How bright does the light shine out of you? 7 Feb Home Group (ver3)

· Jn 1:1-5 Darkness can't coexist with light, nor can it overwhelm
light/ invade in where light is.

· Gn 1:16 The moon was created to rule over the darkness, though it
doesn't have its own light (like the church and God)

· So 6:10

· Rev 3:14 à 2 Cor 1 :20 à Jn 1:18 The moon testifies of the suns
light àPs 89:38 Like the sons of God/ Bride of Christ do of God

o Like a full moon; There's less evil/crime and it's romantic/love

o Act 26:23 à Mt 5:14-16

§ Our light must shine, but how will people see our light if we say the
word is our light

§ What will determine what moon you are (full, crescent, new)

· By your actions/deeds

· What culture is your lifestyle

· What is your source of provision

· Do you live out God's kingdom economic or worldly standards

· Where is your trust/security

o Your possessions/money VS God the Father?

o Things of temporary value or things of eternal value?

§ Jesus Came as a light of a world

· We must be a light that's not to bright for the world – driving
them away, yet attractive enough to draw them to our culture

· We are in the world but not of the world

· By our habits/culture/lifestyle/deeds – is our light determined

· Your mindset determines your behaviour

o We say at new year's resolutions what our yearly priorities are yet,
later on we see nothing has changed

o Your behaviour patterns determines your priorities à And your mind sets
determines your behaviour

o If you wants get rid of bad habits, change your mind set Rom 12

· How do we change our mind sets (Eph 1:17,18); FLOOD YOUR HEART
WITH LIGHT

o The light enters by your ears not your eyes

o The letters in revelations doesn't say "He who has an eye to see", but
"he who has an ear, let him hear"

o Ja 1:18-25

§ Receive the word with gentleness/humility/softness à since that word
will change you

§ When we start to become a doer of the word, because of all the light in
your heart, you are actually working in your true nature, which is the image
and likeness of God, which is a life of obedience

· 2 Cor 4:4 As soon as we realise that we were created before the
earth's making to be a son of God and were created in the image of Christ,
the enemy blinds you from this realisation; to keep you away from knowing
what your true nature is.

o Then enemy wants to ensure that you don't flood your heart with light
because he is darkness

o That's why he keeps you away from anything that will change you

o Traditions that are actually extensions of satan's evil kingdom, the
keep one from changing

o Believers with guilt because of their sin, are crippled by the enemy
through the guilt – which he does in order to keep them passive/inactive

§ Hence we're not to focus/concentrate on our sins, but to focus on His
light

§ The word doesn't separate you from sin, but sin from you;

§ God takes you to a certain place where sin cannot stand à eventually to
the Most Holy of Holy where not even illness/ death can be

§ There's a position (measure of the fullness of Christ) in Christ to which
God leads us;

§ Don't let sin keep you captive, we can't focus on overcoming that sin,
but we must focus on God's light, and He will remove the sin from us by our
position in His presence.

§ God separates you from sin, He will elevate you to a position where sin
can't touch you

· Pr 4:20-24 There is even healing in God's word. Death is in sin,
Ps 107:20 it's God's will and this is a part of His order. He is almighty,
but H e won't go against His word – it's a complete package, and healing is
a part of that

· Is 58:8 Where does that light shine à in our soul, since it's our
soul that determines our behaviour

· 2 Tim 1:10 how did Jesus get rid of death, by bringing light,à
which was proclaiming the Gospel/ Good news of God's truth

o The more light in you the more Godly immunity you have

o The more light, the more healing

o Be obedient, even unto the obedience of Christ, how was Christ obedient?
Unto death. Death of what? Death of the flesh. When Christ blew out the last
breath of His flesh He said "It is finished", since we must have the same
obedience Christ had.

· 3 Jn 2

· How does your soul prosper?

o By reflecting light

o When we start doing good, ministering, giving out – we are reflecting
God's light, like the moon does of the sun.

§ We reflect light through our soul

§ Our soul will either reflect the flesh or God's Spirit

· Eph 5:5-8 & 13-16 Don't waste time – manage your time

o What moon are you

§ We don't want to be a lightless moon

o If we look at the process of Going from Egypt through the wilderness
across the Jordan; what do we see a barrier before us or a safe secure
boundary behind us

§ This is the purpose of introspection

· Where do I stand in my process of sanctification, discipleship

· Jesus is our Jubilee and has given this ministry of reconciliation
to His bride that we can return all people to their true Father and
believers with their inheritance which is here on earth. He has set us free
using son and father disciples to reconcile all people who have been set
free to possess their inheritance

§ We must know where we stand, so that we can know what kind of food (baby
or solids) we need.

§ It is a wonderful privilege to know we can be free from tragedy without
mystical superstitious Christianity

§ The word says if we have enough light in us, it will release us from sin
and sickness as we grow into a purer realm, since we're not part of this
worlds systems...
