Shalom,


2 Corinthians 4:6-7 says this:

6 For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah).  [Gen 1:3.] 

7 However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves. (AMP)

The Wuest Expanded New Testament says:

6 Because the God who said, Out of darkness light shall shine, shined in our hearts, resulting in an illumination being given of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 

7 But we have this treasure [the reflection of the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ] in earthenware containers, in order that the superexcellence of the power might be from God as a source and not from us.

I like that word "superexcellence"! This is the Greek word "huperballo", which means: throwing beyond others; surpassing; beyond measure; exceeding greatness. "Power" is the Greek word "dunamis", where we get the word "dynamite"! This great power that is IN us is HIS power! It is HIS ability, HIS power, HIS nature, HIS wisdom, that we operate in, so that all of the glory and honor for what is accomplished through us is HIS! AMEN! Those in the world without Jesus cannot receive this power. They must receive HIM! THAT is why we have been sent to preach the Good News to the world! 

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 tells us why this Gospel is not received by some when we share it:

3 But even if our Gospel (the glad tidings) also be hidden (obscured and covered up with a veil that hinders the knowledge of God), it is hidden [only] to those who are perishing and obscured [only] to those who are spiritually dying and veiled [only] to those who are lost. 

4 For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers' minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God. (AMP)

Notice that it is the "god of this world" who has blinded the minds of those who refuse to receive the Gospel! What can WE do about that? Prayer, especially prayer in the Spirit, MUST precede the preaching of the Gospel so that the eyes of their understanding will be open BEFORE we even open our mouths! PRAY, then SPEAK! THAT is what we have been called to do! Amen! here to encourage you is Hillsong United with "Light Will Shine":

Shalom in Him!
