Shine

Hello and welcome to the Land Leader Podcast. This is your host, Sylvie Crosslard. Today we carry on with our 5-week series called Let There Be Light. We see scriptures and pray. The overall aim of this series is to help you do deep Bible studies called exegesis on your own. I'm taking you where you're at right now, and this week Let's get you crowned. Hello! Like, subscribe to, and share this podcast with your friends, your church buddies. If you were listening previously, we're keeping our momentum, and if you couldn't listen yesterday, you need to get the previous episodes first. This week we're going after receiving crowns. There's a process for that. We'll go through it together. I'll be sharing text from my free devotional Crown. Every day. Today is the final day. Ha ha! The link is in the description for those of you who want to download it. To get the full set of devotionals and journals for next five weeks, you can get the other four journals and devotionals for half price on my website. The link is in the description. Let's begin with prayer. Berra berra babasha yarreduhu. Sugar. And I say unto you, ho! Praise, praise away, praise your way forward. Ho! Don't count how much you need to praise. Ho! Don't count the cost of praise. Ha! Hehe. Oh, praise is a key. Hmm. Praise is a key, ha, that unlocks doors. Oh, you don't praise backwards. You praise for you praise forwards. Ha ha ha ha ha! Praise is a forward investment. Oh ha ha ha ha ha! Whoo! Whoo! Thank you for keeping us praising forward, for keeping putting the praise in as an offering. Today's topic is Shine. From the NLT, Exodus 30:15: When this offering is given to the Lord to purify your lives, making you right The rich must not give more than the specified amount, and the poor must not give less. 2 Chronicles 5:10. Nothing was in the Ark except the 2 stone tablets that Moses had placed in it at Mount Sinai, where the Lord made a covenant with the people of Israel when they left Egypt. Revelation 22:10. Then he instructed me, do not seal up the prophetic words in this book, For the time is near. And the Word of God is: There's an amount of praise and thanksgiving which is non-negotiable to open the gates. There's an amount of soaking in the blood of my Son shed on the cross that is non-negotiable. The sacrifice of praise, the praise offering, has to attain a certain amount for the city gates to open, and there's an amount of purification repentance required to enter those gates. A new type of holiness never championed before, never known or experienced before, is required. It's the new benchmark. It's the new threshold to go across the threshold of the city gates. Anything less and the gates won't open. And we pray. Thank you, Jesus, that as we have and take dominion through repentance, we get a legal right to soak the blood shed for us at the cross. A gift to become washed, refreshed, purified, worthy to enter the new place of intimacy, and being deemed worthy to be the light setters, setting places alight for your kingdom.
