Keeping our Lamps Full

 Ps 119:105

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

Matt 25

1“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

6“And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom [a]is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.

11“Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’

13“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour [b]in which the Son of Man is coming.

Acts 4:31

After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

1 Cor 4:20

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

The path forward will be shown to us by having our lamps full of oil which is the Spirit of God.  Each one of us must be filled up to overflowing with the Spirit of God each day.  Each day we pray, we offer ourselves as living sacrifices to Him who saved us in many ways.  As an act of our will we reject this world and everything it has to offer and instead we choose the Spirit of the Lord to be our treasure here on earth and the Spirit of the Lord is our treasure in Heaven.  We put Him first in all things.  We seek first the Kingdom of God.  This is both the "what" we are to do and "how" we do it.

The Spirit of the Lord is not timid.  When He shows up mountains move.  When He shows up the dead are raised, water is turned to wine, the blind receive their sight etc.  This is the path forward.  We are to walk in signs wonders and miracles just as Jesus did.  This is also the answer to this worlds current darkness problem.  Each one of us need our lamps lit and dialed up to a 10/10.  Light drives out darkness every time without exception it is both a physical and spiritual law.

We need to settle into this new "optempo" that the Lord has set for us.  We are to fully engage with all of our talents, skills and abilities on the road upward to meet our Lord Jesus Christ in the air.  On this earth we are to rise up in every possible way (mentally, spiritually, physically) in the upward call that is ours in Christ Jesus

Phil 3:14

I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

We are to take a sledgehammer to the darkness everywhere it is found in this world.  No more "waiting us out" for 4 years, no more allowing hidey hole dark corners.  No more "tolerance" of wicked perverts on our school boards.  No more tolerance of fraud, scamming, lieing cheating in our elections, no more wickedness in our court rooms, city councils, city, county and state governments.  No more "deep state" allowed to hide out and ride the wave of darkness forward into 2028.  The Divine Hammer, the rod of iron is coming for all of it.  This is the Lord God's will in the year of our Lord 2024 and we stand in agreement with His will and with each other.  So let it be written, so let it be done.

There is no communion between light and darkness.  In Him, there is no darkness at all.  So, we the Church on this earth filled with the Spirit of God means the darkness everywhere around us has to go...They can pack their bags willingly or they can get ejected forcefully.  Its going to happen one way or the other.  The Lord has stretched out His hand against the enemy in this season, who can resist Him?

Isa 14

24The Lord Almighty has sworn,

“Surely, as I have planned, so it will be,

and as I have purposed, so it will happen.

25I will crush the Assyrian in my land;

on my mountains I will trample him down.

His yoke will be taken from my people,

and his burden removed from their shoulders.”

26This is the plan determined for the whole world;

this is the hand stretched out over all nations.

27For the Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him?

His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?

Glory to God Almighty in the Highest.  Peace to mankind on earth.  The Lord God is risen and working for His people.  This will not be boring :)

Glory to God

grace and peace
