BLIND MAN CAN NOW SEE, THANKS TO MAYO CLINIC!
Alan wasn’t born blind, but when he developed a condition called, retinitis pigmentosa (RP), he eventually became blind. Once a chemist, Alan has now taught himself woodworking. He is now 68 years old and completely blind. All of that changed because of developing advancements and The Mayo Clinic. Now, Alan is now able to recognize changes in light and see his wife for the first time, with partial vision. As you can imagine, it is an inspiring moment and an emotional moment for Alan and his wife. As Alan excitingly embraces the doctor for his developments, many would have the same reaction.
This is exactly what Jesus Christ came to do for all men when He came into the world. John 1:4-5 describes Jesus, “In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness…” This is exactly where we are before committing our lives to Jesus. We are in a life of darkness. When we make a decision of repentance and commitment, the light of Jesus Christ allows us to see. More specifically, when Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus in John 3:3, He said, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.” We are blind to the things of The Kingdom. But because of Jesus Christ, we are truly able to see. This is why there is such exuberant excitement when someone says yes to Jesus. One moment they are blind, and the next moment, everything makes sense. If you haven’t made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, you can.
The same happened when Heidi Baker was witnessing to a man that asked her for some money. He was completely blind, unable to see the sun. She invited him to a gathering and was prayed for. After getting prayed for again, his eyesight was completely restored. Then he gave his life to Jesus Christ, walked across the street and got baptized. Heidi Baker shares about the encounter, “So they got double sight, saved and healed. Isn’t that neat!”
It is beautiful what is taking place within The Mayo Clinic, BUT GOD has been restoring eyes COMPLETELY. When Daniel Kolenda was sharing the Gospel, he didn’t know that God was going to completely restore a woman’s sight. After getting healed in one eye, she returns the next days and God COMPLETELY restores her vision! We have doctors that practice medicine, but Jesus is The Great Physician!

“CAN YOU BRING GOD INTO THE WORK PLACE?” FORTUNE 100 CEO & U.S. CONSTITUTION SAYS YES! FRED SIEVERT TELLS ALL ABOUT IT IN HIS BOOK “GOD REVEALED”
In our changing culture, some would perceive that God and the workplace are separate topics and not to be woven together. This idea goes against the very words of the 1stAmendment of The Constitution. As former President of NY Life, this is exactly what Fred Sievert realized. He was president of the company for five years. He shares that he prays throughout his day, while at work, and that he used to think that prayer and worship was something done only on Sundays. Sievert also wrote God Revealed that details his discoveries. Yes, we can bring God into the workplace. Hear the full statements from Sievert, what our Constitutional rights are, and so much more.
