Out of the Shadows: A Journey into the Kingdom of Light

By Reese Black

"Out of the Shadows" is both my story and the story of what God is doing in the Christian Church today. It's a story about finding healing from emotional wounds and unhealthy beliefs. It's a story about going on an authentic pursuit of who Jesus really is. It's a story about walking out of the shadows-out of the traps of the kingdom of darkness-and stepping fully into the light of God's kingdom.

In order to draw us into him, God is working to dismantle our constructions so that he himself can be the bedrock of our lives. Allowing God to do this is ultimately satisfying. But the process? It's confusing, frustrating, uncomfortable, and sometimes even terrifying. It's much easier to put up barriers, maintaining distance from God at all times. It's safer to stay away from the fire and therefore the prospect of melting. But there's a reason God calls us into the process. At the end of it, we find who we were always meant to be. We find what the Church was always meant to be. And finally, we are empowered to transform the world into what it was always meant to be.
