Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you Rest. *Matthew 11:28* Nothing will ever happen eternally within your mind and soul without the working of the Eternal Spirit. If you don't seek the Lord, that is, the Holy Spirit, and ask Him for help and guidance to the Lord Jesus Christ, you will never find your way out of the mess you've got yourself into. If you reject the Righteousness of Christ, and try to do your own thing, you shall surely perish and face eternal hell fire.
The carnal mind is enmity with God, and it is filled with confusion and chaos. The lost soul is totally incapable of doing any real good in God's sight. There is none that doeth Good, no, not one. Spiritual light, life and fruit are all the work of God, not sinful man. In the heart of a lost man dwelleth no good thing. *Romans 7:18* The natural man is utterly void apart from the operations of the Spirit of God. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
Darkness was upon the face of the deep. It is pitch black darkness within the mind of a lost man until God says, "Let there be Light!" Light excelleth darkness, and only the LORD can lighten your darkness. For God, who commanded the Light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. God commands His Light to shine into our dark hearts through the light of the Gospel. Christ Jesus the Savior hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the Light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

When you are in the flesh, the motions of sins, and under sin's dread sway, you are completely controlled by the power of darkness (Satan is the prince of darkness). Until you are born again, you belong to Satan spiritually, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about that. You must be rescued by Another from your dark bondage. The Spirit of God must move in your life, or you are doomed for sure. In Genesis 1, the Earth moved in its orbit, but its own motion could not bring any life upon it, but then the Spirit of God moved, and God spoke His words (Let there be light, and there was light). The Earth had to be moved upon, or it would've never changed. Regeneration does not come from the efforts of the natural heart.
Your greatest need is spiritual light from the God of the Holy Bible. The ungodly is facing a terrible doom, dying without a hope or a Savior. Without light, you will never see your sins as God sees them, and you will never see the Remedy for your sins, the Innocent Precious Blood of the Lamb of God. Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. No light, no sight. O Holy Spirit, please give me more light, more of Your light, more of Jesus' light - this should be your earnest prayer. The Gospel is Spiritual Light that shines into the heart of lost men, and reveals the Glory of God through the Lord Jesus Christ.
God spoke, and it was done. The words of God are quick and powerful. The gospel of Christ is the power of God unto Salvation to every one that believeth on the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus' words were with power - He could control the weather, forgive sins, and raise the dead just with His words, for He was God manifest in the flesh. What communion hath light with darkness? God divided the light from the darkness. Salvation in the heart of a lost man is not a self-reformation; it is Creation, and God Himself must make you a new creature in Christ by the word of His power. Only the Holy Spirit can quicken your dead soul and bring it back to Life. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners who are doomed to die and go to Hell.
If you remain ignorant of God's Righteousness (Christ Jesus Himself), and attempt to go about to establish your own righteousness, and never submit yourself to the Righteousness of God by Faith in Jesus' blood, you will remain hopelessly lost. If you try to save yourself in any way, you insult God, reject Christ, and do despite to the Spirit of God. Salvation is not a matter of your deeds and actions; Salvation is the saving of your soul by the glorious light of the Gospel of Christ and regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. Ye must be born again of the Spirit of God. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. If you reject Christ, your doom is sealed, you shall not see life, the wrath of God abides on you, and an escape from your Sin is impossible. Rejecting Christ is the soul-damning Sin of sins. The Blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth us from all sin - please call upon His name in truth. More Light LORD - wise prayer.
