You Light Up My Life

  • When you were a child, were you ever scared of the dark?
  • What did you do to help bring peace in the darkness?
  • Check for monsters under your bed? Pray? Sing, perhaps?
  • Did you ever brighten the room with this song?
  • This little light of mine
  • I’m gonna let it shine.
  • This little light of mine
  • I’m gonna let it shine.
  • This little light of mine
  • I’m gonna let it shine;
  • Let it shine,
  • Let it shine,
  • Let it shine.
  • Have you ever wondered about the significance that tiny little tune [those words] could have on you and your profound impact on the world?

“And God said, ‘Let there be light’: and there was light.” Genesis 1:3 (KJV)

  • “Let there be light.”
  • Four simple words.
  • Let. There. Be. Light.
  • The first four words recorded to have ever been spoken.
  • Possibly the greatest four words ever spoken.
  • Dare I say – the most powerful words ever spoken.
  • The first four words of creation.
  • Without these four words, we would not exist.
  • Think about that for a minute.
  • What exactly is light?
  • Light is the emission of energy [the ability to do work; it is how things change & move] detectable by the human eye.
  • God is Light.

“This is the life-giving message we heard him share and it’s still ringing in our ears. We now repeat his words to you: God is pure light. You will never find even a trace of darkness in him. If we claim that we share life with him, but keep walking in the realm of darkness, we’re fooling ourselves and not living the truth. But if we keep living in the pure light that surrounds him, we share unbroken fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son, continually cleanses us from all sin.” -I John 1:5-7 (TPT)

  • God established himself as the Word of Life.
  • The Word of Life manifested in order to be seen = LIGHT!
  • John 1:1 (KJV) says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
  • Light was formed out of darkness by the Word of Life – the SPOKEN WORD!
  • Speak Life.
  • Speaking Life will bring Light into the darkness.
  • Life is Light to live by.
  • “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
  • And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not [could not diminish].
  • There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
  • The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
  • He [John] was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness [be a messenger] of the Light.
  • That was the true Light, which lighteth [shines upon] every man that cometh into the world.
  • He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
  • He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
  • But as many as received him, to them gave he power [authority] to become the sons [children] of God, even to them that believe on his name.
  • Which were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
  • And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
    • -John 1:4-14 (KJV)

Walk in the Light. The Word is a lamp unto our feet and a Light unto our path.

“Truth’s shining light guides me in my choices and decisisions; the revelation of your word makes my pathway clear.” Psalms 119:105 (TPT)

Everything the Light touches is our Kingdom. Let YOUR light shine!!!
