Arise , Shine God Says It Is Time!!!



Scripture: Isaiah 60:1 "Arise, shine; for your light is come,

and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you."




God encourages us to rise to a new life.

The Amplified Bible reads, "Arise from the depression ... in which circumstances have kept you." We all face disappointments in life, either through circumstances or in our relationships. When we do not deal with those disappointments, we become discouraged.

Then as we give in to discouragement, depression follows.Depression is like being in a dark room. In the natural, if you find yourself in darkness,

you must make an effort to get up and turn the light on.

When you turn the light on, you do not have to battle

with the darkness any more. The light itself dispels the darkness.

Likewise, when your inner man is in a dark room

of depression, you must do the same thing.

God is there with the light of His Word,

but you must arise and allow that light to

illuminate your spirit and renew your faith.




In this upcoming New Year this is a good

resolution to make for yourselves.

Someone out there has been living in darkness for far too long.

He is placing His hand upon your head right now, Can you feel it?


Verse two says that as you arise,

"His glory shall be seen upon you."

It is a supernatural work of the Holy Spirit

as He draws you out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom

of light.King David faced this darkness when his city

was burned and his possessions and family were taken captive.

If that wasn't hard enough,

his own men blamed him for the loss and wanted to stone him

I Samuel 30:4 says that David cried until he couldn't cry any more,

but then he began to encourage himself in the Lord his God.

He arose and began to allow the light of God

to shine in his darkness.

As he did, new plans developed.

He pursued the enemy and took back what the enemy had stolen.

He could have sat there forever in depression

and defeat and never regained what belonged to him.

The choice was his.

I Peter 5:8 tells us that the devil

goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.


You are in his path, but you are to give him no place in your heart.

You must encourage yourself in the Lord as David did.

From the beginning, you must refuse to allow disappointment

to lodge in your heart and take root until it turns into discouragement.

Learn to trust God's word which says,

"All things work together for good to

those that love God and are called according to His purpose."




Arise, shine, and allow God's light to supernaturally dispel the darkness.
