Can You See

There are many people that had a problem with seeing in the word of God, being blinded to the truth; take the Pharisees for instance and keep in mind that I am not talking about physical blindness I am talking about spiritual blindness.   

Read John 9:28–, “Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.”

They were not physically blind, but they were spiritually blind.  There are many religious people today, along with the non-believers, who are spiritually blind today also.  Many seem to be taken in by someone they trust regardless of what they say.  And, many times it is not by anyone trying to lead them astray, but they have been taken in by someone they trusted.  God’s word says this, “The righteous perish for lack of knowledge.”  Is it because we don’t have the Word of God accessible to us today?  I don’t think so.  We have all kinds of Bibles and resources, but we are not taking the time to read them and study them and pray and seek the Lord and the help of the Holy Spirit to teach us and to lead us into all truth.  After all, He is the real teacher, plus the Bible relates to this; in a multitude of counselors we find wisdom!!  I don’t believe that anyone has all the Bible knowledge they can possess.  

Please read 2 Corinthians 4:1-6, “Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 

Who is the prince or god of this world, the enemy of our souls, who blinds the minds of the non-believers?  I think I said this in my last blog, that the truth is so important, I heard it said, that it is guarded by a body guard of lies.  You can live in the dark or come out of darkness into the light.

Please read John 12:44-50, “Then Jesus cried out and said, ‘He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.’”         

The choice is up to you.  If you want to come out of darkness and into the light, you will have to acknowledge the fact that you are a sinner and be willing to leave your sinful ways behind you and turn from them and turn to God, which is called repentance.  Ask the Lord to forgive you and to cover you with His precious blood and be the Lord and Savior of your life!!  If you are sincere, I believe you will be a new creation in Christ.  Then start growing in your newfound faith!!  I hope this has been a help and encouragement to you and that you will make the right choice and be set free, praise the Lord!!  May the good Lord bless you and yours and may you have a super day!!
