Name Tags: You are… Stars

Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth,
And deep darkness the peoples;
But the Lord will rise upon you,
And His glory will appear upon you.
Nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising

Isaiah 60:1-3 (NASB)

Praise him, sun and moon, praise Him, all you shining stars!

Psalm 148:3 (ESV)

Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.

Daniel 12:3 (NIV)

In the vastness of space, why do stars shine? God has given them “fusion reactors,” planted strategically in their cores, releasing vast amounts of energy.*

If you believe, obey and follow Christ, if His Holy Spirit lives within you... you have the most powerful Reactor in the universe now FUSING with YOU.

Because fusion joins two things together, which then become a single entity. (BTW: Our Almighty God invented science. Man’s “discoveries” only affirm Him!)

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

This “star knowledge” reconfirms your mission. With Jesus in you, you’re destined to glow!

As the Lord predicted through Isaiah, deep darkness now covers most of the earth:

  • The brutal darkness of sex trafficking,

  • The explosive darkness on battlefields,

  • The spiritual darkness of anguish,

  • The corrupting darkness of selfish lust,

  • The confusing darkness in media,

  • The easy darkness of pornography,

  • The blinding darkness of idolatry,

  • The dressed-up darkness in false-light churches, and

  • The dramatic darkness in theaters.

In these places (and countless more), take heart! The Lord sends you, HIS stars, to all of them!

Remember, stars are best seen in darkness. Therein, God's stars now shine in media– pointing fans up, toward the One True Star!

So keep rising and shining for Jesus!

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
