Serving The Carolinas Since 1931 "If it's Metal "If it's Metal...We Buy It We Buy It...Top Price!" Top Price!" Turn on the TV and you will see the gross d a r k n e s s that is cov- ering our world. The c o n s t a n t m e s s a g e of gloom and doom is proclaimed many times a day over the airways. Fear and despair fill many hearts because of trouble and devastation. Indeed, we don't even have to watch television to spot darkness trying to creep into our communities, show up at our addresses, and push its way into our homes. Yet, de- spite the darkness intertwined within humanity, Jesus - who is the Light of the world - calls us "the light". In Matthew 5:14- 16 he states, "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do peo- ple light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." What is the purpose of Light? • Light dispels darkness. • Light reveals the truth. • Light heals the hurting. • Light is full of good works. How can we shine the light when the darkness is over- whelming and intimidating? 1. IDENTIFY YOUR IDENTITY Look into the mirror? What do you see? Do you see what God sees? The darkness tries to blind us to who we are in Christ! However, through- out scripture are details of our identity. • You are created in the image and likeness of God. (Genesis 1:26-27) • You are a child of God. (Galatians 3:26) • You are the salt of the earth. (Matthew 5:13) • You are God's master- piece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:10) 2. RECEIVE FROM GOD'S PRESENCE Open the manual - the Bible. Learn it's instructions, and receive enlightenment and power from the Holy Spirit. In other words, spend time with the Lord in prayer unto you are filled with the Spirit and boldness to do the work of the Lord. (Acts 4:31) 3. DON'T LET ANYTHING STOP YOU FROM SHINING THE LIGHT! A hurting world desperately needs people who know their God and are yielded to him. People, who regardless of their own personal problems, are standing firm in the faith and are always working enthusiasti- cally for the Lord. (I Corinthi- ans 15:58) PRAY THIS PRAYER: "Father God, I praise you because you are Light, and there isn't any darkness in you at all. Thank you for being my light and my salvation - I will not fear. You are the fortress of my life, protecting me from dan- ger – I will not be afraid. Help me to shine the light of Christ to those around me that they can experience your love, truth, and power. In Jesus' name I pray - Amen." Danyale Patterson is an Evangelist and member of Engage Church. Contact her at www.danyale.com to share a testimony, send a prayer re- quest, or book her to speak.
