DISPLAYING THE LIGHT WITHIN - Meditations

[Albert Finch]

Be aware that the enemy would come with distraction after distraction only to rob you, and deposit within you despondency and numbness putting you in a sense of shock and longing -- not know which way to go -- to the left or to the right

In times of trouble, call in His presence, for where you are His presence is. Do you not understand 'The Hope of Glory' that is within you? Do not look to the exterior. Do not look outward. Don't look around. Look in. Let His presence, let His strength, roll out of you.

Be carriers of praise and thanksgiving. Be carriers of 'Amen,' 'So be it,' 'It is written. Be carriers of His Word being alive and active.

TAKE UP YOUR POSITION - - WAKE UP!

Take up your position, for the King of Glory longs to come in -- but will you recognize Him? How will you recognize Him? What if you're asleep in your spirit? Wake up! Wake up!

Let the shaking that you're going through become the shaking of the breakthrough. Be not shook for any reason, but be shook awake: to make a stand -- then the enemy will tremble and flee.

Shake off the negative words. Let them drop off of you. Do not let the enemy live in the darkness of your words. Do not cover him with words of unbelief, for he hides and brings torment with fear, and aggravation, and regret, and remorse.

Expose him by the light of the Word and His presence. You are His mouthpiece. But how can you speak what He tells you to speak unless you have come with praise and thanksgiving, and receive that which He would give to you?

Let the Holy Spirit quicken this to you. Let this be a foundation, a cornerstone -- for you are the temple -- His presence dwells in your temple.

Claim His ever-filling. Claim His ever-presence. Claim and remember His faithfulness.

ARISE AND SHINE -- YOU ARE THE LIGHT

Uncover the enemy with praise and thanksgiving, for he comes under the umbrella of murmuring. For is he not called the 'accuser of the brethren?' He accuses, and accuses, and accuses until you stand with your heads down, as one who's been accused and condemned.

"Arise,shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you." - Isaiah 60:1

You are to arise, and to shine. You are not called to hide in the darkness, but you are called 'the light.'

You are a living epistle -- alive in His Word and His Word is alive in you?
Shake off the darkness. Shake off the negative agreement. Tell the enemy, 'No, get behind me.' Do not hide behind him with murmuring and accusing, one to another, for His Spirit grieves in murmuring.

You are sealed by His Spirit. Do not take that lightly.

Own it. Live in it.

And let His Word do what it was sent to do – set captives free.
