Heaven’s Rule: The Light of the World Has Come!
Heaven’s Rule: The Light of the World Has Come!
Author: Martha Kilpatrick

The giant universe reveals God and points to His Son . . . for Whose delight it was fashioned and in Whose holy hand it is held. The heavens preside. Heaven rules the day, the night, the hour, the year . . . the crops, the tides. And we live ever under the lines drawn by the heavens above us. For us. If not to God, at least to the "lights," we submit. In the Heavens, the Father utterly rules, issuing life-in-light, down to us.

 But all things become visible when they are    
exposed by the light,
                for everything that becomes visible is light.

Eph. 5:13 NAS 
 

Though humanity prefers darkness,
though Light has come and darkness killed Him,
Light rises unhindered in every place He chooses to beam.

By the pure force of Life,
He will increase and triumph in glory shining,
as certainly and surely as the day
dispels the night every twelve hours.

Light where once it has fallen and invaded,
can never be shut down or put out . . .
nor ever forgotten.
Light can never be defeated by darkness
because He swallowed it on the Tree and
made Light contagious and available
for every dark corner.

Light comes wherever we ask Him in,
over whatever darkness we see . . .
invading where we do not see Him going,
dazzling what we cannot imagine.
And curing the deadly curse of the dark.

Light rises. Always. Ever.

Darkness fights with fury,
but Light is ever shining, always exposing
and profoundly affecting. 

The Light shines.
In the darkness of every
covert cave, humanity is under the Light.
Nothing can hide from Light.
Though we reject it, we cannot dim it
for so much as one ray.

Darkness has no hiding place from Light.

Though Adam hid, he was found.
He was never hidden.
The hiding was illusion from his drink of death.

Nothing is hidden before the Light.

"The life was the light of men."

Christ-life is LIGHT, as the sun,
burning . . . powerful . . . pure . . . magnetic.
And at times . . . scorching.

Light joined dust in One Man but
inside this naturally dark human nature,
Light prevailed . . . and shone. 

We can extinguish our destiny but never the Light.

Hiding from Light creates darkness
but it is blindness
still existing under
a beam of the Brightest Radiance.

We call for Light. We beg for Light.
Light is Jesus beaming, blazing, shining into
black defeat, and onto dark pity. 

Light cannot be extinguished. He has come!
