When you are sharing the Good News with others, do you ever wonder why others can’t see or hear what you are saying?
No matter how you are trying to deliver the message they don’t get it? Discover why that happens and how to make it easier to share the Good News.
Do you ever feel like you are talking to a wall when trying to share your faith or the Good News with someone? What may seem clear to you is not getting through to the person you are talking too? You can’t help wondering if they are blind to the truth?
In reading YHWH’s word, we find the answers throughout the Bible. If we search out the truth, He will open our eyes to see.
2 Corinthians 3
What is more, their minds were made stone-like/blinded; for to this day the same veil remains over them when they read the Old Covenant; it has not been unveiled, because only by the Messiah is the veil taken away.
Yes, till today, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart. “But,” says the Torah, “whenever someone turns to Adonai, the veil is taken away.” Now, “Adonai” in this text means the Spirit. And where the Spirit of Adonai is, there is freedom! So all of us, with faces unveiled, see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord; and we are being changed into his very image, from one degree of glory to the next, by Adonai the Spirit.
So don’t be discouraged. Keep praying, Keep sharing. Our Messiah will remove the veil from someone’s eyes when He is ready. It’s not our duty to remove it for them; It our duty as believers to share YHWH’s love.
Why are so many people blinded to the truth of God’s word?
There are many people in the world who are blinded to the truth of God’s word. They don’t believe that His word is true and they don’t want to follow it. However, there are also many people who are willing to follow God’s word and live according to His truth. 2 Corinthians 3 is a good example of this. In this passage, Paul tells us that even though we may be blinded to the truth, God will still lead us into all truth if we follow Him. This is an encouragement for all of us who want to follow God but may feel like we’re not doing it perfectly. We can trust that He will guide us and help us grow in our understanding of His word. Don’t complicate the process, trust Him; His yoke is easy.
So many people are blinded to the truth of God’s word because they don’t read it for themselves
We are living in a world full of distractions and lies, where our minds can become clouded with doubt and unhappiness. Unfortunately, so many people go through life without ever truly learning for themselves what God’s word contains. Without understanding the power of His teachings, they are unable to see the truth that resides within each verse of the Bible. Without studying God’s Word firsthand you are are left to believe whatever anyone tells you it says; that’s where false teachers have a field day with the blinded ones. Reading the Bible for ourselves is essential to refocusing our lives on God’s greater plan for us and learning His whole truth that He has written for us. By studying His Word regularly, we can gain a better perspective on what it means to live a wholesome life in accordance with His will and experience true joy and peace. Even if you haven’t opened your Bible for some time, open it now. Start making God an integral part of your life and discover the hidden truths that lie within His word; they are His gift to you. In His Word you will find out how much He loves you and you will find your true identity in Him and your worth.
The blinded rely on other people’s interpretation and understanding of scripture
Biblical interpretation is a manner of understanding and knowing scripture that requires dedication, patience, and an attitude of willingness to learn. It’s an easy task that the world complicates to prevent you from studying your Bible yourself. As a result, many people rely on other people to interpret the Bible for them thereby not learning the whole truth God has for them firsthand. When someone depends upon other individual interpretations it can commonly leave one vulnerable, and easy to learn someone else’s interpretation instead of the direct truth that God has for you when you spend time in the word together. There is incredible value in being surrounded by knowledge and faith that can give gospel-based encouragement when life becomes difficult, but it’s important to not give up a personal relationship with the Father to have someone else tell you His truth. Allow the Father to teach you, (1 John 2:27). Then when your priorities are in order with the Father, He will connect you with people that can help you learn truth that lines up with His word. Line everything up with His word and you will be on the right track with His plan for you.
They don’t take the time to study and pray over what they’re reading
Taking the time to really study and pray over scripture can be difficult in our busy lives. It often requires discipline, thoughtfulness, and intentional effort. However, if we make it a priority, the rewards can be eternal. Scripture-based knowledge will help you to better understand God’s power and love. Additionally, prayer is a powerful form of communication that allows us to converse with our Heavenly Father who deeply desires to transform us into Messanic-like beings. Taking time out of your day for these divine practices not only helps us grow closer as believers in the Messiah but also gives us greater insight into God’s majestic plan for our lives.
As a result, they’re not getting the full benefit of God’s word in their lives
As believers, we are called to cling to God’s word and study it daily. His word is filled with life-giving guidance, strength in times of trial, and a path for us to return to Him. Unfortunately, too many of us allow worldly distractions or concerns to keep us from grasping the full benefit of immersing ourselves in His teachings. It is vital that we take time each day to meditate on scripture so that we can experience the assurance, comfort, and peace that comes when placed under the banner of God’s loving word. Make it your goal today to seek out God’s message in any way possible and trust you will be transformed through your time with Him.
If you want to understand the Bible better, you need to study the whole Bible for yourself and ask God to help you interpret it correctly
Are you looking to gain a better understanding of God’s Word? While there are many resources available, such as Bible commentaries and congregational studies, to help you along the way, we must remember that the ways of the Lord are meant for each individual believer to explore. As you read through scripture and ask for Yeshua’s guidance in deciphering what it all means to you personally, an unexpected discovery may appear – an intimate relationship with your Heavenly Father. You see, when we delve deeply into our Bible study and immerse ourselves in His teachings, He will see our devotion and give us the insight we need from his ultimate source of truth. So take courage and let prayer be the tool by which you can unlock its timeless wisdom.
So many people are blinded to the truth of God’s word because they don’t read it for themselves. They rely on other people’s interpretation and understanding of scripture. They don’t take the time to study and pray over what they’re reading. As a result, they’re not getting the full benefit of God’s word in their lives. If you want to understand the Bible better, you need to study the whole Bible for yourself and ask God to help you interpret it correctly. Allow Him to open your eyes to His truth.
For those that aren’t ready to hear His truth, keep praying for them. Keep being an example of Yeshua for them to witness. Be the light to them for Him. Your consistency will pay off. Remember, it’s not your responsibility to save someone, it’s your responsibility to be His vessel to work through.
What a delightful thought!
I invite you to search the Truth yourself. Test it. (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
Please go to your Bible and study the entire story. See firsthand what His word says and what He wants to show you. I always check several versions to allow the Spirit to show me the difference and truth. I recommend you do the same.
Enjoy pondering that thought today!
God bless you
