Confession and Repentance (Subjective Shifting Devotion Method http://bishopsilas.blogspot.ca/2009/08/count-down-5-subject-shifting-devotion.html)
1. Pray for the Holy Spirit to shine on you that you are able to discover your sins and be willing to repent:
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."
“Dear Holy Spirit, shine your light into the places of darkness in my life. Show me my sins, everything that blocks me from encountering God and having Jesus as my Lord. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
2. Through the Holy Spirit, examine yourself for a short silence and then pray:
"Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for our sins and being victorious over death and sin. I confess my sin to you(pause, to tell Jesus what the Holy Spirit has shown you). Forgive my sins by your blood and help me follow you. Holy Spirit, fill me that I may be able to receive your gift to love God and His people. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen."
The Word, Time with Abba (Psalm 107:17-22, Isaiah 60:1-62:5; Philippians 1:27-2:18; Proverbs 24:11-12)
Today's main passages:
“Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth
and thick darkness is over the peoples,but the Lord rises upon you
and his glory appears over you.
Nations will come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
Herds of camels will cover your land,
young camels of Midian and Ephah.
And all from Sheba will come,
bearing gold and incense
and proclaiming the praise of the Lord.
young camels of Midian and Ephah.
And all from Sheba will come,
bearing gold and incense
and proclaiming the praise of the Lord.
All Kedar’s flocks will be gathered to you,
the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;
they will be accepted as offerings on my altar,
and I will adorn my glorious temple.
the rams of Nebaioth will serve you;

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passages we have just read. Offer this time to Jesus as you listen to him.
My Listening
The topic I received from Jesus today is: Jesus is Lord, anointed by the Holy Spirit! Arise, shine!
I have found a good way from today's Isaiah to get away from darkness, mourning and despair:
1. Jesus is Lord
We can see from Isaiah 60:1-3, 6-7 is the prophecy about the coming of the Messiah: the kings coming to worship bringing gold and incense riding on camels, and the shepherds with their sheep. When the Messiah comes, people will see light because Jesus is the light of the world. If you are willing to receive Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you are in the light and you are able to shine for Jesus!
2. Anointed by the Holy Spirit
We can see from Isaiah 61:1-3, the passage Jesus read after he was baptized in his home synagogue(Luke 4:1-21) that even Jesus, the Messiah needs to be "full" of the Holy Spirit to start performing signs and wonders!
We need to receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit in order to do the ministry Jesus appoints us to do. If we can live out a life that Jesus is Lord, then the Holy
Spirit will pour down His fresh anointing each that that we can shine for Jesus. We can help people to get out of darkness, mourning and despair because we have the anointing to do so!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to receive the fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit each day that we can shine for you. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
