How God's Light Drives Out Fear and Fills You with Joy | Pastor James W. Greer | Journey Church

Jesus is fundamentally the Light and the Life, as depicted in scripture (Isaiah 9:2-3, NKJV; John 8:12, NKJV; John 1:1-5, NKJV). To truly experience this Light, it is essential to grasp His divine identity. He stands as the Light of the world, a profound gift from God, who loves us unconditionally. In His immense love, God sent His Son to illuminate our lives and guide us through darkness. It is His desire to manifest heaven on earth in our existence through Jesus (Matthew 6:10, NKJV).
 

There’s a powerful truth to embrace: anything dark, heavy, or sorrowful that enters our lives cannot endure when we bring forth God's light upon it (Matthew 26:37-39, NKJV). The essence of Light is that it banishes darkness; it simply cannot hold you captive (Matthew 28:1-7, TEV).
 

When we find ourselves navigating through dark times, we have the ability to shine this Light brightly (John 1:1-5, NKJV; Genesis 1:3, NKJV). The Word of God, which spoke the universe into existence, holds authority over all things. This Word is not merely a collection of phrases; it is a powerful force that commands all things to respond.

Consider this Kingdom Principle: speaking God’s Word in faith directly into the darkness will compel that darkness to flee (Matthew 17:20, NKJV). Reflect on your own challenges—what are the mountains you face? Is it fear that clouds your heart? Remember, God reminds us that "He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV).

Are you seeking peace? Jesus offers a profound promise of tranquility: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you” (John 14:27, NKJV; Philippians 4:19, KJV). Embrace this truth: being saved, leaning on Christ, and representing His love will bring you peace, regardless of the situation.

What about your children and grandchildren? The Bible reassures us in various verses (Psalm 37:25, NKJV; Proverbs 22:6, NKJV; Isaiah 54:13, NIV; Isaiah 26:3, NIV; Isaiah 49:25, AMP; Philippians 4:6-7, NKJV; Jeremiah 31:16-17, AMP) that they are under God’s watchful care, and that He seeks to establish their paths and futures.

In every moment of uncertainty, know that you are enveloped by God’s Light, which dispels shadows and brings forth hope. Trust in His Word, and let it guide you gently through life's challenges.
