Let me tell you in one sentence the plot of this newsletter. Here it is, “walking in the light, stepping in darkness.” The two phrases here “walking in light” and “stepping in darkness” are contradictory, they present an impossible situation. How can one be walking in light and yet end up stepping in darkness? It is a Paradox, something that is absurd or contradictory. From the standpoint of simplicity, let us say this occurs in America. For your own application, it can actually be anywhere in the natural world. In the spirit world where many today believe are light beings, truth, and a pure light of love that beams over you as you travel from your body to your spiritual destination there is that which is unnatural.

The Spirit realm is unnatural; the world we live in is natural. But between them both we will find light and darkness, good and evil. There reigns in the spiritual realm the battle goes on 24/7 and is never-ending. The goal is to reach the beings living in the natural world with redemption. But the warning here is, there are rebellious dark spirits that oppose the truth. Of course that goal of redemption is only an eternal one with true rewards if it is presented to you by the Father of spirits, i.e. our Heavenly Father who sent his only begotten Son, Yeshua Ha Massiach to die on the cross for your sins. In the truest essence the battle has been waged since Satan was thrown out of heaven for his rebellion. The battle is Spiritual and reaches into the eternal. For those who live in the natural, the spirit can be seen as light, although the beings trying to reach you are actually themselves in darkness and do not know the truth. They have deceived themselves, are incapable of redemption, and project a light and a lie for others to follow. That light and lie, coming from this spiritual realm is darkness that will send your soul to hell. It does not deliver you into the presence of the Father with repentance and the knowledge of the Son of God who died for you.

Eph 6:12- For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalm 119:105 NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

The wrestling Paul speaks about is not against human forms of wickedness, although they are there and used by spiritual wickedness to do their deceptions and evil. The wrestling Paul talks about is in prayer, through the Spirit of God, In the name of the Son of God and takes on the dark spirits of rebellion that bring their rejection of God to mankind. Men, though, in ignorance today follow many gods, idols, meditations, and other ways that are meant to produce a blissful state, to quiet the soul, and make you think it is truth. Sure, the soul of men can be rested in this way, also taken over, and even seduced. In this Satan can then bring his light of deception with his own brand of miracles and supernatural occurrence’s to convince men that what they are doing will bring eternal rewards. The rewards however are not good enough to bring you into Gods good graces. Far from it, they are rewards for your rebellion and rejection of the truth.
