Light It Up!: Luke 11v29-41


You are a generation of Christians and the followers of Gandhi will receive more blessing than you in the Resurrection. You are a generation of 'by faith alone' Protestant Christians, so show me your faith! I tell you that the disciples of Mother Theresa will rise up and be your judges in the Resurrection, she saw I was hungry and fed me, thirsty and she gave me drink. You confess me as Lord for a mansion while you live in a gated community and I tell you the Palestinian peasant searching for food and shelter will rule over you!

Am I making friends yet?

God does not put the Light in people simply for themselves. It is meant to illuminate the whole world and if you go on putting it under cover everyone will suffer! That's stupid! Lift it up! A light that is not illuminating quickly turns to darkness itself, but if your whole body is lit up, everything will receive light like a flash of lightening and everything that receives light, becomes light! Are you a Christian and do you not know this? That the glory of God gives this City it's Light? That the Lamb is the lamp and by its Light all the nations are to be enabled to walk and bring their glory into it?

A Light is not something that merely reflects the Light of another, but is itself a source of Light. Therefore do not merely have an outward appearance, but give alms from your inner self that all things would be clean for you....that is give yourself to God from the inside out, that you might become one with Him who is Light and there is no darkness in Him at all. Child, grow up into the fullness of Christ.

May we let our Light shine today that those we warn of the trouble they are getting themselves into would turn and be saved. May we be Light that people come from near and far to learn from and be transformed by in Messiah. May God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord be glorified by what we do with the Wisdom and Teaching, the Word, that has come to us and the love, joy, peace, patience,kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,self-control that are produced by Him...even indeed while there is still work to be done in this City. May the nations flow to His Holy Mountain, His great City of Peace, Jerusalem ...the City that appears down from Heaven. Amen
