Shine
My child Let My light shine through you today. People all around you are living in darkness, but My light dispels darkness. Shine for Me today.
Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may glorify your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
You Belong To Me
My child, I have chosen you to be in My family. I searched you out and adopted you. You belong to Me. You are part of a royal line, a Holy Nation, so that you may proclaim My excellencies. I called you out of darkness into My marvelous light. Live in My light. Be that beacon of hope and light to those who are still in darkness. Let Me shine brightly through you today.
Psalm 139 1 Peter 2:9
Domain of Darkness
What is this “domain of darkness” the Bible talks about? Is this darkness merely sin, or should it also be thought of as a state of lawlessness? Actually, sin and lawlessness are one and the same(1 John 3:4).
It’s helpful to see that sin, by its very nature, is a shunning of God’s law. The citizens of the kingdom of darkness are those who rebelliously make sin the practice of their life. They spurn what they know of God, willfully choosing the opposite of His revealed law—or at least carefully skirting it.
They live in rebellion against God. And yes, without Christ, even those who are considered to be good people fall into this category.
Cease Striving

My child, I am in the midst of you. You will not be moved. I will help you when the morning dawns. Cease striving and know that I am God. Keep your eyes open and watch what I am doing. I make your way straight. I bring you out of darkness and into the Light. Look to Me. Worship Me. Glorify Me. I am victorious and I win this battle.
Psalm 46:5 & 10
I Came For You
My child, I came so that you would have an abundant life. I came to deliver you out of darkness and bring you into the kingdom of My Beloved Son. I came so that you would have an inheritance for eternity. I came because I love you. Rest in the fact that I came for you.
John 10:10 Colossians 1:13 Hebrews 9:15
Hidden Wealth of Secret Places
My child, I have you. I will open doors before you. I will go before you and make the rough places smooth. I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden wealth of secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name. You are My chosen one. Believe Me today.
Isaiah 45: 2-5
Do Your Job
My child, only I can change the heart. Only I can speak to the soul. You can pray, but I will turn the light on where there is darkness. You do your job and pray. I am doing Mine. I am working even when you don’t see results. Keep praying and keep believing. Trust Me to work this all out for good.
The Good News: Part 3
God the Father has rescued me from the domain of darkness and transferred me to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:13-14). I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me (Galatians 2:20).
My old self was crucified with Him so that my body of sin might be done away with, so that I would no longer be a slave to sin (Romans 6:6). I have died and I am freed from sin by being released from the law to which I was bound (Romans 7:4-6). Since Christ is in me, though my body is dead because of sin, yet my spirit is alive because of righteousness (Romans 8:10).
