THE LIGHT FLOWS

John 14:46  "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness."

The Light of the world. A Gift, a precious Gift.  The Lord had come as our Savior, to redeem us from all our sin, but there was more, so much more He had to give us. His Light, the glorious Light that shines in heaven as it's only Light source....that One who is the Source of all redemption, all salvation, all healing, all comfort, all provision, all restoration and refreshing.  The only Light that will never burn out, fade away, or fall to light our way. 

When we fail to see the Light, when it has become dim to us, it is not the Light that is not the same, it is the condition of the hearts of man.  If the heart of man is not seeking the Lord only, when it has surcome to the wiles of the world, it is that which causes the Light to seem dim.  It is the blurring of the eyes of man by sin or shame that has dimmed the Light.  As one would change a light bulb at home when the bulb dies, the change to restore the Light requires only a prayer, a repentive prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to help you restore that relationship with the Lord.  Forgiveness is waiting the child who has stepped into the darkness once he comes before the Lord with his heart open asking the Lord to forgive, to restore them once again to Himself.  The blood of Jesus that cleansed you when you were saved, when you were born again, never loses it's power, never loses it's mercy.  It just takes a heart that desires the Lord, that loves the Lord.  The Light will fall when the prayer of a repentive heart goes up.

This morning in services, as worship was rising to the realms of heaven, as my hands reached up to the Lord, I saw His hands coming down to mine.  From His hands came rays of light, His glorious Light and they flowed into my hands and all through my body.  The Lord told me as I serve others in His Name, as I stretch my hands out to others showing His love and grace, giving His comfort, and as they receive Him into their hearts, then His Light from my hands would extend to them.  And as they would do the same to others, His Light would move to another and another and another until His Light was flowing into the world, all around the world.  His Light bringing redemption, healing; sharing love and grace to all His children, uniting us with His Light.

The Light of the Lord, the warm, loving, healing Light that came so long ago.  When His Light comes into darkness, darkness disappears.  Can you see what the flowing of His Light from one to another can result in?  Can you see the Light of our Savior overtaking all the darkness in this world, bringing joy and peace to all that call upon His Name?  Salvations, healings, restoration to families, to friends. 

Lift your hands towards heaven as you read this, look at the hands of our Savior, see that beautiful Light that is flowing from His hands and let that Light flow through you.  Now carry that Light, touch others with His Light and let His love flow with the Light.  Pray for that one you have touched, that you have shared His Light with, that they will share the Light with another and begin to pray for that one.  Before long.....we can be His extended source of His Light..... watch the darkness disappear.

The Light of the world, will never cease to flow, to brighten lives with love.  Jesus is the Light of the world.  He is the only Source of Light that will never fail us.  Joy and peace.....from the Light of Heaven, from the Throne of the King.
