Topic: How Do We Keep The Light In And The Darkness Out?

To keep the Light in and the darkness out we must be willing to do what seems impossible in our physical world. To keep the darkness out and the Light in we must walk both sides of the street at the same time. We must do what is clearly impossible in human physical terms. However, with God and in His spiritual realms, we can do the impossible. With God we can walk both sides of the spiritual street at the same time.

In our spirit, on one side of the spiritual street we walk in the area of darkness and on the other side of the street we walk in the area of the Light. On one side of the street, using our human will, we must keep out the darkness and keep in the Light. Using our human will, we must have an iron grip, an iron wall, and an iron barrier to keep out the darkness. On the other side of the spiritual street we must use our human will to have what seems to be the opposite of maintaining an iron grip or iron barrier, because on this side of the spiritual street we must release all we are and let the love and Light in by becoming the love and Light.

Paradoxically, it is required we be hard as nails and soft as cotton. The Light has to be kept on while the darkness kept off.

In more practical terms, outside circumstances may come against us, but we can rule over them when we have the Light or God's love inside of us. Our job is two-fold. Our job is to keep the Light and love in, and keep the darkness out. The barrier we place in our heart using our human will can serve two purposes. Like the roof and walls of a house keep the cold out, the roof and walls can also serve to keep the heat in. Likewise, the barrier we place in our heart can keep out the darkness while keeping in the Light.
