If we have been transplanted into the kingdom of light, there is no room amongst us for darkness. You cannot have both. What happens to you walk into a dark room and turn on the light?
Matthew 5:16
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
How are you portraying God's light in your life today? I'd love to know!

You are a NEW creation
This may be a bit jumbled, but it's by far my most powerful revelation!
Each person has three parts, spirit (the "real" you), soul (mind, will, and emotions), and body.
Everything in existence is either good or evil, light or dark. There is no middle ground and no in-between.
When you are born, you are born into sin, into darkness, and into Satan's Kingdom (John 12:31, Ephesians 2:1-2, Revelation 12:7-11).
When you are born again, your spirit is reborn into God's kingdom. Through Jesus, you are seated at the right hand of the Most High. You have inherited God's nature, His splendor. There is no sin in heaven, only light.
John 10:10 says that God came to give us life, and life abundantly, and that the enemy came to seek, kill, and destroy. The good news is that God's kingdom and Satan's kingdom are different locations! Once again, there is no middle ground. If you are in the kingdom of light, darkness cannot touch you. They cannot co-mingle.
-- We are IN the world, not OF the world.
-- We are to reign (yes, reign!) on Earth for the name of Jesus.
-- We are to be the light in the midst of darkness. To administer the blessing to others.
-- When you understand that every affliction is from the enemy and that your spirit is untouchable, your physical body and/or circumstances will be untouchable.
Here are some of my references, in no particular order:
Revelation 5:9-10
Romans 8:28
2 Corinthians 5:17
John 3:3
Colossians 1:13

Walking on water
25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. 28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
The story of Peter walking on the water is filled with so much of God's goodness! Here's what God has been revealing to me about this miraculous situation.
First and foremost.. Truly, NOTHING is impossible with God on your side. Science will tell you that walking on water can never be done, but it's important to remember that God is above ALL things. Remember, we are in this world, but not of this world. What the world says is impossible, is possible with the living God!
As Peter kept His eyes and focus on Jesus, he was able to walk on the water. As soon as he took his eyes off of Jesus and looked at the storm, he began to sink. When he saw that the wind was mighty, he became afraid. He was living by sight, and not by faith.1 In this story, the storm is representing the enemy. Satan will try everything he can to get you to take your eyes off of Jesus, because he knows that He is our source of power.2 If he can keep your eyes on the flesh, on the problems in your lives, then he can keep you from reigning on earth in Jesus' mighty name.3 It's important to note that in the story of Peter, the storm was irrelevant! Even if there was no wind, and the water was perfectly calm, Peter's walking on the water would still be a miracle. The 'boisterous' wind changed nothing about the situation, except that it distracted Peter from trusting Jesus. In your lives, as Sons of the Most High God, the storms in your life are irrelevant! Turn your eyes to Jesus and trust completely in Him, and the defeated enemy will flee.4
As Peter started sinking, he called out for Jesus to save him. "Immediately" Jesus stretched out His hand.. Remember that when you doubt God and His Word, when your faith is little, He is always there beside you, waiting for you to turn back to Him. He will never leave you or forsake you,5 and if you turn to Him and keep your spiritual eyes on Him, He will never let you sink. Hallelujah!
References:
1. 2 Corinthians 5:7 - For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2. John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
3. Romans 5:17 - For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
4. Colassians 2:15 - And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
5. Deuteronomy 31:6 - Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

New house delivered
This testimony was written by another member of the Freedom
Ministries family. To see more, please go to www.freedomministries.org
I wanted to move from the apartments that we lived in, so I asked God for a new place to live. Moving is not something we cannot afford at this moment, so I had no idea how it would happen. I just thanked and gave him all the praise for a new place even though I didn't know how it would work. Then about a month later we got a place! The
landlord is only charging us half of what he knows he can get for it which is only $40 more than what we pay now in the apartment! Hallelujah! We will be out by the end of
October! He makes a way when there is no way!

Broken foot healed
This testimony was written by another member of the Freedom
Ministries family. To see more, please go to www.freedomministries.org
My grandaughter was sitting on a chair when it collapsed, and her foot got caught under it. When my daughter looked at her foot it was clearly broken and she was in pain. My daughter remained calm and just said Jesus and put anointing oil on it. When
she looked again the foot turned back to normal, and was in no pain! We give God all the glory!!

God ALL the Glory because the doctors have confirmed,
my wife is pregnant!! The doctors were confounded because
he said the baby was conceived at a time where it was
scientifically impossible! He makes a way when there is NO
way!

Cancer dried up in Jesus' name!
This testimony was written by another member of the Freedom
Ministries family. To see more, please go to www.freedomministries.org
Two weeks ago, my friends Deb and Jen came to a
fellowship meeting. Several weeks prior, Deb was
diagnosed with double breast cancer and was scheduled
to get a lumpectomy. I should also preface that she was
diagnosed in early Sept with breast cancer and they
suspected uterine cancer as well. Pastor Mike
was in town for a fellowship and Debra's aunt asked
Pastor Mike to pray that she did not have the uterine
cancer. The next day, she was evaluated and results - NO
Uterine cancer! Anyway, she came to fellowship and
asked that we pray for her. We prayed that the cancer die
up and that no cancer be found. On Monday before the
lumpectomy, they decided to do ultrasound to check out
things before the surgery. Guess what?! They found
nothing! NO SIGNS OF CANCER AT ALL!!!
Radiologist were brought in and other doctors and no one
could figure it out! We all know that's because it was truly
a God given miracle! He can (and does!) anything! Praise
God!
God is no respecter of persons, so please remember that He doesn't heal some and not others. If you or anyone you know is suffering from cancer or any other illness, please know that "He is the God that healeth thee". Take this testimony, and claim it as your own! If you are in need of prayer, please feel free to email me at letusreign@gmail.com.
