Oil, Light, and the Hidden Miracle

The best-known miracle of Chanukah, preserved in Jewish tradition rather than recorded in the Hebrew Scriptures, tells of a single, undefiled cruse of oil—enough for only one day—yet it burned for eight. Whether remembered as history or received as sacred legend, its message is relevant for us.  In the aftermath of desecration, when compromise had polluted nearly everything in the Temple, the issue was never abundance but holiness. Heaven did not count how much oil remained; it honored what had not been defiled. What endured was not the quantity of oil, but the purity of what was left.

A light in dark times: why Chanukah matters!

As people around the world gathered last night to light the first candle of Chanukah, I want to explain that this feast is far more than a historical remembrance—it is a prophetic key. For this reason, I am stepping aside briefly from the current series to focus on Chanukah and why it must be studied, discerned, and understood for its end-time significance.

Putting On Messiah: Dressing in the New Creation

Once identity has been embraced, and once the old nature has been put off, Scripture calls us into the next movement of transformation: putting on Yeshua (Jesus) Himself. Identity is not merely something we believe — it is something we wear. It becomes visible, tangible, and unmistakable as we clothe ourselves in the character of the One who redeemed us.

From “Wretched Man” to Victorious Son!

Every believer walking the path of sanctification soon discovers that the Christian life is a battleground—not because we are weak, but because we have been awakened. When the Spirit makes us alive, the war between flesh and Spirit intensifies. This inner conflict is not evidence of failure; it is evidence of formation. It means the Spirit is at work, confronting what once ruled us.

Rejecting the Old Nature: A Holy Defiance

As we walk deeper into our walk, we come face to face with a reality that cannot be ignored: the old nature does not quietly step aside. It must be put off. It must be denied. It must be crucified. Identity in Yeshua (Jesus) reveals who we are. Still, surrender begins to reshape us—and now we learn that walking in the Spirit requires a holy defiance against everything in us that belongs to the old life.

The Surrendered Will: Yielding Daily to the Spirit

Now that we have laid the foundation—that identity becomes calling—we move into the first and most essential expression of our response: surrender. Identity without surrender becomes theory. Identity with surrender becomes transformation. Knowing who you are in Yeshua (Jesus) must lead to a yielded life, because the Spirit does not shape what we withhold. He forms what He fills, and He fills what is fully surrendered.

When Identity Becomes Calling

If you’re just joining us on this journey, welcome. I’ve just completed a month-long series exploring our identity in the Messiah — who we are because of His finished work, His love, His calling, and His transformative grace. We discovered that identity is not something we earn; it is something we receive. It is not fragile; it is rooted. It is not changing; it is anchored in the eternal purposes of God. But now we turn a corner, because identity is never meant to be the destination. It is meant to be the foundation. Identity is not the finish line—it is the starting gate. And now that we know who we are in Messiah, we step into the next essential revelation: identity becomes calling.

Don’t stop now – more truth and grace await.
