Redemptive Light Shines Forth

The Redemptive Light Shines Forth in this world. We know darkness cannot comprehend it. The Light of Jesus Christ gives life. That life is eternal. It is amazing countries like China fear Christianity. Muslim nations also fight Christianity. The power of Christianity is in the people but not of the People. Gods power for Christians connects to the cross of Calvary to those found in Christ. Governments since the inception of the Church at Pentecost have worked to stop the faith of those found in Christ Jesus, Yeshua. The Roman empire tried many times. In the end Christianity took it over. This light is even being thwarted and downplayed in America. This nation is seeing darkness take over.

Redemptive Light Shines Forth

“A Journey for those who look into the Whirlwind of these Last Days! Bearing the Cross in the War of Ages where Faith is the Victory that overcomes the World.”

“By God’s grace, we endure from faith to faith; day to day and pass by from trouble to endurance to an overcomer!”

“Heralding the Truth of God’s’ Word!”

Redemptive Light Shines Forth

This power flows through His Spirit, and His Word. This Power of Christ is found in Christians. They follow Jesus Christ. Today Christianity is found in places where to be a believer can bring persecution or death. You can imprison, kill, beat, and persecute Christians. But you cannot imprison, kill, or destroy the power that God has given Christians. It comes through sonship. As we received Christ, we were given power to become the Sons of God! Awesome! Yet China fears this power! However, the communists in China are not alone. Many nations find such struggles going on in their own country.

A SENIOR Chinese official has claimed Christianity is being used to “subvert” his country’s national security – and vowed to root out the “stigma of a foreign religion” in a sign of the increasingly fierce rhetoric which is characterizing the debate. Express.co uk

China has an ancient cultural heritage. Today China sits as one nation divided by faith. Chinese officials fear that their heritage. The target of the governments fear has been religion, especially Christianity. China today has one of the largest populations of Christians on the planet. According to Fenggang Yang, a professor of sociology at Purdue University, told The Telegraph of the increase of Christianity in China. 

Yang predicts that China, which had over 58 million Protestants in 2010 according to the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion and Public Life, will have around 160 million by 2025. This would mean China will probably be ahead even of the United States, which had about 159 million Protestants in 2010. Christian post

China is now at war with Christianity. The question who will win this battle over the China we see. The communists or Christianity. Force, itself, and stubbornness of Communist officials may seem to win the day, but in the end the Lord will have His way in China. In the context below we find the word “Light” which is Strong’s Greek 5457. This word means a “Literal luminousness!” This was manifested to the world! Christ reflected his Father to the World. He did so in word, deed, and miracles. His love possessed the reflective love of His Father.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

John 1:1-5 Redemptive Light shines; Darkness Comprehends NOT!

In the context of the True Light, we find in our reporting on Christian persecution worldwide that leadership, government controls, and opposition to Christianity are providing hotbeds of hostility. Yet, God continues to move. But we see two forces at work. One is satanic darkness that is pervasive, controlling, and persecuting. The other is an exhilarating, saving, Redemptive Light. This Light is the Word incarnate, the Light of the World. He is the Son of God and our Father. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Son of God, the true Messiah! Jesus [Yeshua] Christ came as that Light of God. It shone into the darkened world. Even His own people, with the law, the promises, and roots to Abraham and Moses did not know who he really was.

He was the Luminousness of the Father to the world
Light of Men; a literal luminousness manifest to the world.
Light: G5457 phōs  foce
From an obsoleteφάω phaō (to shine or make manifest, especially by rays; compare G5316 and G5346); luminousness (in the widest application, natural or artificial, abstract or concrete, literal or figurative): – fire, light.

Redemptive Light Shines Forth | Greek, Strongs G5457

Further we find darkness, Strong’s Greek 2638; meaning that the world was a place where darkness inhabits the world and takes nothing of the light. Powers of darkness opposes light, yet it cannot stop the light. As in Christs Power we find that, radical Islam, sharia law, Chinese officials, persecution, and even prison or death cannot stop His light. Nothing can stop what the Lord is doing to rescue those who really want the truth.

They did not Comprehend nor understand the Light

Comprehended it not; that darkness which inhabits the world seized upon, taking eagerly nothing, of which the Light was!

Comprehended: G2638 katalambanō  kat-al-am-ban’-o

From G2596 and G1983; to take eagerly, that is, seize, possess, etc. (literally or figuratively): – apprehend, attain, come upon, comprehend, find, obtain, perceive, (over-) take.

Greek, Strongs G2638 Light

In Judea and the time of Rome’s rule; the Lord was here on earth and he battled as a light amid the darkness. Many of the common folk saw, heard, and believed on Him. He was in the world. The world knew him not. He is the Light that shines in the darkness. Darkness comprehends not. People in darkness do not understand. Neither do they know him. This is true for China, the Muslim nations, the Europeans, the UK, and even in America.

 Those separated from God by Sin lived in obscurity from the True God

Those; shady, obscure and separated from God by Sin knew not God nor His Son, neither could they know him by the world’s wisdom!

Darkness: G4653 skot-ee’-ah

From G4655; dimness, obscurity (literally or figuratively): – dark (-ness).

Greek, Strongs, G4655 Darkness

Yet many today who are believers, were enemies of Christ. Just like the Apostle Paul who formerly persecuted the church. Paul became a believer after an encounter with Jesus Christ. Paul was never the same! Today we report regularly of the growth of Christianity. One truth is that former Muslims become staunch Christians. Many times, it connects with redemptive experiences. These include visions, dreams, and miracles. For these, they received the Messiah Yeshua; Jesus Christ our Lord. Just like the former Saul known today as the Apostle Paul. The Bible says, “as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God!” 

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

John 1:10-14 KJV Redemptive Light Shines

It is into this end-time we find ourselves. Evil persists, evil man’s rule continues, nations persecute Christians, and in America an unbelief is pervasive here. We have huge churches, riches, stuff, fancy houses and cars. We are an unhappy lot. Visit any social media site, read any newspaper, and watch any news show on the internet or tv or radio. You will find evidence there is a divisiveness in this nation. It is borderline hysteria, unbelief, hatred, and even murder; all of which are in the people in this nation.  Evil exists in America. Evil exists in the nations of men. 

The True lesson of the John 6, feeding of the five thousand

Jesus knew what he would do. Now Philip is that same person in John chapter one [vs43-48] that went to get Nathanael. Philip knew that Jesus was the Messiah, written about in the Prophets and Moses in the law. He, meaning Philip was a believer. Yet when questioned about this bread, he missed the real point. The issue is not where you would find bread, something to eat! Any need at all; is not a worry! Knowing Jesus is good and well, but did you know he can do miracles? He can do them for you. Not only you but for a huge crowd. In the human strength or power, that is impossible. The proper thing is to go get some donations. Then go buy food. Go to feed people. There is a place for ministry, getting food, and distributing to the needy. 

And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

John 6:3-7 KJV Redemptive Light Shines

The problem is as believers we are so busy believing the truth and being practical; we miss the supernatural. Jesus would feed five thousand people with little or nothing. No one could do this. It would be foolish to try. So, the world thinks. But after the miracle occurred, the truth was clear to those who truly watched and heard and saw this miracle. Jesus is the Bread of life; not only of salvation and redemption, but he is Lord overall. He can provide when it is impossible. 

Thus, Jesus wanted to prove Philip [and the other disciples as well]. He wanted to test, to prove, discipline, examine.  Jesus wanted to pierce the daily human provision and existence with the miraculous. Through this the Lord proved to Philip the reality of miracles. It would pierce the heart and soul. It would cause many to examine their beliefs and thinking. 

How many times do we, just as Philip look at things from the flesh? How can we feed without food! How can we have food without money? How can we meet this need without something carnal like money, power, riches, etc.? 

Proving to Philip of the truth of the miracles. We also must pierce through the hardness of the world. To reveal to people that Jesus Christ is I AM. He is the WORD of God.  Truly he is the Resurrection and the Life. Christ Jesus is the Savior of the World.  He came as the Lamb of God.  As the Son of God, he was also the Almighty. In Him we find the Alpha and Omega! In Him, all things are possible!

The lesson is, “In Christ, all things are possible.” The power to save, deliver, and the power to heal!  Literal power to do what we cannot! 

In the foreign nations we find Christians try to stay alive. We find many in jail.  Others dying for their faith.  But there are miracles. These believers understand miracles can happen. They work in very treacherous areas.  Here Believers fast, pray, and believe. The Lord moves mountains for them. These Christians don’t live in the comfortable safe environs of America and the western nations. While we have problems here, there are many evils. So far persecution and death for being a Christian is not usually a big threat here. We become comfortable. We want to buy our way out. We want a doctor, a lawyer, a store, or a nice church. Thus, it is easy to lose that vital energy of believing faith. Faith that produces in you the desire to fast, pray, and fight darkness. Hoping through Christ Jesus; a miracle will come your way.

In the days ahead in America or around the world, fence sitting will not cut it. You may find out you really need a miracle to have food to eat. There are a million and one scenarios here that could require a miracle. What I am telling you is this. A redemptive light now can shine brightly in your life.  The darkness will not comprehend it. Yet many in darkness find Christ Jesus! How, because his power is miraculous. The Lord searches the hearts and reigns of all people. He will save to the uttermost. His miracles will continue as he honors his children with faith. Those tenacious believers who believe that in Jesus all things are possible.

Your choice is simple. You as a believer already know Jesus [Yeshua] Christ. Now believe in Him for all your needs. Even if it requires a miracle! You may need a miracle such as the ones we are reporting on now. The witnesses are there. Christs Power is real. Your Lord of Glory doesn’t stop redemption because China cracks down.  Turkey wanting a Caliphate won’t stop the Lord.  Iran stepping up persecution will not stop what they fear!  Further, any Sharia law nation that continues its push against Christianity will not stop the gospel. The common theme in all these is fear. Darkness cannot understand that efforts to stop people from being Christians will not work. The fact is, people still become believers in the Messiah Yeshua, Jesus Christ.  All over the globe, people are coming to the Lord, now step up and believe!
