What matters in life is not where you begin, but where you end. No matter where you are today, you can shine, you can expand, you can begin to live your dreams. But you’ve got to rise first; you’ve got to wake up, you’ve got to get up and shake the dust of defeat off you!
God is announcing this to you today; He’s the One telling you, “Come on, get up and shine!”
Why?
Your light has come! Don’t walk by your senses; don’t complain about what’s wrong with you anymore. Just because you don’t see the rays doesn’t mean the light is not there. When are you going to arise? When are you going to take off that cloak of sadness and have some sparkle in your eyes? When will your voice ring with joyful laughter again? When will you give that shout of victory again? You say, “When God gives me my miracle.”
Well, if you don’t shout now before you see the miracle, you’ll never shout, because you’ll never see it! Don’t say, “Alright, I’ll do it later.” That’s the devil’s way of tricking many out of their miracle. He tells them, “Not yet! You know you still have some things to settle with God.” When the devil starts talking to you, that’s when to do what those men did when they wanted to kill Stephen. They stuck their fingers in their ears so they wouldn’t hear Stephen anymore (Acts 7:57). Because they could still hear him, they started yelling at the top of their voices with their fingers in their ears. If you don’t want to hear the devil, start shouting, “Glory to God, I’ve got the victory! Hallelujah!” You’ve got to learn it, because when you do this, you set up a force field around you to pull to you every desire of your heart. DO IT NOW! Begin to shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you!
