THE CURE FOR OUR SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS
Greetings in the power and in the name of Jesus Christ:
It is true that as a country we have become blinded. Or blindness is not of what we feel today in our heart is true because I believe we can still do feel the spiritual power to discern truth from lie, but we have become blind because of the brainwashings we have received from the outlandish lies of those whom we have entrusted to be the truth bearers of our society.
I am referring to the reports that we have grown to believe through the media that should be reporting the truth and yet are firmly in the back pockets of interest groups which are bent on the destruction of the very principals that our country has been built upon.
We spoke about our blindness in the last blog to a degree but now I want to tell you the truth about not being able to clearly see what the enemy of God is doing all around us. God's word tells us at some point when we have grown up enough in the principals that the word of God has given to us about our responsibility as a child of God; we will both see the world as it really is, and the world we recognize us for who we have become. When that happens there will be a marked change in our relationship to this world around us as we become known as peacemakers among men. The problem with that is this world will begin to double and triple its efforts to destroy our witness to those around us who may be influenced by us.
John 14: 21 finds Jesus in the middle of a conversation with His disciples where He is telling them of His departure back to Heaven. I will paraphrase this for you by saying that He told them that those who have been given His commandments and have continued to keep them is the person that loves God. It is the person who loves God through Jesus Christ that the Father will, in turn, love, and God will show Himself to the world through that person. If you remember the last blog I wrote about the fact that sooner or later we will be forced to stand and to give an account for our beliefs in Christ? I believe that those days are on us right now, and I believe there will be many people who may be very comfortable in our church bodies who will run for cover if they are cornered by this world into having to officially declare themselves a Christian under the possible persecution of society and prosection of law. I believe with my whole heart that God is going to put the church through a purging of some kind where we will undergo a pruning process from first the inside-out and then much like the first church went through we will have a pruning from the outside-inward. I don't believe that God is going to let us get by with holding onto just any little code of ethics we come across that make us feel better. I believe that He is going to demand that we go through a transformation first so that we are all of the same mind and heart just as it was in that first worldly persecution of the Way by the Romans and Nero.
I know so many people who are looking for a way around these end of days we now live in, but I fear it may not happen. Instead of running for a hiding place we need to prepare our hearts to stand and be recognized. If someone comes to drag me out of my home at some point I have rehearsed what I would say: I am a child of God if my death will help you to consider Jesus and the truth that He lives within me then I am ready To the one who is about to kill me I offer the most important possession I have, the word of God. I confess Jesus as my Savior, and I pray that you would take the time to read this book. If you let meI would share why I love Him so much. I wonder if you have ever thought of what you might say under these circumstances? John 15:10-13 tells us that if we love God we will keep His word to us. It tells us to love one another in that same way as we love God and He loves us. It is time to allow His Spirit to take control of who we are as a people in Christ. May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
