Let Your Light Shine

   

                                              {A Prophetic Message for today’s time}

 

 

  Isaiah 60:1-3 :1 Arise, shine for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen

 upon thee.:

 

 2 For, behold the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but

 the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

 

 :3 And the Gentiles (sinners) shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of

 thy rising

 

 A: The Glory of the Lord shall arise upon the people of God.

 1: We do not have our own light but the Lord shall shine upon of us.

 

 Genesis 1:14–19:    

 ‘14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from

  the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also

 B:

 1: The sun is energy and is light and rules by day.

 In the sixties man landed on the moon and said” One small step for man, one giant

 leap for mankind”

 

 Man landed on the moon but no attempts to date have been made to land on the sun

 because the sun is energy which is  light which produces heat.

 

 2: On the other hand, the moon which rules by night, does not produce its own

 light, it only reflects the light of the sun.

 

  3: Even as the moon reflects the light of the sun, we as Christian are to reflect the

  light of the SON.

 

  ST John 9:4-5 Jesus said

 

 :4 I must work the works of him that sent  me while it is day: the night cometh

     when no man can work.

 

 :5 As long as I am in the world, I am the ight of the world

 

  The world was full of darkness (sin) until the light (Jesus) came

   

  Jesus said as long as he was in the world  in the flesh, he was the light of the world

  Jesus was to be in earthly ministry only about 3 ½ years and there were still

  some thousands of years for the world to   

  stand as we know it.

  

 Would there be no more light after Jesus? The light must continue to shine bright

 until the return of Jesus.

    

  Matthew 5:14-16 ye are the light 

 

 :14 Ye are the light of the world, a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.

 

 : 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick;

         and it giveth light unto all that are in  the house.

 

 : 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and

         glorify your father which is in Heaven.

 

 It is very important that we as believers be aware of who we are in Christ.

 

 God has called us out of darkness into this marvelous light to reflect the light of his 

 Son Jesus in the world.

 

 It is not our light but we only reflect the glorious light of Jesus Christ.

 

 Matthew 23:37 Jesus said to the people.
 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto

 thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her

 chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

 

 Matthew 23:39
 For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh

 in the name of the Lord.

 

 Congress the Supreme Court and the religious people may fight against the true 

 Christians who stand for God, Jesus Christ and the true Gospel but there!! will come

 a  day when they will search for a Christian that has a real word from the Lord.

 

 Amos 8:11
 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a

 famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

 

 II Cor.5:18-20(reconciliation)[6]

 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus   

        Christ, and hath given us the ministry of reconciliation.

 

 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ,reconciling the world unto himself, not

          imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word   

          of reconciliation.

   

         As God sent his son Jesus into the world to reconcile the world back to God.

      

         In Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus commissioned the disciples to go unto  

         all the world and preach the gospel.

   

 Note in verse: 20 Jesus said “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I

 have commanded you”(not teaching a humanistic gospel of convenience)

 

 We today are to continue the commission Until Christ return.

  

 5:20(ambassadors) Now then we are ambassadors for Christ,

  as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye

  reconciled to God.

           

 We are ambassadors for Christ. As the different countries or kingdoms have their ambassadors or representatives so are we ambassadors of the kingdom of God, to reconcile man-kind back to the Father through Jesus Christ.

 

 

 Colossians 1:26-29 (Christ in you)

 : 26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but  

          now is made manifest to his saints:

 

 

: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery  

        among the Gentiles which is Christ in You he hope of glory

 

 

 Romans 8:18-19(Sons of God) [8]

 

 

 

: 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present times are not worthy to be

      compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

 

: 19 For the earnest expectation of the creature (all of creation/mankind)

        waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of god God’.

 

I realize it appears this whole is off course with sin and crime, drugs and God haters, and I am not about just foreign countries but also in the United Sates of America.

 

The Bible in   speaking about 2 Chronicles 7:14 says
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land

 

God was given Solomon the answer to Israel's problems at that time, the same solution still apply for Israel today and well as America and any other nation that will turn from sin and evil to serve the true and living God and his Son Jesus. People let it be known, you may not want to receive Jesus as your lord and savior now but one day every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord.

Why not accept him as Lord and Savior now and serve him rather than reject and face him as judge at the last day. Jesus loves you and it is not God's will that any should perish but that all repent and turn from sin and let him live his life in you for Jesus Is Lord
