We're going to start with understanding first,we're engaged as we battle throughout our lives daily in this world. It's in Ephesians 6:12,For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.The Bible is very clear on the existence of spiritual warfare. Peter warns us in 1 Peter 5:8, "Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour." Believers battle against the devil's schemes daily and it's a spiritual battle, not a physical one. We are the children of God, so lets awake from sleep walking, open your eyes people. Read Luke 11:34,Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. In other words you're spiritual dead, again awake from sleep walking. We have to get understanding about "Light and Darkness", "Sin and Forgiveness." In 1 John 1:5, This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. The truth of the gospel is what sets people free. Satan attempts to blind people from that truth. It says in Ephesians 4:18, They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Wow, how can you reject knowledge? It's when you reject the Word of God. This means that where there is no instruction in the Word of God, then the people will walk in darkness, blindness and eventually be destroyed. Read (NIV) Hosea 4:1-6, Hear the word of the LORD, you Israelites, because the LORD has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: "There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land.There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Because of this the land dries up, and all who live in it waste away; the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea are swept away."But let no one bring a charge, let no one accuse another, for your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.You stumble day and night, and the prophets stumble with you. So I will destroy your mother my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. "Because you have rejected knowledge", I also reject you as my priests; because you have ignored the law of your God, I also will ignore your children.The key word here is "My People", The people did not simply lack knowledge; they actively rejected it, no faithfulness, no unconditional love and no acknowledgment of God. Have you abandoned your first Love (God)? Ask yourself are you rejecting God's (Word)Truth? Come on people, you have been giving another day, another chance to trust Him. Can you hear the Lord calling you? According to the Bible, God has “called us out of darkness into his marvelous light.” It is this marvelous light that we see in the face of Jesus Christ. Not only does he call us to be light in a dark and troubled world, He calls himself the “light of the world.” He is a living light that shines over us and ahead of us. Satan's main goal is to prevent people from hearing the good news about Jesus. The message of forgiveness offered through Jesus Christ sets people free. We are blessed to be able to make mistakes and still obtain God's love and forgiveness. Just as we should with people, after saying you are sorry you must ask to be forgiven and forgive others. There is no special prayer you have to pray to earn forgiveness from God. All you have to do is ask him to forgive you, through Jesus Christ, and believe that he will forgive you and it's done. Thank you Jesus ! The good news is that, no matter how serious the sin maybe, God is always seeking us out and is willing to forgive and forget our sins and give us a fresh start. As long as we live, it is never too late to ask for forgiveness and make a new start also with others. Understand this, The Day Is Nearer To Come" in Romans 13:11-12, And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Amen. Heavenly Father, we cry out " Abba Father" help us to be more like you to forgive others. Help us Lord to understand that the hour is nearer. Thank you Lord for Loving us and making away for us to see you again. Amen !

Scriptures to Meditate on this week :

Ephesians 6:11-17,Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
