With your confession, now we get to the heart of everything I have said.
Your sons impaired hearing was related to flesh. I have the same ailment and have lost 80% of my hearing even from a young age. And this is not about the flesh man and its imperfections; Christ is about our Spirit man and what the Spirit man hears and sees and comprahends.
The blind man Jesus healed was not related to the flesh man, one may not see or hear from his physical stance, but one can see and hear from a Spiritual stance. If one is confined to the flesh man and what it comprehends as healed, has nothing to do with the healing of the mind that Christ brings.
The blind man saw that what he didn’t see before. And many times in the word ignorance of His Spirit is related to blind. The revelation of the Christ opens ones eyes and ears to hear and see Him, that doent mean our physical body sees and hears the Christ, it means that the Spirit man hears and sees that what it didn’t hear and see before.
And I know immediately some will protest in this and I do understand their flesh mentality. But all are blind and all are deft until their eyes and ears are opened to the Christ be in you.
Those who say you have no faith in a flesh healing, has no faith that Christ can heal your mind to be one with Him and He in you as one. I have watched these guys on TV who claim they can heal your flesh and I cringe. What they do not know is the one who heals your mind … THEN all of these other things are added to you. Jesus said go … IT IS YOUR FAITH THAT MAKES THEM WHOLE.
I am so glad that your sons physical body can hear along with his Spiritual hearing.
To the extent that you've spoken of the blind man, who was blind since birth, is true with all of us. I used the term 'creation language' because Jesus uses the evidence of creation to teach us spiritual matters which we could not 'see' without the use of creation. All parable language is given this way. All laws are given this way. All words of the prophets are given this way. Everything (single) thing has a specific purpose under Heaven. I do not now all that is available (countless), but because I know this is true, I look for it according to the gift that was given to me.
The things Zone has mentioned is not without merit. The things she shares are the gift she was given. The things you share are not without merit, these are from the gift you were given. The things I share are from a gift I was given. While I was in prison, and literally being taught by the Spirit each day until I could no longer stay awake, all the things I was shown, I thought I clearly understood. But when I attempted to put these things on paper, there was an endless paper trail. I honestly do not know how many reams of paper I'd carefully written through, but there were many. Then, when I felt like I was ready to share some of these things, I encountered a problem. No one had a clue what I was saying. It sounded like gibberish to them. Some of the deacons of the prison church said I was demon possessed. So I took this to God. I know I was being taught by His Spirit, but I did not know how to share these hidden things, I needed Him to teach me how to do this. There are some who believe that all things God teaches are easily understood by the person who receives it, or they are not from God. I give personal witness; that statement is seldom true. Those who give their lives towards this, struggle, not only towards better understanding, but struggle with how to speak those words in a way that is consistent with the convicting Spirit within each of us.
When I said to Zone, "Do not short-change me." I was saying not to give up on the gift she was given; to search every possible way to show me the things that have changed in the way she sees life. This, I am saying to you. Do not short-chance me.
With all that I am, I desire to share, and I honestly struggle with this gift of the Spirit, because there is a reason why the wisdom of God is hidden in plain sight.
So if it looks like I'm being indifferent, it's only because you do not know what I am struggling with. There is no better example of this than my friend Ramon. I did not know him before I came to this site; but I sure understand the struggle.
The things we struggle with are being perfected because we do struggle; not only towards better understanding, but also a better way of expressing these things that are important to each of us. The direction of our focus changes as we grow; because in the beginning of our growth, we could not perceive the latter part of our growth.
As Jesus spoke (the Word of God) to the bind man, the blind man heard the Word of God and believed.
Much like you said, Jesus used something that we can see (the blind man), to teach us something about ourselves that we could 'not see' before; because each of us believed we could see clearly. When Jesus said, "If you say you can see, you remain in your sin." As these facets of understanding come together from within, we begin to understand why Jesus came "for those who need a Physician"
