God is what, people? {Light.} All the way from Genesis 1:3 through to Revelation 22, all the way through the Word it’s, “God is light.”
Now, how in the world can anybody then say they have light if they don't know the true God? It's a counterfeit. It has to be a counterfeit. Either that or the Bible is a counterfeit. Nobody can say that he has light until he has God, until he knows God and God knows him. That’s right.
God is light. And if anybody is ever going to have light, he's got to have God, ma’am. And the only way you ever get around to getting God is getting to His Word. For God is spirit. John 4:24. Remember? God is what? {Spirit.}
Therefore, the only way you can ever know about God is you've got to get to His Word. His word makes known. It declares God; makes known God who is spirit. And people, they have to have that light in order to know God. And until they know God, they're going to walk in darkness. They're going to say, well, I have light, but somebody saying it is sometimes far removed from the reality of having it.
