12/12/2025 – “For God, who said, “let light shine out of darkness,” has shown in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2 Corinthians 4:6 / See comment and Africa prayer requests below – Soli Deo Gloria indeed, whoa!
Hearing His “Let There Be”
Friday, December 12, 2025
In the beginning God said, ‘Let there be light!’ And there was light. What did others say about that at the time? Nothing. There was no other voice to say anything. There were no contrary opinions, no other plans, no second guessing, no blogs, or chat rooms. God spoke – and it was. So with the new creation. It is written in 2 Corinthians 4:6 that the Same God who said “Let there be light” is now at work similarly in your life – in the work of the new creation. And as in the beginning, so too, now, God brings about his creation, through the speaking of His Word. The problem is this – now, unlike then, there are a lot of other voices in the world – voices of doubt, of the flesh, of the past, of the world, and many more. But when God spoke in the beginning, there were no other voices. And what happened? He said “Let there be” – and there was. So learn this secret. When God speaks – hear no other voices. Hear the Word, and go with it, all out. Let there be… and there will be.
From Message #1462 Y’Hee or Let There Be Light

A moving example of light overcoming darkness, unfathomably dark, through my prayer list for Nigeria that Open Doors Ministry sent to us. Here is just a sampling of those prayers:
“Pray with Maluful, a Nigerian believer who lost his wife in an extremist attack. His experience at Open Doors’ trauma center in Nigeria underscores the need for more workers: ‘In the few days that I have spent here, I am healing inside,’ He says.”
“After a brutal attack in Nigeria, Pastor Elisha learned to forgive his enemies in Open Doors trauma care. “Honestly, when I forgive, I felt happy,” he shared. “I also started praying for their repentance.” Pray for our trauma center. Join the Arise Africa campaign today. Speak out and help us top the violence and start the healing.” (Comment: This can only come from an in indwelling Holy Spirit!)
“I do believe that we are displaced, but Jesus is not and will never be displaced from our lives. He is always with us,” says Pastor Sore. His family fled their homes in Burkina Faso. He asks us to pray for all Burkinabe believers to stand firm.”
“Pray that the worldwide Church would be ever-vigilant in prayer. God’s help is on the way – the church in Africa is rising to meet Him: Father, awaken us! Just as our African family are so resilient and expectant in their faith, may we be as equally committed to pray with them.”
