"Transformation"

"Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly." (Psalms 6:10) In 'light' of what has been said up to this point about what I believe that God has been showing me through this Psalm, we are at a point where David has been restored, and God's Spirit is manifested upon his life. What we could call this, is a transformation to the Light, and to that of godliness; whereas, those to whom he referred to as his enemies, are not only made ashamed and depart bewildered, but when they show back up, they are astounded by his countenance. Because of what we have been talking about is that of spiritual warfare, there is always the chance of those "workers of iniquity" coming back; and they come back in a greater force than when they left! There is a good illustration of how this works in Matthew 12 and in Luke 11; both of these passages of Scripture show how demons will return, and how that they bring with them other demons more wicked then them. Now why do you think that might be? I like Luke's version of what transpired before and after Jesus shared about "The Return of the Unclean Spirit". In Luke 11, Jesus starts out teaching His disciples how to pray; then He goes into the "Ask, Seek, and Knock" portion of Scripture, that speaks about the Holy Spirit being given. And then, in verses 14-17, it says, "And He was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. And others, tempting Him, sought of Him a sign from heaven. But He, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth." Jesus then speaks of the house divided, the strong man keeping his palace, the return of the unclean spirit, true blessedness, the demand for a sign, and then finally, the light of the body. It is this "Light of the Body" that I wish to focus upon, for He says in verses 33-36, "No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light." Now then; we all know that light casts out the darkness; so then, when that darkness has been casted out, and when it returns, it must bring with it stronger demons to try and snuff out that light. This is why it is so vitally important that we make sure that there is no darkness within us at all! We are starting in get there...But we still have some issues of forgiveness!!!
