Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

On Christmas, when we are celebrating the birth of the Redeemer of the World, who transforms lives, many are fearful due to terrorist acts against school children or youth in movie theaters. Fear is a strong motivator and it never brings good. The perfect love of God casts out all fear. When I actively walk in love and project love, I am a thermostat that changes the atmosphere around me. Angry and hostile people soften and change, when the enemy is bound, and the people wrapped in the love of God. Demons that want to control and infest, cannot because love triumphs over evil. Greater is he who is with me than he who is in the world!

We are the light of the world and light casts out darkness. It is imperative for Christians to walk in the light of life (John 8:12) and God’s love. The miracle-working Spirit of God lives inside of us and changes us from within. Looking to guns or anything that only controls the outside, merely spins the wheels, without addressing the true problem. Many criminals who are in prison, still hate, are bitter, fight and even murder. We are in a fight between good and evil. The people who terrorize and kill others have strong delusions that come from the enemy of our souls not from God. The weapons that we fight with are powerful for pulling down strongholds and truly changing us from within.

God has come to dwell with us and his love transforms us. I would rather see Christians adopting schools, shopping malls, neighborhoods, relatives, etc., for whom they pray, intercede, and care than all the guns or police in the world. If we let our light shine, the darkness flees. Rejoice, Yahweh delivers and saves and his name is Yeshua (Jesus)! God loves us and he has sent us his only begotten son!
