Ephesians 5:14

 Christ Shall Give Thee Light

"Awake" Christians, everywhere, and the Lord Jesus Christ shall give thee light!  The greatest time for the Church of the living God is Now!  When times seem the darkest are when the light from the Lord will be the brightest.  "We seek Your Glory, Lord; we seek Your face; shine upon us that we may "lighten" Your world!"  Amen and Amen!

   

       "Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest,

       and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give

thee light."

(Ephesians 5:14)

The skies are billowing and the storms are raging, but the One who watches is moving Nations, stirring States, corralling countries, and all the while, the breath of God swirls in His Church.  Why is the whole earth in turmoil?  There is a great "Awakening" about to occur!  Who will dispel the darkness?  The Church of the living God, the Lord Jesus Christ!  Deuteronomy 11:14 states, "That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that they mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil."  

 

    "The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse

of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and

to bless all the work of your hands.  You will lend to

many nations but will borrow from none."

(Deuteronomy 28:12)

Rain, Lord, Reign!  We stand on His promises; we expect them, anticipate them, and praise Him for them.  The bride has become pregnant with purpose, and multiplication is her goal.  The light of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ will shine brighter and brighter as we march in the "rain," gathering the sheaves, pouring out the Word, healing the sick, praying through the hungry, baptizing the ready, and blessing the ungodly.  We're dancing in the rain, praising Him for His power, shining under His rays  ... we're "Awake," aroused, acclimating, and announcing the coming of our King, because we feel it!  The atmospheric pressure has a heavenly wind moving amid and around us from the breath of Almighty God as He stirs His creation for the final showdown.  

"Surely the arm of the LORD is not too 

short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear."

(Isaiah 59:1)

 As His Church rises up, so rises up the Lord, in His power, His mercy, and His love.  His Word will glow with the light of truth, as it is planted in searching hearts.  "Come, O Lord, and light our pathway; move in the hearts of souls, grant us Your wisdom, enlighten and deepen our minds, lead us in the pure paths of Your righteousness, garner the knowledge of Your kingdom and fill us to overflowing; let us shine as the noonday sun on a dark and fearful world; we pray!"  

God will pour out His Spirit upon all flesh, Joel 2:28; there shall be a rumbling louder than the storms of weather; it will be all of creation speaking in those mighty heavenly languages they never learned, as the Spirit of God gives them utterance.  The Glory of God will descend like waterfalls of joy, pouring from open heavens of splendor!  All of creation groans for the day; the earth verily is opening up longing to be filled; even the animals are restless; there is war in the heavenlies as Angels subdue the enemy for the grand outpouring; we look up to catch the rays ... the light before the rain, the rain before the "bow," the bow before the catching away in the clouds, and catching away before the white horse and Rider, Jesus Christ our Lord!

Rejoice all ye people; lift up your weary heads; raise your arms in victory; shout with a voice of triumph; as earth is "Awakened," all of heaven leans over the bannisters encouraging us on, because they know a huge welcoming is coming; all is being made ready for the Bride above all brides, the redeemed of the Lord; those upon whom Jesus Christ has shined His light!

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and

the glory of the LORD rises upon you."

(Isaiah 60:1)
