Welcome to Reverend Patty's Inspiration Station
podcast. Now more than ever we need the presence
of the inner ticker of life to awaken, nurture,
and direct our steps. We are spiritual beings
walking in a world bombarded by rapid changes.
Remember who you are and wherever you roam, you
are not alone. Jesus said, I am with you always.
I am always with you forever. Hello Kindreds,
emotions that roar like waves rolling into the
shore produce spiritual blindness. There is a
duality when it comes to emotions, creating a
longing or connection deep within. On the flip
side, there is an outer force, enticing one to
take on the temperature or energy floating in
the air, creating a collision course and one
soul. There comes a time when there is a tipping
or breaking point. One has had enough of the
darkness that prevails, the name calling, the
anger, the finger pointing, the blame, the ability
to appear superior based on one's political or
religious views. From judgment stems righteous
indignation, lack of respect for another being's
journey. All this junk brings about spiritual
blindness. Not much has happened since the time
of Jesus. Many false witnesses spoke against
Jesus. At one point during his journey, Jesus
was dragged before a council and was asked, Are
you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?
Jesus replied, I am. Then they spat in his face
and blindfolded him. The collective thinking
became futile and hearts were darkened. Jesus
said, I was condemned because of who I was. Fear
came out in great forces. It was not my will
to stop the storms. I wanted man to see me, but
she or he did not have eyes to see or ears to
hear. I recently was on the receiving end of
an attack of spiritual blindness where one came
against me. It is especially difficult to believe
when it is someone you know spewing words of
darkness. Initially, I was in shock that it happened
and needed time to come back to center. I had
to search my heart and begin to pray, shaking
off the load of debris thrown at me in an attempt
to disrupt my walk with Christ. Words can build
you up or break you down. It is in moments like
these that I have to pause and ask the Lord for
help. Jesus came so all can have peace and a
way forward. God's plans are to give us hope
and a future, not disaster. When we entrust to
Christ the issues that keep us from him, he enables
us to discover this reality. And calm and trust
will be your strength. Today's message. Rise
up in prayer. See me in the eyes of another.
Move beyond the limitations of sight. Rip off
the glasses of spiritual darkness and blindness.
Open up the eyes of your heart. Take time to
reach out and lift up another wounded soul. Invite
them into my precious presence so all can come
together in unity and love. In closing, let us
pray. Jesus, open my eyes. Let my eyes be your
eyes. Jesus, open my ears. Let my ears be your
ears. Jesus, open my mouth. Let my words be your
words. Jesus, open my heart. Let my heart be
your heart. Jesus, be my everything. Amen. Thanks
