Mat 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
The Dark Times
Three things I seem to get from tis good passage.
Three things I seem to get from tis good passage.
1) God has a Word:
He has something to say. It would do us all good to listen.
At times it may be bold and loud.
Then there are times when it is in the stillness, he whispers in our ear. They are secrets that are for you and you alone.
As God was getting Elijah's attention, he revealed unto the prophet, He wasn't in the fire, the earthquake, or the strong wind. HE was in the small still voice. If Elijah is not careful he would miss it.

2)God has a Place: in the dark (what I tell you in the dark)
God knows where we need to be for him to speak to us..
Moses it was on a Mountain Top:
Elijah it was by a Brook
Ezekiel it was in a Valley of Dry Bones
Paul was in a Desert
Here in our verse before us, it was Darkness
We do not end up in these places by accident.
I go out west some for meetings. People fail to see how big the sky is whose never been. In Georgia where I live, it's like looking up out of a box at the sky, but out there the sky is like a giant bed sheet that has been spread out before us.
One year we had a meeting at a camp ground on top of a mountain. The campground's electricity and power was from a very large generator that ran until 10:00 at night and then it would shut down.
I went outside the cabin I was staying in and looked up and to my wonder, the sky was lit up with thousands of stars. They were there all alone, but this place of darkness reveal them to me.
In the dark when you can't see, look up to see the light, the glory of God if you please. It's there..

3) God has a Task: preach ye upon the housetops.
What ye hear, preach it on the house top.. Don't keep it to yourself. Tell it!!!!
Someone needs to hear it. In fact, they just might be in a dark time in their life.
What comfort it is to them to hear, that God speaks in these dark times.
