CHAPTER TWENTY- THREE: LIGHT OF THE WORLD

 V.1-3.

Haggai 2:9 NLT

[9] The future glory of this Temple will be greater than its past glory, says the

 Lord of Heaven’s Armies. And in this place I will bring peace. I, the Lord of

 Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!”


V.4-7.

Jesus! The Word! He is the true Light. He's that glowing candlestick that sets

 every other stick on fire and never burns out.


V.8.

Because He lives, we live. Because He glows, we glow.


V.9.

John 9:4-5 KJV

"[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

 light of the world."




V.10-13.

Now the Lord Jesus is no longer physically on the earth, but His fire still glows

 in us. He burns through us. He radiates through us and illuminates the world

 through us.


V.14.

As long as we are in the world, we are the light. V.15. When the Lord gathers His

 people to Himself, v.16. the world will experience profound spiritual darkness. 

No man v.17. would be able to work when the light is out.

V.18.

Light is that which makes all things manifest. It reveals. It exposes. It

 enlightens.




You are the light of the world. To your radiance there is no diminishing. Your

 latter light surpasses the former. As you behold the true Light... You glow

 fiercer, stronger, unrepentantly, irrefutably.







2 Corinthians 3:8, 10, 12-13, 18 ( KJV)

"[8] how shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

[10] For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by

 reason of the glory that excelleth.


[12] Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: [13]

 and not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel

 could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

[18] But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are

 changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the

 Lord."


V.19-22.


Sometimes we glow so much that demons are terrified to look at us. The Lord

 Jesus shines far brighter than the noonday sun. Has the sun ever blinded

 anyone at first glance? Saul was struck blind!


V.23-26.

Sometimes my room glows so brightly that it terrifies me! I however refuse to

 fret because I know it's the Lord. Most times He doesn't say much. He just

 makes jokes about being the Greatest Stalker of All Time; and then He says,

 "I'm watching you."


V.27.

And so, because He glows, I glow. Because He shines, I shine. And because He

 is the Light, I am the light.


V.28.

You are the light. Say it!


"I am the Light!"


"I'm shining! I'm shining! I'm shining!"


"To my radiance there is no diminishing!"


"As I behold the Word (Christ our Lord), the latter glory surpasses the former."


V.29.

Hallelujah.






A PRAYER FOR YOU.

V.30-33.

"May your light illuminate your world. May your light shine so brightly that

 kings and nobles would come to the brightness of your rising. May you be like

 the Sun that goes forth in all its strength, and may you never be hidden behind

 any dark cloud. V.34. May your light dissolve every ministry of darkness around you.

 May the light in you expose every friendly foe. May your light not flicker, In the

 name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen."

V.35.

God bless you.


V.36.

Shalom.

Affirmations

Image
  I am enough . I am worthy of love . I am capable of being whatever I want to be. I am confident . I am intelligent. I am potent. I am successful. I am enlightened. I am tough. I am wise. I am everything. Sometimes, we are filled with fear—fear of not being good enough to handle something, fear of being rejected, fear of not being accepted. But grounding yourself in the reality of your sufficiency is “ I am .” Dependable, trustworthy, faithful, powerful, and competent—yes, you are. I believe in you, that you have what it takes to become everything you are meant to be. I believe in your potential. I believe in your future. You are. Release your fears. Close your eyes and see yourself letting go of every fear. I forgive myself. Sometimes in life, we are full of regret and guilt. This disrupts our inner peace and confidence. There’s that one time we have all made wrong choices. Whether moments later or many years ahead, we tend to revisit those scenarios and wish we ha...

QUOTES (PHASE 2)

Image
  Vulnerability is a demonstration of Quiet Strength .  It is withholding the power to flee, to hide, to question, to doubt, to judge, to condemn— and allowing oneself to bleed. To bleed fear, to bleed the looming threat of rejection,  failure, and scorn. Vulnerability is where faith thrives. We all know faith is a mustard seed, right? This art inspires the idea that some doors—so imposing, so invincible, so inconceivable,  so fortified—require a soft touch, a gentle penetration, a fragile ego… and then comes  the creaking, even the unlocking of that door. We grow in life as we move from one stage to another. And as we grow, we must  discard certain sandals. It takes vulnerability to let go of the old in search of the new,  knowing fully well that one’s bare feet may be exposed to danger. It takes vulnerability to hope, and to trust the process. It takes vulnerability to wait for  certain seasons to pass so that others may be embraced. It takes vu...
