Day 22

You as a child of GOD hold authority over darkness..!
Wherever there’s a shadow, there has to be a light..
The key is to turn your back on the shadow & look at the light, Jesus Christ..
You can then expel the darkness in His presence & your action..
We know the response of Peter and Judas to their shadow selves (dark selves). Both had failed. Both had let the darkness in them win. Judas was shamed by the darkness and took his life. But Peter turned his back on the shadow, faced the light of Jesus, and was made whole..
Christ’s glow can illuminate even the darkest shadows of our lives..
Perhaps you can’t hear His saving voice over the barriers you’re hiding under today, but you can read His saving voice calling out to you in His Word..
“I am the Light of the world. So if you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, for living light will flood your path.” (John 8:12)
Take those words in, step out of the darkness and walk into the light..
Far from God threatening to crush you for what you’ve tried to keep hidden, God invites you to confess the skeletons in your closet so that He might bury them in the grave for good..
The good news the Scriptures give us is that all the embrace, love, acceptance, and grace we desperately long for is freely given in Jesus Christ..
“You yourselves used to be in the darkness, but since you have become the Lord’s people, you are in the light. So you must live like people who belong to the light,….” (Ephesians 5:8‬)
