Jesus is The Armor of Light

Today we are reflecting on the beautiful truth—Jesus is The Armor of Light.

…Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light…Let us walk properly, as in the day…put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13:12-14 NKJV

My Dear Precious Child,

I AM The Armor of Light that dispels all darkness. I will reveal all things even the secret motives of the heart. I will bring to light all of the deceptions of the enemy. I AM The Light of The World. When you follow Me, you will not walk in darkness. My Word is a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. I who see all things—for nothing is hidden from Me—will guide you into paths of righteousness with My very own eye. On the cross, I was surrounded by the powers of darkness. I could hear the taunts of the people around Me, mocking Me, challenging Me, saying, “If You truly are the Son of God, why don’t You come down from the cross? You saved others; why don’t You save Yourself? Then we will believe.” I heard the enemy whispering lies, “Your God has forsaken You. Your Father has abandoned You. You will never see Him again.” My death looked like victory to the powers of darkness, but on the third day, as the day was dawning, Light dispelled the darkness when I rose from the grave, conquering all darkness. Life triumphed over death. Good overcame evil. Bitter became sweet. I understand the darkness you face, for I too have been where you are now. I know that the enemy is whispering lies in your ears. Let Me shine in you, and I will dispel all darkness from your life, for I AM not just The Light of The World, but I AM your Light. The Light that will protect you from the dark lies of the enemy, replacing them with light and truth.

Love,
Jesus

    I really appreciate this picture of Christ Himself as our Armor of Light. As I read through your additional Scriptures, I kept coming back to the beautiful progression they reveal. Colossians 1:13 tells us that Christ “hath delivered us from the power of darkness,” but He doesn’t simply bring us out of darkness and then leave us to defend ourselves against it. Romans 13 tells us to “put on the armour of light,” and just two verses later reveals what that armor truly is: Jesus Himself. There is something so reassuring about that. Our protection against darkness is not dependent upon our own strength, but upon how closely we abide in Christ. The nearer we remain to the Light, the less room darkness has to deceive us, discourage us, or gain a foothold in our lives.

      It is so amazing that Jesus is our Armor and that we can firm in His and in His might against Satan’s deceptions. We hath no hope if we had to stand in our own power.
