Light drives out darkness

Light drives out darkness. If we have a problem with mean people and bad people around us then it is because we do not have light in us. If the light of Christ is shining in us then the darkness in this world will not overcome us but we will overcome by the light of Christ that dwells in us.
I recall when we moved into an apartment in Baltimore some years ago. We were living in mean street amongst mean people. But then when the Lord called us we started testifying and shining our light. We had a problem with mean neighbors but when we started testifying then the devil started running. The bad neighbors moved out and when I came out of the door then suddenly the street cleared.
Dear friend, if the light of Christ is in us then the darkness will not overwhelmed us. How much light do we have in us?
May Jesus bless you.
