If my life were a comic book I’m not sure if anyone would have picked up last months issue. Yes the world race story arc was exciting but last month seemed like that filler issue that is just there until a new artist or writer comes aboard. It normally has a nice uneventful story, sometimes allows the character to rethink or process the preceding event. Sometimes I get these issues for collections sake. But last month was dull. The first few pages seemed exciting like a new quest or mission could have been given. Or perhaps even the gaining of a new skill. But then it slumped our hero slowly began to stop seeking the fight more so haphazardly looked for new companions to fight beside me. At the same time I began to recharge less and less frequently.
Slowly an old enemy began resurfacing one in which I was warned about. My flesh something that continually needed to be slayed

“Dead flesh rising
In what I thought was the calm of the adventure I stopped seeking a better story. I put my ring on the table and slowly began to neglect my duties as a Lantern, I thought there would be time for a reprieve and began to recharge less and Less Frequently A need to recharge”]
Before I new it my enemy was upon me and I allowed myself to be caught off guard and thought I could fight it on my own, without recharging without the Power of the Lord flowing through me. Without his light to burn away the darkness of my Flesh
A fight without light”

Then there was Searchlight which first allowed me to be encouraged by my fellow lanterns in Christ a corps of warriors carrying his true light
I guess what I needed a good kick in the pants to snap out of the fog that this dark world was trying to lure me into. To remind me of the Identity that my flesh was trying to forfeit that I am a Warrior Son of the most high God who clothes me in an armor of light. To remind me to put my ring back on with purpose and recharge and stay charged.

Sometime we forget to crucify our flesh daily sometimes I forget to wield the sword of the Spirit. I forget to shine the light of Christ directly back at the darkness when tries to trap me in lies and in my flesh. To remain calm because Christ has given me the victory

“With the sword of the spirit”
I know that each day each battle, each victory brings me closer to expressing the fullness of the image in Christ. Where one day we will be clothed in white and at full peace with him.
“Clothed in white”
But as for now It is time to keep the story interesting. As with most comic book series there is a larger event on the horizon. In Green Lantern terminology I have recived my sector assignment. I will be going back to Cambodia with a team of men to aid in the fight against human trafficking, raising up other lanterns to carry the light of Christ into the dark regions. So now begins the preparation all the prelude side stories that lead into the main event more details to follow soon.
Though this I know no matter where I am I need to fully let the light of Christ shine through me In Blackest night or brightest day, No evil escapes his sight, let those who worship evils might beware his power, the light of Christ.
