When you watch the news and look at how the world is engulfed in evil, you can so easily despair. You want to turn off the TV, stop reading social media, and escape to a mountain somewhere. It is important for you to remember that I promised that in the Last Days darkness would cover the Earth and Gross Darkness the people (Isaiah 60:2)– but I will arise upon you & My glory will be seen upon you. So in the face of this flood of evil that is rising like a tsunami, you need to stand firmly on the Rock of My Word, knowing that I will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6-8), and that the gates of hell will not prevail against you (Matthew 16:18). Put on the whole armor that I have given you (Ephesians 6:10-18): The helmet of salvation, knowing that I have redeemed you and no man can pluck you out of My hand, and the sword of the spirit which is My Word, and My eternal promises to you. Heaven and Earth shall pass away but My Word will never pass away. (Matthew 24:35) The shield of faith – knowing that it is by faith that you will be able to stop the mouths of lions, quench the violence of fire, escape the edge of the sword – and out of weakness you will be made strong. (Hebrews 11:33) And your feet should be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Don’t let the enemy belittle your small candle of the light of the gospel. Let your little light shine, knowing that as the days grow darker, your light will shine even more brightly than ever before. (Matthew 5:16) Arise, Shine for your light is come, and My Glory will be seen upon thee! (Isaiah 60:1)
Arise, Shine!
