WALKING IN HIS GLORIOUS LIGHT
LIVING in the LIGHT with VISION
“Then the LORD answered me and said,
“Record the vision and inscribe it on tablets, that the one who reads it may run.
For the vision is yet for the appointed time;
It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it;
For it will certainly come, it will not delay.”
Habakkuk 2:2-3
Our Focus for today will be LIVING in the LIGHT with VISION
vision (ˈviZHən )
the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination or wisdom
a mental image of what the future will or could be like
an experience of seeing someone or something in a dream or trance, or as a supernatural apparition
A REVELATION – Something unveiled or revealed
imagination, creativity, inventiveness, innovation, inspiration, intuition, perception, insight, foresight, prescience.
ALLOW THE LORD TO BE YOUR VISION!
Let Him be your guiding force… for your past, present and future…keep your eyes fixed on and worship Him ALONE!
Here are today’s scriptures:
Proverbs 29:18 Psalm 89:15-24
SING THE SONG – “Be Thou My Vision”… https://youtu.be/jIMhshpf0Y4
***See Lyrics below – Both Original Translation and Today’s Version
Basic instructions: Please read each scripture one at a time, expounding on it, drawing on the revelation being made! After praying over it, as the Holy Spirit leads, move on to the next scripture doing the same. Please do this each hour as the Holy Spirit will release deeper revelations and a greater understanding of our part in God’s overall purposes of restoration of the Church, the United States of America, and the nations of the earth.
Please use the console when able and ask individuals to identify themselves when they pray. Please do not ask for a roll call at the beginning of your session as it uses time we could spend on praying

Let God’s LIGHT penetrate the darkness and do not focus on the darkness,
but rather on how all is being brought out into the LIGHT.
While WALKING IN HIS GLORIOUS LIGHT, our beings are flooded by that LIGHT
and we rejoice as all in being renewed in the LIGHT!
“Be Thou My Vision”
English translation by Mary Byrne, 1905
FROM THE ORIGINAL OLD IRISH TEXT in 6th Century by Saint Dallas Forgaill
Be thou my vision O Lord of my heart
None other is aught but the King of the seven heavens.
Be thou my meditation by day and night.
May it be thou that I behold even in my sleep.
Be thou my speech, be thou my understanding.
Be thou with me, be I with thee
Be thou my father, be I thy son.
Mayst thou be mine, may I be thine.
Be thou my battle-shield, be thou my sword.
Be thou my dignity, be thou my delight.
Be thou my shelter, be thou my stronghold.
Mayst thou raise me up to the company of the angels.
Be thou every good to my body and soul.
Be thou my kingdom in heaven and on earth.
Be thou solely chief love of my heart.
Let there be none other, O high King of Heaven.
Till I am able to pass into thy hands,
My treasure, my beloved through the greatness of thy love
Be thou alone my noble and wondrous estate.
I seek not men nor lifeless wealth.
Be thou the constant guardian of every possession and every life.
For our corrupt desires are dead at the mere sight of thee.
Thy love in my soul and in my heart —
Grant this to me, O King of the seven heavens.
O King of the seven heavens grant me this —
Thy love to be in my heart and in my soul.
With the King of all, with him after victory won by piety,
May I be in the kingdom of heaven O brightness of the son.
Beloved Father, hear, hear my lamentations.
Timely is the cry of woe of this miserable wretch.
O heart of my heart, whatever befall me,
O ruler of all, be thou my vision.

“Be Thou My Vision”
English version by Eleanor Hull, 1912
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
