From the Father’s Heart for you:
Look up.
The sun is shining.
Today it may be perceived as though darkness has the upper hand, but that is NOT SO!
“The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5). I have already won that battle, for light dispels darkness. It’s just the nature of light.
And you, My child, are part of that light.
So shine.
John 1:6 “There came a man sent from God,……” That’s the beginning of every great story. Be that ‘sent one’ and start another great story of My goodness and glory and power and fame.
May this be a season of knowing who you are in Me: how loved you are, how powerful you are, and the authority you have been given in My Name. USE your weapons of warfare (2 Corinthians 10:4) and FIGHT the good fight (1 Timothy 6:12). Be watchful, be strong, stand firm (1 Cor. 16:13) for Truth and for what is yours (Jude 1:3) and also for your brothers’ and sisters’ in Christ, that all may be encouraged so that callings are fulfilled (2 Tim. 4:5).
Don’t give up, for I never give up on you.
I have your back, and I will strengthen you to stand in My truth and battle the lies. You are more than an overcomer in Me. I have given you authority to tread on ‘serpents and scorpions’ and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you. (Luke 10:19). Take your authority in battle and rejoice in the victory, overflowing with praise and songs of thanksgiving in your heart continually, as you give Me all the glory.
Go be the light.
“..at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.” Ephesians 5:8
Darkness cannot defiantly stand against any type of light. It just doesn’t win that battle.
As the Maker of Heaven and Earth, I sit on My throne and My sovereignty rules over all (Psalm 103:19).
Look up!
