Great Facts, Great Truths and The Light of God

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. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. 1 John 1:5-10 NASB

Having awakened, approximately 18 years ago, from a 25+ year slumber one begins to realize how time is the real enemy. What was learned some 16-17 years ago is just now being put to use and is playing a larger and larger role in life. Yes, we could allow the enemy to whisper “loser” in our ear for taking all this time, or we could simply look to the Father, smile and say we lift Your name above all names; we adore You and with great thanksgiving bow before You.

While going through the process of the Steps in AA you hear about the “Spiritual Experience” the great transformation and all the wonderfulness awaiting on the other side. You also hear about the tragedy, the heart break of making / taking another Step. We look back and have a good idea of where we were but can’t seem to see the “end”, the “destination”. Why? Because there is no point of arrival; only more steps.

Along the Way, those with the capacity to be gut-level honest, we are granted glimpse’s of a future life. We walk through the pain, the suffering and with each passing Step, it not only gets to be easier it becomes so much more of a struggle. The enemy is roaming around. The enemy sees another soul turning back to God and shining a beautiful Light in the darkness.

God will constantly disclose more to you and to us. Ask Him in your morning meditation what you can do each day for the man who is still sick. The answers will come, if your own house is in order. But obviously you cannot transmit something you haven’t got. See to it that your relationship with Him is right, and great events will come to pass for you and countless others. This is the Great Fact for us. Source

As the Light continues to grow brighter in our lives the enemy begins roaring louder and louder, or so we think. The enemies “voice” never changes only our ability to hear it more clearly. As the Truth grows in us our ability to hear lies grows stronger. We must take great care to avoid following, telling or living in lies as that is the realm of the enemy. When a lie manifest in our lives we must be quick to confess them, repent of them and, where necessary, make amends immediately.

Abandon yourself to God as you understand God. Admit your faults to Him and to your fellows. Clear away the wreckage of your past. Give freely of what you find and join us. We shall be with you in the Fellowship of the Spirit, and you will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny.

May God bless you and keep you — until then. Source

Either the Gospel is divine inspiration, the Word of God teaching us how to live and how to be a reflection of Him, or it’s nothing more than a historical account of events.
