Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-3
MAIN POINTS & SCRIPTURES:
1. ARISE TO A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF GOD’S FAITHFULNESS
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
2. ARISE TO A DEEP AWARENESS OF THE TIMES & SEASONS
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.
But know this, that in the last days [a]perilous times will come:
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
3. ARISE TO A NEW LEVEL OF SPIRITUAL POWER
The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
A. WAIT ON THE LORD
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
B. DIE TO SELF
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
C. FLOW WITH THE SPIRIT
Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away;
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth;
