1. Jesus always stops to listen when we call out to Him.

Jesus cares about the deep needs-the biggest needs-of our lives. In this true story Jesus gives the blind man physical sight, i.e., he can now see with his eyes! But Jesus also gives this man spiritual sight, i.e., he can see the things of God with his heart!

". . . he went with Jesus and started thanking God." (Luke 18:45, CEV)

2. Satan-the enemy of God and the family of God-is called the "Prince of Darkness" or the "leader of the power of darkness." (Ephesians 2:2, NIV)

"Our fight is . . . against the leaders and the powers and the spirits of darkness in this world. . ." (Ephesians 6:12, NLV)

"The eyes of those who do not believe (in God) are made blind by Satan. He does not want the light of the Good News of Jesus Christ to shine in our hearts." (2 Corinthians 4:4a, NLV)

"In (God's) light, we see light." (Psalm 36:9b, NLV)

3. God's light is greater than Satan's darkness. God gives His light to His children.

"It was God who said, 'The light will shine in darkness" (Genesis 1:3, CEV).

"Everything that was created received its life from him, and his life gave light to everyone. The light keeps shining in the dark, and darkness has never put it out." (John 1:4-5, CEV)

"He is the One Who made His light shine in our hearts. This brings us the light of knowing God's shining-greatness which is seen in Christ's face." (2 Corinthians 4:6, NLV)
