For this year 2021, the LORD is saying to you:
"Arise and shine! This is your time to receive My light and My glory! The world will get darker and darker, but My glory will be shown upon you brighter and brighter! So, fear not! Your time to arise and shine has come! Many who have despised you will come running to you! Many who have overlooked you will come acknowledging you!"
Isaiah 60:1-3 (NKJV) says, 'Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising'.
And the LORD says further:
"Your key this year is to stay close to Me! Stay close to Me and walk with Me. As I move, you move. As I stop, you stop. Like the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night, you shall follow Me."
"Make this your first and foremost priority: Intimacy. Nothing else matters more than being in intimacy with My Spirit this year! For I am looking for humble and yielded hearts whom I will pour My glory upon! Walk in this key, and you will see how the promises I have spoken in Isaiah 60 shall come upon you, even in ways you cannot imagine!"
People of God, no matter what happens around you in this world, stay close to the LORD and walk with Him closely this year. This is the key for the year 2021. As you walk in intimacy with His Spirit and humble yourself under His mighty hand (1 Peter 5:6), you will see all the promises of God in Isaiah 60 coming to pass in your life.
As for the nations, many nations and cities will be humbled this year, if they do not choose to humble themselves. Let not your nation or city be one of those. Pray and ask for forgiveness and healing for the sins, disunity, strife, corruption, pride, or whatever the LORD has put in your heart to ask for forgiveness and healing.
Pray especially to let go of pride. The Spirit of God is grieved when there is pride. Pray for the leaders in your nation or city (e.g. government leaders, political leaders, church leaders, etc) to learn to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God this year.
2 Chronicles 7:14-15 (NKJV) says, 'If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place'.
The word 'humble' here is 'kana' in Hebrew, and it means 'to bend low (before the LORD), to come into subjection/submission/obedience (before the LORD)'.
1 Peter 5:5-6 (NKJV) says, '... Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time'.
Indeed, when God's people humble themselves, God gives grace. God's grace can mean God's ability and God's supply from heaven. This includes the supply of His light and His glory. And this is how it ties up with the promises of God for you in Isaiah 60.
