No matter how deep, black, dark, or impossible your pit, hole or hell is, there is one that can save you.
The answer is near you and in you! The answer is so very simple, yet most people miss it. LIFE
Life
People often misunderstand this word, this substance is called life, yet it undergirds and sustains all things.
“In Him was LIFE and the LIFE was the light of men and light shines in darkness and darkness comprehended it not” ( John 1:4)
No matter how black it is, how painful, hopeless, impossible, the stuff called LIFE always overcomes darkness. Darkness can not overthrow LIFE
“Then God said, “Let there be LIGHT”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was GOOD; and God divided the light from the darkness.” Genesis 1:3
God commanded light out of darkness. He saw the light that it was good. I heard an interpretation of this scripture years ago, and it went something like this, When God created light, He said, “Light in me Be”
“For as the Father HATH LIFE in himself: so HATH he given to the Son to have LIFE in himself.” John 5:26
LIFE as a gift
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, HATH everlasting LIFE, and shall not come into condemnation, BUT IS PASSED FROM DEATH unto LIFE.” John 5:24
You can be in a black ⚫️ 🖤 dark pit one moment and pass from death to life in the next.
How? The Word, what Word? The Word of Life (1 John 1:1-5). The Word of Life must be in two places- your Heart ❤️ and in your mouth- it is called the Word of faith-
God took this substance called “LIFE” and put it inside of those who will receive it
The process is explained in Romans 10:6-13. This process is so beautiful and wonderful because it is personal, doesn’t cost a dime, and is available NOW!
“But what does it say? “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart ❤️ that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:8-9
Three people in scripture who came out of dark place
1. King David was in a horrible pit. His feet were stuck in miry clay. God lifted him up and set him on a rock and put a new sound in his heart, Psalms 40:13
2. The prodigal Son fell upon hard times because of bad decisions, yet he understood he could return to his father’s house, read his story, Luke 15:11-32
3. The woman caught in the act of adultery, she had received a death sentence, but Jesus with -15 words- “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her”
got her set free from a death sentence, John 8:1-12.
The problem:
-We make our situations worse because of a lack of knowledge
-We feed into powerlessness, not understanding what we have a right to; according to scripture,
“…that as many as RECEIVED him to them gave he POWER…”, John 1:12
The Answer
1 John 5:11-12, he that hath the Son hath LIFE
1 Corinthians 4:6-7, “For God, commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. BUT WE HAVE THIS TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS, THAT THE EXCELLENCY OF THE POWER MAY BE OF GOD, AND NOT OF US.”
What treasure is he talking about? The Word of Life
Jesus said? John 10:10,
“The thief cometh not, bur for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have LIFE, and that they might have it MORE ABUNDANTLY. “
Know that in this reality wrapped around us, there is a raging battle between good and evil, and you must know how to use the weapons of your warfare. You must fight the good fight of faith, lay hold of the promises, and don’t let go!!!
Grace & peace
