They have "cherry picked" a few scriptures out of context that
appeal to the flesh, but do absolutely nothing in regards to transforming the
spirit! They just "adjust to the darkness." What about the next verse
in 1st John Chapter 1
"If we walk in the light as He is in the light...the blood of Jesus
Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."
What if we don't walk in the light then? Simple—the Blood of Jesus will not
cleanse us from all sins!
You can join any church that you want to join! You can get yourself dipped,
dunked, sprinkled, confirmed and blessed. You can do the Walk to Emmaus, the
Purpose Driven Life, or do three Hail Mary's and five Our Father's —but if your
life is not reflective of the Glorious, Transforming, and Holy Word of the
LIVING GOD—then you are a LIAR and you do not know the TRUTH!
When the Apostles of Old penned the words that we call the Bible under the
direct influence of the Holy Spirit, they did so with the expectancy that those
who read these sacred writings would see, live and experience the same type of
walk that they did.
They PREACHED a message of HOLINESS because they LIVED the message of
HOLINESS.
They PREACHED a message with POWER because they LIVED a message of POWER!
They PREACHED a message of BOLDNESS because they LIVED a message of
BOLDNESS!
What message are you living? Or have you just simply stepped out of the
light and "adjusted to the darkness?"
The thing about "adjusting to the darkness" is that you are able
to convince yourself that you can still see!
Sure, the detail is lacking and you may have to squint to make out
something, but at least you are not totally blind! Sin is okay with allowing
you to live the illusion of light just as long as you never step into the
light!
I am asking all of you who are reading this to ask yourself the same thing
that I am having to ask myself every single day as I expose myself to the light
of God's Word: "Holy Spirit please have mercy upon me and reveal to me any
area where I have adjusted to the darkness."
Job 34:21-22 declares, "His eyes are on the ways of men; he sees their
every step. There is no dark place, no deep shadow, where evildoers can
hide."
It is time to raise the standard and walk in the measure of Light that the
Lord Jesus has revealed to us through His death, burial and resurrection and
cease from the deceitful snare of "adjusting to the darkness."
Amen brother, well done and so true!
