John 12:40

“The Lord has blinded their eyes. He has closed their minds. So they can’t see with their eyes. They can’t understand with their minds. They can’t turn to the Lord. If they could he would heal them.”

When child I thought that everyone knew Jesus. That everyone believed. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I understood that actually many of the people sitting on the front pew of the church really didn’t even believe. Many are simply doing what is expected of them, and they don’t crack their bible after Sunday except to hide more money. That is right I said it everybody that goes to church and serves on all those committees, is not necessarily a believer. Going to church does not make you a believer.

You know when you are with a believer because they walk a little different, they talk a little different. They are not moved easily by the things of this world, because they are walking moment by moment with the Lord. A believer has a testimony in their mouth from the result of the test they have passed. They passed the test remaining in peace, they passed the test remaining in love, they passed the test remaining at rest, as they trust God.

So please don’t be annoyed when you mention your love for God trying to file a praise report as my mom puts it, and the people roll their eyes or give you to putt mouth. You not really talking to them anyway, they aren’t believers. The believer will be the one listening to hear your words, waiting to see if this is their appointment.

You see true believers are always in search of divine appointments. Times and situations set by God for us to encourage or simply pass on a message that may help to open the eyes of others.

This is Tris No H reminding you that God loves you. So don’t you dare be afraid to talk about your love for God and how good he has been to you, haters always have their eyes closed.

Peace
