… And the word of the Lord reads, Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. It reads one more time, arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. Father, we thank you that you are already present and active in the building.

… I remind you there's not another light coming. Arise, shine, for your light has come. The glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, deep darkness the people. That's a mental depression. But the Lord will arise over you, and his glory will be seen upon you. My goodness, I am so excited for the fulfillment of that verse. His glory will be seen upon you. There have been times throughout church history where the glory of the Lord has been visibly seen. we have had situations, occasions where the glory of the Lord was visibly manifest upon the people of God. Over this building we've had people see the flames of God's glory coming out of the roof of this building in times past. I look for him to put that mark of presence. Often when I pray for people in the last year or so the thing to me is the greatest prayer I can pray is I say God mark them with your glory. …
… I just got another message about an hour earlier. And the same thing, arise, shine, for your light has come. It's Isaiah 60. It's arise, shine, for your light has come. The glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth, deep darkness the people. But his light will appear upon you. His glory will be seen upon you. Nations will come to your light. kings to the brightness of your rising. And it goes on from there. So that's the passage. So I wrote him a text. I said, thank you. That was such an encouraging word for you to send to me. He wrote me back and says, I didn't send you that message. I went, wait a minute, you did too? So I looked at the voicemail and I took a screenshot of it and sent it to him. He laughed. He wrote back. He says, oh, you got that. I meant to send that to somebody else. So Jesus took his treasure and gave it to me. …
… where the chapter opens with these words, Arise, shine, for your light has come, meaning the Messiah. Another Messianic prophecy, And the glory of the Lord is 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. Lift up your eyes round about and see. They all gather together. They come to you. Your sons will come from afar. Your daughters will be carried in the arms. Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and rejoice. Because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of nations will come to you. The whole world is going to come to the light, the Messiah, the whole world. That wasn't happening, not even the nation Israel. They faced a situation not unlike the church today. Massive exposure of Christianity happening in our world, in our country. …
… me down, and they would be fear, they'd be jealousy, they'd be anger, they would be envy, these kinds of things that just shield me from being effective. Isaiah 60 verse 1 says, arise, shine. It's in the getting up that my capacity to shine changes my effect on the world around me. Suddenly what held me hidden, what held the light of God that was in me restrained or hidden, suddenly has no control because I chose to stand. I chose to change my posture according to what he said to do. I didn't wait till I felt good. I didn't wait till I heard another 14th prophetic word to confirm that this is what God wanted for my life. He just said, arise and shine. And in response to the command of the Lord, we get up off of our rear end. We take that posture of responsibility. And then we find our capacity to give changes. You stand, he'll give you the capacity to shine. And the end result of that profound series of verses, Isaiah 16, 61, is literally the most broken people in society get healed. And together we watch as cities get rebuilt. And that is the design of the anointing of the Lord. The anointing that was released upon Jesus that made it possible for us to get back to subduing, that anointing was to restore people out of places of absolute brokenness to be contributors, to become builders, to become people that say yes to God and begin to contribute, not just for, you know, fixing nice little …
