SPIRITUALLY BLIND LOOKS LIKE INSANITY

SPIRITUALLY BLIND LOOKS LIKE INSANITY

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. A spiritually blind person does the same thing over and over, each time hoping for a different result. When you understand that "he that is blind walks in darkness and does not know where he is going" John 12:35 (KJV) but continually gropes the same way, and over and over walks into the same walls. Some times he convinces himself that things are different but in reality, He is still lost, just lost in a different part of the city.

So what if you are being blinded with a good job, money in the bank, and a beautiful home. You just happen to be lost in the good part of town. "What advantage has the wise man over the fool, being worldly-wise is not the secret to happiness? Don't jump to conclusions here because, What advantage has the poor man who has learned how to walk before the living publicly, with men's eyes upon him; being poor is not the secret to happiness either?" Ecclesiastes 6:8 (AMP) Going to hell in a limo or a box car, what's the difference if the destination is the same.

On the trip some live lavishly and some beg, yet the beggar has a far better chance of getting on a boxcar headed the other way, than the rich does of turning his limo around.
"For it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle''s eye than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Luke 18:25 (AMP) Now this has absolutely nothing to do with Me, because I am "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)

There are many rich blind pastors, that think they they are blessed by Me saying, "I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked." Revelation 3:17 (AMP) Spiritually blind has nothing to do with status, in life, but all to do with light and darkness. Those who walk and talk with Me are people of the light. "If you say that you have fellowship with Me, and walk in darkness, you lie, and do not the truth: [7] But if you walk in the light, as I am in the light, you have fellowship one with another, and My blood cleanses you from all sin." 1 John 1:6-7 (KJV)

The question with the spiritually blind is where is your heart? "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6:21 (KJV) The treasure of the poor may be a dime or a basket full of collected cans, and for the rich it may be a hundred thousand dollars, but neither heart is in love with Me. If the widow had kept her mites back in fear of starvation, her heart position would be the same as the rich. "But because she threw in her last two mites, which make a farthing. [43] I told My disciples, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow has cast more in, than all the rich combined, have cast into the treasury:" Mark 12:42-43 (KJV)

The widow loved Me, and displayed it by what she had left over, after her giving. For the rich to give over and over and expect different spiritual results is still insanity. The heart of the giver is the issue; It's why are you giving? not, how much are you giving? Are you giving out of obedience and obeying out of love, is the question? Do I have you heart? I don't care about anything else? I know this, by how much time you spend with Me each day. Time is the real treasure of both rich and poor. So today, count it up, what portion of 24 am I going to get. 1/24th is not exactly a good heart condition.

My friend, you must fall deeper in love with Me so "the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things, do not creep in and choke and suffocate the living Word, and it becomes fruitless." Mark 4:19 (AMP) Listen dear one, "If you desire to be My disciple, you must deny yourself, disregard, lose sight of, and forget yourself and your own self interests and take up your cross and follow Me, that is, cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying, also." Matthew 16:24 (AMP)

You will, at this point, no longer be blind, or insane doing the same things over and over expecting different results, but "children of light, and the children of the day: no longer of the night, nor of darkness." 1 Thessalonians 5:5 (KJV)
