Light That Brings Life

Genesis 1:1

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was formless and void and darkness was over the face of the deep and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light" and there was light. God was that the light was good' and He separated the light from the darkness.

In the beginning we were all spiritually formless and void and the Spirit of God moved over the surface. Yet, God said, "Let there be light" and separate the light from the darkness and saw that it was good.

Have you noticed that most Christians today like there remains "darkness over the surface of the deep"? When we allow the Spirit to only "move over the surface" we can only live ordinary lives. We aren't much different from =non-Christians and, therefore, are very poor witnesses for our God.

God calls out to His church, "Let there be light".

Open up your heart, the very deepest recesses, to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to separate the light from the darkness that is hidden there.

Love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control are what the Holy Spirit releases when He brings the true light. Measure yourself against this list of fruit of the Hly Spirit as described in Galatians chapter 5 and it will be a indication to you of any hidden heart issues still restricted to the Holy Spirit's fire.

The light is good! Isn't it time you agreed with God?
