Day 11: Shine Your Light
Intention
If we don’t shine the Light of the Kingdom of God, who will?
Scripture
“Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
and His glory appears over you.”
– Isaiah 60:1-2
Reflection
“GET UP, STAND UP AND SHOW UP” It’s time for the Church to rise!
Three years ago, I was at a conference in Shepparton, Melbourne. At that conference, God showed me the Olympic torch being handed from one person to another throughout Australia, New Zealand and the Islands. As this torch was handed around, it had to be handed from nationality to nationality.
God told me that we, as His sons and daughters, must carry His radiant Light to the rest of the people within this “Great Southland”. At that point in time, I was unsure specifically what He was showing me and speaking to me about… until now.
Let us “Get up, Stand up and Show up”, before the people of this land of Australia. Let us pray for “The Great Southland of The Holy Spirit” and declare Revival and Transformation over it. Let us take back these beautiful countries for the sake of the people, but, most importantly, for God’s sake.
For the last two years, we have all found it hard — family members have passed away, people have lost their jobs, and so on. Over these last two years, God had taken me to a level of difference from writing poems and painting
This is one of the Poems I received in 2020:
As the Glory of the Light is upon us.
The Healing of the land and the Nation,
Dry bones will arise as I breathe life within.
Take your Light to the Nations, as I restore what was lost.
Hear that call, hear the wave?
Arise, arise receive it! Arise, arise catch it!
Be still and know I have got it.
The portal has been open, now My Spirit can come in and take over.
You are My nest so built it, build it through Worship, Praise and Honour,
My day is drawing near, go to the Nations.
I am your source of life; I give and take.
Words will flow like The River of life.
Fresh breath, fresh wings, as they come from the West, North, South and East.
My love is everlasting forevermore.
Operate the gifts you have received.
Come together, with One Heart, One Love and One Spirit.
You have the authority to do everything in My Name.
So, take the banner and stand for all to see.
Where there is death, I will bring life, so take the WORD to the Nation.
I am your Everlasting Father, that breathes within.
You are my child, that will see the true Me.
People will see and hear what I can do.
Anoint your head, anoint your hands, anoint your feet.
I stand before you; hear My Heartbeat.
As we walk together, people will see the Radiant Light and come to me.
Now let the Revival and Transformation begin for the Great Southland of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer
Lord, may Your Light shine and let darkness disappear across “The Great Southland”, and let us take our part as Your Radiant Light shine before us.
It’s now time for us to “Get up, Stand up and Show up”, to the people. I pray for Revival and Transformation, in Yeshua’s Mighty and Powerful Name.
Amen.

When two massive earthquakes devastated Venezuela on 24 June, killing thousands and displacing millions, it was Christian aid organisations that arrived before most overseas aid, with field hospitals, food, water, and medical teams. Yet Christian relief work remains largely unrecognised by a world that sometimes views it with suspicion.
