Hello Everyone
I was reading Ray’s Lake of Fire Part 15-C when lightening struck! Ray wrote:
“In whom THE GOD OF THIS WORLD has blinded the minds of them which believe…(just ask yourselves if you really believe all of the Scriptures that I am presenting in this paper?…)…believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, Who is the Image of God, should shine unto them” (2 Cor 4:4)
For a few years now, I have been aware of how much evil I was seeing and I did not want to see it. Have you ever felt this way? The more I saw the more I did not want to see and it was distressing to me especially as Christ says….Matt 24;6 And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, for the end is not yet.”……so, Yes Sure!….I know NOT to be troubled, but I was…..I KNOW not to be frightened, but I have be unnerved….!
Gradually I began experiencing that I preferred not to watch or be aware of any bad news so I stopped watching the TV news. Has this ever happened to you? But… Did that stop me from hearing about 9.11….No!….I found that I moved further away from watching anything associated with violence, immorality and crime that is so part of Hollywood entertainment. ..but that did not help. The darkness got thicker and the evil I was seeing became more and more and more…..Yes sure….be not troubled but I was troubled! Then, like I said, Gods lightening struck as I re-read the above verse in Rays LOF especially appreciating how he presented it …”In whom THE GOD OF THIS WORLD has blinded the minds of them which believe………of them which believe…..OF THEM WHICH BELIEVE! HEY! I BELIEVE!….THEN..…..I REALIZED that seeing the darkness and knowing it is of Satan is part of SEEING! It is part of not being BLIND! NOT believing that SATAN IS THE GOD OF THIS WORLD is BLINDNESS! …and trying to run, escape, not look just showed how poor my faith has been in a Sovereign God. This darkness and evil in the world was ruling, intimidating and threatening me….I ran from the dark because it upset me. The dark made me fearful and anxious and now GOD makes me see, that I see. This has been a major TURN AROUND AND blessing for me!
I had been going around and around the mountain, like the Hebrew children did for 40 years even though their destination was some two weeks away. I was going around and around the walls of Jericho, dodging the shadows of the walls of evil against me…thinking I understood, feeling concerned with the darkness and evil and then THANKS TO GOD …the walls of my self-stylised understanding came down! Since this revelation has come to me I CAN FACE EVIL with a
different understanding…and it is such a relief!…I was in bondage for years on this one!….and all this goes to show is that I was not believing in the Sovereignty of God….I was believing in the sovereignty of evil……………and now by Gods Grace I am BEGINNING to believe GOD!…..and it is wonderful!.
