(from Baguio City, Philippines)
We will know what is good, acceptable, and God's will when our mind is transformed by His spirit. Likewise we can sense other spirits and separate that which is God from what is not--with alertness.
That darkness is sensitive to light, and light will always dispel darkness is a natural and spiritual truth. Yet the light of God will not shine into darkness without initiation of Godly fear, love, prayer, and other tangible responses to darkness.
Often we are not alert to our response options to darkness--that we can know the will of God and are led by Christ to effect and expose evil in His name! Likewise we are challenged to know the will of God by His spirit and to avoid natural human responses from the soul which will dispel nothing.
Jesus confronted darkness thoroughly in prayer, by silent suffering, or open confrontation. We are effective in Christ to expose and destroy the works and intentions of the devil, and we will know through Him the action necessary for the event. 1) Confront evil individually or corporately according to scriptural criteria. 2) Confront evil with our suffering, forgiveness or prayer.
"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34) and "Vengence is mine . . .says the Lord."
We must release Christ's power by forgiveness, and have nothing to do with vengence.
