Editor's Heart for May 2022
[Jesus said,] "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all [who are] in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."

We know that Jesus said "I am the light of the world," but we forget the part that says, "as long as I am IN the world". In the Scripture above, He clearly taught His followers that WE are the light of the world. How is that even possible? you may ask. As Christians, we believe... no, we KNOW... that when we were born again, the Holy Spirit came to dwell in us and transform us into the image of Christ. Not only that, the Scriptures clearly teach that Christ is actually IN us (Galatians 2:19-20; Ephesians 3:14-19; Colossians 1:27; and others). Therefore, because THE LIGHT of the world is now living in us, WE are the light of the world. And we are called... required... commanded... to let that light shine in the darkness of this world. If you've ever thought about how utterly dark and evil our world seems, then think on this: It may only take a little light to pierce the darkness, but that light will appear very dim if it's only a little light. Let's resolve today to TURN UP our light. Put your light on BRIGHT! And let's band together as believers, combining our lights and letting the Light of Jesus Christ within us overcome the darkness wherever we are!

Praise Reports
The HOPE Louisiana event, Love Doesn't Hurt, was BEAUTIFUL! Prophetess Kaygel Nelson shared her personal testimony of surviving domestic abuse (and attempted murder, actually). It was such a message of hope for those who are currently living in abusive situations. The words given by both Pastor Donald Hunter and Pastor Dana Hunter were so powerful and timely, encouraging victims/survivors to expose the violence (and its roots) and receive healing in the Name of Jesus. The dramatic presentation presented by Agenesis Williams with original poetry by Minister Kenya Harris was breath-taking... and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. This was truly a night of healing and deliverance. I believe I can say with confidence that Almighty God made His presence known that night and hearts/lives were changed.

Stay tuned for details on the next upcoming event!
