In Thy Light
Brother James, OIC
Psalm 36:9
“ For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. “
No one can see light until God calls them into the light. This light gets brighter the more we act on the truth of Gods’ word. Sounds simple enough, but is it?
We as the body of Christ are called into fellowship of His light.
1st John 1:7 says, “ but if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”
What a wonderful benefit of fellowship in the light, the blood of Jesus Christ cleansing us from all sin. This cleansing requires us to be in fellowship in the True Light. Yet there are many who profess they are in this fellowship are not, remember, many are called but few are chosen. And it is in the power he gave us at the time we received Jesus to make our call and election sure in His Light.
Jesus warned us in his word, that
“Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name cast out devils, and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, depart from me workers of iniquity, I never knew you.” Matthew 7:22-23
Iniquity is a very subtle tool of Satan, It imitates light, it appears as the law of liberty and quickly tries to show itself as if from God. However, it is not it is darkness. Lawlessness is from the very pit of hell. The darkness of this sin is to convince those bound by its many “ Worldly False Solutions” that it’s right and it honors God and that it’s works are of God.
Jesus warns us further; “ The light of the body is the eyes; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore that light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness.”Mt.6:22-23
Academic attempts at intellectual ascension to the light usually results in darkness; iniquities abounding. It is only when Jesus begins revealing the Father to you that the anointing grows within, its glorious light increases and flows out of you like rivers of Living Water. A single eye desires one thing, to know the truth of Gods’ Word. An evil eye however, will look to educational endeavors, pharmaceuticals, psychologies, philosophies, step programs, self help programs; the fuller list of Satan’s world and its false solutions abound.
If you desire truth that produces light within ask God, as you study his word, God will also bring out of his remnant ministries of truth to teach you. Don’t fall for the subtle yet enormous movement of darkness in the lukewarm church. Get excited as Jesus has it all and is willing to give it to you if you will only ask and believe.
