It ain't overt till it's over...I was reading in John 21 about the disciples going fishing after Jesus had gone to the grave...
They went back to doing what they knew to do after 3.5 years walking with Jesus, witnessing the miracles, casting out devils, healing the sick, learning the ways of the kingdom, etc...
They went back at night... darkness will draw you back to the old life. Been crazy lately the amount of believers choosing the "old life" again after the years of being faithful. Lord make me faithful to the end... it is how we finish the race.
Peter and the boys were in a low spot... no resources, no presence, dark, hiding from the public/people. Yet they responded to his voice when he spoke to them the next morning.
Joy comes in the AM! Wait it out till the AM before you make a bad decision in the PM.
Then the disciple whom Jesus loved recognized him... John the Revelator, the one who laid on his bosom, who listened to his heartbeat, smelled his breath, his intimacy with Jesus was staggering (another message perhaps)...
At his command they OBEYED and cast the net again... Them boys grew up fishing. They knew you couldn't catch fish in the daylight in Galilee, yet @ his Word!
153 whoppers almost sunk em... could this number be significant in our day? Are we right at the end of the final harvest? 153 unreached people groups?
Nevertheless Lord at thy word, CAST THE NET!

Hi! I have never left a comment before here, but this message is so relevant! It fits, so we need top look in the Word and it is there we see that the Light of the World walks and lives IN US! So, when you find yourself in darkness, isn't it time to figure out what is hiding the Light? Your flesh! So get back into the Light, the Word, who is Christ, and put off the control of the flesh!
