“Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life.” John 8:12
The Holy Spirit is doing a major changes or overhaul in our lives is by Amplifying the Light in our lives. He doesn’t want us to be a smoldering flax or a dimly burning wick, but to burn with a zeal and a fervor for Jesus that ignites those we connect with as well.
“A bruised reed He will not break, and a dimly burning wick He will not quench; He will bring forth justice in truth.” Isaiah 42:3
Saints, do you feel like the bruised reed or a dimly burning wick? No matter how hard you try, you seem to always get knocked down in the process! Our Lord Jesus has a different plan for your life! He is working through the Holy Spirit, to ignite your Lamp ablaze upon the inside of your life, but not just igniting the Lamp, He’s also trimming the wicks on your lamp to increase the output of His Light from your Lamp!
“The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.” Proverbs 20:27
The Holy Spirit wants to ignite the fire an increase in Light that’s going to come forth from your Lamps. The season of trimming and pruning the wick has been arduous and painful at times, but what has been charred or damaged by the flames in the past has been removed! The Oil is being replenished. Many of you felt like you were dimly burning or on the verge of burning out are going to once again burn Brightly in the Presence of God!!!
You have not been forgotten or cast aside, but have been receiving trimming, impartation and Refreshing from the Lord so that you can once more Shine like a beacon in the Night Sky!!! You are to shine like Bright Lights in a dark world. We are to be a beacon of Hope for those who are walking about in darkness looking for a way out.
“That you may show yourselves to be blameless and guileless, innocent and uncontaminated, children of God without blemish, faultless, unrebukable in the midst of a crooked and wicked generation, among whom you are seen as BRIGHT LIGHTS IN THE [DARK] WORLD,” Philippians 2:15
Remember as your Light Increases so will your influence! The closer you get closer to Jesus the greater the Lamps Brightness goes up another notch. Just as He was and is the Light of the World, so have we become the same!
If you feel as though you barely burning or even smoldering do not despair. Be assured that the Holy Spirit is trimming you wick even now. He doesn’t slack in His Duty or His Ability in us, but He’s going to cause you to once again BURN BRIGHT LIKE THE SON and bring Light to the World around you! He hasn’t forgotten you or forsaken you, but He’s working all things together for your good even if it doesn’t seem like it.
“We are assured and know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER and are FOR GOOD TO AND FOR THOSE WHO LOVE GOD AND ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO [HIS] DESIGN AND PURPOSE.” Romans 8:28
