Full Of God's Light
Today, let’s finish our study of God’s fullness in us. Our focus will be on the Light of God, which is the visibility of His Glory in this earth. Jesus told His disciples and us in John 17:22 that He was giving to us the same glory which the Father gave Him. Why? That we may be one with Jesus and the Father as They are One. What a wonderful gift! Jesus gave us the Glory of God the Father, which had been given to Him. The Glory of God has been given to you and me. Pause and think on that for a long time.
We must realize here that the Glory of God is expressed in honoring another. When we honor God, we are glorifying Him. We are releasing His Glory, His Presence, His Light. God is to be honored at all times. We are to respect Him. We are to reverence Him. At the same time, we are to understand that we can be intimately acquainted with Him because of Jesus. We can come into His Presence and be loved and adored by Him. He loves us as His children. He loves to do things for us. He loves to be with us. There are these two parts to God: He is our Heavenly Father and He is also God Almighty, the God of the universe, the Creator of Heaven and earth. What a privilege we have as His children.
In 1 John 1:5 we read that God is Light, and in Him is no darkness at all. The fullness of God in us is the fullness of Light in us, as well as Life and Love. In the first chapter of John, Jesus was described as the true Light Who came into the world to give understanding of God to every man in the world. In John 8:12; 9:5 and 12:46 Jesus says that He is the Light of the world. He has come as a Light into the world. We who follow Him will not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life. We will not continue to walk in darkness, not knowing Who God is and how He operates in His Kingdom.
Unfortunately, not everyone receives Him or welcomes Him. “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved (discovered). But He that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God” (done depending on God) John 3:19-21. (Emphasis added by author)
But we are children of God; we are children of the Light of God. He is our Light and salvation. In Matthew 5:14,16 Jesus told His disciples and us that we are the light of the world. We are to let our light shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father Who is in heaven.
The light of God, Jesus Himself manifest in the flesh on this earth, is in you and me today. God Himself indwells us. The fullness of God is in us today. As we ponder, think on, meditate Who is in us, we will be changed people. There is nothing that can stand before God in us. He is all love, all life, all light and glory and power. He is all in all. He is everything we will ever need, want or desire. He is our everything.
Today, we can dwell on His goodness in us. God Himself is dwelling in you today as you read this Pearls of Wisdom, if you have accepted Jesus as your Savior. You are a powerhouse, ready to be released in this earth with the dunamis power of God. His power is gentle but explosive---gentle for us as His children, explosive where the devil and his demonic forces are concerned, obliterating all that is in our pathway which is not of God. Believe God and His power of love, life and light in you and for you.
