Closing a "Blind" Eye

Lesson Number 10 of 10: Final Lesson on Why We Feel neglected of God

10. “Shutting a Blind Eye”

In local colloquialism, “shutting a blind eye” references the overlooking of the obvious by choice. God blesses each of us mightily. To often, we choose not to see or recognize the blessing. Sometimes Satan will put up a smoke screen to conceal our blessings. Truth is, we could never thank our Lord for all he has done to bless us. He is well aware that we will lay the flaw at the foot of the cross. Never fall for the devils lies. If you do: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” (John 8:44) When we wander in thought or word away from the millions of blessings the Lord God has delivered unto us, we ere. Jesus said for us to believe and work toward a greater reward than this earth has to offer. (John 4:1) “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.” God will provide if we approach the throne room in the proper manner to receive his blessings.
Let us consider our “lifetime” and what we perceive as blessings as we live it to an end. What do you consider a Gods blessing? Are we over zealous and demanding? Something financially rewarding? Is it something that makes you happy? The fact that you have life, breath, and someone in your life who loves you are all blessings that He’s given that you may have been taking for granted. Look for others for they are many.
Ephesians 1:3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” The next 11 verses describe, in detail, our eternal inheritance if we are trusting in Christ Jesus for our salvation.” Trust is the key here.
Don’t overlook what He has done nor close your eyes to His superior understanding. Start thanking Him for all that you have, even what doesn’t appear to be a blessing, and you may find He has already blessed you far more than you had realized. Our greatest reward and eternal blessings are not of this world. “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:” (Matthew 6:20 (KJV) Know God, know peace Amen 10-27-19 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing an audience wit

A Giving Heart

By -
  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col

Know Peace

By -
  Know Peace   Peace is a product of love. Only through deep love will you discover God and in God there is peace. God is love. Pour out love with legs one to another and don’t expect anything in return. When we love with conditions attached, our unmet expectations can create inner turmoil and feelings of resentment. A mind without the security of knowing God is grieved. It has no lasting peace.   Those who love one another are heard laughing often. Peace of mind is better when you have a laughter-filled life. Laughter is a great antidote for stress and releases hormones that help us relax. ( Ecclesiastes 3:4) “ A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance” Instead of worrying about the past or panicking about the future, enjoy the here and now while looking toward a perfected eternal life. Jesus said, “your time is always.” That’s all we have — this moment in time. Romans 13:11 “ And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out
