Walking in the Light Not in the Veil

Matthew 2:1-12:
I love that my Auntie Gail is currently writing a blog (Wonderings by Gail +) every month. Gail is an Episciple Priest and has great knowledge in the word of God. 
Last month on January 6th she wrote of the Magi and the light they saw. The light that led them to Jesus Christ. There is so much in the details of the Magis in Matthew 2:1-12. She inspired me to write a few notes in response that I would like to share with my readers here. Hopefully this inspires you.


God's continual work is amazing. I am amazed that God is always there despite our weak selves. Or because of our weak selves. The Magis"saw something so incomprehensible, so beyond normal, that they felt compelled to follow." What could compel yet not terrify-a light. We were drawn by a new light in the sky - in the ceilo - the spanish word for heaven. It was written in heaven before the Magis saw the light.

Think of light speed...

The problem with the light is that we are attracted to it. But we must be careful to search and study God's word because Light is neutral. It can be both good and evil. God's light is purely good.
Lucifer means light but as we know he is the distorted twisted good and ultimate evil catalyst for our fall from Eden. Thank God we have our ultimate hope in Jesus Christ our savior and redeemer. We must not grow discouraged in our careful walk through the valley of the shadow of death. It is a dangerous walk we tread because there are archers in the hills and we must get low.

Remember God's light is purely radiant goodness.  However, when this light gets mixed with us humans it becomes impure.  An impure light. And without the word of God we will dwell in the shadowed regions.
We know we must follow with the good news and the good light that will emanate from our communion with God. This light has the power to cut through the darkened veil that Lucifer casts in order to deceive our fallen eyes.
In summary, God's Pure Word lights the path; everything else fails to cut through the shadowed veil.

Points of Light for the Mannishness of Today

We as Christians need to be careful of being too inviting to Islam. There is a war, and we are in it, for Islam sees non Islams as degenerated heretics of the faith. They fight a jihad to bring back degenerated sinners back to the flock through all means necessary.

Man's means are limited and fail to do what the cross does for sinners (who are now accepted by Christ).

We need to fight in truth and love, only through the white light of Christ, will the shadows dissipate and truth will stand purely apparent.  The problem with the Gainesville preacher is that he is spreading hate not love.  Hate begets hate begets hate, sending us outward away from the true relationship promised to Abraham by God.   Hate only spreads a cloud over the truth, a cloud spreads over God, we no longer hear the clear voice of God; for our emotions have taken over.  We are fastened to an emotional cloud that deludes the mind.  

10  Points of Light for the deluded minds of today:

1. Align our hearts in Love to be obedient to the LORD who is there and who cares. 
2. We need to join community groups and churches  that have a backbone based in biblical truth (the word comes first). 
3. We need to get back to reading the bible daily. So we can discern if the Church we belong to is truly biblical.   (I do not mean to do reading out of obligation, but for a love of the truth). If the bible is not center in our worship than we often go astray and do our own things, thinking we are doing what God wants us to do, but in reality the Diabolical Forces are whispering chaotic thoughts into our minds. 
4. We need to get to the basics, back to the reformers like Johnathan Edwards and his  signs of true Christianity.       
5. We need not tolerate antics from amateur pastors who are leading their fifty to millions of  members astray.(Read # 3).  If our church has made our Pastor the God then we need to first confront our Pastor, then if this does not work ask to join another church that is more biblically centered.  We should not join a church until we know that the biblical leaders are centered in the truth of the word. 
6. We need to get back to prayer. (Corporate and Individual).  
7. As well as imprinting the word through memorization of true biblical passages.  God's word found in the bible should be grafted on the front of our minds as we go out into the world.
8. We need to budget our time and our expenses really be stewards of God's gifts, this includes tithing.  
9. We need to grow in love with others who may not see how Christ is the savior.  We must be firm in our understanding, but loving in our approach to others.  
10. We must ask god to forgive our mannishnes the need to put man first in worship and god last in our worship.
