How Do You Know When God Talks To You - (Ways To Know For Sure)

In the realm of the Spirit, I heard the Lord refer to me the passage out of Isaiah 60 and verse one, where He says, Arise and shine, for your light has indeed come and the glory of the Lord has arisen upon you.

Of course, we know gross darkness will be upon the people, but His light shall be seen upon you.

The Time Of Great Exploits Has Begun In Jesus' Name

This is a time for those in the Body of Christ who know the Lord to be strong and do great exploits.

It's a time for those who are in the body of Christ to do what God has commissioned them to do. This is going to be a time of great change and great turning towards God for The Church, and even for the world, for the impact of The Church will be felt as the Body of Christ makes a concerted effort to turn towards the Lord to establish His will and His glorious plans in the earth.

Teaching: Stepping Into God’s Light and Glory

Isaiah 60:1 is a powerful call to action and recognition of God’s timing. The prophet encourages the people to “arise” and “shine” because their light has come—the Lord is initiating a season of visibility, favor, and divine empowerment. This verse shows that God’s plan includes moments when His glory illuminates our paths, and we are called to step into it actively.

1. Arise and Take Your Position

“Arise…” The Hebrew term קוּם (qum) conveys standing up, rising, and taking action. This is more than physical movement—it is a spiritual posture of readiness and obedience. God’s plan often requires us to rise from inactivity, fear, or stagnation.

The Lord Jesus models this principle throughout His ministry. He called His followers to active participation in God’s mission, not passive observation.

Application for today:
Stand in faith and step forward in obedience. Let go of passivity and be ready to engage in what God has prepared. Today is the day to arise in alignment with His plan.

2. Shine as a Reflection of God’s Light

“…shine; for thy light is come…” The Hebrew word אוֹר (or) represents both illumination and revelation. The arrival of light signals that God’s favor and guidance are present. Believers are called to reflect this light through actions, words, and faith.

The Lord Jesus Himself is the Light of the World, and His light in us enables us to influence and encourage others in alignment with God’s purpose.

Application for today:
Allow your faith and obedience to reflect God’s presence. Be intentional about radiating hope, truth, and encouragement in your surroundings. Shine in your sphere of influence today.

3. The Glory of God Rises Upon You

“…and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.” The Hebrew כָּבוֹד (kavod) indicates weightiness, honor, and divine manifestation. God’s glory brings empowerment, distinction, and visibility. It is not merely decorative—it carries authority and purpose.

When the Lord Jesus walked among men, His glory empowered His works and confirmed His message. Likewise, God’s glory rises upon those aligned with Him, activating their calling.

Application for today:
Expect God’s glory to make your steps fruitful. Accept divine empowerment to fulfill His plan. Walk with awareness that your actions are under His illumination and authority.

4. God Initiates the Timing

“Thy light is come…” This shows that God determines the moment for revelation. The Hebrew verb בָּא (ba) indicates arrival or coming, emphasizing that God orchestrates timing. He raises up light, favor, and opportunity according to His wisdom.

The Lord Jesus exemplified perfect timing, moving only when the Father directed Him. God’s plan unfolds in divine season, not human schedule.

Application for today:
Trust God’s timing for breakthroughs, recognition, and favor. Step into opportunities as He opens them, rather than forcing outcomes. Today, move in the moments He illuminates.

5. A Call to Active Participation

The combination of “arise” and “shine” indicates that believers have a responsibility. God’s plan includes our active cooperation. Being aware of His light and glory is not enough—action must follow revelation.

The Lord Jesus taught that disciples are the “light of the world” and must let their light shine before others (Matthew 5:16).

Application for today:
Do not wait for external validation or comfort to act. Step into God’s plan with confidence, reflecting His glory through your words and deeds. Today, be proactive in walking in His light.
