The Believers Spiritual Eye Exam Pt 3

By Rev Deb

                       Tunnel Vision- the prejudice cold fish

THERE IS NO LIGHT AT THE END OF THIS TUNNEL

The narrow-minded believer can be compared to the hard heart of Mathew 13.

Tunnel vision is defined as a drastically narrowed field of vision, as in looking through a tube.  An extremely narrow or prejudiced outlook- narrow-minded.

The Bible has this to say about tunnel vision.

“There is A WAY which SEEMS RIGHT to a man and APPEARS STRAIGHT before him, but at the end of it is the way of death.”   Proverbs 14:12 (Amplified Bible)

Believers with tunnel discomfort often show an unwillingness to listen to or tolerate other people's views.  Tunnel or narrow-minded believers have only one view- "their own." These viewers are the type that only feels good when voicing their own opinions.  This type of believer lives by their own set of rules while having a stricter set of rules for everyone else.  Failing to live up to this strict set of rules, results in severed friendships, problematic relationships and or even divorce.

THE FAITH WALKER

"But I say, walk (ing") by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk (ing) in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called", Gal 5:16, Ehp 4:1

Walk or more literally walking by the Spirit is the safeguard of the believers life in Christ. It is a moment by moment dependence upon the Holy Spirit to help us keep our feet on stable ground.
