When the Light That Is in You Is Darkness . . . How Great Is That Darkness

September 8, 2009

Jesus Christ is the light of the World and His Word is a lamp unto our feet. Jesus Himself warned us there is light in the World that really isn't. Its a pseudo light one that many call Jesus but it isn't truly Him. Jesus warned this light is actually Darkness and and it is a great darkness indeed. True Light dispels darkness it brightens our surroundings in order that we may see clearly the obstacles Satan sets in our paths, all of which appear as light or a solution to problems in our lives. Other names for this darkness is leaven. Leaven Jesus says are lies that the ministers of darkness who present themselves as ministers of light use in order that those who hear them will be stunted in their true spiritual growth in Christ. Those that listen to these lies are taken captive by Satan and made twice the demon of hell as their teachers.


Darkness, leaven, heresies will infuse their way into the child God has called and begins depowering and aborting the Life and Light of Christ inside those who listen and believes the lies. Jesus said a little leaven leavens the whole lump. It takes those who could be saved and gives them false hope and the horror of it is the deception that they believe its of God and that God is blessing them and they become one that then calls good evil and evil good.

In the Garden of Eden was two trees; one The Tree Of Life, the other The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Once God was disobeyed and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was partaken of, innocence and purity was gone shame and sin entered in. Envision this tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil. Its fruit is Darkness. Yet the fruit comes in a variety of shapes. The Knowledge of Good is the fruit that unbeknown to many is destroying any chance of them entering into the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom ,God says; is not in word but in power and it is the righteousness, joy and peace of the Holy Spirit. Its this Power that is required to grow from a Babe in Christ to a Son of God.

Gods Word tells us to not give heed to the philosophies of men...yet many adhere to psychologies and philosophies and call it of Jesus and call them good. Others believe doctors and medicines are good, the solution to their problems and that God works through them but in fact He works in spite of them. Gods Word states simply That By Jesus Stripes We Were Healed. Yet many believe that God needs the help of man. Proverbs says it best..There is a way that seems right unto man the end of which is death. Many things that are darkness are birthed out of the Knowledge of Good. Does this mean to stop taking medicine, no it means to learn Truth in order to discern what is good and evil. And if something is contrary to Gods Word and His Promises and we are still bound in those areas as a solution we should, once we know the Truth, confess those things as sin and begin allowing the Light of Truth to purge the darkness of the world and its god satan false solutions out of us and allow God to Make Us Free With His Truth

The Galatians knew the Truth but then allowed false teachers to turn their hearts to another gospel yet not another gospel but the Gospel of Christ perverted a Jesus plus something else false solution. Paul asked who bewitched them that they no longer believed Truth. And Paul went on to say that he travails again in birth until Christ be formed in them. To the same group of brethren he wrote about the works of the flesh which listed sins that are birthed out of both the knowledge of good and the knowledge of evil. All Darkness that infuses a baby Christian will stunt their spiritual growth. The purpose of growing in Truth is that the Spirit of Christ the Living Word of God is formed in each of us. It is this Anointing (Christ) that breaks yokes in our lives and is the power of God that grows inside us by His Seed (Greek: spermos) Gods Rightly Divided Word God. It is written That Christ is the Wisdom and Power of God. This power is needed to overcome the Wicked One Satan. Its this Power that makes us grow to become Sons of God...In John its written...To as many as received Him to them gave He the Power to become the Sons of God even to them that believe on His Name.

The Church no matter how much intellect it possesses of the Word lies in a state of Powerlessness today because so many leaders infuse Dark Leaven into their teachings. Everything outside of Faith is sin and I cannot have Faith in things that are contrary to Gods Truth just because I want to use them as a crutch and call them good. There is a goodness in the world today that cheats its possessor out of the true knowledge of God and True Faith in Jesus Christ. And it travels on the wide path to hell.

The biggest error is that God needs mans help in areas He truly doesn't yet in areas we are commanded to do, much of the Church doesn't with the excuse it is waiting on God. God doesn't need help healing us though He does does expect us to pray anoint and lay on hands with love empowered faith. And He does expect us to obey His commands without hesitation; Feed the Hungry, Give Drink to the Thirsty, Clothe the Naked, Take in The Strangers, Visit the Sick, Visit the Prisoners and take care of the Orphan and Widows in their afflictions. And Preach The Word making Disciples of all people.

I believe the summation of Gods way is that we meet others needs and He meets ours, as we Love others as Christ loved us.
