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.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization? So God can get the...

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
