The Light of God's Word

Walking in the light of God's Word means to walk in the light of those things that are consistent with God's provision for the new creation as revealed by the Word. The Word reveals, for example, that as new creations, we have justification. You're to walk in the light of your justification. You've been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21). You're to walk in the light of your righteousness, and that means you're walking in consistency with what God says about your righteousness. God's light about righteousness is that, it's a gift that's imparted into anyone who believes in Jesus Christ.

So, you say, “Father, I dwell in your light; in your light, righteousness is a gift that's given to everyone who believes in Jesus Christ; therefore, I have that gift in the Name of Jesus. I am righteous. Hallelujah.” That's walking in His light. The carnal man doesn't say such things, because he lives by what his senses tell him. He says, “I'm struggling in life; I just feel like God isn't with me today.” You see, he contradicts God's Word by declaring himself a struggler, not conscious that the Bible says those who entered into God's rest have ceased from their struggles (Hebrews 4:10). He interprets his life through his own senses, and God's Word has nothing to do with your senses.

Unlike the carnal guy, you're to walk by the Spirit and not by your feelings. Romans 8:13 says, “For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” This isn't talking about physical death; it's talking about spiritual death. That means you'll be cut off from God; you'll find yourself struggling. But if you walk in God's light, in His Word, you'll live, rule and reign as a king.
