Jehovah Ori- The Lord is my LIGHT!

I had the opportunity last night to give a message at youth group while my hubby was away. :) This was my first time taking the lead and it went fantastic! :) Worship was great!! I did not tell the worship team what I would be sharing about but the songs they picked lined up with my message perfectly!!! :) Also during worship I had one boy come up for prayer and was shocked when everything he mentioned he needed for prayer was exactly what my message was going to cover! GOD YOU CONTINUALLY AMAZE ME!! I love how things like that happen. After the message we played a fun game and then we had some ICE CREAM! :) It was a fantastic night.

So what was my message about??? GOD OF COURSE! LOL Here are my notes! I think they are pretty clear notes! :) Wish I would have video taped it and then I could have just posted the video...that would have been fun. :) Oh well, next time I guess. :)

So my message tonight actually is coming from my personal devotional time.

Jehovah- We all know that means God or Lord, but many times we hear Jehovah ________.

Can anyone name a few of them?

Jehovah Jirah- God provider

Jehovah Rohi- God is my Shpherd

Jehovah Shalom- God of Peace

Jehovah Nissi- Lord is my Banner(My victory)

Jehovah Rapha- God Restores or makes better, or to repair.

I want to focus on one of these characteristics of God:

JEHOVAH ORI

Who knows what it means?

Psalm 27:1- The Lord is my Light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? The lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Jehovah Ori- The Lord is my light

Before translation Light was Ori- Ori is Hebrew for Light.

So if God is my Lord of Light what does Light mean??

I want to look at 3 significances for LIGHT and shed a RAY of LIGHT on JEHOVAH -ORI…lol

1st light offers Protection!

-Story about Amy not turning her lights on.

-Notice the fear that is created when light is gone? Storm comes and the lights go out.

Light=Protection- GOD WILL Protect us=NO MORE FEAR

Psalm 41:2 The Lord will Protect him and preserve his life; he will bless him in the land and not surrender him to the desire of his foes.

Psalm 121:7 The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul.

2nd light offers is Inspiration!

Light is associated with Inspiration…think about it. When someone has a really great idea u speak of the light bulb going on with that great idea. God gives us many ideas he presses desires in our heart. God gives us inspiration to make a difference. How many of you were obedient to the Holy spirits leading??

-story of inspiration…

3rd Light offers Direction!

(Blind fold someone)-mini exercise

Have you ever played a group game where one person is blind folded and another person is yelling out directions for you to go. With your eyes blindfolded you don’t see the light you are hearing everyones directions but your partners so imagine life without God’s direction you would be listening to what the world wants you to do. Go to college, go to work, don’t do this, do that, wear this, say this, have sex, drink this, get married, dont get married, etc etc… but when you take the blind fold off and see God’s light his direction is amazing.

Psalm 119: 105 Your WORD is a Lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.

SO ARE YOU IN GOD’S WORD-GETTING DIRECTION FOR YOUR LIFE?? Are you letting the world tell you??

WILL you allow God to be your LIGHT- your protector, inspiration and follow his directions?

If you feel like you have not allowed God to be your LIGHT to be your protector, inspiration, or give you direction I want you to find a spot in the room and pray. Talk to him open up and be real but don't do all the talking... LISTEN TO HIM! Learn his voice!

I know it is hard to just read through someone else's notes but I think many of you can get some stuff out of that nugget. :)

Praise GOD for being my LIGHT! I know I need his direction, protection, and inspiration! :)

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.” The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family. During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
