A PRAYER FOR GOD TO POUR OUT HIS GLORY UPON THE YOUTH

March 29, 2023 10:34 pm , Leave a Comment ,

My heart is deeply saddened for the ones impacted by the tragedy that happened at THE COVENANT SCHOOL a few days ago in Nashville. I’m praying for God to bring peace and comfort to those who have been deeply traumatized. I will continue praying for God’s kingdom to come and His will to be done on EARTH AS IT IS HEAVEN.

Though darkness may be increasing upon the earth, the glory of God is being poured out in an unprecedented way. The light of Christ is flooding out the darkness in the lives of those who are fully yielded to Him.

Let’s draw near to Christ and pray passionately every day.

LORD,

Thank You for Your amazing grace and mercy. Thank You for comforting the ones who are hurting today. I know that You hold all the answers for our broken world.  Prepare the younger generation for the intense spiritual battle. Pour Your glory upon the youth of the world. Fill them with God-confidence and open the door to their destinies.

Give them a strong hunger for Your righteousness and empower them with Your Holy Spirit. Let them arise and radiate Christ’s light powerfully. Let Your light shine brightly in their lives and use them to ignite a great spiritual awakening. Let Your kingdom come and let Your will be done in America as it is in HEAVEN. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pray boldly!

Amy

RESTING IN THE GLORY OF CHRIST’S LIGHT

August 6, 2018 9:48 pm , Leave a Comment ,

I was sitting in my great room praying when the sunlight coming through one of my windows captured my attention. My mind was filled with thoughts of Christ and His glory as my gaze was transfixed on the golden rays. I sat in stillness with no words as I was captivated by the brilliance of the light.

I’ve always loved how the light pours through my windows in the morning, but on this particular day, I was mesmerized. The brilliant light was a reminder to me of how Christ had overcome the debilitating darkness of my past.

Suddenly, I had a clear revelation about how Christ’s light is revealed in our day-to-day moments. As we keep our eyes fixed upon Christ, His light consumes the darkness in our lives. It’s impossible for the darkness to overtake us if we are consumed with Christ.

As I sat there with my focus on the light flooding into the room, the words in Isaiah 60, verses 1-3 dropped into my spirit. “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. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”

Though darkness may be increasing upon the earth, Christ’s light is flooding out the dark forces in the lives of those who are fully yielded to Him. Our level of experiencing God’s light and glory is dependent upon how spiritually hungry we are. We can either spend our lives craving the things of this present world or we can wholeheartedly seek after Christ and experience His glory in unimaginable ways.

The glory of the Lord is not easily defined. To me, it’s HEAVEN touching the earth. It’s the splendor and magnificence of God’s presence tangibly felt in a powerful way.

After pressing toward Christ with heartfelt prayers, He’s been pouring His glory upon my life in an unprecedented way and filling my heart with compassion for those trapped in darkness. Every soul is in need of the glory of God to overpower the dark shadows.

My prayer is that every person who is longing for redemption and seeking to know Christ on a deeper level will catch some of the glory that’s being poured out by God. There is nothing that God’s power and glory cannot remedy.  As we turn away from the darkness and fall into the arms of our Creator, we can arise, shine, and rest in the glory of Christ’s light eternally.
