WORD TO PONDER: RELEASE MY LIGHT 6/02/08
I AM the God of Lights. You are My Sons and Daughters and I have placed the light of My Son Jesus Christ within you. Give Me your hands, give Me your mouth and release the power of My Son to those who are lost in darkness. I have given you the authority of My Word and the power of My Spirit to lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. Deliver those who are lost in darkness. Pray, decree, prophesy, preach, proclaim. Reach out, touch, impart, transfer, loose. The warmth and power of My tangible Presence is with you beloved children, as you go forth in My Name.

James 1:17-18 NKJV
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights , with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

"...The sun is the power which makes all life possible on the earth. Therefore, it is often used in Scripture to represent Jesus, who is likewise the source of all life as we read in Colossians 1:16-17: "For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." The Lord Jesus was with the Father before the foundation of the world, and was the Creator of the world as we see in John 1:1-4,10:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being by Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.

Jesus is not only the One through whom all things were made, He is everything that the Father loves. In every thing created, He was looking for the likeness of His Son. He is looking for His Son in us. To know Him is to know the Father and have eternal life. Just as the sun is the source of our physical life, and life on earth would perish instantly if the sun went dark, so Jesus is the source of all life. Even those who do not know Him cannot live a moment without Him.

The moon represents the church, which is not the source of light, but reflects the light of the sun. Just as the moon rules the night, the church age has been a dark time for mankind. Yet in spite of all of her flaws and mistakes, the church has given light to the nations. Just as the gravitational pull of the moon controls the tides, the church has had enough pull over the nations to be a great influence on the events in this age. However, she is not the Light, and can never rule over the nations until the Light Himself returns. The church's purpose in this age is to give enough light to those who will use it to make it through the night."
