What is the Light?

Isaiah 45:7

I am the Lord, and there is no other.

7

I form the light and create darkness,

I bring prosperity and create disaster;

I, the Lord, do all these things.

The light is perfection, purity. The light is brought into moments by those who serve it by its authority. God formed the light, and from it came awareness. The light is perfect wisdom. Any awareness that comes from perfect wisdom is complete, and trustworthy. That awareness is what is called Truth.

The Creator either offers the light or takes it away. Darkness is what there was before the light. Existence without wisdom, relies solely on knowledge and instinct. The darkness is an existence without recognizing or understanding perfect wisdom. If we have been shown wisdom and become aware, we must choose to embrace it. If we deny what we become aware of, it is taken away. It is worse to have known wisdom and deny it, then to have never known it.

John 8:12

12

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Awareness must be applied in the present, acted on. Recognizing with faith, that the life we carry forward is the Spirit of Truth. We act on what the Spirit of Truth supplies us in the moment, as it is the same holiness that is expressed in eternal realms. All that comes from the Kingdom is divine, and as the life in us is of Christ, he is witness to it, and the Father with him. Life is in the present moment always, and the light of life is the wisdom of that authority.

What wisdom can we find when we prosper, that is the same when we are facing disaster?

The Lord spoke unto Isaiah and said that He places both prosperity and disaster in front of us. And we know that the light of wisdom shows no favoritism. So we can consider this, and become aware that both prosperity and disaster are ways that the Lord brings understanding to us. The understanding always honors the Father's will, which is to increase faith in His Authority which is the life that is Christ which we carry forward.

Human knowledge and human wisdom is similar to mapping out a dark room with stumbling feet and out-stretched hands. Whatever is revealed by the flesh in the moment is meaningless, and whatever is gained is meaningless. This is what prosperity and disaster have in common, the end result of both is that life with faith is a poverty of the soul. We are spiritual, bound in an existence that we must look beyond to embrace its truth.

So what of believers and followers of the Truth, what is God's purpose for them?

Having awareness that guides us to act in ways that honors the unseen qualities of holiness, is our goal. To remain steady in the present moment, becoming reliant on the guidance and council of perfect wisdom. This is how we go forward. And our hope is based on it. That we can honor the authority of Jesus, of whom we are a part of, and whom also  lives within us. We can only do this by setting ourselves aside, as our nature is to rely on our senses, our human knowledge and instinct. We have been shown the light, and must learn to rely upon it.

Matthew 5:15

15

Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

-

As the Body of Christ, which is the Body of Truth, we are the stand which carries the perfect wisdom which brings awareness. Our actions are what fills the room, meaning, others are witness to it. Bringing understanding to the following: Where the light is, darkness cannot remain nor can it linger.

Faith in the perfect wisdom, and action on its understandings my spiritual family. Rest all your hopes on service of Truth, by the authority of Christ in your acts.

Amen
