"Why is it dark and
where is The Light?"
Many people notice these days that the world seems to be getting
darker but what does this really indicate? What is dark
and what is light?
God is Light and Jesus is the Light of the world. So darkness
increases when the light fades or is absent. So, is The
Light gone or is it just fading ? Why is the world getting
darker?
God is Light and Jesus - the Light of this world does not fade -
They remain the same - bright as ever!
It is the world which is moving away from God that allows for
the darkness. The darkness will never overcome the Light.
But people choose darkness rather than Light. No,
the Light is not fading it is being ignored and rejected and
pushed away. But what of all the churches and all the people who
claim to have Jesus - The Light ? Why are they not
shinning brightly as the day approaches for our Lords return.
The Bible warns about a Great Apostacy in the Last Days and how
many will fall away from following Jesus and His teachings. They
will follow after false teachers, doctrines of demons and having
itchy ears , listening only to that which pleases their flesh in
this world. These are dark times for The Churches especially in
America. I have heard Pastors on the radio say how sick the
churches are and that we must be seek now to belong to The
Body of Christ. Meaning - I believe, to come out from them
and find fellowship with true believers. I agree that this
is true. But where does this leave The Church and where is The
Light NOW.
The Church in America is not just sick - it is dead and it's
light or candlestick has been removed. We are talking about
America here and not all The Major Churches throughout the
world. So to find a Church alive must we all move to Africa or
China ? No - but we must come out from that which is dead and
follow The Holy Spirit as He leads each of us individually into
the presence of The Lord. We are still in the world (America for
us who live here) but no longer of it. The Church is undergoing
a tranformation similar to that of a butterfly. It is dying to
it's old identity which has served it's purpose and becoming
something New in purpose. It is becoming The Bride of Christ.
Taken from His Body and to be presented to Him - pure, spotless
and without wrinkle. The "KEY" to all of this is - THE BRIDE
SEPARATES HERSELF AND MAKES HERSELF READY.
So as believers listen to The Spirit and The Bride - they will
come out from the darkness and into The Light. This is where the
Bride is. The Bride is becoming brighter and brighter as
the world becomes darker and darker until she is removed
completely. NOW is the time to become the Bride - a whole new
identity and relationship with Christ for those who desire Him
above all else.
BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO WASH THEIR ROBES. They will be permitted
to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from
the tree of life. Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers,
the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and
ALL WHO LOVE TO LIVE A LIE. “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to
give you THIS MESSAGE FOR THE CHURCHES. I am both the source of
David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright morning star.”
The Spirit and The Bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this
say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who
desires drink freely from the water of life. Revelation
22:14-17
But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who
chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy
because I am holy.”
And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no
favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do.
1 Peter 1:15-17
You can be sure of this: The LORD set apart the godly for
himself. The LORD will answer when I call to him. Psalm 4:3
