THE ABILITY TO SEE GOD
A patient came to my clinic in Saudi Arabia with a history of sudden and profound visual loss. I looked at the optic nerves in the back of his eyes, and they appeared chalky white. Such an appearance is typical for damage caused by drinking methanol.
In the culture in which I was working, it was forbidden to drink alcohol. Therefore, it was difficult for the average man on the street to find legal sources of alcohol. I questioned this man about drinking, and he steadfastly denied he had ingested any forbidden substances. The appearance of his optic nerves told a different story.
For about fifteen minutes I questioned him on different things he might have imbibed. Finally, he admitted he had taken a bottle of perfume, poured it into a cup, and drank the whole thing.
When he awoke the next morning, he noticed that his bedroom seemed dark. He asked his wife to open the windows so light could shine into the room. His vision was so bad he didn't know there was daylight streaming into the room. He had irreversible blindness caused by drinking perfume containing methanol.
I have examined many patients who are blind from putting methanol into their body. No one can tell me it doesn't matter what you put into your body.
I have also examined many people who have put toxic waste into their mind. They are now spiritually blind and have lost their ability to see God. No one can tell me it doesn't matter what you put into your mind.
What you put into your mind affects your inner vision. When you spend years polluting your mind with toxic waste, you become spiritually blind and lose your ability to see God.
People act as if what they put into their mind doesn't matter. They freely sample everything on the smorgasbord of life and fill their mind with garbage and toxic waste. One day they wake up and realize they can't see God.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." Jesus was talking about the Law of Spiritual Vision. What is this law?
The Law of Spiritual Vision states: "Only the pure in heart can see God." The pure in heart have a special blessing. They have twenty-twenty spiritual vision, and they can see God at work in their life.
What you put into your heart and mind is vitally important because it determines your ability to see God at work in your world.
