“The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” – Proverbs 4:18
As believers we are on the path of life, walking towards Jesus, walking towards… the Son. One foot in front of the other, we devote our lives to Him, moving forward with purpose in our hearts. As we keep our gaze transfixed, He shines brighter within us. Transforming us, we begin to look like Him, reflecting His glory. We become shining ones.
There is a metamorphosis taking place in the body of Christ. His sons and daughters are becoming better beings. The old form, or nature we have lived under for so long, is breaking away. It’s time now to take those promises off the shelf and dust them off! In this last season hope differed made your heart sick. Still, you pressed on, and God has seen your faithfulness. Now it’s time for promises to be fulfilled. The radiance and glory of God shines upon you!
This is what I hear Him saying…
“This is for the Shining Ones says the Lord. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give Me glory. My light shines on you and it shines within you. I am speaking to the ones I raised eating manna. I fed you from My own hand in the secret place. I raised you in the valley of trouble and offered you a door of hope. I taught you to lean upon Me, to hear My voice. I showed you that true rest can only be found in Me. I have taken responsibility for you. I pulled you in with cords of kindness and love. When the world system and the religious crowd rejected you, I accepted you and revealed Myself to you.
My shining ones, have I not prepared you for such a time as this? You are oak trees of righteousness, which I have preserved in My greenhouse. How you flourish! You are true treasure to Me! And you know it. You have opened up your heart and become vulnerable before Me, and so I have revealed Myself to you in the deepest and most gentle way. You are Esthers, orphans, having no spiritual mothers or fathers to raise you. Yet I have raised you. I have given you the spirit of adoption, and now you cry out, “Abba Father!” It is because I raised you in the secret place that you truly know Me. Nothing man-made will ever snatch you out of My hand!
To you I say arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness the people. But the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”
If you felt like this word was for you, please say this prayer with me-
Father, My King and My closest Friend, teach me to love You! Give me a heart that belongs to You alone. Allow me to long for, hurt for what hurts You. I want to give You my all. Make me completely Yours. Renew my strength, so I can live out my days for You. You are my heart’s desire. Have Your way in my life. I love You Jesus. Make me like You. I want to reflect Your glory and shine Your Light. I want to give You Your reward, Your inheritance, Your Bride. You are My King forever-
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
