A Year Of Jubilee!

"Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you and nations will come to your light and kings to the brightness of your rising." Isaiah 60:1-3

I have heard from many the past few months, that the new year ahead seems dark. There has been so much fear concerning our economy. Even in church circles among those of faith. I feel the need to remind all of us that we are NOT of this world. That we are not to look at the circumstances of this life with fear in our hearts. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of Power, Love and a Sound Mind. That is good news. We can have sound minds in the midst of all that SEEMS dark.

Isaiah 60 confirms that darkness will come. But it is during the darkest times that The Light will shine the brightest! As people of faith, now is the time for us to rise up and take our authority that was paid for with a huge price. We need to start living as if Jesus is in us, if we truly believe He is. Therefore, WE are the light of this world. Hold it out for all to see and be the Lord's hands in this earth.

I believe with all my heart that this New Year will be one of GREAT blessing for God's people. Those things in our hearts, that once seemed impossible, WILL come to pass THIS year. Mountains will fall and doors of opportunity will be opened to us. But as we are blessed let us not forget to reach out and BE a blessing to all those around us.

May you prosper in body, soul and spirit this New Year as you follow hard after Him. And may this New Year truly be one of Jubilee!
