6 For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.
Dear Ones: Light Shining in our Hearts! We are called out of the darkness to walk as children of the Light. The great treasure of His life deposited in our being at the new birth is the power and the glory of God. As we walk in this light, we have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of the Son continually cleanses us.
WOW! All Christians are carriers of this great Power. But the ones who press in to an intimate relationship with Him are able to do the greater works that He spoke of in John 14. Spiritual maturity brings greater responsibility and ability to do the works of power in His name. It may seem like the spread of darkness, corruption, and chaos cannot be stopped. But stop and think on Who dwells in you. Realize that you are able to release His light and power in every situation you find yourself in. His Light is shining in your heart even now.
May the truth that His Light is shining in our hearts lift you above all of the attacks of darkness that confront you today. Declare the power of this truth out loud over all your circumstances that face you, your family, and your nation. You are an overcomer and are a carrier of His great Power. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
