Put Out Darkness

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”

John 1:5 (NIV)

1. YOU DON’T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH DARKNESS, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO PUT IT OUT.

“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.”

1 John 4:4 (NKJ)

2. THE LIGHT IN YOU IS GREATER THAN THE DARKNESS AROUND YOU.

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house."

Matthew 5:14-15 (NKJV)

3. DON’T DIM WHAT GOD DELIVERED.

“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”

Matthew 5:16 (NKJV)

“And they overcame and conquered him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony...”

Revelation 12:11 (AMP)
