WE ARE LIGHT CARRIERS!

Genesis 1:2-3 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep…Then God said, “Let there be light, and there was light….”

I’m feeling very virtuous as yesterday I finished washing and ironing my lounge curtains and rehung them which doesn’t happen very often!🤣 As I opened the curtains, and the light poured in through the windows, today’s verse popped in my head and I said “Let there be light and there was light.” Then I thought I could go a bit further and said “Lord let there be Your Light in my life, let it light up my dark places, let it light up the path in front of me so I keep on the right road and let it shine in, just like the light comes in my windows.”

When God saw the darkness on the face of the earth He didn’t say, “Oh it’s so dark out there!” No, instead He spoke by faith and said, “Let there be light.” The original says God said, “Light Be!” and light was! And it came in at the speed of 186,000 miles per second!

How often we do the opposite, and speak what we already ‘see’! We say, “Oh the world is getting darker, the sickness is getting worse, my children are this or that! Oh my job is terrible!” Ephesians 5:1 tells us to be imitators of God as dear children, so instead we should be doing what He does and saying what He says, don’t you think?🙂

In the ‘light’ of that let’s say, “Lord let Your Light flow into our dark situations. Light Be! Light Come! Let the light of Your healing flow into this sickness and dispel it. Let the Light of Your word “By Jesus’ stripes we are healed”(1 Peter 2:24) flow into all the cells of my body.” 

If our children are off course, speak the light of Isaiah 54:13 by faith, “All my children shall be taught by the Lord, And great shall be the peace of my children. Lord let that light flow into our childrens’ lives and transform them.” 

In other words we need to speak God’s Word over our situations and let its light shine in to them to dispel the darkness. The entrance of Your words gives light! (Psalm 119:130) And when it’s spoken in faith, it will do what God says it will do, we will have what it says we can have, and we will be what God says we can be. Hallelujah!

Jesus said we are the Light of the World (Matthew 5:14) We are light carriers! Let’s speak “Let there be light. Light Be!” into every dark place we see in our lives. We can call it forth by faith. 

So next time we’re tempted to say something negative or doom and gloom over our families or situations let’s just stop for a minute. Instead let’s imitate our Father in Heaven and consistently speak light, healing and life by faith in a mighty God and see what God will do.😊Amen.
