@deebaby1974: He spoke into darkness and light happened. Not eventually. Not after a process. He said the word and darkness that had no opposition — that had existed without interruption since before time — was instantly and completely displaced. This is the nature of the creative word of God. It does not compete with what it is displacing. It does not negotiate with the darkness for gradual surrender. It arrives and the darkness simply cannot coexist with it. The same word is spoken over your darkness. The darkness in your situation. The darkness in your mind at 2pm on a Tuesday. The darkness that has had such uninterrupted residence in certain areas of your life that it has started to feel like the walls themselves. He speaks into darkness. Still. The word that made light from nothing is the same word available to you today. "For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made His light shine in our hearts." — 2 Corinthians 4:6
