Let Your Light Shine

Summary: Let your light shine
16) So many of us are scared to use the light that is inside
We have allowed Satan to trick us into believing that we are not good enough to spread the word of God
One of his best tactics is, he will convince you that you do not know enough about the Bible
We are not smart enough, we are not elegant enough when we speak
God doesn’t care about any of that, he simply wants us to tell other people about him
Spread the word, sling the seed, scream from the roof tops
Truth be told, people need to see our light from far away
We honestly need to be like a light house, light so bright that it can be seen from a long distance
The official range is 24 nautical miles (6,080 feet)
Tell me that isn’t a bright light
That is exactly how we need to be
Light so bright, they have to squint their eyes when you enter the room
We need to let the light lead us at all times
Never walk out of the light but always walk in the light
Light always sets free what the darkness has imprisoned
Light will expose darkness every single time
The darker the room, the more the light will expose
We tend to hide in darkness b/c we are hiding something or ashamed of something
Let me tell you, if this is you today, get rid of whatever that may be
It is honestly very simple, take it to God and ask for help
Don’t let something hinder your light
Don’t let Satan blow it out, I’m going to let it shine
Don’t ever hide it under a vessel, or under your bed
If your light costs you your job, God has another one lined up for you
If your light costs you a friendship, it wasn’t a friendship to begin with
If it costs you money, God will give it right back to you
I am not asking you to trust me on this, I am telling you to trust God on this
Put your faith in him, not this world
Let God be God - he wants to carry your burdens, he wants to spend time with you, he wants you
17) Anything hidden in your life? It will be eventually be revealed
You can’t hide it, you can’t conceal it
It will be found out
It will be brought out into the open
It is just like a lie
You can hide it for so long, but eventually, it will be exposed
18) Listen carefully
Be careful how you listen and who you listen to
Satan quoted scripture to Jesus
The scribes tested Jesus and quoted scripture to him
Just saying, there are others than God who talks to us
We need to make sure we are listening to God’s voice
Not some counterfeit
Whoever does this properly, will be given more
The ones who don’t will not be given anything,
Matter of fact, whatever you think that you got will be taken from them
You either live in light or you live in darkness
Where are you sitting at today
Preach the word, sling the seed - Live for God and not yourself
We all have a moral compass
If you have to ask yourself is this the right thing to do, it is more than likely not the right thing to do
How do you determine who is talking to you
Improve your relationship with God
My wife is the closest person to me on this earth, I know her and she knows me
If I speak to her on the phone, w/o even seeing her face, I know that I am talking with her
