Dutch Sheets tells us, “Arise, shine, Church, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
Darkness, indeed, does cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples, but it is a defeated darkness.
Nations are looking for the light, kings for the brightness of our rising (Isa. 60:1-3, Sheets paraphrase).
We are soldiers of the light. We must boldly release the power of the Most High into situations, allowing the victory of Christ access.
He has given us His light, He has given us His sword, He has given us His name. Use them!
Position yourself toward the Son and allow Him to shine through you, striking the mark! Wield the laser sword of the Spirit.
We often forget how powerful the Holy Spirit in us is—how destructive to darkness is His lightning sword. It has supernatural power to overcome the works of darkness—When we release it with confidence.
Station yourself spiritually in front of your rebellious children and ask God to send a bolt of meekness to them. Aim the light of liberty at their addictions, whether they be drugs, sex, alcohol or whatever. Be aggressive in the spirit.
Spouses, ask God to shine forth into the lives of your mates, breaking through the darkness of deception and liberating them.
Pastors, call upon the Holy Spirit to flash, breaking strife, division and complacency over your congregations. While you are waiting for God to do something, He may be waiting on you. Release the light! Call it forth in Jesus’ name.
As the Israelites carried the presence and glory of God into battle, so must we. All that was in the Ark of the Covenant is in us: the Bread of life, the rod of priestly authority and law of God. And the glory that was upon it now shines through us. Act like it! Strike with the sword—speak the Word! “let God arise” through your intercession “and His enemies be scattered.”
