This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלוהים) says:
The path of life is the path of walking with Me. And who do I tell you that I AM? I am love and I am light. The path of life is the path of Love. The path of life is the path of Light. And that was the first Word I spoke to put you on the never-ending path of light. Life is the light of men.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. John 1:1-5.
I tell you that the plans I have for your life outnumber the sands of the sea and the stars of the sky. How can that be? They span eternity with Me in the Kingdom. They are now and forever. The wonders of your life will never cease.
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, that shines brighter and brighter until the full day. Proverbs 4:18.
And the full day, the perfect day is the eternal day. There is no end to it for there is no night or darkness in all My Kingdom. And that is the Kingdom I give to you to reign with Me forever.
And there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:5.
Walk in the light and do not ever return to the deeds of darkness for I have rescued you from the realm of darkness and transferred you into the Kingdom of My Beloved Son in whom you have redemption, the forgiveness of your sins by His blood. And He is the Light of the world.
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” John 8:12.
You are children of the Light, for if you have taken Jesus as your Lord, He has given you the authority to be My child, a child of the Light. The darkness cannot overcome you. Walk as children of the light.
This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.” John 3:17-19.
If life is the light of men, then the life is in the light, for life is in Me who is love and light, then the well springs of life, the waters of life, must also be waters of light. What light am I talking about? Revelation light that shows who I am and who you are in Me, for all is exposed in Light. There is no darkness in Me for I have nothing to hide or withhold that cannot be seen and known for pure goodness and love have no hidden agendas or corners that must be hidden as harmful. Light exposes all evil and allows no mixture of darkness, in the light darkness must flee. When you turn the light on in a room all is exposed. When you shine a light into a dark place things in there are exposed for all eyes to see.
The first thing I spoke into the void was light. I did not speak the sun, moon, stars, and galaxies into place until the fourth day. What was the light then? Life. The continuum of life. My life. There is no darkness in Me at all. In My Kingdom everything is light. Dazzling perfection of light. The angels shine with light, it emanates from within them, lit by My life in them. And you, in your glorified body, will shine. Jesus in His glorified body, and you will be like Him, for you shall see Him as He is, is radiant with light. My servant John called the Face of Jesus as bright as the sun shining in its full strength. Your physical earthly eyes cannot gaze directly into the sun. When Paul looked upon My risen Son his physical eyes were blinded for three days.
And My glory, My goodness, is revealed in light.
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the LORD will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” Isaiah 60:1-3.
Every good thing given and perfect gift comes down from Me, the Father of lights. And I set each of you as a light in the world darkened by sin.
Do all things without grumbling or disputing; so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, holding forth the Word of life. Philippians 2:14-16.
Lights holding forth the light of My Word. When Moses spent time with Me in My Word, for I gave him the first five books of the Bible, the Torah, to write, his face became radiant. My Word will make you radiant. The more time you spend in My Word the more radiant you will become. If you want to know who spends time in My Word, look for the radiant face.
I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces will never be ashamed. Psalm 34:4-5.
To imitate Me as My dear children, I tell you to walk in love and then I tell you to walk in light. You cannot walk in the light without walking in love, for the one who hates is not in the light but in darkness even now.
Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard. On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining. The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 1 John 2:7-11.
You are made in My image and according to My likeness. Adam walked away from the light and plunged the world over which I had given him dominion and all his seed into darkness. But Jesus, the second Adam, in that Jesus was born of the Word of truth and not from the perishable seed of lies, brings you back into My marvelous light.
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10.
But think about this as well, what happened when Adam plunged the world into darkness, the darkness of lies and the knowledge of evil? His children had no fellowship, one killed the other. They were no longer in the Light. And it went on from there. Evil thoughts, darkened minds, and I only found one man who responded to Me and would enter into fellowship. Noah. And that saved the human race from plunging forever into darkness far at the outer ends of the continuum where there is wailing and grinding of teeth.
This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:5-7.
Now consider this. In the beginning was the Word. All things came into being through Him. And in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot overcome it. The true Light that enlightens every man came into the world. The Word became flesh and dwelt among you and you have seen His glory, the glory of the only begotten from Me, the Father, full of grace and truth. And in seeing Him you see Me. For I am My Word.
Awake sleeper and Christ will give you light. Light and darkness have no fellowship together. Your fellowship is with Me, I have called you to fellowship with My Son, 1 Corinthians 1:9, and with one another.
Are you beginning to see something? In the beginning, I saw the Light was good and I separated the Light from the darkness. Genesis 1:4.
The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light. Those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them. For a child is born to you, a Son is given you, and His Name shall be called wonderful, counselor, God hero, Father forever, Prince of Peace. My Son. Jesus. He brought the Light of life to you.
And what is it? He came to reconcile us by making peace by the Blood of the Cross. We have fellowship through His sacrifice by which I imputed all your sins to Him so there was no division, no darkness, between us anymore. He filled in the breach and gave you the peace with Me in which you now stand. And we have fellowship.
Do you see? The Light of life is fellowship with Me and one another. And then you are walking in the light, for My Word is the light to your path and the lamp to your feet, and there is no darkness hiding your true motives and heart from others. You are walking in the light of My love which I pour in your heart by My gift of the Holy Spirit—the love of Me, your Father, the grace of your Lord Jesus Christ and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit which unites us in My Word.
It all comes down to My Word again. And when you remain and continue and abide in My Words and they abide in you, we have fellowship. For fellowship is sharing your deepest thoughts of the heart with another. And My Spirit shares My deepest thoughts with you. And true fellowship can only happen when two are in agreement, where two are like minded, when they are both in the Light.
Light and darkness have no fellowship with one another. But the good thing is that if you let the Light in, it will drive out the darkness. Fellowship with Me in My Word is the best and quickest way to get out of the darkness into My own marvelous Light. The Light of life. My Word will light up your life with truth, beauty, peace and righteousness. My Kingdom of light is one of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. You will go out with joy and be led forth by peace. All by renewing your mind with My Word.
Put on the armor of light and the helmet of salvation. Let your mind rest in My Word and it will drive out the deep darkness of fear, worry, jealousy, confusion, hate and lust. Do not let these things even be mentioned among you. Ephesians 5:3-4. They drag you out of the light into the darkness and if the light in you is darkness, how deep the darkness will be.
But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. Ephesians 5:6-13.
Have you ever noticed that an offensive or threatening word from someone can knock the joy right out of you and plunge you into darkness? Either of resentment, offense and anger or of fear and doubt about yourself or your future? Do not fellowship with these thoughts. They are from the evil one who wanders about trying to pull you out of the light into his realm of darkness. Be aware of his tactics and do not be taken off guard. Fight back with the Word, the Sword of the Spirit, quickly to keep your heart in the light. Know that I am present as your helper and I will not let you be tried beyond your ability, that I will give you a way out, that I will vindicate you, that I will help you wherever you go. But you must stay in the light of My Word, for light and darkness cannot fellowship together.
If you stay in fellowship with Me, you are quick to detect the darkness and the sin that has entered and you confess it immediately, and My Son’s eternal Blood will cleanse you continually as fresh and new as the day it was shed, for it is an eternal sacrifice made once for all time for all people. It continues before Me as an eternal Word outside time. My Words never fall to the ground, they continue forever, constantly renewing the face of the earth. And constantly sustaining the universe. And Heaven itself, My Word is established forever in Heaven.
My Words will never pass away. Is it not best then to remain in My Word and refuse to employ any others in the house of your mind?
The one thing necessary is to fellowship daily in My Word, with Me and one another. Then you will be open and transparent, as radiant as the dawn, and there will be no guile in you. My Word is the quickest way to clean out your inner business of the heart and to be transferred from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of My beloved Son, who is Light and gives you the Light of life. Fellowship with Me.
If you have no hatred or guile in your heart there is nothing you need hide from Me or others.
The realm where Heaven and earth meet is My Word that comes down to you by My Spirit in the written words of the Bible and that realm is light. For in Heaven there is no darkness, no night, only glorious, clear, marvelous shining Light. And that can be the Kingdom within you if you have filled your life with My Word. Jesus.
Have you received (lambano is the Greek word translated as “receive” in the New Testament, but it is more aggressive that you generally view the word “receive,” it literally means to actively receive as if taking hold and not letting go) Him as LORD? That is the first step into fellowship with Me in My marvelous light. Life for the light of men. Let Me light your lamp and illumine the darkness around you with My Word. There is no other way. It all comes back to the Word that made everything and was with Me from eternity. For I am My Word. And I am love and light.
I love you. Let Me see your face, let Me hear your voice, for you are lovely and your voice to Me is sweet. Fellowship. That is what pleases Me best and that is what life is really all about. Without it, there is darkness, lonely darkness. But it does not have to be that way. I am with you if you seek Me. Fellowship is there for you. I have called you to it. 1 Corinthians 1:9. And that call leads to My glory. 1 Peter 5:10.
