The Light Within

The Light Within

by Pastor Roy Esposito

“Any outward manifestation of power without inner transformation first isn’t really super-natural but super-human.” — PR

 

Genesis 1:26

John 14:12 — Belief in Jesus: the pivotal point of transformation

John 14:16-17 (Passion Bible)

 

A “Quickening” — an acceleration of events about to take place on the Earth.

 

Romans 13:12 — “cast off — put on”: a transformative act

 

Darkness – (Greek — Skotos) — Ignorance with regard to the Divine.  Implies a consequence of misery and ruin as a result.

 

Armor — (Greek — Hoplon) — An offensive tool or implement of war.

 

Galatians 5:22 — The fruit of the Spirit

Romans 12:1-2 (Passion Bible)

2 Corinthians 3:16-18 (Passion Bible)

 

“Whatever part of us that isn’t fully submitted to the “light” will remain in darkness and be subject to the motions and ruin that accompanies it.” — PR

 

1 John 1:5 — “God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all.”

 

Albert Einstein — Theory of Relativity

  1. If you could travel at the speed of light you would live forever.
  2. Matter can’t travel at light speed and remain as matter.
  3. It’s particles would break up and move in line with constant light and take the form of light.

 

Genesis 5:24 — ” And Enoch walked with God and he was not for God took him.”

 

Einstein’s conclusions:

  1. Light is constant
  2. Light is the only constant
  3. Light is the only unchangeable thing.

 

James 1:17 — “The Father of Lights” — no variation or shadows caused by turning

 

Light — Phos — a constant, self-generated light that never varies or turns aside.

 

Malachi 3:6 — “For I am the Lord, I do not change.”

 

The “True Light” — the living, pulsating life-force of God’s Presence in all creation.  The continuous, non-variable flow of the Spirit.

 

Hell — Living the reality of Skotos/ Darkness — felt as much as seen.  An “awareness of being dead.”

 

Encouragements:

  1. Hell is a location that must be intentionally chosen. It is not the destination for God’s kids.
  2. Only God has the power of life and death; over Heaven and Hell.
  3. Jesus took the keys of the fear of death and Hell back from Satan. — Revelations 1:18. Hebrews 2:14-15
  4. We have a “bright” future! — Isaiah 60:1-2, 5
