Power of the Covenant

Darkness is a large subject. It is often mentioned but can be (and often is) passed over. Genesis starts with the mention of darkness and the covenant of light begins. I have always been intrigued with the darkness that covered Mt. Sinaii. Moses went up through darkness to meet God. That darkness must have been very frightening. But out of that darkness came the Law, the written part of the covenant signed by the finger of God. That covenant was brought to fullness by the Blood of the cross, which opened the New Covenant. This also was cut in darkness. It took the resurrection of Jesus to bring the glorious Light of the New Covenant. It was in His resurrected body that Jesus breathed on His disciples the Holy Spirit that ministered new birth to their spirits.

The full circle of Jesus being seated on the throne in victory became for all of us the transference into the Kingdom of Light. I Peter 2:9 (ESV) But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Colossians 1:13 (NASB) For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son,
I John 1:5-7 (NLT) 5 This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all. 6 So we are lying if we say we have fellowship with God but go on living in spiritual darkness; we are not practicing the truth. 7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

This water realm fractures light. If we view the Light of the Gospel with the understanding of this realm, the light is fractured. We get many views and many opinions. But when seen through the eye of the Spirit, we get one view. We have to walk in the Light as He is in the Light, then we have connection. We do not view one another by our own opinion but in the Light of His love. We are connected by the Blood and His Spirit. We must identify with the risen Lord and walk in the light of His victory. Put off the depression of discouragement and rejection and experience His Love by letting His love flow through you to each member of His Body. We all have the same covenant.
