We are the Lights of the World: So be the Light!

Dearly Beloved Church and Saints of The Most High GOD,

In this world there is so much darkness. With Christ Jesus The LORD in us, Who is the Light of the world: WE ARE THE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS! When we step out into the darkness, the Light consumes all that is around us. Everything that we touch turns to a burning flame leaving sparks wherever we go. As we walk through this world wielding the Light, everyone around us can see the difference and they notice there is something unique about us. Jesus said: "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 5:14-16). Therefore we are to let our light shine before all of this world! There are so many people out there who are lost, seeking a light of some kind. Little do they know: the craving they are feeling from deep within themselves is their spirit yearning for GOD and their soul crying out for release and reconciliation with Him. The only light some people may ever see is through us, and it is our commission in this life to spread the Truth of the Gospel of Peace into all of this world: The Truth Who Is Jesus Christ The LORD (Mark 16:15-16).

Being of this world which is bound in the darkness of the curse of sin, we must learn how to walk through it without allowing it to seep into us and cloud the Light within us. We must be in this world but not be of this world; for Jesus speaks in John 17 and 18 of how His Kingdom is not of this world and how we shall be hated for His Name' sake because we too are not of this world. We are of a spiritual kingdom; The Word says "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light" (1 Peter 2:9). We are the Light Bearers who carry the torch for our King; just as in a race we pass on the torch of Light to the next person and the next person, planting seeds wherever we set our feet, spreading the Light of the world into the darkness of this world. GOD is Light and in Him there is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). His Word is the Light and Jesus Christ is the Word of GOD (John 1:1). In the beginning GOD divided the Light from the darkness, for we are a chosen generation and of a royal priesthood separated from this world (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

So how do we walk through this great darkness which is bound by the god of this world, who is the father of lies, without falling into his snares? We must have the Truth in us, upon us, and guarding us at all times! We must take on the whole armor of GOD, girding our loins with His Truth. We put on the armor of GOD as a soldier puts on his armor for battle before he goes out to war. We must remember that we are straight centered in the middle of an ancient war between darkness and the Light, therefore we cannot walk out into this world without equipping ourselves for battle being ready in season and out of season to draw all those unto Jesus Christ as we possibly can (2 Timothy 4:2). Jesus is coming again soon (Matthew 24:31-33), and He is the only Way and the only Truth: HE IS THE LIGHT (John 14:6). Jesus said: "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life" (John 8:12). He is the Light that shines in the darkness, for The Word (King Jesus) is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (Psalm 119:105). If we who have Christ within us know that He is the only Way and we proclaim to love others in this world which for them we know He also died for, then we must share the Truth of the Light with all who we cross paths with and hold dear to our hearts. For Jesus said: "No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light" (Luke 8:16). We must spread the Light!

THEREFORE LET YOUR LIGHTS SHINE!

Be encouraged in Jesus' Name!
"Now The LORD of peace Himself give you peace always by all means. The LORD be with you all." (2 Thessalonians 3:16).
Keep us in Prayer that the advancing of His glorious Kingdom comes through us as we wait for His powerful day of arrival. God Bless you in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ The LORD!
