Isa 60:1 Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah has risen on you.
I have just learnt the words to a new song (new to me anyway). A Song by Brian Doerksen “it’s time”.
The words says: “Its time, for Your light to shine, Its time for the Glory of our God to be released…Its time, for His Majesty, Its time for the Glory of our God to be revealed….Its time!”
Mat 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do men light a lamp and put it under the grain-measure, but on a lampstand. And it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.
Its time, for the believers to understand, realize and act on the authority given to us.
We are called to take the Glory of God into the world around us – we are not to hide it or keep it a secret – we are to declare it.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority is given to Me in Heaven and in earth. 19 Therefore go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. And, behold, I am with you all the days until the end of the world. Amen.
Jesus is the “Anointed” the Christ, the Messiah.
He instructs us to go, in His authority, which is ALL authority, to move and to proclaim the Good News. He promises that He will be there with us. His Spirit will guide us and we will be anointed to good works.
It is time to rise up and `shine`, our light has come and the Glory of God has come upon us.
Jesus IS the Light and He has come and He has given us authority. It is our time to step out and move in Him.
Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now. 6 Then, indeed, these coming together, they asked Him, saying, Lord, do You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel? 7 And He said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in His own authority. 8 But you shall receive power, the Holy Spirit coming upon you. And you shall be witnesses to Me both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Guided by the Holy Spirit we will walk in power, taking authority, proclaiming the Year of our Lord.
Joh 17:22 And I have given them the glory which You have given Me, that they may be one, even as We are one, 23 I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.
