But if we WALK IN THE LIGHT as HE IS IN THE LIGHT, we have fellowship with one another, and the BLOOD OF JESUS Christ His Son CLEANSES US FROM ALL SIN. (1John 1:7 NKJ)

“His light is not a microscope to magnify our sin…His light is a spotlight for His blood that cleanses us from all sin” – Pastor Shannon

“YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A city that is set on a hill CANNOT BE HIDDEN. Nor do they light a lamp and PUT IT UNDER A BASKET, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16 NKJ)

• Your righteousness was paid in full on the cross!

#2 KEEP HIM ON THE THRONE OF YOUR LIFE

And the one SITTING ON THE THRONE said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then he said to me, “WRITE THIS DOWN, for what I tell you is TRUSTWORTHY AND TRUE.” (Revelation 21:5 NLT)

• What He says about you is trustworthy and true!

“I KNEW YOU before I FORMED YOU in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 NLT)

• You are not a mistake but a masterpiece.

For we are GOD’S MASTERPIECE. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:10 NLT)

For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT)

#3 WALK TO THE TUNE OF HIS VOICE

My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27-28 NLT)

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. (John 16:13 NLT)

Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left. (Isaiah 30:21 NLT)
