I prayed to JESUS
early this morning:
"Please shine your LIGHT,
upon the darkness of our souls."
And the BIBLE answered.
Here's what came forth:
GOD's first WORDS:
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form,
and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said,
Let there be light:
and there was light.
4 And God saw the light,
that it was good:
and God divided the light
from the darkness.
5 And God called the light
Day,
and the darkness
he called Night.
And the evening and the morning
were the first day.
Genesis 1:1-5
King James Version
GOD made TWO great LIGHTS on the FOURTH day:
14 And God said,
Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven
to divide the day from the night;
and let them be for signs,
and for seasons,
and for days,
and years:
15 And let them be for lights
in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth:
and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights;
the greater light to rule the day,
and the lesser light to rule the night:
he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day
and over the night,
and to divide the light from the darkness:
and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning
were the fourth day.
Genesis 1:14-19
King James Version
GOD is LIGHT:
5 This then is the message which we have heard of him,
and declare unto you,
that God is light,
and in him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with him,
and walk in darkness,
we lie,
and do not the truth:
7 But if we walk in the light,
as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
1 John 1:5-7
King James Version
The steady "Father of lights":
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift
is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning.
James 1:17 King James Version
GOD's "marvellous light":
9 But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation,
a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth
the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light;
1 Peter 2:9
King James Version
GOD's Light "shineth in darkness":
1 In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning
with God.
3 All things were made by him;
and without him
was not any thing made
that was made.
4 In him was life;
and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 1:1-5
King James Version
The Lamb is the "light":
23 And the city had no need of the sun,
neither of the moon,
to shine in it:
for the glory of God did lighten it,
and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them which are saved
shall walk in the light of it:
and the kings of the earth
do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day:
for there shall be no night there.
Revelation 21:23-25
King James Version
5 As long as I am in the world,
I am the light of the world.

that whosoever believeth on me
should not abide in darkness.

The LORD as a light unto us:

but shall have the light of life.

cleanseth us from all sin.
