Happy Birthday Jesus, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

12/25/22 THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

HEARD AND IMPRESSIONS:

[Merry Christmas Lord! Happy Birthday!!] My beloved. Dear one. Yes I am here.

I was wondering how they celebrate Christmas in heaven and I heard, We light candles. I wondered if that was a giant birthday cake, or maybe Hanukkah. I pictured a string of birthday candles an eternity long, one for each birthday! And then I remembered that Jesus is the Light of the World!!! I realize they don’t need light in heaven as there is no darkness at all. But they do have different levels of glory and brilliance there.

I am having a vivid impression with an impact of picturing the beauty and honor of everyone in heaven lighting a candle at the same time – to remember and honor Jesus for coming to the world and bringing us light. He left His abode in heaven to come here and was His highest sacrifice on our behalf.  I sense a holy hush.  It must be an awesome experience for everyone in heaven to hold a candle up to the Lord to celebrate His coming for each one of us!

John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness overcame it not.

John 8:12 Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Next I felt led to open Anna’s other Bible by my chair. It is heavy and I don’t open that one very often. I was very surprised that it opened to Matt 25 about the virgins keeping oil in their lamps. At the bottom of the page Anna had written what she had heard: 12/3/85 ”With all your might, hang onto your light! Spoken joyfully.”

His candle lives inside of us and as the flame of our love burns for Him, we don’t let go! We believe and hold He and His Word most dear!

After this, I was very delighted to read Mary Ellen’s confirmation :

12/15/22 CONFIRMATION: MARY ELLEN – LAST DAY OF HANUKKAH

It’s the last lighting of the Hanukkiah tonight with a reminder of the ultimate Light who dwells in all of us and Who lights the City of God. And this year, it is also the day that’s been chosen to celebrate the birth of our Savior. So let’s light the candles and celebrate Yeshua-Jesus, the Light of the world. — Day 8, the Day of new beginnings.

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her LIGHT was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. Revelation 21:9-11 NKJV

But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its LIGHT. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its LIGHT, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Revelation 21:22-24 NKJV

======================

10/07/17 THE CANDLE OF THE LORD IS NOT SNUFFED OUT
I saw a lantern being held up. It had a single light bulb inside. I remembered the scripture that says His light is inside of us.

Pr 20:27 The spirit of man is the lamp of the LORD, searching all the inner depths of the heart.

Ps 18:28 For you will light my lamp: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

4/01/17 THE CANDLE THAT REFUSED TO QUIT
You have learned to trust. Letting Me carry you. Without Me you can do nothing. That the excellency of My power. Be in you. Abounding in good works. The candle that refused to quit. 

Ps 18:28 For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine; The LORD my God illumines my darkness. 

WORD TO PONDER: THE SMOKING FLAX TO BURN BRIGHTLY 4/01/17
Beloveds, contrary winds once caused your wick to smoke. Even when you felt the light of hope dimming within you, your flame did not cease. I have kept you and I AM keeping you. The candle within you is your spirit man that is one with Me. I have foreordained that no matter what comes against you – your faith, hope and love in Me will never cease. These are My overcomers, the ones who refuse to quit.

You have trimmed your wick, cutting off the deeds of flesh that did not honor Me. The heavy weights in your pockets are gone. There is no more stuffing left, you let it all go and gave it all to Me. Dear heart, you have learned to trust! Now I AM soaking you in new anointing oil. Dip deeply into My anointing and draw upon it. What was once dim will burst into flaming passion as you take charge and bring forth My light within your life.

Ps 18:28 For You cause my lamp to be lighted and to shine; The LORD my God illumines my darkness. 

Mt 12:20 a bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he bring forth judgment unto victory;
