QUICKENED SCRIPTURE: DWELL IN MY LIGHT AND THE DARKNESS CAN NOT SEIZE IT   7/09/10

John 1:1-5 AMP

IN THE beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [Isa 9:6.] He was present originally with God. All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men.  And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].

John 1:1-5  NLT

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him,

and nothing was created except through him. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. 5 The light shines in the darkness,

and the darkness can never extinguish it. {2638}

John 1:1-5 NKJV

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

NT:2638  EXTINGUISH/ COMPREHEND

katalambano (kat-al-am-ban'-o); from NT:2596 and NT:2983; to take eagerly, i.e. seize, possess, etc. (literally or figuratively):

WORD TO PONDER:  DWELL IN MY LIGHT AND THE DARKNESS CAN NOT SEIZE IT 7/09/10

If you dwell in My Light and My Light dwells in you, you shall shine in the darkness.  The darkness will not overpower you.  The darkness can not put out your light, absorb it, or seize it from you.  Wherever there is My Light, you may say the enemy has nothing in you.  Light and dark can not co-exist.  There is either one or the other, but not both.  It is very simple that when you turn on the Light, darkness flees. 

James 4:7-8

Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

John 14:30

I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
