The Seeker


I saw a fun movie the other day. Called "The Seeker." In it was a great analogy about the need for us to know who we really are, and just what power we possess.
Also the power struggle between light and darkness.
There was a very good scene in it that beautifully portrays these truths:
"In Him was life, and the life was the Light of Man." 1John 4:9
"And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness does not ccomprehend it." John
I read the definition for the word used for comprehend ,in the original language: KATALAMBANO: seize, comprehend, overcome, gain control of, perceive, lay hold of with the mind, quench, extinguish, snuff out the light by stiffling it."
Guess what folks- the darkness can't do any of the above to the Light.
"And this is the message that we have heard from Him and declare to you-
That God is light and in Him is NO DARKNESS at all."
Smith Wigglesworth, (a name that Bowden and I think is funny)
said this about that, "Let the Holy Spirit be light in you to lighten even the light that is in you, and no darkness will befall you. You will be kept in the middle of the road."
Why walk in light?
So you know where you're going! AND
"And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.."
and so that you are not lost(wandering in darkness, without God) or lonely(without deep, meaningful, relationship) " We declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with Jesus Christ, His Son." 1 John 1:3
So that you can walk in the destiny divinely planned for you: Prov. 4:18
"But the path of the just is like the shining sun, shining even brighter unto the Perfect Day."
And HOW? Transparent lives, accountable for wrongs, to God and someone else: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.'(darkness)1 John 1:9
" If we say that we have fellowship with Him (that we are in relationship with God), and we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ ,His son, cleanses up from all sin."
