"Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your Law." - Psalm 119:18
The psalmist is talking about God's Law. Which is His will. Some people do not understand, and this is mainly because of their type of mindset. What they think, what they say. "Nothing that enters somebody from the outside can defile someone; but the things that come out of a them , that is what defiles them" - Mark 7:15. As Christian, we represent God in His manner and our mission is to lead others to the Saviour. What we do and think and say, all have to be a part of God's Will. God may want someone to be an evangelist, but not to jump into it immediately. We should remember Who is in control. Jesus. When the psalmist says "open my eyes", what does that mean? Jesus answers this question with the teachers of the law in John 9: 39-41:
'Jesus
said, “I came into this world so that the world
could be judged. I came so that the blind could see and so that those who see will become blind.” Some of the Pharisees were near Jesus.
When they heard him say this, they asked, “What? Are you saying that we are
blind, too?” Jesus said, “If you were really blind, you would not be
guilty of sin. But now that you say you can see, your guilt remains.” '
When Jesus talked about blindness, He was talking about not seeing the light. Not seeing that Jesus was the Son of God, sent to save. Satan had blinded them so that they could defile, have a wrong mindset, and make sure they are over the limit on self-reliance. He fills them up them up with so much pride, they think they can over power. And Satan uses one, famous, but also can-be-bent reality. Christianity. This is because so many people are looking for a way out, and would do anything to, if it has anything to do with Christianity. This diverses many people, and shows us what Jesus meant in Matthew 7:15. “Beware of false prophets, who come to you
in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”
This verse shows not to hear and absorb what everyone else is. We should see with our spiritual eyes, (which should be OPENED) for any enemy diversions or attacks. We, as Christians are not like other people. We are a chosen generation (1 Peter 2:9). The Bible says in 1 John 1:6 not to believe everything we see or hear as chosen people. "1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 4You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error." - 1 John 1:6
This is powerful! I advise every Christian to read this to understand God's warning written out, clearly, by John the Divine. Beware of false Prophets!
