always exist. It does not want us separated
from it, for it knows it will be no more, if we
overcome our trials and return whole to the Kingdom
of Heaven. It wants a war. It wants to overtake the
Kingdom here. Those who join this army of darkness
willingly in the days to come, truly are from the darkside.
God knew of this war to come. He knew once Eve ate
of apple causing man awareness of the darkness,
darkness would want to keep the power it attained.
Those who do have this unshakeable Faith in God,
darkness is well aware. The stronger we are, the
more darkness wants to manipulate. Because the
strength of this Faith, threatens the power it is
trying to build.
The only way to counteract this abundance of
corruption is by building a bigger army
through God's word and gathering his lost sheep.
This is what Jesus was referring to when he said, "
"For this reason I say, if the owners of a house
know that a thief is coming, they will be on guard
before the thief arrives and will not let the thief
break into their house (their domain) and steal
their possessions. As for you, then, be on guard
against the world. Prepare yourselves with great
strength, so the robbers can't find a way to get
to you, for the trouble you expect, will come."
But as for the the lost sheep; Darkness wants to
keep separated from the Truth. Leading them astray,
manipulating through misery that the darkness itself
has caused, feeding on their vulnerability having
them question, "Who is God to allow such misery?"
If only we all realized the simplicity in believing,
if there was some way to give a "pill of foresight"
to all God's children as a way of foreseeing
consequences thus acting to maximize the long-term
common good; how simple it would seem enduring
these cloak and dagger trials in each of our lives.
So God calls instead on those who bravely stand in their
strength of Faith to shine their light. As that
beacon of hope, that pill of "foresight" to
enlighten those whose spirit is in need; those who
were led astray into the darkness while searching for
answers. Your shining light lets that
lost lamb escape from the darkness they found
themselves ensnared in.
We are all the gatekeepers;
the keys to enter the Kingdom to eternity. Without all of us,
banded together, the Kingdom is not whole and none can
enter. That is why Jesus referred to the ninety nine
in the left hand (meaning the ones who have repented
already) becoming whole (we
