TO SHINE WITH INNER BEAUTY
11/02/22 TO SHINE WITH INNER BEAUTY
A buzz Word for the month of November has been, SHINE. I heard it several times. In context to my life, He was speaking to me about a difficult intercessory season where I walked in humility and transparency as I overcame the accuser. During that sacrificial time I had to overcome many personal soul giants. One of them was shame from being transparent and needy in my humanity and feeling condemned by it. I walked through that valley and trusted the Lord to defend me. One step at a time I went through death to self, laying lower and lower. I barely felt the sting, as the Lord gave me such joy and fellowship in being His witness.
He taught me many lessons and one of those was the power of being nakedly transparent in defeating the enemy of shame. The result of going through the different stages of overcoming and death to self would be that Jesus’ image would shine within me. It is His glory that shines within us!
HEARD: You are beautiful to Me. My purposes in you. Defeated the enemy of shame. He is defeated. That’s why I told you. Daughter you shine with inner beauty. Transparent. Sweet one. You aligned properly. It’s a good work. Needless fear. Overcomer all the way. Through this and out the other side. Good job.
11/05/22: I remember John Paul saying that in the realm of the spirit we emanate the light of Jesus and often he taught how our presence can change the atmosphere around us. It causes demons to flee and the kingdom of God to be present.
LYNN CONFIRMATION:
Sandy, I just read a word this morning that the Lord gave me in 1991 and in part of it He said… “My life and light shall reflect from you.” It reminds me of the moon reflecting the suns light. I thought of these scriptures this morning as I thought on His power in us.
1 Corinthians 2:4 My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,
2 Corinthians 4:7 But we have this precious treasure [the good news about salvation] in [unworthy] earthen vessels [of human frailty], so that the grandeur and surpassing greatness of the power will be [shown to be] from God [His sufficiency] and not from ourselves.
11/05/22 FACEBOOK GRAPHIC CONFIRMATION: SHINING
After reading Lynn’s confirmation, I saw the following graphic on facebook where a little girl was on stepping stools, hanging onto the moon and looking at the shining star. The title said, Seek His Face.
In scripture, the moon represents the church. (Rev 12:1) The moon does not have its own light, rather is it a reflection of the sun’s light that makes it shine at night.
11/09/22 WALKED IT OUT WITH JOY
It was your assignment to walk it out. You walked it out with joy sweet one. It was because of our joy together. Precious child, you fellowshipped with Me. [Lord what we experienced together should never be shamed or sullied. It was beautiful Lord!] Transparent dear one. You shine so beautifully. Like the stars above.
11/13/22 THE JOY OF MAKING A DIFFERENCE
To shine in the brightness of My coming. I am coming dear one. The joy of having served and making a difference. Eternal fruit remains.
11/21/22 MY FATHER’S JOY
Abigail. Let Me shine upon you.
The name Abigail is a Hebrew name, meaning My Father’s joy.
I decided to rent Hallmark streaming service during the holiday season and I began the series When Calls the Heart. I was surprised to find out that one of the main characters is Abigail. She was a very gracious leader, who was brave to stand against the status quo and stand for truth, justice, safety and provision for those in the little community. I saw her life as an advocate for others even when facing personal threat.
WORD TO PONDER: MY RADIANT GLORY SHINING IN YOUR LIFE 11/02/22
Precious child, as you have gladly given your life as a sacrifice, willing and obedient to follow My voice, we journeyed through many hills and valleys. I never forsook you even for a moment as you sought My will in embracing death to self. Your stand in being obedient, clinging to Me every step has defeated many giants within your soul. I am so proud of you Beloved! Where the enemy has meant to harm, I only allowed so as to bring you victory of coming out of your personal Egypt.
Yes walking through the valleys is a painful time, but it bares much fruit as you allow the mystery of dying to self take its journey. As you decrease, I increase. As you lay low, I rise and shine. As you have walked through this, it is My glory that shines through you beloved, putting your enemies to shame. For when they heard of this, they were much cast down in their own eyes, for they perceived that this work was done by My perfect will in your life. Shine dear Bride, shine for My glory is rising upon you!
Nehemiah 6:16 And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was done by our God.
Isaiah 60:1-2 Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you.
