LET THERE BE LIGHT 5-3-25 VIDEO LIGHT NEVER DIES 2
The most important and most powerful created work of God is light. Without light, there would be no form of life. All miracles begin with the command of God. Let there be light. The light is not sunlight or moonlight or starlight. But the calling down of the presence of the Lord of glory upon our planet without form. The Hebrew word for light means elimination, or lighting. Jesus was and is the term of light of life. He is the light of the world who overcame darkness.
