There isn't a blind person alive who doesn't have issues of blindness which
need to be addressed. I thought I was different. Me? Not me. I mean, I
am well adjusted. I could do anything I wanted. You cannot believe how
many places the Lord has taken me in my blindness to heal areas where the
Enemy implanted lies. One day I was praying out of my pain and I asked the
Lord where this went. It was when my mom and three sisters left me at the
school for the blind. Scared? Frightened to death is more like it. We all
stood at the front door and cried and held each other. The mobility
instructer was standing near us and my mother apologized to him for being so
upset. He said, don't mind me. I went to a school for the blind, too, and
I know exactly what this is all about and then he stepped back further to
indicate he was giving us all the room we needed to say our goodbyes. My
mother and sisters kept saying, we will see you in four and a half days on
Friday and you'll be home. I kept saying, I'll never see any of you again.
During my prayer time of this event in recent months, I could not figure out
why the Lord was bringing this memory to my mind. He said, examine what you
said. I went over and over it but never saw it. Finally the Lord said,
What did you say to your family? I said, I told them I would never see them
again. Bingo! That was the lie implanted in my thinking. Jesus exposed it
for what it was; a lie. The Enemy tried slipping that one in on me when I
least expected it but now it is gone from that memory. I can go back now to
that memory a thousand times and I feel no pain any longer. As I said, I
have never meant a blind person who didn't have tons of similar events still
jammed into their memories which still cause them pain today. We think we
have adjusted. We raise children and hold down jobs. We go to church and
are normal members of society. But we all have little secret lies implanted
in our thinking that the Enemy implanted at times we couldn't process truth.
If they are not removed, they fester and come out when they our triggered by
every day life. So it is with our children. The Enemy has slipped in
similar lies into their young minds at times of emotional episodes and they
were unable to process God's truth. If we find those lies, the Lord heals
them, and they are set free and so it can be with you. If you think you
don't have any of these lies as a blind person, you are being lied to again.
Phil.
