Turn the Light On
Today's message is from Mike Bickle.
Darkness is driven out of the human spirit by the light of the revelation of Jesus Christ through the Word of God. No darkness in the life of a sincere believer has the force to overpower His light.

Attempting to drive the darkness out of our hearts by ourselves is frustrating and futile, but when the person of Christ is unveiled to us, and His light enters our hearts, the darkness flees. We can’t empty out the darkness to make room for light. Rather, we allow the light to enter, and darkness is automatically overpowered. We wear ourselves out by trying to prepare and make way for more light by focusing on trying to drive out the darkness. Instead, we should indirectly attack the darkness in our lives by focusing on the release of more light.

Satan is not intimidated by the shouts and boasts of believers who do not have an intimate relationship with Jesus. He knows that as long as darkness reigns unchallenged and unconquered in many areas of their own lives, those believers pose no real threat to his kingdom. Jesus is the One whom Satan fears. If believers are not filled with the reality and knowledge of Christ, Satan knows it is only a matter of time until they will become victims, not victors.

On the other hand, Satan is troubled by believers who are undistracted from the purity and simplicity of devotion to Jesus. He flees before the sword of the Spirit when it is wielded by men and women who have a history of faithfulness and obedience through their intimacy with God.
