Light

I John 1:5-7: “And this is the message that we have heard from Him and announce to you, that Elohim is light and there is no darkness in Him at all! If we say we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and are not doing the Truth. If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Yahusha Messiah(Jesus), Elohim’s Son, cleanses us from all sin.”

John 8:12: “And Yahusha spoke again to them saying, `I am the light of the world, he who follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but shall possesses the light of life.”

2 Corinthians 6:14: “What fellowship has light with darkness?”

Genesis 1:1-4, 16-18: And Elohim separated the light from the darkness…

From the creation of earth, His first act was to bring forth light where darkness had ruled, and to separate the light from the darkness.

Proverbs 4:18-19: “But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn that shines brighter to the full day. The way of the wicked is like darkness. They do not know at what they stumble.”

He gives us a clear choice--walk in the light, or struggle in the darkness. We can’t do both. What is sad is that most of His people, walk in darkness, and stumble, because they do not allow the Spirit of Yahuah to teach them His Word. If we try to walk in a mixture of light and darkness, it is guaranteed that the darkness will extinguish the little light that we have, because the human sin-nature loves darkness more than light (John 1). 

From Ephesians 5:8: “For you were once darkness, but now are you light in the Master. Walk as children of light… verse11 and have no fellowship with the fruitless works of darkness, but rather reprove them… verse 13 For all things being exposed are manifested by the light …”

Daniel 2:22: “He reveals deep and secret things. He knows what is in the darkness and light dwells with Him.”

The whole world lies in darkness/wickedness because it is controlled by the prince of darkness--the “god of this world," which is satan.

Those that love this world live in Satan’s darkness, making themselves enemies of Elohim.

James 4:4; Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with Elohim? Whoever therefore intends to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of Elohim.

I John 2:15-17 Do not love the world nor that which is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Because all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the desire of Elohim remains forever.

Yahuah only claims the children of light as His children! Make no friends with the world system, for it is part of the dark kingdom that seeks to ensnare Yahuah's people in their trap. The darkness is getting darker, so our light will be more obvious.

From I Thessalonians 5:1, 4-9: “Now brothers, as to the times and the seasons, you do not have to be written to…you brothers are not in the darkness that this day should overtake you as a thief. For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night, nor of the darkness. So, we should not sleep as others do but be watchful and sober-minded…but we who are of the day should be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the expectation of deliverance, because Elohim did not appoint us to wrath but to obtain salvation through our Master, Yahusha Messiah.”

I Peter 2:9: “You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a set-apart nation, a people for a possession, that you should proclaim the praise of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvellous light!” 

Are you proclaiming the praise of Him who died and rose for you? There is no light for those who are not truly born again by faith in the blood of Yahusha for the removal of sin and right-standing with Yahuah. “Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin.”

Leviticus 17:11 ‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your lives, for it is the blood that makes atonement for the life.’

Hebrews 9:7, But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for sins of ignorance of the people. Verse 11-12 But Messiah, having become a High Priest of the coming good matters, through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, entered into the Most Set-apart Place once for all, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood, having obtained everlasting redemption. Verse 18  Therefore not even the first covenant was instituted without blood.

Without the blood of the Lamb of Elohim we are hopelessly lost. By His taking our sin, we are set free to live in the Light of Elohim. Your light within your spirit is a restrainer of darkness! You hold the light in the temple of your spirit, if indeed you are filled with the Spirit of Yahuah.

The light repels darkness.

Take Messiah’s warning seriously! Don’t let your light go out!

Revelation 3:15-22, the assembly of Laodicia. They are lukewarm--a mixture of hot and cold, light and darkness. They are content to live in a mixture. But, Abba will allow no mixtures in His Presence!
