By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Colossians chapter 1:
12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
FATHER did the delivering and transferring out of darkness. HE is the ONE WHO qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance for it was not of our own ability. Disease and sickness do not have any place in the Kingdom of HIS dear Son so let us no longer accept anything from the kingdom of darkness as being normal or a part of our walk. Old habits can no longer control our lives so let us embrace those actions springing forth out of the life which now reside on the inside of us. We are of the light! Let FATHER’S WORD from Isaiah chapter 41 sink in:
10 “Fear not, for I am with you;
Be not dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you,
Yes, I will help you,
I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
Challenge anything in your life which did not originate from FATHER or Love. Assess your habits to see if they no longer apply to your life. Let not the old things weigh you down so as to hold you back from fully walking in the light. Accept the change and only retain what is useful and necessary to walking in the light. Get rid of the “stuff” in your life which is a constant reminder of the old man. Behold all things are new.
Quit looking for acceptance from those who have been withholding it as a form of manipulation and control. FATHER accepts you and delivered you into HIS Kingdom so quit worrying about being acceptable to the “darkness” found in men or women who were once esteemed in some manner. They must work out their own salvation. Make Isaiah 41:10 part of your daily “washing” until you fully realize, accept, and walk in the Truth contained in those Words to you. Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 8:
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
The Beloved Disciple wrote in 1 John chapter 4:
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.
6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
It is imperative that we no longer accept and aspect of darkness in our lives. We have the means to discern and reject the darkness no matter what form it takes. FATHER gave us The Holy Spirit to help in this area so let us walk in THE SPIRIT and constantly move toward the Light and at the same time reject the darkness which would consume us if possible. Let the Truth of the Word in the above passages give us assurance that FATHER will strengthen, help, and uphold us as we are challenged by the darkness. We have been delivered!
