Let the light in, and the darkness will flee The Devil is the accuser of the saints (Revelation 12:9-10). He accuses us for what we haven’t done or could have done or should have done but didn’t. He picks at all the lacks and shortcomings and weaknesses and little failures. If you start listening to him, you’re beaten, because there will always be something more you could have done or something you wish you hadn’t done. There will always be something—some neglect, some oversight, some mistake or fault, some bad habit—that the Devil can pick on if he wants to, and he sure wants to! But thank God for Jesus! He’s the antidote! Jesus always points out the good things. He never loses faith in us and He never stops loving us, even when we do make mistakes. So when the Devil descends on you with his dark thoughts about yourself or others, don’t listen to him. Listen to Jesus instead. Let the light in! Think positive thoughts. Remind yourself constantly of the good. When you think positively about yourself and others, it chases away the doubts and the fears and nagging little accusations from the Devil. Fill your mind and heart and mouth with positive things. Chase away the Devil and all his shades of night by letting the light in. Count your blessings and put the Devil on the run! — John 8:12 ESV - Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 1 John 1:7 ESV - But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. John 1:5 ESV - The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
