IN GOD'S LIGHT WE SEE LIGHT

For with You is the Fountain of LIFE;

IN YOUR LIGHT DO WE SEE LIGHT. [John 4:10, 14.]

(Psalm 36:9)

Realize that without God, Who is Light,

We could not See that which is actually LIFE,

For God is both Light and LIFE;

Apart from Him everything is Dead and Dying.

Christ Jesus said this:

I AM the Light of the World.

He who follows Me will not be walking in the Dark,

But will have the Light which is LIFE.

(John 8:12, AMP)

Those who do not know Christ Jesus;

Who do not have Christ Jesus living in and through them

Are Subjects of the “god” of this Age, Satan,

Who has Blinded their eyes.

Listen to the apostle Paul describe this reality:

If our Gospel (the glad tidings) also be Hid—

Obscured and covered up with a Veil

[That hinders the knowledge of God]--

It is Hid [only] to those who are Perishing,

And obscured [only] to those who are spiritually Dying,

And Veiled [only] to those who are Lost.

FOR THE GOD OF THIS AGE HAS BLINDED THE UNBELIEVERS' MINDS

(That they should not discern the TRUTH)

Of the Gospel of the Glory of Christ, the Messiah,

Who is the Image and likeness of God. [God in visible form]

For what we preach is not ourselves [merely]

As your servants (slaves) for Jesus' sake.

For God Who said, LET LIGHT SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS,

Has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth]

The Light for the Illumination of the knowledge

Of the Majesty and Glory of God

[As it is manifest in the Person and is revealed]

In the FACE of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. [Gen. 1:3.]

However, we possess this Precious Treasure

[THE DIVINE LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL] In[frail, human] Vessels of earth,

That the Grandeur and Exceeding Greatness of the Power

May be shown to be of God and not from ourselves.

WE ARE HEDGED IN (PRESSED) ON EVERY SIDE--

Troubled and Oppressed in Every Way;

But not cramped or crushed;

We suffer Embarrassments and are Perplexed

And unable to find a way out, but not driven to Despair;

We are (Persecuted and hard driven) Pursued, but not Deserted--

To Stand ALONE;

WE ARE STRUCK DOWN TO THE GROUND,

But never Struck Out and Destroyed;

Always carrying about in the body the liability and Exposure

To the same putting to Death that the Lord Jesus Suffered,

So that the [Resurrection ] LIFE of Jesus also may be shown forth

By and in our bodies.

For we who live are constantly [experiencing]

BEING HANDED OVER TO DEATH for Jesus' sake,

That the [Resurrection] LIFE of Jesus also may be evidenced

Through our flesh which is liable to Death.

Thus Death is actively at work in us,

But [it is in order that our] life [may be actively at work] in you.

YET WE HAVE THE SAME SPIRIT OF FAITH as he who wrote,

I HAVE BELIEVED, AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN.

WE TO BELIEVE, and therefore we speak. [Ps. 116:10.]

Assured that He Who raised up the Lord Jesus

Will raise us up also with Jesus

And bring us [along] with you into His Presence.

For all [these] things are [taking place] for your sake,

so that the more the Grace (Divine Favor and Spiritual Blessing)

Extends to more and more people and multiplies through the many,

The more the Thanksgiving may increase [and redound] to the Glory of God.

Therefore we do not become Discouraged--

Utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through Fear.

Though our outer man is (progressively) Decaying and Wasting away,

Yet our Inner Self is being (progressively) RENEWED day after day.

For our light and momentary affliction

(This slight distress of the passing hour)

Is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving

For us an EVERLASTING WEIGHT OF GLORY--

Beyond all Measure, Excessively Surpassing all Comparisons

And all Calculations,

A VAST AND TRANSCENDENT GLORY AND BLESSEDNESS NEVER TO CEASE!

Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen

BUT TO THE THINGS THAT ARE UNSEEN;

For the things that are visible are TEMPORAL (brief and fleeting),

But the things that are INVISIBLE are Deathless and EVERLASTING.

(2 Corinthians 4:3-18, AMP)

Be always on the Watch,

And pray that you will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,

And that you may be able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)

This World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
