When the Light Bulb Comes on The Kingdom Key of Light & Darkness

READ | I John 1:1-10 “I AM the light of the world: whoever follows me will not walk in

darkness but will have the light of life (John 8:12).”

Darkness is associated with ignorance, not knowing. People who desire to be informed often say, “do not keep me in the dark.” When people gain an understanding, it is symbolized by the light bulb coming on over their heads. We do not have to live in darkness, we can be still and know. “Be still and know that I AM God (Psalm 46:10).”

Knowledge is information, data, and facts. We have all knowledge inside of us because God is inside of us. Wisdom is the implementation of the information that we have received. We have all wisdom inside of us because God is inside of us. Understanding is the inspiration to share the wisdom that we have received with others. We have all understanding inside of us because God is inside us. We can access this internal knowledge, wisdom, and understanding by just taking a moment to breathe and listen to the still small voice within us (I Kings 19:12).”

“The anointing which you have received from God abides in you,

and you really have no need for any person to teach you anything.

The same anointing teaches you all things, and is the truth...(I John

2:27).” We often took for teachers to impart information; their real

role is to pull out the information that is already within us. We enroll

in classes so we can learn things that we do not know. The genuine

purpose of a classroom, whether physical or virtual, is to create an

environment of information sharing and a schedule for us to be

disciplined and accountable about our studies.

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
