                         Light Cleansing                                         

1 John 1:7

But if we are living in the Light of God's Presence,

just as Christ is, then we have fellowship with each

other, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us

from every sin.  (NLT)

     Living in God's Light is a far cry from living in the darkness that most people are trapped in and don't even know it.  Living in darkness is just another way of saying that you are indulging in the evil, sinful things that separate us from goodness and glory of God and His Light—that you would rather live for the moment, enjoying the pleasures of the flesh rather than living for God in righteousness.  Most people who live in this darkness cannot give up their sinful ways, nor do they really care about what lies beyond this short life.  It is our fallen human nature that leads us into this darkness and in many cases, it kills us before we can get out.  This life is short and before we know it (if we make it that long) we are old and wondering where the time went.  And without God's Light we are also left wondering if this life is all there is, and if it is, what a cruel joke it has been. Most people spend their busy lives just trying to survive without much thought of death until it hits close to home, and then they only ponder it for a bit before putting it on the back burner for another day. 

     The Light of the World has been shining for over 2,000 years and is still lighting the Way in this dark world today, even though its future is looking bleaker every day.  The dark forces that rule our world have tried their best to put out this Great Light and have failed miserably.  The Good Hope that God's Light brings into our dark world has the power to transform even the darkest life into one that is like a bright shining city on a hill, glowing for all the world to see.  The Saving Son Light of God is the only Light that can resurrected what is dead.  He is the only One who can give us a new life that far exceeds anything this wicked world can promise. Step into His Light, my friend, and bask in its healing Power.  For when you do, you will wonder why you waited so long!

                                      A Whisper of Hope       

Step into the Light, My child...and forever be changed.  Your life will take on a new meaning and it will never end.  You will see this world as it truly is.  The darkness that surrounds you will never again hold you captive to its evil ways.  You will be free!

Isaiah 5:18, 20

Destruction is certain for those who drag their sins behind them,

tied with cords of falsehood.  Destruction is certain for those who

say that evil is good and good is evil; that dark is light and light is

dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.  (NLT)

                   God is coming to destroy your enemies. 

                        He is coming to save you.  

                                         (Isaiah 35:4)
