Blessing for Walking in the Light

Hello! Its been a while since I was actively thinking of a blessing to write but I have something that has come up so here goes...

I have really been struggling with sin and sin's grip to pull me into places that are not good but yet I go sometimes very willingly and with almost a sense that I have to go there.  The enemy of our souls is very good at getting a hook into us and then pulling us in so many directions sometimes to discern what is of our God and what is of the enemy can get so difficult.

I was reading in Ephesians 5:11-17 which says, ^"Take no part in and have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds and enterprises of darkness, but instead [let your lives be so in contrast as to] expose and reprove and convict them.
     For it is a shame even to speak of or mention the things that [such people] practice in secret.
     But when anything is exposed and reproved by the light, it is made visible and clear; and where everything is visible and clear there is light.
     Therefore He says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine (make day dawn) upon you and give you light.
     Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people),
     Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil.
     Therefore do not be vague and thoughtless and foolish, but understanding and firmly grasping what the will of the Lord is."

Secrecy is critical for the enemy to work at having a hold over us.  Having all brought into the light is not what the enemy wants us to do.  The light separates the darkness, according to AB Simpson. Darkness cannot be in a place where there is light.

There has been some light shone into my life in terms of sin's grip and I want to expose sin so we can Awake! Sin's pull is strong, it is stronger than what we can withstand.  If we try to resist sin on our own we are dead.  Sin can only be dealt with under the blood of the cross and a continual sanctification work of the Holy Spirit in us. We have the Spirit in us that raised Christ from the dead, a Spirit of power and consuming fire but we have an imitator of that same spirit in the enemy of our souls.  The enemy does not want us in the light but to stay in the dark.  The only hope we have for truth to be made known is to have light shone into the dark places to see.  May we see because there is light before us.  Thank you Lord that "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and light unto my path!"

I pray Lord a prayer of blessing today, a prayer for light to shine in our lives.  May Christ's light shine and reveal truth to us.  Thank you for your sanctification work in all those who believe in the name of our Lord Jesus.  I pray that we may be willing to admit our dependance on you.  It is in You that the fruitless deeds of darkness are exposed, it is in You that we are able to live in such a way as to expose the darkness because where our feet tread there is light!  Bring Your light to my brothers and sisters today.  May we live with purpose and be holy in how we walk...I pray a blessing to walk in the light as He is in the light so we may have fellowship with one another and be assured the blood covers and cleanses our sin...Amen....

1 John 1:7
 But if we [really] are living and walking in the Light, as He [Himself] is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt [keeps us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations].
