080910 @ 0008: How is it that I should sin against you daily, in thought, in word, and in deed; how is it that daily I should not fulfill my part of the covenant that I agreed to when I accepted the Sacrifice of Jesus as my own; how is it that I should begrudge you, deny you, offend you, revise you, dishonor you, lie on you and to you, refuse you, steal from you, water you down, and put you in a box, and even belittle you? And yet you find me worthy to bear your name, worthy to come before you and boldly enter into the Holy of Holies without fear of reprisal, worthy to carry your message to those who don’t have it, worthy to represent you as your emissary on earth, worthy to speak and act in your name and KNOW that it WILL be done, worthy to bear witness, and give witness to the most pure love ever known, worthy to share in the inheritance of the One born to sit upon the Throne of Mercy as Lord and King over ALL, Worthy to be “privy” to the mysteries of God, your Kingdom, and your Son; How is it that you find me worthy to sit in High places alongside the King of Glory, high above all powers, principalities, rulers, and authorities? How is it that, though there is no house that any man can build to house you, you find pleasure to dwell inside of me, and have made me your Holy Temple on earth? How is it that, the wretch I am, you call me as I am, because you see me as more than I am (in Christ), and by your grace you have made me all that I am? How is it that you find me worthy to be a son of God? If not but that I should KNOW your grace and love did you even make me aware of who I WAS; fore all that I am, and how you see me, is only because of He who dwells within me, it is His Spirit that transforms me that I might reflect His very Nature. For this my Lord I shall love you always, and serve you all my days. In Jesus’ name. Amen

"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. (Therefore) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good (Righteous) works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matt 5:14-16)

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him (the Light) might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He (the Light) was in the world, and the world was made by him, and (yet) the world knew him (the Light) not. (Jn 1:1-10)"

Jesus came into the world as the Light of men, to enlighten men by revealing the TRUE Father to them that they might comprehend His great love for them and they might repent and turn from their wicked ways and turn to Him who is their true Father. While He walked the earth He revealed the Father’s face in His life and lifestyle. He sent back his Holy Spirit to dwell in men that they too might reflect that same light and be beacons of light in this darkened world for those who seek to return to the light, and for those who seek to KNOW the light but previously did not know the light. Now that Light dwells within us, and as candles burning in a darkened room, the light we radiate cannot be hid; else it is starved of life and die. We are to let our little light shine so as to light the world around us; we are to be the Light of men that they might see that light and be drawn to that light, IF indeed they truly seek that light, that the full number chosen might be filled.

"But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world (and all that is of him) now stands condemned." (Jn 16:7-11)

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God (The Light of men). And this is the condemnation; that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the Light, neither cometh to the Light, lest his deeds should be reproved (and made known). (Jn 3:18-20)

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life; No one comes to the Father except THROUGH Him (Jn 14:6). HE is the LIGHT of men, and lights the path of Righteousness for which men to travel lest they be deceived and lead astray and no longer travel along the narrow road (the road to Righteousness)(Ps 23:3, Pr 8:20, Pr 12:28), nor enter through the narrow gate (which is Christ)(Matt 7:13-14).

Therefore, let us Shine on! To the Glory of God; be of one mind in the Spirit of Christ, being lead by that same Spirit in all our ways, drawing men of seeking hearts unto the Truth through the bold witness of our life and lifestyle as we daily submit to His Sovereignty by dieing to self and overcoming all obstacles from glory to glory by the Power of His Mighty Spirit moving within us and through us radiating the active living Word of life that He has planted with our hearts and upon our minds that we should never forget, nor be overtaken by that old nature that was replaced by His Nature when we were born again of His Spirit and Nature. Lord have your way with us; order our steps in accordance with YOUR will that we may, not might, but may, to the increase of the Kingdom of God, be found pleasing and acceptable to you in all our ways. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen

The devil is a toothless dog on a rampage. But he continues to bark and snarl and intimidate all who don't know the truth.

But don't underestimate his tactics; once he has seed planted and that seed takes root, especially if those roots are deep, he is dificult to extract. I did not say impossible, for NOTHING is impossible for God; and if God is on our side - who can stand against us? I simply stated that the deep rooted seed of darkness is difficult to extract. I am finding that very true in my mother. The devil has had her bound to him for so long that that even when the truth stands before her, she cannot see it; and the devil continues to do to her what he does best, steal, kill and destroy.

But his days are numbered, her salvation is assured, and all the damage the devil has done to her has been undone; and though the manifestation of that healing is not YET apparent, I EXPECT it soon will be as he releases his hold in the name of Jesus, and bows to the authority of Christ Jesus.

Pray for peace within her, pray for forgiveness, pray for release, pray for healing, pray for the love of Christ to shine through her as she brings glory to the King in these last days. Better yet, Give thanks for all of this, that the good work God has started in her will be and is completed. She has been redeemed from the curse by the spilled Blood of Jesus. In Jesus' name. Amen
