In my book, “Light the World: How Your Brilliance Can Shift the Planet” I define a Light Bearer as,
“A Light Bearer is a wise, intuitive inspired creative who lovingly lights the way for others. A light bearer is passionate about assisting people in breaking free from bondage to attain ultimate freedom (whether the chains are of one’s own making, generational, or inflicted by others). Light Bearers are courageous leaders for not only the rising generation but also for lifelong learners of any age.”
When Jesus started His mortal ministry, he read this passage from Isaiah in the synagogue:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.” (Luke 4:18-21)
As the leader of all Light Bearers, Jesus articulated this mission of Light Bearers – to heal, to preach deliverance to the captives, to bring sight to the blind (literally and metaphorically) and to set at liberty.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is always liberty. In a nutshell, what we are here to do is to follow in Christ’s footsteps and lift, heal and liberate those around us.
How do you feel led to heal and to liberate?
