THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE OF LIGHT

Text: Romans 1:20, John 1:1-10

What is light? It is the natural agent that stimulates sight and makes things visible.
Light is illumination, brightness, lusture, a glow, a dazzle.
Every light has something that generates it, every light has something that shines it forth, an agent that makes it manifest.
Examples: lamps and light bulbs shine light that is electronically powered. 
Rainbows are arranged by God
The sun shines forth light that is used for solar energy.
So lamps, light bulbs and the sun are forms of light sources that are useful to us, as light is always useful. 
As light is useful physically, it is useful spiritually. 
Romans 1:20
Light has spiritual significance.
Jesus identified with light. 
In fact Jesus called himself the Light.

In the spirit realm there are different lights. 
John 1:9
But Jesus is THE LIGHT, the main light.
The spiritual light we are talking about gives life. 
John 1:4
God's Word is light. 
John 1:4-5
If there is a true light, then there are false lights. 
2 Corinthians 11:4
John 8:12- Jesus is the true light, the light of God
The light that was Jesus when He walked this earth was powered by THE HOLY SPIRIT!
The Holy Spirit is the light at work in Jesus.
The Holy Spirit is the light at work in God's Word. 
2 Corinthians 3:6
The Holy Spirit was the light at work in God's disciples. 
Acts 1:5, Acts 2:1-4
The Holy Spirit is the light at work in christian believers. 
Matthew 5:14, Acts 1:8
Jesus didn't have the fullness of God's light until the Holy Spirit had come. 
Then He could boldly proclaim John 8:12-that He is the light of the world.
The kingdom we are from is a kingdom of light.
 It is called the Kingdom of God's dear son. 
Colossians 1:13

The path of the believer is made clear by light, Proverbs 4:18, and everything that has to do with direction, paths, and movement in the scriptures and in God's Kingdom is a work of the Holy Spirit. 
Genesis 1:2, John 8:14
So when we say The Light Of Jesus Christ Assembly, we are simply saying ASSEMBLY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, we are saying we are a church body with the Holy Spirit at work in us.
Light in scripture symbolizes hope, a future, a good path, divinity, God's Kingdom, the Holy Spirit and the Word.

As a church what will the Holy Spirit do for us?
1) THE SUPERNATURAL- LUKE 1:35
2) PURITY- HEBREWS 9:1
3) DIVINE DIRECTION- LUKE 4:1
4) DIVINE TEACHING- ISAIAH 11:2,3
5) SPEAKING GOD'S WORD- JOHN 3:34
6) DIVINE INSTRUCTIONS-JOHN 3:34
7) POWER OVER DEVILS- MATTHEW 12:28
8) DIVINE HEALTH- ROMANS 8:11
9) EMPOWERMENT- ZECHARIAH 4:6

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
