God
thinking has a high and lofty view of God.
God
thinking takes advantage of the moment and everyone benefits.
God
thinking demands that you follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and that you
allow God to move you, despite the unbelief that is ever present around you.
Matthew
20:30-34
“And,
behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus
passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
V31 And
the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they
cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
V32 And
Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do
for you?
V33 They
say unto Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
V34 So
Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their
eyes received sight, and they followed Him.
“And,
behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus
passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David.
First: Don’t
ever think that you are not needed for the spreading of the gospel. The great commission is not the great
suggestion.
Had not
someone told these two blind men about Jesus, Jesus could have passed by
without their even knowing it. Jesus is
here, among us and you must tell the blind, (the blind in
sight and the blind in spirit) that Jesus is here.
Somebody,
has told everybody, who has come to the Lord, that the Lord was passing by
(near) and aren’t you glad for that somebody that told you Jesus was (near).
Second: When you
recognize your total inadequacy (blindness) and you recognize God’s
All-Sufficiency you cry out.
You cry
out for mercy to the All-Merciful God.
When you
see that God has what you need or desire, you should cry out.
In your
blindness you too should cry out. But I
am not sure that we are that hungry for what God has that we do not have.
Healing a
person’s blindness is not a difficult task for God. Healing your blindness is not a difficult task
for God.
But if
Jesus were coming to town (in the flesh) to hold a healing seminar, would you be
there? Would you push forward and cry out
for a touch from God?'
