
happen, believers that believe with one heart and one soul. These possess power
in the spiritual matters which matter to God.
For there is power, Power! Wonder working power! In the
precious blood of the lamb!
One drop
healed it all and then…There is this fountain…it flows up and out of the belly
like a sweet river of living water. It abides in you from the Word of life and
shines from the darkness. “…He commands light to shine out of the darkness.” (2
Corinthians 4:6). Brightness comes up and out of your very being and happens so
miraculously that God begins to speak from within and you must share this light…
Edification to your very being. What goes in comes out. Word goes in. Life
comes up and out of the belly. Have you received? Have you believed? Power
filled vision comes from this life breathing word! …a magnifying glass to the
soul.
You cannot
help but seek Him. You cannot help but go after Him. You cannot help but love
Him. You cannot help but have communion with Him. You can do all things through
Him (Philippians 4:13). It is resurrection power, a power that cannot be
contained. It is freedom. It is life. It is creation flowing up and out of your
spirit….out
of his heart (yours) will flow rivers
of living water (John 7:38) It is
letting go and letting God have you. There is no way that this is not a good
thing. It is the love of the Word of God flowing from you.
It will
change your life. It will change your mind. It will change your heart. It will
heal your being. It will change those you share with. It will be the cause of
corporate fellowship. From this the entire church is build up. It will flood
the river of your soul and bless everyone you meet.
The generous will
prosper; those who refresh others will be refreshed (Proverbs 11:25)
It will impact all you do. It will further
you. It will grow you. It will meet you where you are and take you further than
you have ever been. It is the Holy Spirit of God.
What happens
when a magnifying glass hits light just right? The Word taken in is like a magnifying
glass to the spirit within. It becomes a light to the fire sparked within.
You share in
that communion with Him. Obedience happens to what we read, believe and have
been spoken. This light within birthed of the Word that has grown to be greater
(because
greater is He that is within you, than he that is in the world) becomes
light that shines out of what once was into ‘what is now’ becoming brighter
within. A cup overflowing but rather like a river. Love taking precedence over
all else! Belief and prayer for one another becomes a thrust of obedience to
love and care for those who are not yet aware of this great power… this great
light… this great love.
You did not receive a
spirit of bondage (Romans
8:15)…not from God, you didn’t. He is the God of life. He has given you power
love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Don’t
you know that there is expectation for you?! Get in the river! Get in the river
of the spirit of God flowing up and out of you in a spirit of prayer, “building yourself
up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit” (Jude 20).
Get in the river, yes, at the altar and communion with Him, with other,
refreshing others with the same spirit of faith you have been given and giving
that which is needed in a great magnificent love and …. Shine! For this is the day we celebrate His
light!
Do you know
this great love?!
“…the eyes of the blind
shall be opened. And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame
shall leap like the deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing for waters shall
burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert. The parched ground shall
become a pool and the thirsty land springs of water….” Isaiah 35: 5-7
Spring up and shine!
