May we keep from darkness, may we keep from evil.

Joh 3:19  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
Joh 3:20  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Joh 3:21  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

We've been studying from the book Daniel and Revelation for quite some time now. The information in it is astounding, but it's so incredibly much to absorb. I'd be lying if I said I knew it all by heart. I won't lie, I have to study and study and study over and over again, endlessly. There is just so much there to comprehend. We are almost to the end of the book of Revelation and the revealings prophesized are many. We know a lot of things have come to pass and a lot of things have yet to come to pass. 

We have to realize that men love darkness, they LOVE darkness!  They LOVE darkness because their deeds are evil- this is TRUTH!  Whenever any of us do deliberate evil, whenever any of us do anything against our God, against love, we choose evil over good.  We don't want our evil known, so we hide it in darkness. Or…

…. We try to convince ourselves that our evil is light, but it is NOT and never will be!

Men don't want this truth! People don't want to study this truth, they don't want to know the prophecies and the reality of the future and the fact that there will be an end to evil.

Isa_5:20  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 

We must pray that our God reveals any evil in our lives to us so we can forsake that evil! We must seek light, truth!  So much evil is hidden under society's acceptable standards. May God bless us, and keep us in Him, in His truth! Help us, Lord! Please, help us.  Be all that we can't be for ourselves. Be our salvation, be our righteousness!

Help us forsake darkness, forsake evil.

By Your GRACE, YOUR MERCY, YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, YOUR EVERLASTING LIFE!

In the name of our Savior, now and forever, in His most holy name, Jesus Christ our Savior, the only begotten of the Father!

Amen.
