“But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord”. 2 Corinthians 3:14-18

Their minds, not their eyes, were blinded. It takes an open face to see, and everything you see compels change. That’s why I say revelation commands revolution.

You will require revelation to see good reports come your way. You hear it once, and then the second hearing is when you see it – Once has God spoken twice I heard, that power belongeth unto God (Psalms 62:11).

For any kind of change to take place in your life, all you need is to imbibe or cultivate the level of faith required to deliver it to you.

“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them”. 2 Corinthians 4:4

When your mind is blinded, you can’t believe. They say, “He himself took your infirmities,” you say, “I can’t see it.” “He bore your sicknesses,” you say, “I’ve heard that long enough.” That’s because you can’t see it. That’s the ministry of “the god of this world.” He blinds the minds of men, so that they can’t believe.

When you are blinded internally, you can’t believe. Satan blinds people’s minds, so as to keep them in perpetual captivity. 

No man whose mind is blinded can believe anything. Since it’s to you according to your faith, what you can’t believe, you can’t become (John 1:12). Satan knows you can’t have a change in your life without faith, and that you can’t have faith with blinded mind. So, he goes on to blind peoples’ minds.

When you want to pay your tithe, he comes to you, saying, “Are you going to pay your tithe? It will affect your budget and tamper with your business.” Why? He wants to keep you a captive of poverty. But he cannot do that until he has succeeded in blinding your mind.

When your mind is blinded, faith is completely out of the way. Abraham, the father of faith, began his journey into blessings by seeing them.

“And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever”. Genesis 13:14-15

You can’t believe it without seeing it, and you can’t become what you don’t believe. That’s why revelation is the most crucial course in the school of faith. Pray now that the Lord should make this your eye-opening season, where you will begin to see the things written concerning you in The Book. Jesus opened The Book and read the things written concerning Him (Luke 4:17-19). You, too, must see!

Say to God, “Open my eyes to see the things written concerning me, the things pertaining to me and the things written about me. Open my eyes to behold the wondrous things concerning me out of the Book of the law.” You can’t see it and miss it! You will begin to see it from now, in Jesus’ precious name! A change awaits you, beginning in your spiritual eye!

That blindness which is not allowing you to see the things that concern you and pertain to you in the Word of God, is dropping off now, in Jesus’ name. I see your understanding in the scriptures supernaturally opened, in the name of Jesus! Beginning from now, you will be a surprise to yourself in the school of revelation, in the name of Jesus!

You can’t see it and doubt it, you can’t see it and not say it, and you can’t say it and not have it. Revelation is the baseline for faith that works! Decree an eye-opening miracle for yourself right now!..
