1 John 1:5-7 (NASB)
"This is the message we have heard from HIM and announce to you, that GOD is Light, and in HIM there is "NO DARKNESS AT ALL". If we say that we have fellowship with HIM and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as HE HIMSELF is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of JESUS HIS SON cleanses us from all sin."
There seems to be a trend toward a darkened setting while worshipping JEHOVAH GOD. The are some fellowships that even dim all light while singing praises to our KING. While worship leaders may be better seen with directed lighting, isn't our worship supposed to be directed to GOD and not to making worship leaders more attractive?
2 Timothy 3:16 says "ALL SCRIPTURE is inspired by GOD and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness". Is there is a reason GOD cause the phrase "NO DARKNESS AT ALL" to be included in HIS Word! In 1 John 1:5 HE says "in HIM there is "NO DARKNESS AT ALL", therefore all deeds are done in the LIGHT of exposure. When
Could it be one reason that GOD is so removed from our worship of HIM is because we won't let HIM in? 'GOD is Light' and some churches want darkness while GOD is praised and preached? Could there be a spirit of darkness, trying to HIDE something or someone, from GOD prevailing? Genesis 3:10 says Adam "was afraid (of GOD) because I was naked; so I HID myself.” Adam had sinned and he attempted to HIDE his sin from GOD! Maybe sin is HID from man in DARKNESS, but GOD sees with HOLY EYES that see TRUTH!
"In HIM there is "NO DARKNESS AT ALL" may have nothing to do with whether the lighting is dimmed or not. For me, I want everything I do to be done in GOD's Light and with HIS approval. Perfection will not be achieved as long as the enemy is in "this world". But I desire to live where there is "NO DARKNESS AT ALL" and where we worship the GOD WHO IS LIGHT!!
