"The Blind Can't Lead The Blind"




Luke 6:39-40 ~"And He spoke a parable to them: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into the ditch? A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone who is perfectly trained will be like his teacher”~

Acts 9:18~ “And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.”~

Matthew 22:14 ~“For many are called, but few are chosen.”~

1 John 4:1 ~ "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”~

Hey *Y’all! I pray that this message blesses you today. Today’s topic is called “The blind can’t lead the blind." I chose this topic because I have seen so many people fall countless times, because they are following someone who is blind, someone who is blind but pretends to see, or someone who used to see but have lost their vision altogether. When you follow someone who can’t spiritually see you too will not be able to see and you will surely fall into the traps that the enemy has set up for you. The devil doesn’t play fair, and he loves when the blind leads the blind because he can literally get two souls for the price of one! For those of you that are following others blindly I pray that the scales are removed from your eyes and that you become a seer for yourself. There’s nothing wrong with having allies on the road to salvation, but make sure that your allies are spiritually competent to follow. For those of you following someone who is pretending like they can see, but are truly just as blind or blinder than you. I pray that you learn how to test their spirit and look at their fruit. If it is rotten then run as far away as possible -in the opposite direction because it is a trap of the enemy! And lastly if you are following someone that started out on the righteous path, but somehow lost their way then you need to let their hand go too, and continue on without them because they will certainly lead you down the pathway to destruction. Pray that they turn from their evil ways and get back on track.

How can you know for sure if you are following someone who is spiritually blind? 1. Pray about it! God always answers prayers and He will not steer us in the wrong direction-ever! 2. Read the Bible - stay in the Word because it is something we need to live! When we skip on reading the Word it is easier for us to be manipulated by the enemy. 3. Test the Spirit – always test someone’s spirit that you aren’t sure of and if it doesn’t line up with what the Word says then you have most likely been entertained by a blind individual. It is getting harder and harder to live out in this world, and the Word says, “For many are called but few are chosen”. My Brothers and Sisters in Christ If you truly love Jesus and want to go higher then please don’t let anyone trick, scam, or scare you out of your salvation. Be careful about who you follow!

Can anyone out there relate?

Be Blessed *Y’all!
