Delivered from
darkness:
13 For
He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of
His beloved Son,
When we were born, we were trapped
in the domain of darkness. We had no hope of escape. In fact, many of us did
not want to escape, because we thought that was the best there was. It was the
enemy’s big lie. It was like someone being born in an underground sewer system
and growing up not knowing there was an outside world. Then one day someone comes
along and discovers them. They are told of the beautiful world above. They are
asked to follow, and they see for themselves what glorious things are above.
They are now in the kingdom of the sun and don’t ever want to go back to the kingdom
of darkness. So it was with us. When we were in the domain of darkness, we knew
nothing of the kingdom of the Son. Then someone told us of it and asked us to
enter into it. We now no longer desire the dark kingdom. We have experienced
the light One!
If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what
He would say:
"When
you were conceived, there was darkness in your life. When I breathed upon you
and set My Spirit inside you, you came to life and entered My Kingdom. My
Kingdom is filled with light. Darkness cannot abide in My light. Stay in the
light of My Word, and darkness will never overtake you. My Kingdom is one of
righteousness and light. Walk in My light as you walk in My Kingdom.”
26. God has delivered
me from the authority of darkness. The devil has no authority over me. God has
also transferred me to the Kingdom of His dear Son.
