Thanks Jean & Henk for your comments. The same creative power contained in Gods word, when He said: “Let there be light” is still contained within the words that He speaks into out lives and situations. And for you Henk, I sense Him saying: ” Let there be deliverance, breakthrough” God delights in revealing Himself in humanly impossible situations – He loves being a deliverer.

I am experiencing a particular time of crisis (is that word appropriate?)and was so blessed by this article, Andre, and also by the subsequent comments.I was then led to 1 John 4:17-18.The revelation that God’s love for us is complete and that “there is no fear in love; but perfect (complete) love casteth out fear” made me realise again how invinsible we are in Christ. Free from fear and yes Jean, peace that passeth all understanding!WOW!!!I CAN do all things through Christ.

Andre, the key word in your writing (last paragraph)is ‘REALise’. ‘Reading’ doesn’t do anything except impart information (which is obviously also most important and a precursor to ‘REALising’.) ‘REALisation’ comes from dwelling in His presence, contemplating His Word constantly. Thus it becomes REAL in our awareness and then in our experience as PEACE ‘My peace, the peace that passeth human understanding.’ THAT’S what dissipates worry and fear!

Thanks Dawie for such an accurate encouragement. Shadows & substance ….. For many their problems seem to be more than shadows – the darkness that covers seems so real … but there is a greater reality! We don’t deny the reality of darkness/problems/danger, but we do deny it the right to rule our lives. We have a different Lord – One who shines in the midst of darkness – the One of whom it is written “The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn’t put it out.” John 1

I was reading Is 60 last night with some friends – Arise and shine for your light has come… in the midst of the darkness covering the earth! and little bit later on: “The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you by night; but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun shall no more go down, nor your moon withdraw itself; for the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended.”
He hedges us in behind and before… in our relationship with Him we discover a place of being hidden in Him and filled with such light and life that darkness is exposed for what it is: absence of the Light we carry! Darkness has no substance – it holds no threat and the only voice it has is what is given to it. It seeks to intimidate by its “virtue” of absence and it seeks a voice. I found that the word “place” in “Give the enemy no place” means platform. Didn’t Jesus strip him naked, disarmed and defeated! How can one give any value to nothing? We will stand in wonder oneday at how he managed to get both performers and an audience with nothing! The righteous are as bold as lion – they have the substance to be!
