This Little Light of Mine

    In this world, there is darkness because Satan still resides here, awaiting His punishment. There is trouble and pain in this world because of him. Sometimes those things are distracting to us. We see the darkness and are overwhelmed with how seemingly far-reaching it is. But today I want to remind you, that Jesus has already won.

    There is no darkness that the light cannot reach. There is nothing too big for our God. Stop looking at the circumstances and start looking to Jesus! He has made us to be the light of the world. We are the ones who carry His presence and are casting out darkness in all the ends of the earth. Carry that name with confidence!

    Remember today not to fear the circumstances and darkness you see, but to have confidence in the victor that you know-- Jesus Christ. He has conquered the grave, He has overcome the world, and He has beaten this enemy! Let His light shine through you into the world and cast out the darkness starting today.

John 8:12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (ESV)

 John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (ESV)

1 John 1:7 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. (ESV)

 Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (ESV)

Ephesians 5:8 For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (ESV)

Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. (ESV)

1 John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (ESV)

Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (ESV)

He Time

     We have now gone over me time and we time, so today I want to address He time. It's a pretty simple concept-- that we have to spend time with Jesus to grow our faith. Just like anything else we want to get better at, you have to spend time doing it. In the case of Christianity, we are changed into the image of Jesus as we spend time with Him. 2 Corinthians 3:18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. (ESV)     My message is as simple as this-- make sure that you are setting time aside for Christ. You will never change if you don't continually immerse yourself into His presence. We need to be spending time in His word so we know His promises and guidelines for our life, in prayer to speak to Him for individual direction in our circumstances, and worshipping Him for His goodness.     Do not le...

Think Twice

    When the Holy Spirit was sent to us on earth, it made Jesus readily available to all. Now He lives in us, not among us. When you are a born again Christian, you now have Jesus dwelling inside you. How does that affect your daily life? Do you realize that you are a reflection of the one you carry with you everywhere you go?    Sadly, that doesn't mean much to a lot of Christians. Instead of using Jesus as an instrument of love, hope, and salvation, they use His name as a weapon. They spend their time boycotting instead of praying for Jesus to change hearts. Telling others that the God who IS love, hates them. Letting others know that they will go to hell for their decisions, instead of lighting the way to heaven. Let me be clear: this is wrong! No one wants to believe in a hateful, unforgiving God. I certainly don't. That's why I follow Jesus.     Even if you aren't the one openly boycotting on street corners, be careful of the image of God you are g...

The Path to Life

     Through this most recent season in life, God has been teaching me what it truly means to follow His plans for my life. Over the last year or so,  I have had to make some of the most ''adult" decisions in my life so far. Through that process, I have had to rely heavily on faith and the leading of the Holy Spirit to discern which is the right way to go. It has been a challenge for me, a planner to the core, to put my trust fully in God's plans and leading even when I am unable to see what's ahead and I am glad to say I have come out having learned a few things.      The main takeaway I would like to share is this: the right way is not the easiest way . That probably sounds very obvious if you have spent any time in church, but I never thought about that principle carrying over into walking out God's plans for my life. You see, there have been decisions that I have made over the last year that I was certain were what God was leading me to do. An...
