A friend of mine wrote me an email and asked if there was anything he could pray for me. What cam to mind was revival for people in our area, and for the blinders of deception to be removed from the eyes of us as believers that we might know the truth. You see, I am not a formally trained preacher. Although I hold several degrees including advanced degrees, none of them are in the area of religion. All I have to rely on is what I can read and try to understand from the bible and spending time with God. What I have discovered is, God is enough, at least He is for me. John 9:39 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. It makes me sad to think that we can miss the mark and miss God. He has done so much for us, yet if we are not diligent to seek the truth, we will be blind. Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded What concerns me most is that if people are and have been blind to the point that it has been in their families and generations for years, how would they know, for blindness would be accepted as the norm? I pray that we might not be blind, any of us. Prayer
40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
Father, We praise and exalt You as the Most High God. Thank You for Your willingness to be with us and for us. Thank You for giving us Your ways and Your wisdom. We ask that You not let us remain blind. Help us to be willing to see the truth, and then see it. Teach us each one individually the way to go. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
