“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14 NKJV)
The battle will rage when light and darkness collide. The only true light in the world is the light of Jesus Christ. The world hates Jesus! When believers get this down in their spirits, they will develop tougher skin. Those who represent Jesus must have tough skin and not take persecution from the world as a personal attack. It is not personal; it is scriptural! The world is not supposed to glove you when you love Jesus. When believers allow resistance and rejection from the world to get them down, it is a sin before God!
Paraphrasing what Jesus said, He made it simple:
“Who do you think you are? You are not greater than Me! They hated Me, and I created them—I AM God! Do not be moved when they hate you.”
This is the commandment of the Lord. Light cannot commune (be comfortable with) darkness. No matter how good things may seem or how nice people may be, if you are a child of light, darkness will always oppose you. No matter how much you try to harmonize, there will be a screeching sound of discord in the spirit. We have Jesus on the inside of us, and demons will always be uncomfortable in His presence. When we step into a place, we bring Jesus with us. There are places where people do not want Jesus around. We should not be alarmed when we are barred and even kicked out of cer- tain places. The power of manifested light in a dark place is a good thing. It reveals to the people that they are in darkness.
It is a glorious thing when the children of God come together to let their light shine. When light connects with more light, the power of God is manifested in the earth realm. The koinonia of God flows fluently in the midst of the saints. This is why the anointing of the saints increases with numbers. One can put one thousand to flight, but two . . . ten thousand! Koinonia promotes partnership, communication, and a balanced distribution among the people of God. It is a social intercourse that takes place to give birth to the will of God in the earth realm. Real communion causes God’s glory to radiate in the midst of a dark and lost world.
There is something awesome that takes place when God’s anointed ones gather. We gain ground in the spirit, and the Lord has free course to move. On the other hand, because of negative agree- ment there were some places where even Jesus could not heal the sick. When we fellowship with people who are not children of light, we get stuck in a spiritual limbo. To be in limbo means to be caught between. (Kimberly Daniels – Spiritual Housecleaning).
Light and darkness cannot agree.
The Lamp of the Body 11:34 , 35 pp — Mt 6:22 , 23 33
“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.
34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness.
35 SEE TO IT, then, that the LIGHT WITHIN YOU IS NOT DARKNESS,
36 Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”
That is the whole essence of being a partner/friend/associate to PHOTIZO MINISTRIES”.
We are admonished by the Lord, TO SEE TO IT that there are no darkness within us.
Our righteous responsibility!
Then we shine out! Illuminate others!
