Spiritually Blind
Encouraging Words with Pastor Bruce & Suzi Elman
The LORD will use a believer’s personal testimony in powerful ways! As we speak about how GOD has rescued and changed us, the Holy Spirit sparks people’s interest in spiritual things and then uses what we say to help them seek YESHUA as their Savior and Lord!
In John 9:1-7, we learn about a blind man who YESHUA healed. Many people questioned him about how he received his sight. And to each one, he told the facts as he had experienced them. Here’s what he said.
John 9:10-11
They asked, “Who healed you? What happened?” He told them, “The man they call YESHUA made mud and spread it over my eyes and told me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash yourself.’” So I went and washed, and now I can see.
When we obey YESHUA’S commands, people around us will notice that there is something different about us. They will be curious to know why we may have calmness about us we never had before or why we gave up some popular activities or avoid certain places. Just like the blind man did; he received his sight, and before we received YESHUA as our Savior, we too were spiritually blind, but now we can see!
