PRAY FOR THOSE IN Blindness. Those who do not COMPARE SPIRITUAL THINGS, HATING ALL THE TIME!

Something caught my eye and ear over the last few days regarding sight and understanding or the lack thereof. What factors influence understanding and sight ?. I had a particular problem with a member of the band that I was playing with as he did not play the part given in rehearsal, and the leader of the band was looking at me to admonish him to play what was rehearsed. This was not the first time.He has been put out of the band before I got there and has been admonished several times by the Music director.  I got an angry look and shout "DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN, I am looking at the singers". I took it to the  brother later  first telling him I love him in Jesus BUT.  Then I took it to the group to try to admonish the brother.. For the first time the following scripture relative to rebellion and = witchcraft came to mind (I Samuel 15:23 ) as well as the following scriptures:

From I Corinthians 2:7,8,12-14

NONE of the princes of this world knew hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our Glory, for if they knew it , they would not have crucified the LORD of Glory.. 

We have received not the spirit of this world, but the Spirit which is of God, which things also we speak, not in the words that man's wisdom teach, , but by which the Holy Ghost speaks , COMPARING spiritual things with spiritual,

But the natural man receiveth NOT the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED.

I John 2: 11 tells us that a brother hating another is IN the darkness (Greek 4653) and IN the darkness WALKS (Greek 4043) not knowing (1492),where he is going . The darkness blinded (5186), the eyes (3788) of him..

II Corinthians 3: 12, 13,14

in plainness of speech we have hope, not as Moses
who put a veil over his face, the children of Israel could not steadfastly look, but their minds were BLINDED .

In these last days let us pray for those who hate us and would crucify and shoot us as messengers because of our representing truth in our admonitions in love. Let us pray for their hardened attitude and Blinding Viel be removed as they become more faithful to their relationship with Jesus Christ, or that they establish one in the first place coming out of being carnal Christians to a Spiritual Trusting one in Jesus Christ.

 Let us pray that they hear the plain speech of each Man of God behind the pulpit as well as studying the Word on their own
