History has repeatedly shown us that God’s light shines the brightest during difficult and dark times, and breakthroughs the frustrating and intimidating darkness. When we look at the state of the world around us, we can see the impact of a systemic, economic, political and religious darkness.

ISAIAH 60:1. ARISE, SHINE, FOR YOUR LIGHT HAS COME, AND THE GLORY OF THE LORD RISES UPON YOU

Yet, God is looking for instruments in this season that he can shine his glorious light through. If you find yourself in a situation that feels dark and hopeless, or if you are in an environment, society, or culture where darkness seems to control the outcome of things and narratives you believe should otherwise, then this is the time to cry out to God the Father, in prayer, to stretch his hand of reformation and transformation over your sphere.

When I use the word light, I am referring to the Christ light, which surpasses all human intelligence, knowledge, and comprehension. It takes those whom the world calls foolish to see and appreciate the glorious, all-transforming power of this light. Christ’s light resides within you, my beloved, but you must fan the flames of your faith and obedience to the voice of the great shepherd to bring this inner light to life.

Ask him to use you and raise others to be a beacon of his light of faith and hope to transform the realm and sphere of your Society. Don’t give up calling on the name of the Lord, for he is mighty to save. You have a father in heaven who answers prayer! Don’t give up your intercessory and prayer lifestyle.
