We
are now light, because we are now one with the body of Light. We are now one
with the Light, Jesus Christ, so how could we be anything but light? The powerful
Truth about light is that it cannot be both light and dark. Good water and
bitter water cannot come from the same fountain, James 3:11. We are either one
or the other.
For
you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we do not belong either
to the night or to darkness. 1 Thessalonians 5:5
9 For the fruit (the effect, the product) of
the Light or the Spirit [consists] in every form of kindly goodness,
uprightness of heart, and trueness of life.
We
are plainly shown here the Truth that it is the Spirit that causes us to do
what our Father wants. This is our victory and this is our peace. Far too many
want to bring us again to bondage, teaching and preaching what we have to do
for our Father. This teaching would be like teaching what the branch has to do
on its own to produce fruit, or what the hand must do on its own to serve the
body. There is no separation between us and our Father at all. All that He is,
we are now one with just as Jesus is. We are new creatures in Christ, every old
thing in our life’s has past away and now all things are new!

And try to learn [in your experience] what is pleasing to the Lord [let your
lives be constant proofs of what is most acceptable to Him].
The
great thing that we are shown here is that we can actually know what is
pleasing to our Father. Our Father doesn’t hide things from us, we have real
fellowship with Him.
But
when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving Spirit) comes, He will guide
you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth). For He will not speak His
own message [on His own authority]; but He will tell whatever He hears [from
the Father; He will give the message that has been given to Him], and He will
announce and declare to you the things that are to come [that will happen in
the future]. John 16:13
