The Clash of Two Kingdoms
Jesus is the Light of the World and Satan is known as the prince of darkness. Notice the clash of the kingdoms here. It is impossible for light and darkness to mix and yet our culture likes to dress darkness up to make it appear better than it actually is.
It is important to close off any access points we have unknowingly partaken in the things of darkness because fo the glossed-over version that culture is intent on feeding us. The following questions can be helpful in rooting out any darkness present in your life.
Questions to Ask and Ponder
- Evaluate the things you are reading watching, and listening to by asking yourself if they are in alignment with the list of qualities presented in Philippians 4:8.
- Do I have to unplug from Christ in order to participate in this activity?
- Have I become comfortable with darkness?
Final Thoughts
Romans 16:19 instructs us to be wise towards what is good and innocent towards that which is evil. There is an amazing freedom that comes when we love what God loves and hate what God hates. Make this your prayer today and you will be amazed at the freedom, joy, and peace that floods your soul when you say no to the darkness by the grace of God.
