Poor

These are the words of the faithful and true witness... You say, "I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing." But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.

Buy from me gold refined in the fire, so that you can become rich; and withe clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

This was the image that came to mind during the prayer walk. Its so sad! People are going around thinking that they are rich and secure and safe, yet they do not realize that if Christ is not in the picture, nothing we do have any worth! Who have I in heaven but you? Even the splendors of Heaven are not worth anything if He is not in it. How much more the perishing goods of the earth?

It was as though the people walking around are the dry bones in the valley, just like what Ezekiel saw. They need the breath of God to breath in them so that they can really live!

For the god of this age had blinded the eyes of people... It is a lie. Its a powerful lie, but a lie never the less. It is the same lie as in the garden of Eden, that says that we can be happier without God.

People who had been set free.... are really in a privileged position. But woe to us if we do not share it.
