WALK IN CHRIST

John 12:46
“I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness.”

We hate brownouts. I still remember during the early 1990’s when we are subjected to brownouts for about 4-5 hours per day. In our area, we experience the brownouts at night. Therefore, when it happened, the whole area will become pitch black – really, really dark. Then, spot of lights will start to be seen as people started to light up their candles, or their emergency lights. The streets will again be illuminated by the flickering lights as people start coming out of their houses to breathe the fresh air while waiting for the power to come back again.

In our spiritual lives, we frequently experience brownouts. We experience this spiritual darkness. As such, we are totally blinded by our sins and totally ignored what the Lord wills for us to do. On one level, darkness is promoted by spiritual forces under the leadership of Satan. On a human level, darkness is not only the absence of knowledge, but a personal and active opposition to the rule and truth of God. Paul taught that those who do not believe in Christ are those whose minds have been blinded by Satan (II Corinthians 4:3-6). He lies and twists the Word of God to prevent people from coming to the knowledge of the truth (John 8:44).

Remove our spiritual blindness and seek to see the Lord again. Pray for God to enlighten us by the work of His Spirit, to give us a hunger for His Word and His ways. Seek that Spiritual enlightenment - Jesus is the light of the world, He is our God-given source of spiritual enlightenment. But we must believe in the light. Jesus said: "While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light" (John 12:36). Finally, we can live a life of faith in our God, who is greater than all and reaches out to all people to offer redemption. By the grace of God, through the blood of Jesus Christ and the love of the Spirit, you can come to the light, become a child of God, and walk in the light of the gospel.

Almighty Father, help us to see You. Heal us of our spiritual blindness and enlighten our path so we can forever obey Your will. We want to see You, Oh Lord, and live our lives in Your love forever. We believe in You for You are the light, taking out the brownout in our lives.

O God, let all the nations praise you!
