I just finished reading “The Tower of Geburah” by John White to my boys. In this book the children had to make a choice between two kingdoms. My boys easily could see the comparison—Every man is in one of two kingdoms on this earth: the kingdom of light and love, which is the kingdom of God–and the kingdom of darkness and death, which is the kingdom of satan. No one is neutral, for Jesus said, “He who is not for Me is against Me.”
Satan loves darkness. Most crimes are committed at night. The period in history when people did not worship God is called the Dark ages. How are men freed from Satan’s Grasp? You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free, said Jesus. ”What is truth?” Pontius Pilate asked. ”I Am”, Said Jesus. Jesus said, ” I am the Light of the world”. Therefore, when a man or woman opens up his or her heart to Christ, the light of the Lord drives out the darkness of satan.
Men’s eyes are opened and their lives are turned by the power of the Spirit–not by programs or procedures. It is the power of the Lord that works change in a person. It’s God’s one-step program: Get saved, let the Spirit direct your life–and you will be free.
