Seeing a Sunburst of Light




Isaiah 8:16-17  16 Bind up this testimony of warning and seal up God’s instruction among my disciples.
17 I will wait for the LORD, who is hiding his face from the descendants of Jacob.  I will put my trust in him.

Believers, followers of Christ must hold fast to God's teachings in a world that has gone to hell in a hand basket, we must wait and hope in our God.  Stand your ground!  The  truth of Jesus Christ.  Watch for the warning signs and the hope signs from God.  Do not follow the masses to destruction. 
Isaiah 9:2-7  " 2 The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. 3 You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.
4 For as in the day of Midian’s defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor. 5 Every warrior’s boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire. 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.  He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this."

The people who walked in darkness has seen a great light - sunburst of light.  gone away with, a deliverance as surprising and sudden as Gideon's victory over Midian.  For a child has been born - the gift - a Son for use.  He'll take over and rule the world.  His names will be
Amazing Counselor
Strong God
Eternal father

His ruling authority will grow and there will be no limits to the wholeness He brings.
