1. The One who commanded light to shine out of darkness with 4 words, “Let there be light” and light was and God saw the light that it was GOOD. See Genesis 1:3-4. He shines in our hearts π π β₯οΈ
2. John 1:1-5 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was with in the beginning with God. All things were by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. IN HIM WAS LIFE, AND THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN. AND THE LIGHT SHINETH IN DARKNESS: AND THE DARKNESS COMPREHENDED IT NOT.”
2. He was in the world and the world was made by him. The world knew him not. He came to his own people and they did not receive him. John 1:10-11
3. But as many AS received him, to them gave God gave power, John 1:12
4. THE WORD God was made flesh and dwelt among us. We beheld his glory. The glory of the only begotten Son of God full of grace and truth, John 1:14
5. Of His fullness have we all RECEIVED grace for grace, John 1:16. Every season of your life, there is grace to be had or experienced. But the grace has to be received. It’s your inheritance. If you don’t fight for it, it will pass you by.
1 Timothy 6:13, Fight the good fight of faith. Lay a hold of eternallife. When I think about fighting the good fight of faith, I think about the heavy weight champion Mike Tyson when he was preparing for a fight. He was super focused, like a lazer beam. He was intentional.
Without faith, it is impossible to please God. I believed the laws of inheritance were designed to work by faith, because when something is given to people without a cost to them personally, they do not honor those gifts.
6. I know people who struggle with suicidal thoughts and depression. But if they only knew the One who leveled mountains and hills, elevated the deepest vallies. Made crooked places straight and rough places smooth. The One who leveled the playing field so that anybody anywhere can receive deliverance and freedom. They’re broken hearts can be healed, Luke 4:18.
7. The One, who in the beginning, commanded light to shine out darkness. The One who divided the light from the darkness. He shines in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus.
Get this: this treasure resides on the inside of us. 2 Corinthians 4:6-7
8. The playing field is leveled because the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil, 1 John 3:8
Because God’s SEED remains in you reproducing the life and light of God in you, 1 John 3:9
9. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that can separate us from the love of God, Romans 8:35-39
10. There is no sin that stop God from granting you eternal life. The thing that can and does stop the power is your choice not to receive. So many people make their problems so big and scary π¨. But the truth is Jesus paid your for your sins in full, John 3:16. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have the gift of Life.
You know what condemns a person, what gives depression and suicidal thoughts a foothold- choice- God gave people dominion on earth and he never took it away. Everything that moves, swims, fly… See Genesis 1:28. Some people use their God given dominion to hurt others. You never have to give in to its, thems, or theys.
11. “And this is the condemnation, that LIGHT is come into the world, AND MEN LOVED DARKNESS rather than LIGHT…” John 3:19 that’s CHOICE. Adam chose the forbidden fruit.
The light wasn’t deficient or powerless. Darkness could not stop it or put it. In Him was life and the life was light to people.
What stop it? βοΈ Choice. What cause life to flow? Choice
