Walk Through the Darkness


I came through the wonderful teaching in a Baptist Church. They taught me that the word of God is truth, all of it and I believe this.  Having been in an Assembly of God church for a number of years, I have not changed my thoughts that the Bible is the word of God. The Assembly church also teaches that the gifts, such as tongues and the interpretation of tongues are for this time as well.  I came across an interpretation of tongues given in my church in March of 2005. It was with my wife's things. She was going through a difficult time with her health. Any interpretation or prophecy must line up with God's word. Here is the interpretation.

In this day when there is darkness all around you, people will say, my people have the strength of God and the joy of the Lord.  You will walk with joy.  You will walk with understanding.  You will walk in wisdom because I am your God. You have acknowledged me.  You have given honor to my name.  I am your God and I will walk with you through these things and you will see the light.  You will not see the darkness for the darkness will not cover you.  But I the Light will cover my people.

When we walk in the light with God, people will see Him and He will be glorified. The LORD is our Light and our strength.

Psa 89:13  Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 
Psa 89:14  Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 
Psa 89:15  Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 
Psa 89:16  In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 
Psa 89:17  For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 
Psa 89:18  For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

John 8:12  Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. 

My wife left this life knowing that the Light of God will not go out. She is in the light of his presence and of His glory.  Our walk of faith is a walk with the Lord. He takes us through the darkness, for we are in him the people of light and truth. Jesus is the real truth and I believe in Him.

Joshua's Warning


Jos 23:6  Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left; 
Jos 23:7  That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them: 
Jos 23:8  But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day. 
Jos 23:9  For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day. 
Jos 23:10  One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. 
Jos 23:11  Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God. 
Jos 23:12  Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you: 
Jos 23:13  Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you. 
Jos 23:14  And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof. 
Jos 23:15  Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you. 
Jos 23:16  When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
