Today’s Reading:
Isaiah 60
John 1
“Rise up in splendor and be radiant, for your light has dawned, and Yahweh’s glory now streams from you! Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick clouds covers the nations, but Yahweh arises upon you and the brightness of his glory appears over you! Nations will be attracted to your radiant light and kings to the sunrise-glory of your new day.”
Isaiah 60:1-3 TPT
I heard the Spirit of the Living God say,
You have risen, and you have been shining. And the light you have been waiting on is now approaching to shine in response. The great light is coming to the darkness where you have stood and shined. Sometimes you stood and felt alone, but you were never alone. Millions also stood, many feeling very alone in the darkness. You heeded My voice, My call, My instruction to rise and shine in the midst of deep darkness, and now My light of salvation is shining, is lighting the scene and the planet, and the light and heat is growing in intensity.
“The sun will no longer be needed to brighten the day, nor the moon to shine at night, for Yahweh will be your unfailing light; your God will be your glory! There will be no more sunsets or new moons, for Yahweh will be your everlasting light and your days of sadness will be over.”
Isaiah 60:19-20 TPT
Where you once could tell the direction from which the light was shining, now it will be so bright — you are walking into days where it will be so bright that you will not even be able to tell the place or direction from which the Source of the light is shining. You are walking into days of nearly blinding light. Where it has been dark for so long, and it has felt pitch black — so black that it’s been nearly impossible to move — now I Am moving you into days where the light is so bright and so overwhelming and coming from every direction that everything is in plain sight. Nothing is hidden. Nothing can remain in the shadows or dark corners. My multi-directional, omni-directional bright shining light is penetrating the darkness, and darkness will flee the scene. All that will be left behind where the darkness was is evidence that the darkness was here. Remnants of the tools, devices and deeds of darkness will remain on display, long after the darkness itself is removed from the scene.
“All your people will be righteous and will permanently possess the land. I planted them there as a tender sapling, the work of my own hands to display my glory. I will multiply the least of you into a thousand and the weakest one into a mighty nation. I am Yahweh, and when the right time comes, I will accomplish it swiftly!”
Isaiah 60:21-22 TPT
I Am turning up the light, and I Am turning up the heat to such a degree that no darkness can remain. These are the days of awakening, and behold the days of bright light. Celebrate the light. Delight in the light. This is the light for which you have prayed and to which none can compare. Celebrate, delight and ready your feet to dance. I Am bringing My great light.
How to Respond
- Stir up expectation of the Lord’s brilliant moves and bright, revealing light.
- Pray, Holy Spirit thank You for helping me to stand in the midst of deep darkness. And thank You that the reign of deep darkness is drawing to a close. Thank You for causing the bright, nearly blinding radiance of Your light to shine on this dark world to such a degree that nothing can remain hidden. All will be revealed by Your searching, omni-directional bright shining light. I will celebrate the awakening, and I will celebrate the arrival, exposure, heat and intensity of Your great, unmatched light.
- Declare, In the beginning the Living Expression was already there. And the Living Expression was with God, yet fully God. They were together—face-to-face, in the very beginning. And through his creative inspiration this Living Expression made all things, for nothing has existence apart from him! A fountain of life was in him, for his life is light for all humanity. And this Light never fails to shine through darkness— Light that darkness could not overcome!
— John 1:1-5 TPT - Decree, The days of standing in the dark are rapidly closing, and the bright, searching omni-directional light of the Lord will overtake the scene and the planet. Darkness will have no place to hide. It will flee completely. All that the darkness has hidden will be revealed, and the bright light of the Lord will completely overtake the scene. I will dance, delight and celebrate the arrival and the dominion of the light of the Lord in the Earth. Great is His faithfulness. He has not left us alone in the dark. He is my light and my salvation. In Him I trust.
