What is Light . . . in the Spirit world
We are called to be a light......but that is only a picture....not something real.
So it is with everything spiritual. It is a realm outside of our physical realm. A place we cannot see.....we cannot touch. We here in the developed part of the world have very little if anything at all to do with this spirit realm.
Sure.....we have heard about it and probably believe it exists......but as far as living or experiencing this realm to a great degree is rare.
Truth be known, life in the spirit is the place to be. Why is it then that we are not there? The answer is simple.....we don't need it. We live in a world where we work for what we want. Sure, we like to pray and ask God for help when we are in distress.....but what does it mean to walk in the 'spirit' ? What does it mean when we say He is 'Lord' of our lives?
I am as guilty as the next one......is He actually Lord of my life.....or is He just another who comes and goes depending on the day or my disposition that day?
Lord speaks of commander......King.......Ruler......something majestic.....powerful......I don't know what kind of meaning that word has in your brain......the point being.......is He THE One.......or one of many? ( to whom you listen to )
In my life......it is a fight. The 'many' seek to drown Him. The 'many' seek my attention.
What is the big deal? Christ has made it clear........if I am not Lord of your life......you will die. Yet......we cannot touch Him.....cannot feel Him......cannot see Him.....
How is it possible to ward off the millions of voices screaming for attention and allow this invisible One to rule our lives??? Is this not the task? Life is speeding up. Information is growing at a crazy rate.......yet where is Christ???
He is the same place He has always been........just sitting in the chair in your room.....waiting silently. Occasionally He may whisper your name.....but that is about it. He has given all......it is just a matter of will we believe it or not????
As soon as we believe.......the invisible becomes visible. Not by a prayer.......but when we believe.
Light dispels darkness.....light always wins over darkness. We are to be a light.....to reveal Truth......to allow Christ to do whatever He wants with our bodies...our lips our hands.
Will you......or are you......a light?......or are you just a shadow? Someone who agrees with everything just to keep the peace. There is so much information available.....which means there is so much deception all around. Are you someone who sheds light on God and His ways......or maybe.....possibly......you yourself are indeed searching for Truth??
Allow me to speak to you for a moment. Christ has come to give us life and life more abundantly. He has come to make us overcomers. He has come to make us victorious over darkness. If your life is one of ups and downs and falling and getting back up.....repenting yet again......you are one of many.
However......that is not the life that Christ desires for you. (or me) (or anyone) He has paved the way and given us His life to live before Him in purity and holiness right now in this sinful evil world. We do not need to fall and go back as so many will tell you.
He has given us His power to live a pure life.......not for a day or a week......but till the end of our days.
My prayer for you is that you will not be satisfied with anything less. My desire and I trust yours is similar......is to have my life glorify my Maker. If I keep falling back in sin my life is a disgrace to my Maker.
When I allow His power to flow in me and cause me to be an overcomer.......now He is glorified in me.
Isn't that beautiful??
May you set your eyes on the invisible and allow Him to be Lord
