Even If I Am Blind For A Season

  • Base Scriptures: Acts 9:7-20 EASY

When God Stops Your Plan

Acts 9:4 Saul fell down on the ground. He heard a voice which said to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you fight against me?’

Easy

Man… when I read this in the EASY translation, I was so shocked about how much this relates to my life as a Christian…. And I think you will be to. Just a little back drop about The Apostle Paul.

 Before the Apostle Paul encountered Jesus, he was determined to persecute Christians. I mean he was playing no games. He was getting letters, running up on people, probably banging on doors, going from house to house… like the Apostle Paul was probably one of those “it’s on sight when I see you” type of people.

Like in my mind this how I see him

So Saul met Jesus, and we know Jesus is real.. He is so beautiful but He can turn up in a second… Don’t believe me? Look at these verses

  • Exodus 15:3 The LORD is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!

New Living Translation

  • Exodus 12:29 And that night at midnight, the LORD

struck down all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn son of the prisoner in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of their livestock were killed.

New Living Translation

  • Exodus 14:26 When all the Israelites had reached the other side, the LORD said to Moses, “Raise your hand over the sea again. Then the waters will rush back and cover the Egyptians and their chariots and charioteers.” 27 So as the sun began to rise, Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the water rushed back into its usual place. The Egyptians tried to escape, but the LORD swept them into the sea.

New Living Translation

Basically, Jesus blinded the Apostle Paul and he couldn’t see, couldn’t eat, and he started praying… Now how does this relate to you ?

  • My story: when Jesus first started dealing with me it was a big No for me. Infact, I told God I would never serve him. Then one day, after I lost everything in the wilderness I heard the Lord God Jesus say “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

There Is A Time In Your Christianity Where You May Feel Blind

  • For a moment, and there are still some times, where I can’t see where I am going like the Apostle Paul. I hear God, I pray to God, and I may have a dream about what God is saying… but I can’t see.. But I know that it is a consequence for what I have done. A lot of time in Christianity we forget that we must repent and there are many repercussions and consequence for our sin. During this time the Apostle Paul was being chastened. I’m sure he may have been scared, I’m sure he may have been afraid.. I mean he was blind, couldn’t eat, drink.. but what did he do? Pray.
  • According to Genesis 50:20 God is going to do something good out of your situation.
  • According to 1 Thessalonians 5:17 we know that we are commanded to pray.
  • According to The Bible  (King James Version) Psalms 23:4  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.  
  • God is with you. Just keep on praying (Matthew 7:7-11). God is dealing with someone about you and He is ready to use them for your deliverance. Praise God for Opened Doors!

Get To Work

True Disciples

Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who calls out to me,

‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of

Heaven. Only those who actually do

the will of my Father in heaven will

enter. 22 On judgement day many will say

to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in

your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many

miracles in your name.’ 23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

YOU HAVE WORK TO DO. DO NOT WAIT FOR PERFECT CONDITIONS.

  • Ecclesiastes 11:4 Living Bible (TLB)

4 If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done.

No every one is not called to be a preacher, honestly most of you couldn’t handle it. Every one is not a prophet and everyone is not going to heaven. Work out your own salvation in according to Philippians 2:12-13. While The Apostle Paul was blind, he was focused on God and praying and that is how his deliverance came. So what are you doing? Are you in a fantasy waiting on some random boyfriend or girlfriend (understand that I do not stand for homosexuality In Jesus Name) to come save you from your troubles? What does the BIBLE say ?

  • Proverbs 12:11 Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies have no sense. (New International Version)
  • Proverbs 28:19 A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty. (New Living Translation)
  • 1 Corinthians 6:9 Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, 10 or are thieves, or greedy people, or drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people-none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God. 11 Some of you were once like that. But you were cleansed; you were made holy; you were made right with God by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (NLT)

Are you being messy while blind? You’re waiting on God but you’re gossiping, being petty, and being mean… what do you think is going to happen to you ?

  • Revelation 2:11 “Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches. Whoever is victorious will not be harmed by the second death. (NLT)
  • Revelation 3:17 “You say, ‘I am rich. I have everything I want. I don’t need a thing!’ And you don’t realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. (NLT)

Repent and Turn From Your Wicked Ways.

  • Revelation 3:18-19 NLT

Have a blessed day,

It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise. And so a whole nation came from this one man who was as good as dead—a nation with so many people that, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them. All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth. Obviously people who say such things are looking forward to a country they can call their own. If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back. But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God’s promises, was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac,

Each Of Us Is An Original

  • In my prayer time God began to deal with me about love. What it really means to love. A lot of us Christian’s are in a deep amount of pain and we have used people as idols to deal with this pain…. but it’s not going so good right now .
  1. People are not your God

No other gods, only me.
Exodus 20:3 MSG
https://bible.com/bible/97/exo.20.3.MSG

2. People make MANY mistakes that is why we all have to repent .

But in our time something new has been added. What Moses and the prophets witnessed to all those years has happened. The God-setting-things-right that we read about has become Jesus-setting-things-right for us. And not only for us, but for everyone who believes in him. For there is no difference between us and them in this. Since we’ve compiled this long and sorry record as sinners (both us and them) and proved that we are utterly incapable of living the glorious lives God wills for us, God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we’re in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:21‭-‬24 MSG

3. Sometimes people abuse other people.

Don’t you realize that I have my shelves well stocked, locked behind iron doors? I’m in charge of vengeance and payback, just waiting for them to slip up; And the day of their doom is just around the corner, sudden and swift and sure.
Deuteronomy 32:34‭-‬35 MSG

My Testimony

I am someone who God has healed from many things. I was abused as a child, rape, molestation, and very toxic unhealthy relationships were just a average part of my life.

There was a time when God warned me not to go back to my family and let them go but I didnt listen. I just wanted love. I went back and the sad reality hit me. My family did not love me nor where they capable to. There version of love is perverted and not the will of God. So …. what God told me was true and right and I was wrong .

There was a time in my life where I have dealt with my family making fun of incest in the midst of abuse….. I felt like nothing….

After many trials I finally came to the conclusion that I would rather endure with God , pray, go through trials, and suffer many things for His name sake than to go back to toxic family members who sweep what they have done under the rug. I would rather be homeless and follow Jesus than to be in a home where I have to walk past pictures of who and what happened to me. Because I have faith and believe that God is Adonai .

“Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied: I’m about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise, Lay your foundations with sapphires, construct your towers with rubies, Your gates with jewels, and all your walls with precious stones. All your children will have God for their teacher— what a mentor for your children! You’ll be built solid, grounded in righteousness, far from any trouble—nothing to fear! far from terror—it won’t even come close! If anyone attacks you, don’t for a moment suppose that I sent them, And if any should attack, nothing will come of it. I create the blacksmith who fires up his forge and makes a weapon designed to kill. I also create the destroyer— but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged. Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar. This is what God ’s servants can expect. I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.” God ’s Decree.
Isaiah 54:11‭-‬17 MSG

A little more to my story. The people who abused me were people of “ministry”. With that being said,

Today, if you are in situation where there is blatant abuse in your family, ministry , or relationships dont take bad advice that tell you “its family ” and “just go back home because nothing happened to you.” No. Fight the good fight and trust God. Do your absolute best to trust God. God made you an beautiful, ordained, and a anointed original. Pure. Beautiful. Kind. Smart. Intelligent. Wealthy. Fearing God. Successful. And Prosperous.

And God Is Ready For You To Be Free.
