Diamonds

           Twinkling lights in darkness is what I saw several days ago in prayer. The twinkling was from light reflecting off of many, many diamonds that were in the wall of a cave. It was so dark that this sparkling was all that could be seen. As I looked at the diamonds, there was such a feeling of awe and amazement of God’s strength, boldness, courage, bravery, wisdom and more.

The diamonds were his people that had been prepared in the dark. They had been cut, polished, and prepared through difficulties and hardships. As a diamond reflects light off of their various facets, so these people have been prepared to reflect the various facets of God. Depending on how a light hits, sometimes it will reflect in one large area, sometimes multiple. I felt how pleased God was with the work he had done in these and how excited he was to show that work off.

The cave became a stage. It reminded me of America’s Got Talent. This was the shining ones on display for his glory. Some would appeal, or speak to a few, and some to the many. Each had a role to play. Like those who come on the television show, they had undergone much life training for this.

Only the stage lights and the diamonds were shining. Everything else was in darkness, and it was very dark. I believe there is a dark time coming, but he is going to shine brightly in it. In that time, he will be all that we need him to be as we cling to him.

As I had looked at the diamonds in the dark wall in awe, thinking of God’s attributes, and aspects of his character, I heard ‘Days of Elijah’ and started hearing the song in my head. I was reminded of when the Lord passed by Elijah as he declared his name (1 Kings 19). Now he’s about to declare his name in all the earth. (I would like to encourage you to look up the lyrics to this song.)

Those facets of the diamonds are going to reflect his light of “I Am Righteous. I Am Healer. I Am Brave, Bold, and Strong. I Am Provider. I Am Defender of the broken, down trodden, and weak. I Am Warrior. I Am Wisdom. I Am Father of the fatherless. I Am Husband to the Widow.” These are the facets of God that had been and were being shown of himself in each of their lives.

In the past several weeks, I’ve heard, “brace yourself”, “buckle up”, and “get ready”. I believe God is saying that the show is about to begin. I don’t know what the months to come will look like, but I know that he is faithful.

If you need prayer, please message me, I’d be happy to pray with you.
