Their eyes are closed and they cannot see. Their minds are shut and they cannot think.

WHEN EYES AND MINDS ARE SHUT
A poem and essay by ILMA
When someone’s eyes are closed to the truth
They won’t be able to get deep into the roots
Their minds have been shut and cannot think
They can’t discern so they easily sink.
Their minds have been blinded by the enemy
Without running to God, they won’t have victory
Watch and guard your heart and mind
It will transform you and keep you from being blind.

During those years that I turned my back on God, I was doing all kinds of foolish things. I attracted people whose eyes were close and minds were shut to the truth. So, you could probably imagine what kind of life I lived at those stage of my life. Yes…I wallowed in sin because I was patching the pain with dependency. I wasn’t a drug addict but I was a love addict. I pursued love with a passion, not knowing that this is not the kind of love that will set me free from bondage. I was totally blind to the thing that would set me free: God’s love. My mind was shut from understanding the unconditional love that God has already granted me through the sacrifice of Jesus’ life. I thank God he freed me from this oppression. Now I am free.

Some said, “He’s demon possessed and out of his mind. Why listen to a man like that?” Others said, “This doesn’t sound like a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” – John 10:20-21 (NLT)
WHO MAKES THE BLIND SEE?
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you are blinded by the enemy with lies
It will be difficult to navigate through life
Only Jesus can make the blind see
Only the word of God will set us free.
So why do you let the world corrupt your heart?
Why not renew your minds and make a new start?
Believe in the one and only true Lord and Savior
You will soon enjoy life and burn with fervor.

There are many people who question the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. The trouble with them is that they try to make sense out of everything. When there is no logic or explanation behind something that occurred, it is often very hard for people to accept it as a miracle from God. Many unbelievers think that miracles are spectacular phenomenon, but sometimes God works very quietly in our lives. He does little miracles to change us to become more like him. He does it so subtly that sometimes we fail to actually see the miracle or change he is doing in our hearts. The bible says that only Jesus Christ can make the blind see.
PRAYER
Lord, let me recognize your works in my life.
REFLECTION
What miracles has God done in your life?

GIVING SIGHT TO THE BLIND Poem Devotional

I entered this world to render judgment-to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind. – John 9:39 (NLT)
GIVING SIGHT TO THE BLIND
A poem and essay by ILMA
Jesus came to give sight to the blind
He wants to restore their hearts and minds
He is the only one who can bring life
He alone can make them win their fight.
The Lord will bring judgment to all
This is why he doesn’t want us to fall
Sin can make us confused and wallow in evil
Christ came so we can overcome the devil.
________________________________________
When Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden, they started feeling shame and confusion. That is what sin normally brings about in our lives. The enemy tempt us and sows lies in our minds, which later on penetrates in our hearts if we constantly do it and not confess and repent the sin, it builds up to more sins. This is why the bible always tells us to guard our hearts. An unguarded heart is an entry point to the enemy. A heart that seeks God will be much harder for the enemy to penetrate. King David was known as the man who seizes God’s heart. Jesus Christ came to give judgment, to bring back sight to those who are blind and show those who think that they see that they are blind.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for saving the whole mankind.
REFLECTION
How has the enemy blinded you? What lies did he let you believe for so long?
