“The People of Light” (II) | Light and Darkness

-



Recap:

Yahweh, the God of Israel, is the “Light” the People of Light follow— the Light of the World.  His radiant presence expels darkness in the mind, heart, and home.  Sadly, for various reasons, the God of Israel is widely misunderstood, even among His own people. 

Myths about God's nature are widespread and diverse.  Normally, they are gradually cleared in relationship with Him.  Though misperceived as prideful,  resentful, uncaring, oppressive, silent, impatient and stern, He is humble, blameless, understanding, joyful, can be spoken to transparently, responsive, pure in heart, a true “friend”, liberator, giver of peace and rest, and One who dispels and hates hate.  Oftentimes, His nature completely contradicts what we human beings think of Him, and His desires contradict what we think they are.



“Render your heart, not your garments.”


Nonetheless and fortunately, God remains who He is, unlimited by limited human understanding.

Upon opening the heart to Him, a person is overwhelmed by His warmth, tenderness, understanding, humility, patience, joy, gentleness, kindness, grace, generosity, and unconditional, passionate, trustworthy, unending love.  In knowing His heart toward you and learning the truth about Him, reciprocating Love in the form of daily praise and worship is a natural response.

When attributed to God, concepts that seem incomprehensible begin to become explainable, logical and simple.  With faith, one gradually grasps with clarity the reality of God's existence as a speaking, willing, and perfect being.  By faith, one gives Him, an individual respective of free will, permission to personally accomplish the impossible in his or her life.  On the basis of experience, the People of Light profess that anyone who acknowledges and loves God receives the fullness of His goodness.  


“...in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”
  



Conclusively, the radiance among the People of Light can be accredited to its source, the God of Israel.  From Him come internally-stored soulical treasures that are untarnished by the wiles of the times.  In relationship with Him is found an unlimited, abundant life.

“The People of Light” (I) | Light and Darkness

In this day and age, it is unlikely for one to be unaware of the suffering being experienced globally.  We all hear the Earth as she groans.  To preserve our sanity, many of us have covered our ears. Situated within suffering is a peculiar body of people whose hope appears inextinguishable.  Within the Earth grimacing at chaos rises a contrasting melodic sound.  With one voice, the people sing songs of joy and triumph, shifting the atmosphere.  Their words and hands share healing.  Their stories of enduring dark pasts inspire.  Even in dire heartache and grief, their recovery is sure.  Their peace remains unable to be permanently stolen.  Despite the steady decline of society’s circumstances, this people declares resolute, “It is well”.  If they have had and are having the same human experiences as the rest of the world, how do they live beyond the suffering? These people are called the People of Light, Children of the God of Israel.  Each carries a ’light’ within that is unexplainable

You Have to Start.

“Fear tries to convince you that you can’t do what you were born to do. It makes you want to run from the opportunity to break that cocoon and enter a new stage of responsibility, showing others whom you were really created to be.”  — Tanänia Reid      I know how it feels to be where you are; afraid of starting. I know that you are scared because, as I write the second sentence of this blog, I am. Regardless, I have to start. You have to start. We have to start making our dreams happen. Time is valuable, and our timidity is expensive. We have too much within us not to give our all, especially to those who need it. The Ultimate Catalyst      The fastest way to get a man to believe is to give him proof of what to believe in. I figure that it would be hard to believe in the wind if nothing ever swayed. Belief in the unseen is born from its physical representation. Therefore, it is impossible for others to believe in the gold within you if it is unseen, bottled up, and tucked away. If

Hi, I’m Light. Welcome to— Introduction  War:- “a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country.” (Oxford Languages) War is synonymous with warfare, and spiritual warfare adopts this definition. Spiritual warfare is an unseen reality of armed conflict in the realm of the spirit; one between the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of God.  “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize].” — Matthew 11:12 AMP Like all wars, spiritual warfare involves violent attacks, plunder, weaponry and casualties. Due to destinies, purposes, possessions and people’s lives being at stake, it is important for those within the Kingdom of God to be knowledgeable about and equipped, experienced and trained in spiritual warfare. Those of the Kingdom of God must have an awareness and be learned on how to engage and be victorious in spiritual warfare. Sadly, victory i
