Do I see?
39 Then Jesus told him, “I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.”
John 9:39 NLT
Shalom everyone, this is the day the Lord has made so let's not mess it up!
Among the Lord's prophets and teachers there has been an emphasis on "seeing/hearing in the Spirit".
This is not all they have been declaring but it is a common thread.
We as born again believers should realize that we need to pay attention to this message.
Jesus always spoke the truth to the people and to the religious leaders as well.
For the most part, one group listened the other group rejected His message.
Why did they reject Jesus' message to them?
Today's passage holds the answer, spiritual blindness.
The seven deadliest words of the Church have been, "We've never done it this way before."
As a member of the body of Christ I too have said these words and missed out big time on what He was doing, a new thing.
To be clear, I never have knocked the Church, to do so is foolishness, but it is in disarray and rife with division.
One reason is many of the Lord's people do not see/hear what He is doing, I too have lived this way.
"19 Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."
Isaiah 43:19 AMPC
If we want to always be in step with what the Lord is doing we must follow Him, the Good Shepherd.
When you look at a river, you never see the same water twice because it flows.
We too are to flow with the Spirit, to do what He is doing, to say what He is saying, go where He is going, like Jesus did.
Some of you are seeing and hearing what the Spirit of the Lord is revealing to you and you have begun to share these things with others.
The take away is, never be content to remain where you are in the Spirit, always ask the Lord to lead you higher.
On a side note, this will mean that at times you will have to do something different than what you are currently doing.
Ask Holy Spirit to lead you to the higher way!
