The Word In Our Hearts
For God, who commanded the light to shine out
of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the
light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the
face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).
The Lord Jesus is the Light of the world. He’s
the Light that shines in darkness, and the Bible
says the darkness comprehends it not (John 1:5). This
same Light, according to our opening verse, has shined
in our hearts, to give us light of the knowledge of the
glory of God. What does this mean?
The Word of God is light (Psalm 119:105); that
light is in our hearts. That means no more darkness, no
more confusion, and no more uncertainties in your life.
There’s direction and purpose for your life, because
you have the light of life: “…I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but
shall have the light of life” (John 8:12).
The eyes of your understanding have been flooded
with light, so that you can know and understand the
hope to which God has called you, and grasp the
immensity of His glorious inheritance for you. Because
the Word was born, and now lives in your heart, you
can boldly declare that the life of God is in you; the
strength of God is in you; you’re a success and a victor
forever.
Apart from being light, the Word is also truth: “…
thy word is truth” (John 17:17). The truth lives in you.
Oh, such glorious news! The truth is His light; the truth
is His Word, and you’re walking in the truth. The truth
is that you’re of God, and have overcome Satan, the
world, and its systems. Greater is He that’s in you than
he that’s in the world.
The truth is that you’ve arrived in the place called
“Christ”, where sickness, disease and infirmity have lost
their grip on you. Because you’re one with the Word,
you’ve overcome diabetes; you’ve overcome heart
trouble, chest pain, cancer, etc. No tumour; no fibroid;
nothing of darkness can thrive in your body anymore,
because your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost;
He lives in every fibre of your being. Hallelujah! This
is part of the joy we celebrate at Christmas—the Word
in our hearts, and its power in our lives!
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of your Son,
Jesus. He lives in me in His fullness, and in Him I live, move
and have my being. No challenge is big enough to weigh me down
because I’m born of God and complete in Christ. I’m alive
to God—spirit, soul, and body.
There’re no impossibilities with me, for Christ is my sufficiency.
Hallelujah!
