How Great is the Darkness.

By this we can know that the Darkness really rules this world. The bible even goes as far as proclaiming satan " The god of this World." It gives him that status and Power. Now thats a very powerful status. In Eph. 2:2 this thing is called " The Prince of the Power of the Air." Now Gods word is calling him a Prince, and comparing his Power to the very Air we all must breathe in order to survive.

This is how much Power this thing has, its influence is like the Air, its everywhere, and cannot be avoided.

But let me show you why the bible says this thing is so Powerful, and who gave it this Power. Which also explained to me why I cannot break loose from its Power.

Peace.

I belong to the kingdom not of this world, so the prince of THIS world, has no hold on me.

Well good for you, you are very fortunate indeed. But not me, I do not belong to Gods Kingdom and I am subject to satan. I don't like that, but its just how it is for now. I don't know how to force Gods hand, I can't make God do anything, I don't know how to manipulate him into setting me free. So I accept what he has done to me, and I am honest about it.

I'm stuck in this Darkness, so I may as well learn about it while I am imprisioned.

Peace.

Maybe you should stop trying to make God do what you want Him to do and do what He wants you to do.

Perhaps that is the place to start and perhaps when you do you will no longer be in darkness.

Frankly, Mickiel, when I read your first post, I thought you were in depression. Was I wrong?

I wish you well.

Oh no, I am alright, because I know and understand my place God has me in. I am not a King before my time. I am in bondage, still in the flesh, and still subject to the ruler of this world. My identity is not confused, my heritage is not threatened. I have no need to lie about what I am, no need to live in an elaborate illusion.

I am a sinner who has not met his true God, only the god of this world. I am carnal, sold into sin. Why me saying these things would make a christian inscure, I have an ideal, but it matters little to me who is threatened by my situation. I get depressed from time to time, I am not immune to depression. I just understand what it is like to live without God, and I am explaining it. I am expressing what it is like to be in this Great Darkness.

Its truly a situation that could not only cause depression, but maddness. 1John 1:5 says that God is Light and that there is no Darkness in him. I am not like God, there is Darkness within me. An evil streak that manifest itself whenever it wishes. I better understand Paul when he said he does things that he does not want to do in Romans 7. He said it is no longer he that is doing it, but the sin that is in him. I understand that, because sin lives in me.

And I want to go into that.

Peace.

Do you really think that the great and powerful God is just sitting up there every day taking request after request from us little self indulged race of an insignificant species within this massive universe?

If you are anyway lucky you have about 70, maybe 80 years on this little blue planet, you should get out there as enjoy it. God created this world, have you seen any of it? You want to show that you love your God? Go tour and see his magnificent work and see what he created. Live the life he/she gave you and stop putting so many demands on God about the things that you want.

There can be no light without darkness, so stop looking into the darkness and look into the light.

I don't know you, I have not asked for your advice, I don't know why you are compelled to give it. I do not adhere to the party tonight because tommorrow we die mentality. There is no wisdom in such reckless abandon, other than to feed the senses. You know nothing of me, and I am not inclinded to share myself with you.

'But I will share what it is like to be in the Darkness.

Peace.

If God is our Father, then are you not my brother? Surely you must know your brother. As we are create in our father's image, are we not the same?

‘Other than to feed the senses’ is this wrong? God gave us 5 senses, so surely they must have been deemed important to him/her.

Leave the darkeness brother and I enjoy the light with me.

Peace to you as well

I don't know you, nor do I have a desire to know you. What you do with your senses is your business, I have no desire to share anything with you and your light. How you seem to think is of no attraction to me. I didnot know you yesterday, and I will not know you tommorrow.

Enjoy yourself. I have no quarrell with your joy.

And you have nothing to do with my situation, I do not need your understanding of it, and my life does not need your endorsement.

So Peace to you as well on your journey.

So why post for the world to see? I was only joining in your conversation that you started. I now see and understand why you are in darkness.

I no longer have any interest in understanding your situation, and most certainly was not trying to endorse your life.

Enjoy your solitude. In the future I will not even read anything you post.

Peace to you too, (if you in fact know the meaning of the word).
