                        Shine upon you

For I shine upon you says the Lord, I pour out upon you, for the light that 
I pour upon you is My love, and as I pour it upon you, My love, My light 
disperses the darkness that is around you.  For I have called you to be My 
people, says the Lord. And I call you unto Myself and I draw you, I draw you 
unto Me as a magnet would draw iron unto itself.  For I love you, and as I 
pour forth My light upon you. The heat of My light will generate within your 
spirit a newness and a freshness.  For does it not take the light of the sun 
to cause the plants to grow and to reach toward the sky?  And the nourishment 
that they receive from the rains that comes from heaven.  Those things that I 
have placed in the ground says the Lord, causes them to grow and to become 
strong, says the Lord, causes them to grow and I say this day I pour forth 
into you, Myself, My light and of My Word and of My love and I rain down 
upon you in a mighty and glorious way that you will be strengthened and 
encouraged to walk forth in My presence says the Lord.  

Because of My love for you and your love for Me, We shall go forth in the 
power and the presence of My Spirit, Not in your spirit, but in Mine, says 
God.  For I have called a people that will be strong in Me.  I have called 
a people that will declare the boldness of My name throughout all the earth.  
I have called a people that shall be a light upon the earth, says the Lord.  

For have I not said in My word, not to hide a light under a bushel?  For no 
one can see it.  For I say to you let that light that I pour down within you 
to shine forth and disperse the darkness round about you.  I said also in My 
word that everywhere that you go, I go with you, for I never leave you nor 
forsake you says the Lord.  I will give you the strength and boldness of 
logic to step forth and to go strong into the presence of the world to 
declare My name, and as you declare it says God, there shall be many that 
come to know Me, because of your faith and your joy in Me, says the Lord.  

And that joy strengthens you, and gives you all that you need.  So reach unto 
Me, and allow Me to touch, and let My light shine upon you.  For it is by the 
blood of My Son, that you have life, and I've given it to you, in an abundant 
way, take a hold says God, and go forth with it in My name.
