The times that we are living in right now is so strange and dark, that we do not understand what is happening anymore. A lot of confusion, lies , and misunderstanding is going on everywhere. people are dying from different situations more than ever before. It's like there seems to be no end to all that is going on.

But there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and that light is beckoning to us, to seek the True Light in Christ that is shinning in every circumstances and wants to always shine in our lives, and the Light wants to shine into every situation and as the light shines, every darkness must submit to the light of Christ in our lives.

The Bible rightly says that Satan is the god of this world - 2 Corinthians 4:4

The Bible says that Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy - John 10:10

The Bible also says that He disguises himself as an angel of light - 2 Corinthians 11:14

The Bible says he is the father of all lies - John 8:44

The Bible says that Satan is like a roaring lion - 1 Peter 5:8

The Bible says that Satan is the accuser of the brethren - Revelation 12: 9 - 11

Reading all this and more tells us without any shadow of doubt that Satan causes a lot of distress to the people of God and to the world. Remember that when God created the world everything was good - Genesis 1:31 and because of who God is everything is still good, it does not matter what is going on at the moment. Our God has never failed and will not fail us now even in this end times.

We have a loving God and He knows what is going on in our lives as the Light that shines in the midst of darkness. Everyone of us will always go through a dark path in our lives, but let us trust that in that time of darkness, we have Jesus in us as the light of the world.

John 8: 12 records this truth

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

This promise is powerful and glorious. Jesus simply says as we follow Him who is the light of the world we will not walk in darkness because we have the light of life. This is the truth we need to trust in and abide in as well. In this chaotic world that the darkness is hoovering at such a high speed, we have Jesus in us and his angels around us at all times - Psalm 34:7.

Jesus lives in us

Galatians 2:20

I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

John 14:20

On that day [when that time comes] you will know for yourselves that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you.

Ephesians 3: 17 - 19

So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself].

Therefore, knowing that we have Christ himself living - (Dwelling ) in us as the light of the world, we can be assured that there is no room for darkness to live in us as well. The word of God rightly says to us that light and darkness cannot comprehend each other - 2 Corinthians 6:14 ; John 1:5 ;Luke 1:79 and Psalm 18:28.

Jesus is the Light of the world.

We have the true light in us and where there is light, darkness cannot defeat us as the children of light. The light of Christ it's not of this world. When Jesus appeared to me and we were walking together, we were in light and there was this love and peace around us. As we were together all I could see was this light that overshadowed everything in me and when I suddenly saw Satan in this deep darkness. I could see the difference between light and darkness.
