PRAYERS:
Blessed art thou O Lord Our God, King of The Universe Who has
given to us holidays, customs, and seasons for gladness. For the glory of The
Lord Yeshua, Our Messiah, The Light Of The World.
Blessed art Thou, Lord Our God, Master of the Universe, Who
performed miracles for our fathers in those days at this time.
We kindle these lights to commemorate the wonders and the
miracles and the saving acts that You have performed for our forefathers, in
those days at this time, by Your Holy Priests. And all throughout the
eight days of Hanukkah, these lights are holy and we are not permitted to make
use of them, but only to behold them, in order to offer thanks and praise to
Your great Name, for Your miracles, for Your wonder, and for Your salvation.
MEDITATION:
John 1:4-5: In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness
comprehended it not.
John 8:12: Then speaks Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the
world. He that followeth Me shall not
walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.
John 12:35-36: Then Jesus said unto them, yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, least darkness
come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whether he goeth. While ye have light, believe in the light
that ye may be the children of light.
These things spoke Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

Just as
we have been given by God one sun to light the sky, there is only One Son of
God. This is the Son from whom comes the light of life! He is the ONE and ONLY son! There is to be no more.
Be careful that you worship God and are not deceived by the false anti-christs that are out there in the world today. They come as an angel of light and they catch you off guard. Study to show yourself approved that they may not deceive you with their dark ways.
The ways of darkness never line up with the light of Christ.
His beautiful light shines ever out of the darkness leading us to the one true path of righteousness and salvation.
He is the way, the truth, the life and the light!
Follow Him!
Even some of the high religious leaders of today are walking in darkness. Beware and take heed for yourselves that God knows this and in the end they will be punished for deceiving His children. The scriptures say it would be better for a millstone to be tied around someone's neck and for them to be drowned in the sea than for someone to deceive a true child of God. Many will come to deceive but we must walk in the light while there is still the light to walk by.
If you read the news you will recognize that part of The Holy land was given away in an act of dark deception by people who have no right to say what happens to it.
I am embarrassed by America's part in this unrighteous move. I feel what happened does not reflect the whole heart of our people. Can a man that has been defeated by popular vote make this move on his own? He does not speak for me! What is fair about that?
What is fair about an organization making themselves the police of the world?
Who gave them the right to wreak such havoc with such brutal carelessness?
What gives a person or an organization the right to give away what belongs to God? God's people have always lived in Israel. If you curse them God will curse you. If you bless them; God will bless you. Obviously, this organization gone wild has never consulted God about anything.
How would you feel if some self-proclaimed authority swooped down on you and said, we are taking all you have ever owned and giving it away to some other people; go away and find another place to live. You are not wanted here! You are no longer wanted in your own home. Leave. Forget what you have fought and worked your whole life for; it is irrelevant because we have decided to say so! Who has the right to take part of one country and give it to another people?
Never has the message of the miracle of Hanukkah been more important!
We are living in very similar days. When Antiochus IV Epiphanes desecrated the Temple before God sent the great miracle of Hanukkah, the people felt hopeless. They were lost and did not know what to do next. Then God provided a way and He sent a great light that lasted for eight days as a sign that He was still looking after His own.
In those days the people of Jerusalem were being forced to adhere to laws they did not want in their land. The new laws were opposed to those that God gave and they were an abomination unto Him. God NEVER lets such things continue for long. He ALWAYS comes to the defense of His people. The story isn't over yet. There is more that has been written.

Trust Jesus Christ who died for you to light the way for you.
His truth is the only truth.
His way is the only way.
He is the TRUE light of the world.
