Rhema 4/02/09  HOW TO SEE THROUGH THE DARKNESS

HEARD:  Courage.

Dear Lord,

In this great darkness, we need courage and hope to face our future.  As we look at the days spread out before us, we can not see past the boundaries of the light we have in ourselves.  Yes, we each have Your light within us - but the degree we live in Your light, is the same degree that our light shines on the path before us.  Grant that we will live and walk in Your light in ever increasing portions so that we may have hope to see our future.  In Jesus Name. 

1 Peter 2:9  NKJV

His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

REVELATION:  This morning I had been thinking about how oppressive the darkness has been since the fall of the stock market and subsequent elections.  I had an inner picture in my mind’s eye, which is like a strong impression or a thought, but not really seen as the PIX {pictures} that I usually see.  I was walking on a path and had something like a flashlight beam penetrating the darkness as I walked forward on the path.

I had the sudden understanding that the light cast from flashlights vary according to the size of flashlight, light bulb, and battery.  I realized that Jesus inside of us is our Light, and we can only emit light to the degree that we walk in His light.  That is what inspired the above prayer.

Eph 5:8-13 NKJV

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light  (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.  For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light , for whatever makes manifest is light.

CONFIRMATION:  I went to pick up our grandson to spend the day with us, and I noticed he had on his first pair of tennis shoes.  He has always worn those soft moccasin shoes to learn to walk, and this was his first pair of stiff shoes.  I didn’t know they held a precious secret!   I noticed he was leaning way over in his car seat and took off one shoe.  “Light!  Light!  Light”  He was pointing to his shoe and low and behold he had 2 lights on each shoe!  Today, when he walked down the hallway he was running and pounding his feet really hard, saying, “Light, light, light!”  Thank You Lord for such a wonderful revelation and precious confirmation.
