In this Episode taken from Ephesians 5:8-11 we continue  to discuss Not only How God wants to 'Expose us Before The World', but that he intends to use us,His Church to 'Restrain' or Hold back evil in the world, as we shine forth our Beautiful Portrait in His Light.
{0:43-1:58} Reading of Text Eph. 5:1-11
{1:58-3:00} As I studied this passage vs. 11 was high-lighted to me (reading again vs. 8-11) , this was revealed to me as an answer to the darkness, that is being "The Great Exposure"...
{3:06-3:31}   THREE Key POINTS so far 1) We are being developed in God's Darkroom as a beautiful Portrait, that God intends to show off to the world...2) Light is essential for exposure, Exposure is Birthed in Light....3) We are God's Treasure/Inheritance that is protecting in order to reveal this at the right time.
{ 3:31- 4:12} Col. 1:12 Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to share in the Inheritance of the Saints In Light.....the word LIGHT comes from the Greek word 'PHOS", from which we derive our word Phosphorus...also in scripture LIGHT is often referred to as "REVELATION" ( Greek= APOKALYPSIS)
{4:12-4:28} The Portrait,The Inheritance,, FELLOWSHIP with both God & Man,Light are all crucial for God to Bring about THE GREAT EXPOSURE He desires for this palnet
{4:35-5:00} Example of Moses & the right amount of light needed to expose a picture
{5:00-5:33} The uncovering,unveiling, revealing of a secret or what is hidden requires a Revelation
{5:50-5:56} Only in the Light of Revelation can our Inheritance be found
{6:05-6:14} Without fellowship In the Light w/God & the Saints this whole 'Exposure' Process will FAIL!
{6:14-6:36} a re-reading of {4:08-5:00}
{6:36-6:45} Since Light is so critical to this process lets look @ some more points for clarity
{6:45-6:53} POINT #4 Fellowship with God & His Saints will Increase the LIGHT you Have.
{6:53-7:38} Proverbs 4:18 "The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day."  ...Your Masterpiece, Treasure, that God desires to SHINE Through is meant to shine more brightly each day you walk with Him...This increased brightness increases as we walk with Him & have Fellowship with His Saints.
{7:38-7:57} Fellowship = KOINONIA  in Greek, meaning joint participation,association,contribution,community, fellowship, intercourse...AND of course we are talking about this taking place with other humans as well as ABBA
{7:57 -9:30}  1 John 1:7, NIV: "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."...........Fellowship with God+Saints as we walk together in God's Light...We can never walk ALONE, there are no 'Spiritual Lone Rangers' In The Kingdom of God....We need BOTH the Darkroom experience w/ God+Each other!....The enemy will 'pick off' loners & deceive them.....The sign of a healthy Saint= ONE that is in fellowship WITH the Body of Christ , BOTH creating together Masterpieces, Inheritances,Treasures to show off to the World.....A LONER Lacks Light , is deceived, & the enemy may pick them off!
{9:30-11:15} 2 Corinthians 3:18, NLT: "So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord........Some say this 'Mirror' could be our Brethren...that is we reflect God's Glory back & forth between us  as we fellowship together & this will cause us to ascend into Higher levels of God's Glory, light, & Revelation...
UNVEILED FACES..speaks of being vulnerable & exposed...JAMES exhorts us to 'confess our faults to each other.'...There is a time to 'open up' about faults & shortcomings with the Brethren..this will foster an authentic brokenness &  humility leading to us burning ever brighter & with more clarity before the world...When we are walking in God's LIGHT we will be drawn to others Walking In Light that...
