Speak These 50 Confessions of Light to Dispel the Darkness

Do you feel darkness encroaching on your soul–your mind, will, and emotions? Do you need Jesus to fill you with His light and dispel the darkness? If so, He is with you right now, beloved. He has already filled you with His light, and He will make the darkness flee if you will lift your eyes on Him.

But first, I want you to know that you are not alone.

Beloved, I can’t even tell you how many times I have fought darkness in my life.

Over the course of my life, particularly in the last 20 years, I have been through absolute, proverbial hell, time and time again. I have been blessed to walk through some very dark times. (Your problems do have a shelf life; you’re only walking through, not staying in the valley forever!)

From major financial challenges, to depression stemming from spiritual abuse, to fighting off spirits of death and suicide, to other troubles too numerous to name, I have walked through darkness many times.

During those times, again, I can’t even tell you how many times I have laid in my bed and prayed only for the darkness to leave. The darkness has felt overwhelming, and all I wanted during those times was to see light and life again.

But in order to get through such troubles with VICTORY, we need tools.

Each time I have been in that dark place, I have used tools such as prayer, Bible study, meditating on Scripture, worship, praying in the Spirit, and so on. I did what it took to find encouragement, grace, and strength from the Lord to go on and keep breathing from day to day.

But the Lord has brought it to my remembrance lately how important the specific issue of LIGHT versus DARKNESS was during those times, and how I didn’t have a specific tool to specifically target and combat that darkness by name.

So, I felt led to write out 50 confessions of light. These 50 confessions of light are a tool I wish I had during those dark times, and they are a tool I will use on an ongoing basis to fend off and dispel any encroaching attacks of darkness during day to day life.

Beloved, if you are dealing with emotional or mental darkness today, this tool will help you, too.

These confessions of light will help you get through because they will release the power AND LIGHT of God into your situation. If you will speak these confessions over yourself consistently, even if you only speak a few confessions each day (even one or two a day!), you will begin seeing change in your life.

When you speak these confessions of light, you will be proclaiming the truth of God’s Word over the darkness you’re in.

And since God IS The Word, as it says in John chapter 1 …

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1 NKJV).

… And since God IS light, and in Him is no darkness at all:

“This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all” (1 John 1:5 NKJV).

… Then when you speak God’s Word, you are literally speaking GOD into a situation. And since He IS Light, He will dispel all darkness for you.

Yes, God will dispel the darkness for you when you speak His Word out loud and believe Him.

And if you can’t find it in your heart to believe Him yet, speak His Word out loud anyway. Feelings follow words; feelings never come first. So it will build your faith to speak His Word out loud over yourself, even if you only speak one or two of these Scriptural confessions of light per day.

Beloved, Jesus doesn’t want you to live in darkness.

He is your Light, and He is your Hope. In His presence is fullness of joy:

“You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11 NKJV).

The darkness is not from Him. He speaks peace to your storm, and He will use the confessions below to bring peace into your life and heart as you speak them out.

Are you ready?
