Arise and Shine for Your Light Has Come!
My “freshwater” fish tank has been giving birth to what looks like “saltwater” sea shells! They live under and around the rocks. As I ponder this, I wonder if God has a prophetic message for me in this. I pretty much look under every rock – so to speak – to hear and learn from God. So let’s see what we can discover today. The first thing I discovered is that these are not sea snails but rather, trumpet snails. Obviously I don’t know much about aquariums. But I think God is about to blast a message to me.
The next day:
This morning I was standing in the kitchen watching the sea shells climb up the glass and the Word of the Lord came to me:
“Arise and Shine for Your Light Has Come!” – Isaiah 61:1.
and Yahweh’s glory now streams from you! Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth,
and thick gloom covers the nations, but Yahweh arises upon you and the brightness of his glory appears over you! Nations will be attracted to your radiant light and kings to the sunrise-glory of your new day. Lift up your eyes higher! Look all around you and believe, for your sons are returning from far away and your daughters are being tenderly carried home. Watch as they all gather together, eager to come back to you! We were born to be the light of the world.
We were sent to release the Kingdom of heaven to the world. But instead we have adapted to the environment that we were placed in. We have become complacent, apathetic and sleepy.
God is exhorting us today. “Arise and shine people of God! Stop hiding in the rocks. Come out and be seen. Release God’s Love and the Kingdom of heaven into the earth!” Matthew 5:13-15
Update:
It’s been several weeks and the sea trumpets are multiplying. The floor and glass walls are covered with them and they have taken over the fish tank! God is saying to the saints, “Occupy! occupy! Occupy the land that I have placed you in!” 
Joshua 18:3 -So Joshua said to the Israelite’s: “How long will you wait before you begin to take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has given you?
I pray that we, the children of God will obey His instruction today. That we would arise and shine, posses the land, spread the good news, release the Kingdom of God and influence the people with His goodness.
Oh Lord that you would add to our number until we have covered the face of the earth like the sand of the shores… A people who love you, pursue you and share the good news of your name! …Until the day that you return to say, ” Well done! My good and faithful friends.”
Arise and Shine for Your Light Has Come!
Prophecy confirmed
Candi, I just love how the Lord speaks prophetically to and through you! Such a great word of exhortation. Thank you for being willing to share the words of life that He gives you.
