The Lord is saying: Arise and shine for your light is risen. Fear not. I am your great reward. You are my delight, the apple of my eye. Be bold be strong for the darkness is covering the earth but my light shall be seen in you.

“The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing” (Zeph 3:17 Amplified)

This morning as I went to the Lord, He asked me what I saw on the horizon. I said I saw the sun half way up in the sky. He told me that the sun would shine brighter and brighter as it rose in the sky and the shadows would be know more. I remembered these scriptures

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.". (Isaiah 60:1-3)

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 2 Peter 1:19

nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Mat 5:15

 

As the world gets a darker and darker place, so we God's children are coming into more and more light. That light will not just be around us but in us and we will light up wheresoever we go. When we really know the truth and have shed all our dirty rags of self- righteous religiosity, the joy that will emanate from us will be irresistable to the people. When we really know how much God loves us and we have grown in His grace, we will no longer be judgemental but His love will pour to hurting hungry people who day in and day out live in the darkness, and thirst for the truth.

 

 

A Plea for Light in Darkness (for those battling depression)

Oh Saviour in the dark of night
Your loving arms will hold me tight
and In the brokenness of day
Please gently guide me on my way

Oh Lord,my friend, when others flee
When they have had enough of me
I claim your promises for good
Made true upon the cross with blood
So help me in my deepest pain
Oh take me, make me whole again
O'erwhelm despair with conq'ring Grace
And wipe the teardrops from my face

Lord, make my faith, this flick'ring light
A blaze that overcomes the night

No fear, but great joy and love. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ Thanks Shirley

Inspirational Moments from Catherine

OOPS! Church bulletin error! At the evening service tonight, the sermon topic will be "What is Hell?" Come early and listen to our choir practice. (p.s) of course not House of Bread...our worship is sheer heaven. LOL
