Light and Darkness

 Jesus is the Real Light coming into this world 

  The darkness is the kingdom of Satan. The darkness or the work of darkness is like this. Br. Victor once said ‘When you visit one place to give word of God, you can make out the difference of the place by the habitation of that place, like bats will roam everywhere, the owls will chatter awkwardly, the Jackals will scream and the eagles and vultures find the place everywhere to make a den for them, no nobles or prophets would be visited there before, to give the good news of Jesus Christ’. Some time it might be our heart, where these spirits will choose to reside and we have to be very careful. Different spirits produce different sins in us. We should not be half hearted. So we should pray unceasingly with strict constancy in prayer with full heart of repentance. As Br. Jacob said in a talk: ‘we should have the discipline and constancy in our personnel prayer and we should have the grace to do it, then it will come automatically.’ Grace is the most important gift, which God gives to those who are faithful in Jesus Christ. 

   There are many hidden places of darkness are in this world. All kind of dirty spirits will be there in the darkness. The Lord has revealed to Isaiah the Holy Prophet, many of evil spirits will abide such places of evils kingdom. All this comes to such places because God has abandoned that place or country …………… ‘There will be no more nobles to proclaim the royal authority; there will be an end of all its princes. Brambles will grow in its bastions, nettles and thorn-bushes in its fortresses; it will be the lair of jackals, an enclosure for ostriches. Wild cats will meet hyenas there, satyr will call to satyr, there, and Lilith too will lurk and find somewhere to rest. The snake will nest and lay eggs there, will hatch and gather its young into the shade; and there the vultures will assemble, each one with its mate.’ (Is. 34: 8-15) Our heart will be like this place and will be the den of so many kinds of demons. There the evil produces so many kinds of sins in us, and it cannot be calculated. When we are in darkness the evil will never allows any nobles or prophets to approach us to give us the teachings of God’s Kingdom. Of course, the false prophets will approach us and will misguide and destroy us completely. They will use their all efforts to keep us away from our Lord.  Br. Victor said in a talk: ‘they are Legion and they are in thousands. When Lucifer came down from heaven these child demons also came down with him.’ Jesus asked the evil spirit who they are: What is your name? He answered; my name is Legion, for there is many of us’ Mk. 9: 9
