The Armour of Light

“The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” Romans 13:12

Light is the most essential aspect and ingredient of life, it is the very source of life. In the physical world, light is the chief source of energy and principal component of human survival; on Earth, the sun is the main source of light. The light that emanates or proceeds from the sun provides plants with the energy required to create starch for their survival and initiates the process of photosynthesis: this process is essential, it practically provides all the energy required for the sustenance of all living things, more especially human beings. The physical world is governed by physical laws; in physics, light is electromagnetic radiation in the form of wavelengths whether visible to the human eyes or otherwise; visible light carries wavelengths recognized by the human eyes; it is responsible for the sense of sight. Therefore, all types of electromagnetic radiation whether gamma rays, microwaves, X-rays, or radio-waves emit or carry wavelengths; they are all difference types of lights; and are all an integral aspect of everyday life in the physical world more especially radio-waves.

In the Spirit world, light is the totality of the father; everything is composed of light even darkness came out of light; he is the father of lights; therefore, darkness is a form of light and Lucifer rightly transforms himself into an angle of light. Prophet Daniel while describing the character and nature of God the father, rightly and poetically accords Him the status of being the source of all the lights even darkness “He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. Daniel 2:2. Initially there was only light and goodness, but the evil desires in the heart of Lucifer bred darkness; once darkness manifested, He was cast into the earth which was then void, formless, and full of water. Paul’s second letter to the church at Corinth ascribes this age to the devil and accords him the title god; meaning he emits darkness which has the power to blind the minds of unbelievers “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” 2^nd Corinthians 4:4. The gospel is a light that proceeds forth from the through of grace; it is the glorious light of Christ; he is the angle of the gospel; he is the angle of light; he is the spirit of light. While at Patmos, John the revelator saw him emerging from the throne of light “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. Revelation 14:6.

The glorious light of the gospel is the weapon believers require which empowers their minds to fight the hidden things of darkness; it’s the armor of God; it’s the armor of Light; it carries the spirit of light. While writing from a dungeon in Rome, to his converts at Ephesus, Paul the apostle admonishes the congregation; he expressly informs them to be strong in the lord and in the power of his might; and adages them to put on the armor of God; it is the armor of light which carries the power and potency required to resist the wiles of the devil. “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 10

Confession

Thank you Father of lights that I am a beacon of light and I emit the glorious light of the gospel; heavenly Father as I pray in the Holy Spirit and mediate on your word, let the armor of light encompass my spirit and destroy all the hidden things of darkness; let the spirit of light enlighten my understanding and empower my mind to function in the spirit world.  In Jesus Name; Amen.
