How to prepare the heart for the Lord
Out of
darkness into the marvelous light at one time we were blinded to the truth of
the ordinance of the Lord.
Do you see
with your eyes or do you see through the eyes of the Lord? The Pharisees asked
Jesus if they were blind.
John 9:39-41
And Jesus said, "For judgment I
came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who
see may become blind." 40Those
of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things and said to Him, "We
are not blind too, are we?" 41Jesus
said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you
say, 'We see,' your sin remains.
Example: A sign of relief, Just imagine you
fall into a deep hole and, it was so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front
of your face. And you feared the worst that no one would find you and, you
would die from the lack of food and water. In your very heart you had a will to
find your way out of that deep and dark place. You begin to walk to find a way
out and, you feel a slight breeze, using your human senses to possibly
determine that you are heading in the right direction this could very well be
the way out. After following your sense of direction and have been walking for
some time, you begin to see a light up ahead; at this time you have a sign of
relief that you are going home.
The Lord has said that the blind
could not lead the blind.
Luke 6:39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall
they not both fall into the ditch?
Believing
in what the Lord has given us to guide us into all truth is the Word of
God.
Proverbs 16:1-3 The
preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the
LORD.2
All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD
weigheth the spirits.3 Commit thy
works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
Let us recall the time when Saul then name changed to Paul was a
persecutor of the Christian he thought that he was doing a service eliminating
what he thought was correct in his eyes by killing the followers of Jesus
Christ.
Paul was blinded by the
light
Acts 25:25 "But since I could not see because of the brightness of that
light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me and came into Damascus.
Paul needed to become blind to see his own sins in his heart, so
he could go to the Lord Jesus Christ for help and direction to his mission in
the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Paul was transformed into a child of God to do the services for
Jesus Christ.
We only knew sin when our eyes were opening in this world, but in
the new life there is no sin.
Genesis 3:4-5 The
serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die! 5"For
God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you
will be like God, knowing good and evil."
