God's Light

Making music for the people. I shot down everywhere we go. I shot down everywhere we go. Everywhere we go. Making music for the people. Making music for the people. I want to magnify your life. I want to reflect the sun. Cut like precious diamonds. We're brothers by the millions. This is the only world we know. And for now, this vessel's our home. If we're gonna be a reflection, gotta make this thing sparkle. Just so you know. Lord, I come before you today and lift each and every person up to you. I ask that you open their ears, their hearts, and their minds, Lord. I want to thank you. I want to give you all the glory because without you, none of this would be possible. Lord, I ask today that you allow me to spread your word, to do your will and your purpose. I've done this episode a couple times now, and it's like the devil is trying to hold me back to get your word out. And I rebuke him. In Jesus' name, amen. Hey there, it's Anna with God's Podcast. I had a whole other episode planned for today, but I decided that this episode was gonna come from today's verse. This verse gives me some hope, and I hope it can do the same for you because we are in a dark time right now, and this verse sheds light on our darkness. This verse is in Isaiah chapter 60, verse 3. This verse gives me hope. It reminds me that God is going to win. God is gonna conquer this evilness that is occurring here on earth. I know that there is so much darkness going on right now, and you can't be blinded to it. You see what's happening in Israel. It is so graphic, and it is so hard for us to fathom what is happening to Israel's people. It is also hard for us to understand why God is allowing something like this to happen. But God's word, God's scripture, explains all of this. And this is why I believe God made me choose this verse for today's episode because we all need God's light to shine upon us. In Isaiah chapters 60, 61, 62, and 63, God shines upon us and explains the darkness and how he will bring us back to light. How God shines upon us and never retracts from his promise to us. Our God is the same yesterday, the same today, the same tomorrow, and the same always. That is what is so miraculous about our God. How many of us can say we know somebody that is the same from yesterday, today, that will be the same tomorrow, or even a year from now? None of us can, because we are always changing. We are not an alpha or an omega. We are not the creators of the heavens and the earth. Only God is, and he is all-powerful. And this is why our God gives us his word and his scriptures so he can shine his light upon us and give us hope for our future of eternal life with him, his promise. God gives us all the answers we are searching for. It's in his word and why I chose today's scripture in Isaiah 60. In today's Bible study, it said, ears to hear is an idiomatic saying that calls for the listener to have an open heart and mind to what is being revealed. And I ask this always in my opening prayer to open your ears, your hearts, and your minds. And I'm asking you to wake up and pay careful attention to what God is revealing to you. The book of Isaiah gives me hope and reminds me that God is going to win. God is going to conquer the evilness that we see taking place here on earth. God is going to shine his light upon us, which brings me to Isaiah 61, verses 19 through 22. The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you. For the Lord will be your everlasting light and your God will be your glory. Your sun will never set again and your moon will wane no more. The Lord will be your everlasting light and your days of sorrow will end. Then all your people will be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor. The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord and it's time I will do this swiftly. God is telling us by his scripture and his word what is going to happen. He is allowing us to know that he is coming back. And are you ready? Are you ready? Have you missed out on what God is telling you? Rather than opening your hearts and your mind, many of us go against what God is saying by insulting others, criticizing others, defending our own positions rather than changing our way of thinking. It is time for us to be God's children, to shine his light on earth, to shine his light with our ears to hear his voice and what he is telling us. We cannot serve this world with the politics, the agendas, the culture and still think we are going to have a place in God's kingdom. You have to shift your mind and your heart to align with God. God's word is telling us this. Don't you want him to shine upon you? God's words remind us of his promise and they can give you hope of what is to come. None of us, none of us I say, who believe or have faith in God want suffering. But these verses show us how we serve a God of love and a God of mercy and will deliver us, his people, just like it says in Isaiah 61.8 God gives us this hope. Why wouldn't you take it? Let God into your heart. Study his word. Give God a chance. He will change your life around. Are you willing to wait and suffer for when the day that Jesus comes? Because you need to stop being blind to what's going on around you. You see all the darkness, the evil, the mass murdering. You see what's happening in Israel. People are being taken hostage. Innocent people, children, mothers, be prepared for God. I'm asking you and I'm warning you that God is going to come again and you need to be ready. Revelations gives us this in the Bible. It talks about end times. I know that it's scary. I know that you don't want to hear about it. But the day is going to come and you need to be prepared. Are you willing to take a chance that you are not going to heaven? That you will not spend eternal life in paradise with God? I'm not. So I'm spreading God's word and I'm trying to help you get to heaven because that is what we are called to do as God's children. Spread God's word and help others come to Christ. I'm not declaring that I am some prophet or some expert in God's word. I'm just an ordinary person just like you who loves God and hopes that I will never reject Him. That I could always stand proud and let others know my love for Him. And I hope that you can do the same. I hope you enjoyed today's episode. I hope that you will take what I have said and bring it back to God. Read God's word. Isaiah is a great book. It will shed light on God's promise. So until next episode, keep bibling, keep spreading God's word. Open your ears, your hearts, and your minds and share this episode with someone else in need because we all need God. Lord, I lift each and every person up to you today. Whatever they may be going through, whatever season they may be in, Lord, I ask that you hear their prayers. Lord, I ask that they surrender all their burdens to you. I lift each and every person up to you, Lord. I give you thanks. I give you praise and all glory. In Jesus' name, amen. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.
