God always seems to move strong when the deep of darkness covers the earth…. This is no surprise to Him as He always knows the end from the beginning for He is the Alpha and Omega. He uses the evil to bring His good purpose.
So when stuff happens to us that is far from LIGHT…..know this is His opportunity to bring His good purpose. Hey, do you notice as darkness is getting darker, the chaos seems to be increasing among men? As scripture states there is no peace for the wicked….However, this saddens the heart of our Father, for He wishes no one perish….but all turn and repent.
So what is going to be His next move….Darkness covers the earth, then God is . It almost resembles a chess game, however, I believe, He check mates all the moves of darkness with His King…. Thank God for He is God and Heaven Rules in the sons of men.
We get invited in His story when He hovers over the void of chaos and speaks Light from the written word in Genesis….. He has been doing it ever since….. The earth was the void, then He spoke out His plan in one word- Light be…..
All creation enfolded before our eyes for us to know our God….Then time went on and we became estranged from our Maker. Man became dark so the flood came because God repented He made man…… My heart breaks when I read that scripture in Genesis.
The water came and washed away the darkness that was covering the earth…. He spoke again Light be…..
Then darkness fell again and He called out Abraham to start a Light be – in a nation, His family…….to show the earth that there was God and He was God — worship Him and view His love over His people.
Then came His government over the tribes of the lineage of Abraham……….As time went on, the difference between other nations and Abraham’s lineage was their history with God. However, the descendants of Abraham’s actions weren’t so holy towards God and others…. So He let some fire burn through to purify them in Egypt…The slavery was allowed for them to seek their God again. When times get hard, man remembers that he has no answer or power to deliver himself, only God. Then if wisdom takes over, man calls for God.
When darkness was the greatest in oppression over His people, He showed up as Light- be…..A hope had been put in the earth for the Israelites- Moses…..His light in this earth, representing Him and all His ways and thoughts were transferred through Moses……..The law was given to His people to live according the LIGHT.
Light Be again started with Joshua and the new generation that would move pass the deliverance out of Egypt and enter into the promised land……Light be- They were as grasshoppers towards the darkness, but His Spirit said Light be and overtook the darkness of the land…..His people moved on to their inheritance, but not without some battles of faith…..
Time moves on and so does darkness over the land…. chaos reigns as His people of the land lose their vision and get complacent. The victory over darkness started to diminish as the dark ways started to seep into the hearts of His people…..
The foundation of God’s nation is His word, and when the Word or God is not obeyed, the wall of protection start to crack in any nation. Darkness seeps in like a flood through the cracks. Darkness will again cover the lands…… even the rulers and shepherds of His people were darkened with the veil of lies. They believed the dark more than the truth that the Light brought.
Then He said Light be- anointed a man to who His light would shine through for he was a man after His own heart…..He was to remind the people to heed to His ways and not their own hearts and see how magnificent God is……. Light won …….. for awhile….However, ebb of darkness seeping into His people’s heart has been happening over and over again…Why?
Alas, the heart is deceitful as written in Jeremiah 17:9-10, The heart is deceitful by all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
So as God would send another messenger to shine His light, the earth would reflect the sun shining on men for some years as the noonday sun…… Then there were days untold that even the moon was darkened by the night….. The days turned into years and then when things couldn’t get any darker….. God said….. LIGHT BE!
And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through Him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world, ( John 1 :5-9).
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the Light of the world and spoke the Light into the hearts of men……And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who comes to the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been in God, ( John 3:19-21).
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life, ( John 8:12).
As long as I Am in the world, I Am the Light of the world, ( John 9:5).
Then the Lord preparing the way for us to understand while He went to the cross speaks: Then Jesus said to them, A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light, ( John 12:35-36).
The intention of the Godhead was to have a family full of His Light showing the goodness of God through their lives and blessings and corrections…….This was no surprise to the Godhead that man didn’t follow the Lord with their hearts but their own desires……
So in His plan, He knew that He had to give man a new heart- filled with His Light—- the law and statutes would be written upon our new hearts as written in Ezekiel 11:19-21, Then I will give them a one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. But as for those whose hearts follow the desire for their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their deeds on their own heads, says the Lord God…..( If you want to know abominations that God detests, they are written in Proverbs 6:16-19. I believe all detestable actions that God hates take their root from these seven, even unbelief).
So as Jesus ascended to His throne…..He sent the Promise of His Light to all those that believe….. So He sent His Light to LIGHT BE in His people…… Christ, our hope of glory….. The Light of the World… as He is so are His people……We receive our new heart and our filled with the Holy Spirit….. The Light of the world as the Lord will dwell in the midst of His people as written.
Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance, ( Acts 2:3-4).
The order to Paul, the apostle, from the Lord and to us as His children of Light…..I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me, ( Acts 26:17-18).
Now as the disciples of Christ walk this earth generation after generation, our Heavenly Father is gathering a family of Light……. Calling us out of darkness to LIGHT BE……..Again…. God never ceases from His purpose…For He is LIGHT.
For it is God who commanded light to shine our of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ Jesus. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us, ( 2 Corinthians 4:6-7).
It appears that God has said Light Be over and over as man keeps speaking folly. We won’t repeat the mistakes of the past….Of course, we won’t…..hmmmm… Want to make a wager on that reasoning?
Man has shown to be fools as written, instead of learning from history, we tend to just repeat the same mistakes because we are acting from our darkness and not the Light: As a dog returns to its own vomit, so a fool returns to his folly, ( Proverbs 26:11).
We receive the Light, we must keep speaking Light Be….Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion with has light with darkness?, ( 2 Corinthians 6:14). That does not mean not to witness as it shows us in wisdom to not blend with the world but be a leader, being different as we are–leading them to the Light.
Israel made the mistake of joining the other nations and then the mixture came…..I know when you mix white with black, you get darker color….. mostly gray…..The mixture of their society culture versus God’s will never mix…. God’s light becomes dimmer and there is no showing of His goodness….. Darkness has started to seep into His Light Be, the foundations are cracked…..
As before, time repeats itself in the heart of men. However, in this age, men who have tasted the goodness of God and turn back to darkness, not only grieve the Holy Spirit but bring severity of darkness on themselves.
This is not news to God as He knows the heart of men and how fickle we are…. so He still is speaking LIGHT BE…..Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you, ( Isaiah 60:1-2).)
Now we are His LIGHT BE here on this earth at this time…… if we choose to remain in Him, the Light of the world and deny any darkness…… Remember to be speaking LIGHT BE……. JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIGHT OF MEN…… Come to Him today! Come to the Light, He has taken care of the darkness in our hearts…… He will wash us clean to be as white as snow….. so we may all gather together those that are to walk in the LIGHT as He is the LIGHT.
Now as the darkness is getting darker, there will be another LIGHT BE! God has not kept the growing darkness a secret. It is mentioned over and over again in the letters of the New Testament….. So we get our warning and strength to be bold and full of the Light of God as we walk from glory to glory….We are then witnessing the strength and heart of our God…. He is God of war….. There is even a book written of the wars of the Lord! He is mighty in war and strong in battle….. So His Light Be will BE! He is Consuming Fire—– remember!!!!
What do you think that next step will be in the Godhead’s plan? ARE YOU READY?
Are you ready? For He comes as a thief in the night, when you least expect Him, the LIGHT WILL BE! Then we will see the Light that has been hidden from our sight shine like the noonday sun…. The righteousness of our God within will shine as He is…..
Even so, come, Lord, the Spirit and the bride say come, Lord Jesus, come!
We are ready!!!????? Come Lord- we call forth LIGHT BE! Light in Strong’s Concordance is to set on fire! Hmmmmm……
Amen!
A question for meditation- Will we burn if we go near the sun today? Why? Then contemplate on the One who created the fire ball in the sky, the One who said LIGHT BE!
