Oh lord you keep in,
all harms way negates me
Your ultimate desire is that I know you.
Knowing you is knowing myself.
Knowing myself is understanding the
divinity that I am and represent.
You are life and light.
You call me both life and light to this world,
for it written you are the giver of life.
Oh Lord you keep in,
that I may never fail to know.
To know the truth that is called to set man free.
The truth that defines you is the truth that speaks
of mastery of mind and perfection.
It is written that I am, that love and perfection,
since I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
I therefore thank you father for creating me,
as the source of all, as you are the pre-existing source of
all creation.
All the answers that I have been seeking
are within because you are a everlasting light
within my soul, searching; while converting darkness into light.
Father, I thank you that my soul is wrapped up in you and
can only reveal your true beauty. The beauty in me is your beauty,
sincere in faith and true in love.
In your glory I abide and find serenity.
rest for my mind,soul and body. Father I thank you for you keep me in...

The light within/Part 2
The light being turned on is the reality of redemption. Redemption is defined as the act of being taken back from captivity. The death of Jesus of Nazareth on the cross at Calvary was the place we found our redemption.
You see, when we speak of the cross we tend to experience extreme sadness because we take pity on the gruesome sacrifice of Jesus. The very act of feeling pity is where we miss what really happened!
The cross of Calvary was not a place of shame, but a place of victory. The cross represents a place of rejoicing and not a place of sorrow. The illustration of the cross was and still is the picture of our redemption. The cross represents the cleansing of the mind. At the cross all erroneous beliefs were abolished and put under subjection.
The beliefs that once separated us from God, Jesus became sin for. This means he became each erroneous thought so that we would no longer have to face the mind of death. This mind of death is the mind that we received when we ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. This mind is also called the carnal mind, which is under the law of sin and death.
This law represents the mind that is still in captivity. The mind under the law resides in a state of religiosity. This religious mindset is why it was so hard to for the Pharisees to believe in Jesus. The Messiah was in front of them for thirty years but they could not see him because of their strong belief system as well as their own proven facts of who, what, where, when and how the Messiah was to come.
The drama of the cross brought us to where we were supposed to be. In fact this is where Adam and Eve were, they lived in a state of constant fellowship and communion with God. Until this oneness was demolished by the act of disobedience. This disobedience awakened man’s false ego to reveal a scar which was fear and doubt. Man than cursed himself and became a tiller (receptor) of the ground. The spiritual principal regarding the receptor is the law of karma. The law of karma explains what we often hear: an eye for an eye; which is also the same meaning as you reap what you sow.
Brothers and sisters the example of the cross happened so that our divinity might be expressed. Today is the day we understand that our false ego self of null effect, has been vanquished. Our new mind and its redemptive nature has taken root.

The Light Within/ Part 1
What is light? Light is what enables you to see. The light within is what enables you to see your true self. If there no light there is darkness. If there no light within man, he is blind. Blindness is ignorance and ignorance is darkness. Jesus said that if the light that is in us is darkness, how great is our darkness (Matthew 6:23).
The bible says, the Spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. Man’s Spirit is the light within man. Within man is the light of God. God brings the light within man by way of his spirit. The spirit of man is also the light or the Spirit of God. Within man is the light that is to shine within darkness. Light within man is his real entity. This light is the means to which Man should live.
In a society we pay so much attention to the exterior of everything that we do not think much about the interior. God created man in his own image (Genesis 1:26-27). The question that comes to mind is: what is the image of God? We recognize the image of God, by way of understanding the light within us.
The scriptures describe the children of God as the light of the world. We are identified as light because our true self is light. This true self is God’s image. The question is, why are we not all living in the light, if the light of God is already within us? We were all in the light as we were with God in the beginning. But our light was turned off when we ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We partook with Adam and Eve of that tree, and by doing so we disobeyed the commands of God.
How do we turn this light back on, is the next question? This is what we will discuss in our next article.
