Scripture: Shared by body of Christ

Matthew 5:14-16 ... Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Exhortation:  (Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet)

Notice in the above scripture that "it giveth light unto all that are in the house" ... 


I suspect this means light to all who belong to the house of God.

=========

We, who have the Spirit of God and are chosen by God, have the light of the Spirit of God dwelling in us.  We do not see things like this world sees things.  And from time to time, people will say things and the Spirit of God in us will arise to answer them.

Several years ago, I was playing golf with two women.  Both women called themselves Christian.  One woman began talking against people who judge other people.  The Holy Spirit rose up in me and through my mouth came the words:  "If you judge people are judging aren't you judging."  She gasped.  It was like a balloon fill with air and all of a sudden the air came out of the balloon.  She made an audible noise of shock when she heard the word spoken by the Spirit of God.

We, who are of God, are light.  We go into a room where the world is and we are not like the people in that room.  We are light.  We don't go along with their plans.  We are another Spirit.  We may not end up speaking a word to them.  We may just walk away.  But they feel the difference in us and often they do not like being around us for darkness cannot co-exist with light.

And when God opens our mouth we speak.  But even when we do not speak, we are not one of this world and we are light in their darkness.
