Title: Spiritual Blindness
Contents
Bible Reading: 29:1-24
Subject: Spiritual blindness
Israel has fallen into a spiritual numbness with moral depravity and pride, and is calling upon God's discipline.
1. The cause of spiritual ignorance (9-10)-Spiritual ignorance stems from the severance of love and interest in God.
Spiritual ignorance is due to sloth and pride. (Isa 29:9-10) “Their staggering was not because of strong drink.
For the LORD has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and he has closed your eyes."
Spiritual insensitivity leads to spiritual death in which we cannot discern the truth of God.
If you fall into spiritual ignorance, you love darkness more than light (John 3:19) And this is the condemnation, that is, light
came into the world, but men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
The eyes that see the vision of God will be darkened and you will be put to shame.
2. Spiritual ignorance of not seeing the apocalypse (11-12)-'Therefore, all revelations are to you as if they were sealed.
As the book says, 'If your relationship with God is cut off and you become spiritually ignorant,
It's possible. It is like being unable to read the text of a sealed book.
Spiritual ignorance makes the learned and the ignorant alike fail to realize.
The truth of God comes from seeing and thinking with your heart. You simply read the Word in writing.
Because listening doesn't make you aware.
(1 Corinthians 2:14) The natural do not receive the works of the Spirit of God, and to them they seem foolish.
And I do not understand, for these things are only discerned spiritually.
3. Consequences of spiritual ignorance - If you fall into spiritual ignorance, you will reject the truth of God and you will not believe in God.
You will even forget that you are a child. Rather, let us fall into the guise of Satan who opposes God.
It's possible.
The consequences of spiritual ignorance are disastrous. When the Lord comes again, those who do not wake up like a thief
We cannot welcome the coming Lord.
4. Even on the completely destroyed ruins, if you have hope for recovery, you can overcome that environment enough. The only sure way is God's promise.
Because God's promise is the sure way to overcome all despair,
The Saints should never despair or give up under any circumstances.
5. God restores the people.
1) The ears of the deaf and the eyes of the blind are restored.
2) Joy abounds to the humble and the needy.
3) The chosen people will enjoy happiness.
God's purpose is our happiness.
6. Commitment and prayer
1) Be spiritually sensitive!
2) Gold: for pastors
For the preparation of the Word and for life / For the pastors and missionaries of this land
