I REFUSE the lie that I must avoid places or people to stay safe. IT IS WRITTEN that I have authority to trample on ALL the power of the enemy and nothing shall hurt me. I don't carry contamination—I carry the PRESENCE OF GOD. IT IS WRITTEN that I am the light of the world. Where I go, LIGHT goes. I am covered by the BARAK blessing that protected Daniel in the lions' den. I don't fear darkness—darkness fears the Christ IN me. I am a world-changer, not a world-avoider.
The Father doesn't see you as fragile and easily contaminated—He sees you as His warrior son carrying His presence into dark places. He's running toward you saying 'You're the dangerous one—go SHINE.'
