Episode Synopsis

Much like the blind man in the text, people will label you by your infirmity, afflictions, disabilities and limitations but it's because they see you now and don't know what God is going to do in your next season of life.

We don't see ourselves in our next either because if we did we wouldn't give God so many excuses about why we choose to stay in our mess. We think we are supposed to have it altogether or have it all figured out before we follow Jesus instructions...

We think we're supposed to see all the way to the finish line before we run our race. But we should learn from the Blind man what we must do to receive our sight or our breakthrough.

1: We must acknowledge where you are now. We are blind or broken or busted or disgusted.

2: We must follow the instructions with faith. Follow Jesus even when we can't see our way through yet. You won't get your breakthrough until get up and go anyway.

3: Let the new you breakthrough. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." So let others see the "New You" as an opportunity to point them to the one who changed you, some won't even recognize you because they label they gave you no longer fits your description.
