THE LIGHT
Greetings. Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. If we just think the word light as something only physical in the above verse, we just thought an evil thought. Ezekiel 38:10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought. We could conclude it's only one little word, is it such a bad think to think: light to God is something different than what I thought? Indeed, it is, and we do that to every word or verse we see in the Bible. We become so familiar with our own wicked thoughts concerning the Bible and began to trust all of them. Yet, I heard a strange voice in my mind whispering: telling me what light is to God. I believe this lying voice: it’s my mortal carnal wisdom about the Bible; this wisdom is what we are all born with. James 3:15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. The voice of this wisdom is familiar to me, but strange to God, because it was not His thought. Isaiah 29:4 And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust. Genesis 1:4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. We do not know when we are in spiritual darkness, and our darkness appears as light to us. Psalm 139:12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. God divided my thoughts from His, my thoughts are spiritual darkness, and yet Jesus came to be a Spiritual thoughts or light unto men. Ephesians 1:18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. In Jesus light when He becomes our Spiritual head: we are seeing the scriptures through His light or eyes. We are becoming part of His Spiritual body, or a new creature and God words are being created anew in us. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. The new things are the Spiritual meaning of God’s words and my old wisdom about the Bible are passing away. Without our darkness being enlightened we can never Spiritually understand the scriptures. Yet, this is just find to the millions of so-called Christian and they love the darkness. John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. We’re all born into spiritual darkness, no exceptions, yet we think we have God’s light: because darkness and light are both alike to us. 2 Samuel 22:29 For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness. The prophet Job thought he had God’s light, still he was far better that any of us today. Yet Job had enough of God to confess it had to be by His light only. Job 29:3 when his candle shined upon my head, and when by his lightI walked through darkness. Our hearts or minds are spiritually very dark places, and we are not willing to accept this spiritual fact. We automatically think we know our hearts and deceive our own heart. Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Light is mentioned over three-hundred times in the Bible: let us ask the Holy Ghost to shows some of the mysteries of God’s light. Physical light can be used to reveal physical things that are hidden. Most Police Officers, Security Officers, Fire Fighters, and others will know how important a flashlight is in performing their duties. Even Doctors use a flashlights to look down our throats. Spiritually this is what God sees when we open our mouths wide. Romans 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
END OF INTRODUCTION
At Bars sometime around 2:00 AM, somebody would cut on the lights, and how we hated that. Now you could see what other people had on: and that woman you were talking to, did not look as good as you thought. Our light in which we interpret God’s words looks exceptionally good, but it is only darkness masquerading as God’s light. Psalm 36:9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
First of all, have I ever asked God or even realize I must have God’s spiritual light to even began to understand His scriptures.Also, we will look at back at: fountain of life, in another study. I recall I prayed the above scripture for years, and spiritually never understood what I was asking. God heard the prayer of this blind spiritually ignorant servant, and he began to show me my great darkness. Matthew 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! God knew our darkness would be great, thus he sent His only begotten son: begotten meaning Jesus is the thought of God. John 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. Now where is this spiritual light we are promised to receive, and where does one begin to look? The light is the hidden spiritual wisdom found in God’s words. First, we have to spiritually understand it cannot be found through our mortal carnal mind when reading the Bible. Reading the Bible without God’s revealing the spiritual meaning, spiritually it cannot profit us, because we are seeing it in darkness. If we persist in the error of our evil way God allows us to believe a lie: our own wisdom about the Bible. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
PART 1: WHY WE HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
Spiritually we must divide our light or darkness from God’s Great light. Of course, we could never do such a thing on our own; if such a thing was possible we would be God. Genesis 1 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. Unless God reveals the light hidden in His word we have no proof He exist. A few times in my life if I wanted something physical; I thought that if I got it God favored me. This is not the proof that any of us needs: the proof will be when God reveals His thoughts in His words. Then we can declare God is real because we have seen His thoughts in His words. 1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. In our modern times very, few Pastors have never witness the light hidden in God’s word: God never called them to preach or declare His words. They never heardof Him because they heard it their own way or by their own wisdom. I knew I was searching for something in these so-called Churches for over twenty-years and never found it, rather it found me. As the song writer Billy Joel sang: ‘’ It can only be seen by the eyes of the Blind’’. John 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. Jesus is the word and God’s word judges our thoughts; without this judgment we can never be saved. I had visited and sat in Churches all over the country. Matthew 4:16 the people which sat in darkness saw great light. This great light comes in the form of reproof. Spiritually when we reject or disapprove of something it’s mental or in our thoughts. Proverbs 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. When asked by a man about ten years ago, what was grass in the Bible, I replied something people smoke or cut. My answer was spiritually rejected by God’s laws: which are His words in heaven. This next verse is what grass is to God, and not the thoughts of a man. 1 Peter 1:24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away. I could have never given the correct answer because my way of seeing the scriptures was in darkness. I took the correction to my thinking and spiritual light had entered into my eye and revealed some of the darkness in my heart. 2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. Something new and strange had been born in me that day: because I took the reproof. Spiritually we are all dead unless God’s Spirit or light enters our eyes and gives us some of His understanding. Psalm 13:3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death. My spiritual law: or my way of seeing the Bible had been darkness, and I took the reproof and God’s Spiritual light enter into my eyes. Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life. In a grocery store were people come to buy physical food. I had receive what could never be found in millions of modern Church of today: the knowledge of God. 1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. I wanted to know more and was willing to be instructed by two Pastors that God had called. I always felt that there was a more sure word of prophecy: then what I had heard from the spiritually wicked. For twenty- years I rejoiced in men wisdom about the Bible, until I had enough and walked away from a façade marriage and the synagogues of Satan. I didn’t choose God, rather He, chose me to light my darkness. Proverbs 6:23 For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.
