“I didn’t realize I was in the dark until the light was turned on!”

^{Years ago as I was visiting family in South Florida over Christmas, I was looking up a church to visit that Sunday. I said the words above as my sister-in-law turned on the overhead light where I was sitting.}

^{As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized the spiritual significance of the words. How many people don’t realize they are in the dark spiritually until the Light of the revelation of Jesus Christ is turned on in their hearts and spirits?}

^{My heart aches when I think of those that walk around battling life’s problems in their own strength, not realizing that there is One who wants to take all of their burdens and pain upon Himself.}

^{But, those who are living in darkness don’t realize they are in darkness! They don’t realize that there is a Light that is waiting to dispel the darkness in their lives. The Holy Spirit desires to turn on the Light of the revelation of Jesus Christ within our hearts and spirits.}

^{I pray that we can be the “bearers of Light” to all those that we come into contact with. May we allow Jesus to shine in and through us! May we be the Light Bearers to a world that needs THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!! May Your glory shine through us, Lord Jesus!}

^{“…for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead expose them…”. Ephesians 5:8-11. NASB1995}

^{*Do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Would you like Him to be? It isn’t hard….}

^{“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life”. JOHN 3:1618}

^{“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved” ACTS 16:31}

^{“If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved”. ROMANS 10:9-10}

^{“Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out…”. ACTS 3:19}

^{Sin has consequences – physical, emotional, and spiritual. Jesus’ death on the cross was the perfect and complete payment for our sin. The physical consequences may still need to be faced (jail, financial responsibility, etc). But, if we repent of our sin… turn away from it…and place our faith in Jesus…we will know that we will have life after we die – a resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!! HALLELUJAH!! Precious ones, now is THE DAY OF SALVATION! Are you ready to take that step?}
