----GETTING RID OF DARKNESS~

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the world: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
--- (John 8:12) bible

--If you wanted to get rid of darkness in a room, how would you do it? Would you curse the darkness? Take a broomstick and try to beat the darkness out? Grab a shovel and shovel it out? Or a vacuum cleaner and suck it out? How are you going to get the darkness out of a room?

There’s no way except one: turn on the light. Just turn on the light. The darkness cannot stand the light. When Jesus comes, darkness is going to go. It has to go! And when it goes, everything that loves it will go with it. What a day it will be when Jesus comes and all the wicked, vile, filthy things in the spiritual world flee His light!

When we're faithful, when we live as a Christian ought to, everywhere we go, we’re making manifest the deeds of darkness simply as we let our light shine.

-Don't have any fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness! We're to walk in the light; there is to be godly fruit, godly fellowship, and godly faithfulness as we “walk in the light as He is in the light..”

[When a person receives Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they no longer desire the things of this world. Jesus does an inside work in you, to desire those things that are 'spiritual'. A true Christian has been 'born again', not of the flesh but of the spirit. (John 3:3-7). We live to give glory to Jesus, not self.
You say, 'But I don't want to lose my friends.' Who would you rather have, Jesus with eternal life, or worldly unbelieving friends? The choice is yours.

"If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his Cross daily and follow Me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.
For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits his own soul?
'For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels."
--- (LUKE 9:23-26)
--We must die to self and live for Christ. We are on this earth to give glory to our Lord, and lead others to Christ. Let's get busy! Time is growing short. 'Even so, Come Lord Jesus.' ~~

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
