Atop a few of my books from 1600s-1700s sits a reminder: Are we fixated with being blind and deaf to the wisdom of the past? Have we unwittingly chosen our “spirit-of-the-age” narrative to be the quiet forces of modernism, liberalism and secularism?
How many realize – and even put into practice – that “The way forward is the way back.” Of this truism there can be little doubt – when we consider what humanity is descending into for nearly irreversible deterioration. Have we forgotten the paths of righteousness?
Indeed, new is not always better. Yuval Harari would have us all believe we are still progressing, even taking over where God left off, to use his words. But as C.S. Lewis emphasized, “What are we progressing towards?” Secular and Satanic notions of progress are based on the lie that “There is liberty in licentiousness.”
We have to forget about silly, even dangerous, notions of progress, concocted and promoted by unregenerate sinners and misfits – and listen well to the Voices who spoke, strongly, in the past. Who spoke strongly about the Timeless. We can no longer live in the luxury of being deaf to these Truth Celebrities. Starting with the Holy Spirit and all He spoke through, through the changing centuries, right up to the vital Present Moment….
Ministries of curing blindness and deafness, in the physical realm, will bring a chain of events: Curing the annoying maladies, of blindness and deafness, in ideological and spiritual realms, as well! In our days of growing apostasy, there is now no alternative for true Christians, but to gloriously counter blindness and deafness, on whatever levels, and whatever forms, they are encountered!
