BIBLE IN A YEAR: Rev 4-6

MIND BLINDNESS

MEMORIZE: "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them" (2 Corinthians 4:4)

READ: 2 Kings 6:18-19

“And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha” (2 Kings 6:18). When the invading Syrian army who had besieged Elisha’s house throughout the night eventually advanced towards him, Elisha asked God to make them blind, and they became blind. Their physical eyes were open but their minds became blind. As a result, whatever their eyes saw could no longer be relayed to their brain and mind for meaningful use. When they met Elisha, they told him they were looking for him and he told them he will help them to locate the person they were looking for.

When their minds were blinded, they became zombies. As a result of mind-blindness when they saw their enemy, they mistook him for a friend. They thanked him for offering to assist them to locate their target. It is a dangerous thing for the eyes of your soul to be blind. In the name of Jesus, the Lord will blind the eyes of your enemies concerning you. “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” (2 Corinthians 4:4). Those who are not born again are targets for blindness of the mind. When the mind is blind, the most essential becomes the least important. One reason some people are still resisting the Gospel of Jesus Christ is because Satan has blinded their minds. The blindfold is spiritual in nature hence you will need to engage forces behind the blindfold in warfare.

When you defeat them in the place of prayer, the blindfold would be removed and they would easily respond to the call to salvation. When your mind is blind, your heart will be void of light; darkness will occupy such a heart. Some believers are also victims of mind blindness. If you find it difficult to prioritize, and end up wasting resources on trivialities, it is because there is a wool over your mind. When some people receive a major financial provision, they come under some influence that pushes them to spend foolishly. They forget the major things they should have done. But after the money is spent, they would be back to their senses, and list the salient things they could have done. If you are undergoing such a situation, I command every spiritual veil over your mind to be roasted now. The eyes of your mind shall be full of light and begin to see again in Jesus’ Name.

ACTIONPOINT: Ask that God should deliver you from any form of blindness. Pray that agents of darkness out to attack you be struck with mind blindness.
