Verse of the Day - John 8:12

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." ~ John 8:12 (NIV)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was at a funeral recently, where a woman got up to eulogize the deceased. Yet, she began to talk about a spirituality that was completely foreign to me. I just sat there in confusion. New Age followers talk about their inner awakening and enlightenment, and other personal mystical experiences, and I just walk away, thinking, Huh? I didn't understand a thing they said . . .

Spirituality without the Creator God is darkness, despite the claims of illumination and enlightenment. We are in the dark if we believe that we are divine within ourselves, and that somehow if we reincarnate enough times, we'll arrive at our God realization. We are in the dark if we believe that the stars and the rocks and the trees are all divine, and somehow we can be one with all things if we meditate and channel. PLEASE, SOMEONE TURN ON THE LIGHT --- IT'S PITCH BLACK IN HERE!

Humanity is so prideful, that we have elevated ourselves into thinking that we are God. We've swallowed "hook, line and sinker" the lies from the father of lies about who we are and who God is. News flash: God is God, and we are not. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and we are not. That is the light switch!

I pray you can turn to Jesus and trust Him only to provide light on spiritual understanding. Please don't be fooled into thinking that you have what it takes within you to attain oneness with the universe or arrive at any form of godliness without Him. Satan loves to confuse and deceive and conjure up all sorts of myths to darken people's minds. Don't fall for his schemes. Listen, instead, to the One who came from Heaven -- God in the flesh -- Jesus. He really does have all the answers, and can provide you true understanding and peace. Let Him shed real light on your darkness.

Love,
Joelene
