Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

GOD IS LIGHT - ALL ELSE IS DARKNESS



April 3, 2017
God is light
By Dan Popp

We're often told that "God is love." But John, the Apostle of Love, didn't give us that statement until Chapter 4 of his first letter. He started that Epistle with an equation we don't hear much these days: "God is light."

    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. (1 John 1:5-7, NAS95)
Why is this important? Because many of the people telling us that "God is love" mean something other than love, as described in the Bible. Real love does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth (1 Corinthians 13:6). If you love Me, Jesus taught, you will keep My commandments. (John 14:15)

False love is disintegrated by the whisper that God is light.
In the Bible, as in everyday usage, "light" is a metaphor for different things: factual knowledge, life, blessing, wisdom, and so on. But it usually seems to be connected with goodness, righteousness, and truth.

    This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God. (John 3:19-21)
Jesus makes a promise to us: I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life. (John 8:12b) Conversely, it must be true that those who "walk in the darkness" of willful ignorance, false doctrine and sin are not followers of Jesus, no matter how many decades they've attended church, how much money they've given, or how large a ministry they may have.

We simply cannot follow Truth and live in error.
Let me hover for a moment over this topic of deadly doctrines masquerading as Life. The psalmist never sang, "My group's doctrine is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Jesus shot blistering rebukes toward those who substituted the dim candle of tradition for the blazing sun of Scripture. No, the unfolding of Your words gives light.... (Psalm 119:130a)

To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because they have no dawn. (Isaiah 8:20)
And the sure light never changes. It doesn't "evolve" with the social fashion of the times. It doesn't waver in the slightest to accommodate human weakness and rationalization. Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. (James 1:17)

Maybe "God is light" comes before "God is love" because we need to know it first. We need to understand – truly believe, down to the marrow of our bones – that we are sinners, before the concept of a Savior even makes sense to us. 
We have to accept that we are darkness before we can become light.
    For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:5-10)
"God is love" is an important truth (imagine if Muslims could say the same!), but it's only a subset of the revelation, "God is light." His love springs from His goodness and righteousness and truth
Those who reject His light reject the love included in that light.

My comments: Every Christian should understand that everything outside of the "LIGHT" of God and His Word, is DARKNESS.
