PROPHECY OF LIGHT
Isaiah 9

The book of Isaiah chapter 9 was talking about the government of the promised Son of God when it stated in Isaiah 9:3, “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shinned.”  Jesus is the light of the world and the only reason for the season. He declared in John 8:12, “…I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life.” Jesus is the light that was born of the Spirit through the Virgin Mary. Just as described in the book of Isaiah, if  His birth could deliver such a great light in Galilee of the Gentiles, the same light will do the same by bringing great light of deliverance to any man that chooses to look up to the light and see the light. The word said, “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light.” The ability to see is rooted in looking. When there is no looking there will be no seeing. Also, it takes the one that knows that darkness is in place that will know to look for where there is light for deliverance from darkness. What is it in your life that is distracting you from looking away from darkness unto light? Do you wonder what this great light is about? Light is a representation of God’s presence, blessing and revelation that is incarnate in Jesus. The light is the light that does not go down but is always shinning brighter for those that have taken unto looking and seeing it. What and where do you look into when the cloud of darkness rolls in your direction? What you look at is what you see. Whatever you see will determine what you receive and whatever you receive becomes what you believe. It is your believe that will become of you. During the celebration of the birth of Jesus, make it your resolution and begin to look in the direction of light, the light of God that never goes dim. Let your looking up to see Him move you in all your directions so that darkness will not have a permanent stay in your life and all that concerns you. Look up to see the great light and receive an imperishable, priceless, merciful and gracious gift of God that is in place for all His creation that is willing to look up to Him. The Psalmist testified in Psalm 34:5, “They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.” As you celebrate His birth, look up to Him and see that darkness will no longer prevail in your life.

Prayer for today: Take my days and my moments O Lord so that I will have no reason to look away from Your marvelous light of deliverance.
