The light of the world is our Lord Jesus, in order to reach a broad understanding about the manifestation of this refulgent brilliance over the entire world, it is necessary to have knowledge of the conflict between light and darkness. The Apostle Paul makes reference to this subject, and says the following:
“In Him was life, and life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not prevail against it” John 1:4,5.
The darkness becomes insubstantial, without any power against the light of the world, now if Jesus is the light that dwells within us, why doesn’t the darkness that surrounds us immediately disappear? In the following article you will find the answers to many questions about this magnificent power that Jesus unleashed for the children of God to establish and manifest in the world.
What is the light of the world?
The light of the world is Jesus and his truth manifested on earth, is his being shining in the midst of darkness, to establish the kingdom of God.
Jesus is the light that came into this world, “In Him was life, and life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not prevail against it.” John 1:4-5.
Why is the light of the world not manifested through all believers?
A large part of the light is still veiled, because of various structures that the devil has built through people. Those veils produce darkness; forming like a shell that covers the person and this prevents the brilliance of Christ, his perfect light from manifesting. This light is real and is in the believer, but due to the strongholds of iniquity, and all kinds of mental structures that have been formed since the conception of the baby and throughout his childhood, they adhered strongly, so that this opposes Christ.
So that there is a difference between the presence of light in the life of the true children of God and its notorious and visible manifestation through the life of the believer, it is important to be able to distinguish these two areas; the presence of divine virtues and their manifestation in each one of us.
It is essential to be aware that a person who recently converts to Christ will have the presence of all the attributes and the power of God by faith. However, they do not manifest immediately, first you must go through a process of breaking the inner being, and understand the principles that give production to the manifestation of the light of the world and the kingdom of God.
“…God is light, and there is no darkness in HIM.”
How to manage to manifest the bill of Christ on earth?
First we have to understand “that it is the light of the world that will lead us to know the different dimensions, designs and mysteries of its glory”. The light brings us to an encounter with the face, with the face of Jesus, who is brighter than the sun, it is the light that will lead us to manifest him so that no darkness will prevail around us and in this way we will begin to radiate from the refulgent brilliance of his powerful presence. It is the highest war in which we can participate.
Broadly understanding the principles of the light of the world, goes beyond a simple positional doctrine in which we are light by the simple fact of having received salvation in Christ in our hearts. If the majority of believers really produced the light that God designed for us, then I believe that there would not be a single demon on earth.
The detail of this revelation is that we are light, yes, theoretically, but we really have to do it in a visible practice before all those who expect from believers that manifestation of the brilliance of Christ as a real testimony, a shining light, that the glory of God in us, it is Jesus himself, God dwelling in the believer, the light of the world is Christ in all his magnificence and majesty and dwells here and now. It’s time to start shining with the light of Jesus.
“Rise and shine; for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and darkness the nations; but the LORD will rise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations will walk in your light and kings in the splendor of your birth. Isaiah 60:1,3.
The light of the world at different levels
There are levels of light, the Lord manifests that there is a level of light related to his glory that can have visibility before all, and that even the rulers themselves will yearn to obtain and will follow it. A people with a deep understanding of the light of the world is rising up, who are penetrating God’s designs, they are rising up to shine on the earth, through the light of the world. Theology is already becoming a theory with little substance, God is raising up a generation understood in the prophetic, a generation that is shining under the power of Christ. The level of a face that shines with the light of the world, is a believer who has decided to transform himself into the truth of Jesus.
The colors of light in the world
The light is diffracted into seven colors, all together produce white light, it is in this way that each aspect of the light of Christ is seen externalized, and to the extent that we penetrate with the giver of increasing light in our lives .
“Therefore we all, beholding with unveiled face as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed from glory to glory into the same image, as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 3:18
Understanding his glory is achieved through a real experience, lived with the face of Jesus.

What does it mean to shine?
Shining means full of light. We can therefore see that the revelation of Christ in us has to do with the levels of light in which we move. The word tells us clearly that there are different levels in the intimate relationship with the Lord. Example the disciples; one was the relationship that three of the disciples who were present at the transfiguration had, and John the beloved disciple was another type of relationship.
The origin of the light of the world
The origin of the light of the world was through the cross. Jesus made himself similar to all human beings, as a sinner, in order to be our intercessor for the purpose to occur, he was brought to reproach and reproach. Calvary, which was a place for the damned, was gloomy because this place was together with the garbage dump of that city, where the most despicable and terrible criminals were executed. This was the place where the death of Jesus was carried out for each one of us, there he was added to the transgressors.
This indicates that he was seen as one of those criminals. In that place he exposed the sin, he carried in his body the act that was not contrary. In each of the blows to his face, each wound on his body, lash, sore, and in the holes produced by the nails, in his forehead torn by the thorns of the crown, the sins of humanity are marked and sealed. That was the price Jesus paid to be the light of the world.
“This is the message that we have heard from him, and we announce to you; God is light and there is no darkness in him. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and we walk in darkness, we lie. And we do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:5-7
Are you walking in the Light of the world?
When we walk in the light, it is because the blood of Christ has cleansed us from all sin, this allows us to have fellowship with one another. John’s bible quote says:
“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins. He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and cleanse us from all evil. If we decide that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1 John 1:8-10.
The confession of sins is important and must be done in a genuine way, this allows us to receive liberation, a deep cleansing of our soul. “Confess” means to speak in public. This is the word we use when someone comes to receive salvation and then publicly makes the statement of faith.
“For with the heart one believes for Justice, but with the mouth one confesses for salvation” Romans 10.10.
This reveals to us that we must speak before everyone what our heart believes about Jesus. So this means that the same word used for this act of faith, we must confess our sins before other believers, so that in this way they can be exposed to the light. Many disagree, preferring to use the same form used by Catholics. Jesus was stripped of his clothes and publicly exposed the sins of the world, then he was publicly defeated by principalities and powers.
How then do we pretend to have the victory in the hidden?
The only way not to have satan accuse you is to reach the highest level of light and that is obtained by exposing all the darkness that is within our being, and without hidden stain we will win, because we will have the light of the world shining in our entire being.
Confession is the most powerful weapon we have against satan. When we confess sin we enter into the light of Jesus, that same light that was achieved on the cross. and that frees us from the accusations of satan, the devil has no power over your life, when you truthfully confess to the light, when you strip off the garments of sin, exposing to the light, just as Jesus did, that It is the way to activate to illuminate with the light of the world.
