HOW Does JESUS Answer a Prayer?

 

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


JESUS is the "light of the world":

5 As long as I am in the world, 

I am the light of the world.

John 9:5 

King James Version


JESUS comes as a "light into the world":

46 I am come a light into the world, 

that whosoever believeth on me 

should not abide in darkness.

John 12:46 

King James Version


The LORD as a light unto us:

8 Rejoice not against me, 

O mine enemy: 

when I fall, I shall arise; 

when I sit in darkness, 

the Lord shall be a light unto me.

Micah 7:8 

King James Version


The LORD GOD will enlighten our darkness:

28 For thou wilt light my candle: 

the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.

GOD's word as a light unto our path:

105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, 

and a light unto my path.

GOD's words "giveth light":

130 The entrance of thy words giveth light

it giveth understanding unto the simple.

Psalm 119:130 

King James Version


Followers of JESUS shall have the "light of life":

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, 

saying, 

I am the light of the worldhe that followeth me 

shall not walk in darkness, 

but shall have the light of life.

John 8:12 (King James Version)


The blood of JESUS CHRIST "cleanseth us from all sin":

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 1:7 (King James Version)


The LORD is our "light and salvation":

27 The Lord is my light and my salvation; 
whom shall I fear? 
the Lord is the strength of my life; 
of whom shall I be afraid?

Psalm 27:1 (King James Version)
