DARKNESS AND ITS FALSE LIGHT IMITATION
Brother James, OIC
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
New King James Version (NKJV)
13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
Matthew 7:19-21
New King James Version (NKJV)
19-21 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.
Works, Fruit, Light and Faith all have their False Imitations that are rooted in Darkness. And they are all connected and moving like Zombies in many of todays Church business of selling a jesus. It is a reality that these imitations seemingly flow like they are of God, but they are not, they are Dark Imitations of what God intended them to be in His Love and Light.
I will start with "Works" that thing that is so prevalent in todays religion but is dead to any vital use to the Kingdom of God. Works perceived as "things you do" is already slipping off the Narrow Path. Helping those in need is definitely a command of Jesus but "work" has nothing to do with the action. Action is a result othe true "work" which is preparation in Christ. You can feed the hungry all day long but if you are not prepared then the hungry will be hungry again and still without Hope. To do the "work" of God you first must be full of the Faith, a True believer in Gods Promises:
John 6:27-29
New King James Version (NKJV)
27-29 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” "Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
So we see by Jesus' own words that , when preparation in Him meets opportunity then thats the work then there's successful bearing of Good Fruit. This sowing of Faith must yield a crop and wherein Good Fruit is produced by those who fully understand and trust Gods Promises religious dead works also yield a crop thats withered and its fruit is non existant.
Jude 1:11-13
New King James Version (NKJV)
11-13 Woe to them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Balaam for profit, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about[a] by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
Light which is True Light is illuminated by Gods Truth. Jesus is the Light of the world, Jesus is the Word of Truth. One of Satans names is Lucifer which means "light bearer". Since Satan decided to twist truth and took on the title "father of lies" the light that comes from his solutions is a False Light and this False Light contains all the Fallen Wisdom of the world. These False Solutions appear in the hearts of many as a lighted path, a clear and correct resolution to a problem when in reality they are a detour from the Narrow Path of Salvation onto the Wide Path to Hell and Eternal Death in the Lake of Fire. The World applauds these snares of Satan as does the lukewarm church. Medicines along with their side effects, religion mixed with psychology, 12 step religions and their spiritual awakenings are just some of the detours that seem like lighted paths to a solution. Gods Truth directs our path with True Light:
Psalm 119:104-106
New King James Version (NKJV)
Through Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. I have sworn and confirmed That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
But Satans False Solutions will have no fruitful end:
Proverbs 20:27
The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the inner depths of his heart.
Proverbs 24:20
For there will be no prospect for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out.
