Colossians 1:13 For
he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom
of the Son he loves,
Isaiah 60:2 See,
darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD
rises upon you and his glory appears over you.
Acts 26:18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
Acts 26:18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'
Ephesians 6:12 For
our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against
the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the
spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
God answers prayer and provide a miracle; He will show up
and do it very publicly to display His dominion. Many people will stop and
ask is the transformation/works real because they will use how things “used” to
be as their point of reference.
Take for example is Matthew, he was a man that everyone
hated to see or deal with because he USED to be a tax collector. He worked for
the enemy of his people. He collected taxes for Rome and Jews were under subjugation.
People would often ask how he could have forgotten who he was. Tax collectors
were little more than extortionist, Matthew was a gangster of his time; tax
collector were required to collect a certain amount but anything above and
beyond the tax was considered a commission.
Regardless of his past, Jesus called him…
We must be mindful to understand and respect the line that defines
someone’s past…..mercy and forgiveness are the gifts that define the boundary.
