BE A LAMPSTAND

Being a lampstand requires that you be a witness.

A witness is one who validates the claim of another. We are witnesses of a message, a realm and the possibilities in God.

Acts 1:8 You become an efficient witness when you have received the holy spirit. The goal of the holy spirit is to empower you for your assignment.

You are not yet a witness until your voice is heard.

You are the candle that looses itself that light may shine.

That I may decrease....

There's something the Holy Spirit has to do to you before you can be a witness.

When you're on that hill, your glory is fading while His is increasing.

That's the price of being a lampstand.

The epicenter of your self worth must be willing to be handed over like a drink offering.

When the Holy Spirit comes into your life it's not first to anoint you.... you have to die first. He has to make you.

Your ego will be stung. This is the most difficult pruning. At this stage, he builds your faith. But all you have to do is surrender and watch him make your life a living wonder.

Your Christian walk won't be complete if you fail to witness and shine as a light. 

Matthew 5:14 

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
