I AM THE Light.

through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can
understand. If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you
develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception,
it is a prevailing attitude. Leadership is solving problems. The day
soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped
leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or
concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.”
Colin Powell
Religion cannot be simply a dogma that we go practice on a day of the
week so that we can condemn all the losers [supposedly all those who
don’t subscribe to a belief] to hell that don’t believe as we do. We
must be willing to find patterns that have stopped us from being the
person we should be, not excuses to continue bad behavior. “Human
need psychology” includes finding the tools we need to help other
people.
“Where focus goes, energy flows.” The Messiah said this same mantra
like this:
Mat 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also.
Mat 6:22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is
good, all your body shall be enlightened.
The eye being the part of our body that speaks of focus. A man does
not go into the light by being focused on the darkness of the abyss.
You will not quit smoking by fixating on cigarettes or any other
behavior you do not want to continue! We continually do the things we
do not desire to do because we fixate on the negative (quitting)
instead of the positive behavior that we desire. We empower the things
we focus on and by removing focus from these objects, we move forward
towards our goal. We must be focused on our goal, which being healthy
as the goal for cigarette smokers (for example) being the correct
focus, not quitting. If we train our minds to quit smoking, our
brains react by telling the body to continually quit.
In the example of the smoker, they should consider that they do not
smoke at night, not because they are non smokers at night but because
they do not think about smoking while they sleep. They remove the
power of focus from smoking to sleep. If they continued this practice
during the day of not empowering the things that they don’t desire by
thinking about “quit smoking” and focus on the things they do desire,
it would be automatic. Clean up the area, remove the temptation and
then stop focusing on the problem and think about anything else.
Mat 6:23 “But if your eye is evil, all your body shall be darkened.
If, then, the light that is within you is darkness, how great is that
darkness!
You will not find the savior in a horror picture and the spirit is not
given out in measure..
Joh 3:34 “For He whom Elohim has sent speaks the Words of Elohim, for
Elohim does not give the Spirit by measure.
…and so you must reject that which does not edify the manifestation of
the spirit of light and truth.
Mat 6:24 “No one is able to serve two masters, for either he shall
hate the one and love the other, or else he shall cleave to the one
and despise the other. You are not able to serve Elohim and mammon.
You must FOCUS on that which you desire to manifest and be singular in
this goal.
Mat 5:14 “YOU are the light of the world. It is impossible for a city
to be hidden on a mountain.
“I am the light”. Light is used as an analogy to explain the effects
of spirit. Smile and the world smiles with you is another axiom to
illustrate spirit. Spirit spreads and is infectious on all those
around you and so maintaining positive spirit must be our focus in the
now. The next recognition is, that YOU are the light and effect all
those around you by that light [positive spirit] within you. If you
are the light then no darkness [evil] can dwell inside of you but do
not delude yourself, light does not reside in the darkness.
Mat 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, so that they see your
good works and praise your Father who is in the heavens.
Your good works do not including sitting around watching horror movies
and playing violent video games or singing evil lyrics that pollute
your being. If you focus on death and evil, you become darkness and
if you focus on goodness, you will become that goodness, it’s that
simple. Change the way you look at things and the things you look at
change.
The failure of most is the first recognition that all has been given
into YOUR hands.
Psa 82:6 I, I said, “You are elohim, And ALL of you are sons of the
Most High.
Psa 82:7 “But as men you die, And fall as one of the heads.”
You are the sovereign of your destiny for whom else but a sovereign
has authority to choose life and death?
Deu 30:19 “I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today
against you: I have set before you life and death, the blessing and
the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so that you live, both you
and your seed,
If then, you have been delivered the choice; you have either passively
acted [subconsciously] on a choice of death in not choosing life or
not believed or worse still, lied to yourself.
Tony Robbins says, “If you do what you've always done, you'll get what
you've always gotten. A real decision is measured by the fact that
you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly
decided. It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is
shaped.” And he is right.
Aldous Huxley says, “We protect our minds by an elaborate system of
abstractions, ambiguities, metaphors and similes from the reality we
do not wish to know too clearly; we lie to ourselves, in order that we
may still have the excuse of ignorance, the alibi of stupidity and
incomprehension, possessing which we can continue with a good
conscience to commit and tolerate the most monstrous crimes:
The poor wretch who has learned his only prayers From curses, who
knows scarcely words enough To ask a blessing from his Heavenly
Father, Becomes a fluent phraseman, absolute And technical in
victories and defeats, And all our dainty terms for fratricide; Terms
which we trundle smoothly o’er our tongues Like mere abstractions,
empty sounds to which We join no meaning and attach no form! As if the
soldier died without a wound: As if the fibers of this godlike frame
Were gored without a pang: as if the wretch Who fell in battle, doing
bloody deeds, Passed off to Heaven translated and not killed; As
though he had no wife to pine for him, No God to judge him.”
Stop telling lies to yourself and focus on the truth and this truth
will set you free.
Joh 8:32 and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.”
The lies we tell ourselves only work to keep up mired in self
delusion.

Any 'light' in you is darkness because you do not follow the Messiah:
Matt. 6:23 "But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how
great is that darkness!"
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."
1Jn 1:5, "This then is the message which we have heard of him, and
declare unto you, that GOD IS LIGHT, and in him is no darkness at
all."
John 9:5 the Messiah said, "As long as I am in the world, I am the
LIGHT of the world".
Joh 1:6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
Joh 1:7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of THE LIGHT,
that all men through him might believe.
Joh 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that
Light.
Joh 1:9 That was the TRUE LIGHT [God/Messiah], which lighteth every
man that cometh into the world.
Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the
world knew him not.
Linda Lee
“Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers",
but they do NOT simplify a subject to the point they've eliminated key
elements.
This is what you do with the Scriptures.
God as the Saviour is the point of the Scriptures, and
you have eliminated that key element. All mankind was fallen and God
formed the Israelites to bring light to the Gentiles. The point of the
prophesies in the Hebrew Scriptures was to announce God's intent to
act as fallen mankind's Saviour, and the New Testament brings the Good
News that God fulfilled his promises (that is why the Messiah's
teachings are called the 'gospel' meaning the 'good news').
Now "are YOU willing to read?" or will you continue to ignore the
Hebrew Scriptures that reveal God as the Saviour? I would bet that you
are unwilling to read and will read no further because your mind and
eyes are closed, and you prefer being blind and do not want to see.
Psa 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put
their trust in him.
WHY will God be angry and cause us to perish if we do not love the Son
of God who would come to us? Why are those who put their trust in the
Son of God "Blessed"? Because God would be the Son of God in the
flesh as a Son of Man - SON signifying a male human being.
GOD SPEAKS OF FUTURE GENERATION'S REACTION TO REALIZING GOD HAD BEEN
THE MESSIAH AND SAVIOUR:
Zec 12:10 "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications:
and they shall look upon ME WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED, and they shall
mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in
bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn".
PROPHESY OF THE MESSIAH
Isa 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse
[David's father], and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
Isa 11:2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit
of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the
spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
Isa 11:3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the
LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither
reprove after the hearing of his ears:
Isa 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove
with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth
with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he
slay the wicked.
Isa 11:5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and
faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
Isa 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard
shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the
fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
Isa 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall
lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
Isa 11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and
the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
Isa 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for
the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters
cover the sea.
Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall
stand for an ENSIGN of the people; to it shall the Gentiles SEEK: and
his rest shall be glorious.
SEEK - Heb. 1875 - "A primitive root; properly to tread or frequent;
usually to follow (for pursuit or search); by implication to seek or
ask; SPECIFICALLY TO WORSHIP".
An "ensign" is a sign intended to draw or assemble people. The
Gentiles would worship God through the "ensign" of the man whose name
is the Branch; Yahashua` the Messiah, the "true Light" that is God.
Isa 49:6 And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my
servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved
of Israel: I will also give thee for a LIGHT TO THE GENTILES, that
thou mayest be my SALVATION unto the end of the earth.
Isa 49:7 Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy
One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a
servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall
worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of
Israel, and he shall choose thee.
Isa 49:8 Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard
thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will
preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to
establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
Isa 49:9 That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them
that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways,
and their pastures shall be in all high places.

I can ignore you forever. False Accusations and childish games are not
"godly" or "Christian" behaviour and you reveal yourself.
Linda Lee
Of course, because you're spiritually blind and among the dead.
> False Accusations and childish games are not

There were no false accusations nor childish behavior. You're just
deaf, dumb, and blind.
> and you reveal yourself.
And you reveal yourself as a hypocrite *every day*.
guardian Snow
And your only worth ignoring, that must be a hard reality for you to
own up to.

Matt. 8:22, "But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury
their dead"; the "dead" being those who refuse to follow the Messiah.

Speaking of your being deaf, dumb, and blind to the truth (not
hearing, nor speaking, nor seeing the truth); the Messiah said he is
"the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me" (John 14:6). So how do you expect to come to "the Father"?

It is you're/'you are', not "your". Your punctuation is also wrong,
and you ended your sentence in a preposition, "great leader".
Remember, "If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you
develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception,
it is a prevailing attitude." LOL.
