Jesus Himself is called the Light of the World. John 1:4-5 tells us this: "In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
" Jesus was sent to this earth to be a light in the darkness. He is a light so bright and pure that darkness cannot and will never overtake it.
The light will shine on them. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
I've never seen a time of darkness and sin so rampant in our land today.
Truly we are living in a time that we need the TRUE LOVE of Jesus Christ to shine in our homes, in our lives, in our church and in our communities nationwide.
I am truly being led by the Holy Spirit to expose the plot of the enemy that is raging against us with full force of power simply because He knows the time is short and there are many things that are about to be unvailed in the spirit world both good and bad, and I am feeling a great stirring in my spirit to get back on track with the message of " The Last Call ".
Reaching a Harvest for Christ was the at the very heart of our mission when we birthed this ministry and I feel the tug of the Holy Spirit, to thrust our vision back into motion with great force.
Today I want to expose to you the lies of satan that have many of us bound in many aspects of life, but when we dare to believe the TRUTHS of God's Word, we will surely walk in abundant boldness against the lies of the enemy.
I want you to look with me today in the book of Colossians
chapter 1:
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have toward all the saints, 5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the [c]gospel, 6 which is come unto you; even as it is also in all the world bearing fruit and increasing, as it doth in you also, since the day ye heard and knew the grace of God in truth; 7 even as ye learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow-servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ on [d]our behalf, 8 who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
Selah!!!
First I want you to look at the first thing Paul pointed out when He wrote this letter; He commended the new believers for demonstrating these 4 attributes of the Holy Spirit:
1. The Power of God active in the church and in their lives.
2. The Wisdom of God in active demonstration among the church and all believers.
3. The Goodness of God being taught and demonstrated by the church.
4. The Unselfish Love of Christ being shown to believers and unbelievers alike, as a testament of the True Love shown by Christ in His selfless sacrifice to bring grace to them all. Whom they recieived in truth and demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit which was activating all of these characteristics in the lives of the believers in that day.
Colossians 1 9 - 13
9 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray and make request for you, that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 to walk worthily of the Lord [e]unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing [f]in the knowledge of God; 11 [g]strengthened [h]with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all [i]patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks unto the Father, who made [j]us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; 13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love;
Selah!!!
Now in verse 9-13 we see that Paul is admonishing the church to walk with a new spiritual insight as to the true purpose for them is revealed and He prayed that their understanding would be open to see with spiritual eyes that would lead them to bear much fruit, walking in all strength and power that Christ has given them through the power of the Spirit, and to activate through His glorious might all patience, endurance and joy; and praise unto God who through the restoring power of the cross, has qualified us to share in His glorious inheritance, and delivered us out of the power of darkness and translated us in to kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Now this is a promise to all of God's children who choose to walk in the light. Now I want you to notice one great mystery revealed in this scripture...
Christ has already delivered you from all of the power of the enemy, we as children of God no longer have to walk in darkness for we have been translated into the kingdom of Jesus Christ who through the power of the Holy Spirit has opened up to us this mystery, that if we can truly believe and take hold of in the church, the TRUE body of Christ, we can walk in complete victory over all of the power of the enemy!!!
The demons and darkness of this world no longer have power over us!!!
All satan can do is send us lies and false delusions and seduce us into believing that Jesus has forsaken us....but nothing could be farther from the truth, in fact Christ has already empowered us to walk in great power and victory.
It's not what Christ is going to do !!! It is what He already did for you and me if we can believe it and walk in it!!!
The light of Jesus will not only overcome the darkness of this present world but bring us into the brightness of a perfect one. Even after our own lives pass away. Even after the world as we know it passes away. We’ve heard that things sometimes get worse before they get better.
They have and they will, but we can and will still be the light of Jesus to this dark and dying world.
The Incomparable Christ
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins: 15 who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him; 17 and he is before all things, and in him all things [k]consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; [l]that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 [m]For it was the good pleasure of the Father that in him should all the fulness dwell; 20 and through him to reconcile all things [n]unto [o]himself, having made peace through the blood of his cross; through him, I say, whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens. 21 And you, being in time past alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil works, 22 yet now [p]hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him: 23 if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the [q]gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven; whereof I Paul was made a minister.
John 8
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John
.7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Selah!!!
Jesus has made a way for us to walk in freedom from all fear and doubt, to walk as overcomers in this world, right now even among much sin, hatred, and darkness that is looming in this world, we are called to be salt and light.
The freedom of the redeemed, the light of the world and the hope of His Glory.
I believe it is time for " The Church ", The TRUE body of CHRIST to stand in its rightful place.
We have allowed the enemy to steel all of the POWER and GLORY that Christ died to reveal in us....we have allowed the sins and darkness of this world to infiltrate our heart and to steel our confidence in all that God has given us through the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
It is not God's will for His children to walk in defeat, it is not His will for us to walk in the bondages of Satan, No !!! IT IS NOT!!!
But we have willingly been lead by our fleshly desires into a place of weakness and lack of power, simply because we desire the sins and darkness of this world more than we desire to walk in the promises of God.
It should not be so!!!
Satan has deceived you my brother and my sister!!!
He has tried to make us believe that his lie is greater than the promise written right here in this scripture...but who's report shall we believe today?
Colossians24 - 29
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church; 25 whereof I was made a minister, according to the [r]dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfil the word of God, 26 even the mystery which hath been hid [s]for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints, 27 to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ; 29 whereunto I labor also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me [t]mightily.
I admonish you today to WAKE UP!!! To the call of Jesus Christ today!!!
Let us once again as His true church break free from the lies and bondages of the enemy....
Did you know that the only thing that is keeping you bound in those chains of whatever darkness you face in your life is simply the lie of satan???
For Jesus has already paid the price for you to be free from all sin and darkness. All you have to do is accept this word today, these are not my words, but they are the true and engrafted word of God.
Just believe and receive!!!
It is God's will for you to rise up out of the shadow of circumstances that are weighing you down today.
The devil nor any of His demons have power over you if you are washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, and filled with the precious power of the Holy Ghost, you have been given a great inheritance through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to become sons and daughters of God, and if you can thrust your faith to believe this word today Jesus is calling you back to Him....
Come Running, Come Running, Come Running back to Him...
In Him is all freedom, strength, peace and comfort you will ever need....He has already given you the power to overcome.
Let us make up our mind today, to seek more than ever to walk in all of the power and might of the Holy Spirit, Let us hunger for the demonstration of all of the attributes to Christ to come alive in us and in His church as never before.
Jesus is truly sending out a " Last Call " to His church....To every sinner and to the world.
Let us wake up and shake ourselves, Let us once again stand on the TRUTHS of His powerful Word and activate it in our lives.
It will bring freedom and forgiveness, love and light.
It will set us free and give us the power to overcome all of the lies of the enemy and the boldness we shall need to stand in these last days.
Are you tired of being held in the bondage by the lies of the enemy???
Then Be set Free by the power of believing and activating God's promises for you today.....
The promises of God's word will never lose the power to set us free if only we can BELIEVE them and overcome the FEAR that holds us back from daily walking in the promises given right here in His word.
