0:05 - 0:08Walking in the light this is where the joy is found.
-
0:08 - 0:13The joy of a clear conscience, nothing between my soul and the Savior.
-
0:13 - 0:18Isn't amazing that the Lord has set it up, such that a new convert,
-
0:18 - 0:21can have more reality than an elder,
-
0:22 - 0:25he can be walking in more light than an elder.
-
0:26 - 0:30Walking in the light that's where you'll find the sensible presence of God,
-
0:30 - 0:32the sweet assurances of God.
-
0:33 - 0:35When we walk with the Lord in the light of his word,
-
0:35 - 0:37what a glory he sheds on our way,
-
0:37 - 0:40but if there is any darkness there its like you're running in mud.
-
0:41 - 0:42If there is any darkness there
-
0:42 - 0:45its like you're growing crops that are being choked up by weeds.
-
0:45 - 0:48Its like you're trying to plow with a rusty plow.(P)
-
0:49 - 0:51The chariot wheels they drive so hard.
-
0:51 - 0:55Depression and perplexities that cannot seemed to be fixed,
-
0:55 - 0:58if you're not walking in the light, if you're heart isn't open.
-
0:59 - 1:01Duncan Campbell he tells a story,
-
1:01 - 1:07that in Scotland he was riding with another person and their car malfunctioned and stopped.
-
1:07 - 1:11It was at night time and they didn't have a flashlight, they couldn't see how to fix it,
-
1:11 - 1:16and then they looked over there and they saw this light house and
-
1:16 - 1:20They realized if we can push the car down there , well get in the light
-
1:20 - 1:23and we can see to fix it and they did.
-
1:23 - 1:27You've got to get your heart in the light in order to be repaired.(p)
-
1:28 - 1:32This is where you'll find more light, in your light we see light.
-
1:32 - 1:35A light is sown for the righteous and gladness for the upright in heart.
-
1:36 - 1:38Willingness is just such a key isn't?
-
1:38 - 1:43If when any man is willing to do his will he will know of the doctrine.
-
1:43 - 1:48A willing heart is very very precious in the sight of God.
-
1:49 - 1:53Walking in the light this is where we find the power.
-
1:53 - 1:57It says in Romans chapter 13 that we ought to put on
-
1:57 - 2:00what? the armour of light.
-
2:00 - 2:02That is a powerful thing.
-
2:02 - 2:06I remember soon after i was converted,
-
2:06 - 2:11the Lord showed me I needed to go make things right at the bookstore.
-
2:11 - 2:15The university bookstore. Id shoplifted some books.
-
2:15 - 2:19and so the clerk directed me to the manager of the book store,
-
2:19 - 2:24the manager directed me to the adminstrator of the union,
-
2:24 - 2:28and there I walked into this nice office,
-
2:28 - 2:31and this man was seated there with his tie
-
2:31 - 2:37and I told him that I had been saved from my sins by the Grace of Christ,
-
2:37 - 2:38and become a Christian.
-
2:38 - 2:43And you know that man become white in his face as though I had pulled a gun on him.
-
2:43 - 2:48And I told him that I need to return or repay some stolen books,
-
2:49 - 2:52what authority is lost by darkness,
-
2:52 - 2:54the cost of a dark area,
-
2:54 - 2:58the cost of allowing a dark area in your heart,
-
2:58 - 3:02I mean it will mar your testimony, like a scratch on a new car,
-
3:02 - 3:03you cant show it off
-
3:03 - 3:05you cant look people in the eye,
-
3:05 - 3:07it will hinder your fruitfulness,
-
3:07 - 3:09it will hinder your joy
-
3:09 - 3:12it will hinder your usefulness in the kingdom fo God
-
3:12 - 3:14it will sapp your strength.
-
3:14 - 3:18We bought an ATV some years ago,
-
3:18 - 3:20and got a lot of work out of it
-
3:20 - 3:23and all of the sudden it began to malfunction
-
3:23 - 3:28I mean it would cough and spitter, and sputter, and spit, (laughing)
-
3:29 - 3:35and backfire, and no power, and we took it in and they took the motor apart,
-
3:35 - 3:37and said we got it fixed. and they didnt.
-
3:37 - 3:41and we took it in a second time and they still thought they got it fixed
-
3:41 - 3:46and we took it in a third time and you know it was some little device on the handle bar.
-
3:49 - 3:54Im talking about allowing a little area of darkness in your heart,
-
3:54 - 3:56it will hurt you!
-
3:57 - 3:59It will harden your heart,
-
3:59 - 4:04soft choices make hard hearts, look at Lots wife.
-
4:05 - 4:07It will deceive you,
-
4:08 - 4:15If you allow some besetting sin, some secret sin, some hidden sin, it will eventually deceive you.
-
4:16 - 4:21You cover it at first, you make excuses for it, then you begin to talk about it and defend it,
-
4:21 - 4:24then you begin to laugh about it and brag about it,
-
4:25 - 4:27it will deceive you,
-
4:27 - 4:29look at the effects of one sin,
-
4:29 - 4:32look what one sin did to Abraham,
-
4:32 - 4:33look what one sin did to Noah,
-
4:34 - 4:36look what one sin did to Moses,
-
4:36 - 4:39look at what one sin did to David,
-
4:40 - 4:42what one sin did to the Rich Young Ruler,
-
4:42 - 4:44This one thing you lack,
-
4:45 - 4:49Look at what one sin did to Adam and Eve and the whole human race,
-
4:49 - 4:52what one sin did to the Son of God,
-
4:54 - 4:56it will hinder your ministry
-
4:56 - 5:01because of one point of disobedience God sought to kill Moses,
-
5:01 - 5:03look what one sin will do the church,
-
5:03 - 5:07Achan, he hindered the whole congregation,
-
5:09 - 5:16maybe almost every historic revival is started by someone stepping into the light,
-
5:16 - 5:19we have heard about the Canadian Revival, some of us,
-
5:19 - 5:25and you know, it looks like it started at Bill Mcleods church in Canada,
-
5:25 - 5:27but it really it started in Michigan,
-
5:27 - 5:31when at a meeting one teenage girl stepped into the light,
-
5:33 - 5:39if you got an area of darkness, if youve got a besetting sin, if youve got a bondage there,
-
5:39 - 5:44dont pass it by, work on it,
-
5:44 - 5:50an athlete, the coach tells him, youre going to win, if you just get this one area right,
-
5:51 - 5:56a concert pianist, might have a whole piece real good,
-
5:56 - 5:59but if there is just one troublesome area, what does she do?
-
6:00 - 6:05She works on, Right Cathryn? she works on it and works on it till it is all smoothed out
-
6:05 - 6:08do that also with your heart,
-
6:08 - 6:09keep it that way,
-
6:13 - 6:15isnt it something, the way God has made it?
-
6:16 - 6:20I mean, heres this one thing, thats fluttering around in my conscience,
-
6:22 - 6:25and all I've got to do to get back into the light,
-
6:25 - 6:30is down deep honestly, sincerely, say Lord, I agree with you.
-
6:31 - 6:34Against that thing, Im going with you.
-
6:36 - 6:38If your not a true Christian,
-
6:41 - 6:44if you love darkness here, youll get it there,
-
6:45 - 6:46outer darkness,
-
6:47 - 6:51this is the condemnation that light has come and men love darkness rather then light.
-
6:51 - 6:55You know your heart, you know whats going on there,
-
6:56 - 6:59you better step into the light with God,
-
6:59 - 7:03no darkness at all is what He asks and requires.
-
7:03 - 7:08If youre not a true Christian dont think that the blood of Jesus will avail for you,
-
7:08 - 7:12it only avails for those who are walking in the light.
-
7:13 - 7:20Duncan Campbell said, Calvary will not cover what you are unwilling to uncover.
-
7:22 - 7:27If your not a Christian, if your not a true Christian go for any light you can find.
-
7:27 - 7:29Any light, go for any light.
-
7:30 - 7:35The evangelist told pilgrim Do you see that light over there? head for that light.
-
7:36 - 7:41If your in a cave, and only one person had a flashlight,
-
7:42 - 7:47youd better walk in the light while youve got some light or darkness is going to overtake you.
-
7:48 - 7:55If you do you will be a child of light and you will be able to say the Lord is my light and my salvation.
-
7:57 - 8:02God is light, thats the message John says we have heard from Him.
-
8:05 - 8:15Well scripture says He that doeth evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be manifested or exposed.
-
8:16 - 8:23Everyone that doeth truth comes to the light that his deeds might be manifested as having been wrought in God.
-
8:23 - 8:28When you see somebody coming to the light, getting honest, Gods already done a work.
-
8:31 - 8:35And Hes doing a work, and his deeds are manifested as have been wrought in God.
