It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 60:
1 Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.
HE didn’t say, “Arise and reflect.” His Light is within us. We don’t need any more prophetic Words than this. Throughout Scripture, we are instructed to act in righteousness and Holiness. We should be looking for opportunities to produce righteous acts.
The Holy Spirit is given to us to make us into the Image of Christ to the world. Let there be no excuses keeping you from exercising this reality in your life. If you don’t know what it means to let your light shine, then figure it out. Now is the time! Don’t sit there ignorantly when HE has given us The Resource Manual what instructs us on how to live life!
In Isaiah chapter 61:
10 I will sing and greatly rejoice in YAHWEH! My whole being vibrates with shouts of joy in my God! For He has dressed me with salvation and wrapped me in the robe of his righteousness! I appear like a bridegroom on his wedding day, decked out with a beautiful sash, or like a radiant bride adorned with sparkling jewels.
The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 19:
7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”
8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
We are to be clothed in righteous acts! It is shifting from a self-serving lifestyle into a servanthood lifestyle where we live aware, we have all the resources of Heaven needed to be effective in our serving of humanity. FATHER makes our righteous acts supernaturally effective, no matter how small an act is.
The Old Testament reveals what GOD can do. In the Valley of Dry Bones, GOD caused the dry bones to live and restore an army. (Eze 37) He caused water to come out of a rock. The list goes on.
In the New Testament, GOD reveals what one person can do who was righteously related to GOD. The Book of Acts testifies of the righteous acts of the saints. Once The Holy Spirit came and dwelt in them, they walked with power and authority… their lights shined.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 1:
1 Throughout our history God has spoken to our ancestors by his prophets in many different ways. The revelation HE gave them was only a fragment at a time, building one Truth upon another.
2 But to us living in these last days, God now speaks to us openly in the language of a Son, the appointed Heir of everything, for through Him God created the panorama of all things and all time.
3 The Son is the dazzling radiance of God’s splendor, the exact expression of God’s True Nature—His mirror image! He holds the universe together and expands it by the mighty power of His spoken Word. He accomplished for us the complete cleansing of sins, and then took His seat on the highest Throne at the Right Hand of the majestic One.
Jesus radiated light from THE FATHER. When Jesus took on flesh, it was to illustrate to us what could be possible in our own walk. He took on humanity and walked as the son of man, not as the Son of GOD.
There are two qualifiers that enable a person to step into the unlimited realm of GOD HIMSELF where we are fully yielded and surrendered that HE can use us as HE used HIS Son Jesus. We are to not only surrender but also obey The Holy Spirit when He tells us to act.
Luke recorded what Peter spoke by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 5:
29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree.
31 Him God has exalted to His Right Hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
Walk in surrender and obedience and your light will shine!
