Light . . .

In the study of quantum physics, it has been found that nothing travels faster than light. Even gravity moves at a pace that is less than the speed of light. According to the leaders in the scientific community that study such things, our sun could explode and the effect on planet earth would not be felt until eight minutes later, when the light of the event reached our position.

The hearing of this simple truth caught my attention and stirred something within my spirit.

My mind went to the verse in the book of John that says,

If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? John 3:12 (KJV)

Scripture is historical and spiritual truth; given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit to faithful men who wrote what they heard, perceived, or saw. Because of the historical accuracy of the Bible we can count on the spiritual accuracy of it's record also.

When science is applied in pure fashion, it leads one to God, not away from Him, because it validates the written Word of God that we call the Bible. This discovery of the truth of light is borne out in our spiritual understanding also.

Light came before anything could be set in order:

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. Genesis 1:3-4 (KJV)

Faith cannot come without revelation (light). Revelation cannot come but by hearing the Word of God:

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 (KJV)

So too comes healing (we must have revelation of Jesus as our healer), prosperity (we must have revelation of God as provider), etc.

Light must come first.
