In the Gospel of John, in chapter three, we find that God has already done everything for any person to step into His light and be restored into Life; to be restored into the relationship with God we were created for. We also find that people refuse to accept the love and goodness of God’s grace because they fear the exposure of the truth that they actually love the darkness. It has become an addiction. Darkness promises wholeness but only bores deeper holes, increasing emptiness in the human soul.

The extremely sad thing is that God has already seen the full extent of damage done to human living by our love of darkness. It’s exposure for what it is terrifies us, but God, having already seem it completely wants us to know that is why Jesus came the first time: because we cannot rescue ourselves from our addiction to darkness.

God loved the world (that’s all people-groups; every individual) so much that He gave His one and only Son, to the end that ALL who would believe in Him would have everlasting life. God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved by Him.

God has offered to each one the privilege of repentance, of coming clean, entering into His penetrating light so that we can see that God has already paid the price to redeem and rescue us. The light shows clearly that we have always needed outside help. We have always needed a Savior, and He came once to die our death and rise again to give us a new life and He is coming again.

True wisdom bears the strong mark of humility. Come today, out of the darkness that will never truly satisfy the hunger that rages in you. You need a Savior; I need a savior. It is the truest fact for all humanity. God has already done what we can never do. Come into His light. Believe and receive.

 HIS POWER...HIS PROMISE Helping people walk in the Spirit the devotional below is seminal! The devotion below is today from Oswald Chambers. I makes me think of some I have known that have assumed that the Lord doesn’t want them empowered by the Holy Spirit or that He won’t manifest Himself in them because they have reasoned otherwise. Given ministry opportunities to have the Holy Spirit confirm the Word of God with demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power, they rely on how they feel, their experience thus far and not on the reality that the will of God in mission and ministry is either done in the Holy Spirit’s Power or not at all. Our capacity to do what Jesus does has nothing to do with our imagined capacity, but upon the indwelling power of God through is. Now to Him who is able to do far above and beyond what we could ever imagine or think, by His power at work in us now, to Him be glory…   Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus told the parable of the bags of gold as a warning ...

 HE IS RISEN! IT IS FINISHED! After the Israelites had passed through the Red Sea by God opening the way for them to be saved, the whole of Pharoah's army, his horsemen and chariots pursued God's people into the opened way. Once they were all in, the waters flowed back into their place with suddenness and fury. Not one of the enemies survived. All perished in those waters. When Jesus Christ hung on the cross, all that sin contained, the full measure of the rebellion of mankind for all time, all the wickedness that was ever in human hearts were absorbed into the Lamb of God as He died our death, received our just judgement from God for all time, taking all that sin and death contained. In Him, sin and death died once and for all. They were overwhelmed, covered and drowned in the sea of His precious blood, poured out for the sin of the whole world. Not one enemy remained alive, all were stripped of their power to hold us in slavery to sin any longer. All their weapons were confis...

 CONVICTION When the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, He doesn't ask us to make it right. We can never add to what Jesus Christ has already done on the cross to deal with the totality of our sin. The Holy Spirit asks us to accept the truth, turn from sin and turn to the Lord. Then He will make it right. Remember Who our faith depends on from start to finish, that salvation is of the Lord alone. Laying aside every hindering weight and the sin that so easily trips us up (different for everyone), we are to run the race He has given us to run with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus. He is the One upon Whom our faith depends on from start to finish. He will never run out of eyesight any more that a good shepherd would go ahead of the sheep he was leading where they couldn't see to follow. Hebrews 12:1-2 "Surrounded then as we are by a great cloud of witness to the life of faith, let us strip off everything that hinders us, as well as the sin which dogs our feet, and let us r...
