“Though Jesus has done many miracles in front of the people, they still did not believe in Him. This was to bring about what Isaiah the prophet had said: ‘Lord, Who has believed our message and to him has the arm of the Lord power been revealed?’ This is why the people could not believe: Isaiah also had said, ‘He has blinded their eyes, and he has closed their minds. Otherwise they would see with their eyes and understand in their minds and come back to Me and be healed,” John 12:37-46.
“Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Make their ears and heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him. But many believed in Jesus, even many of the leaders. But because of the Pharisees, they did not say they believed in Him for fear they would be put out of the synagogue. They loved praise form people more then praise from God. Then Jesus cried out. Whoever believes in Me [Jesus] is really believing in the one who sent Me. Whoever sees Me sees the One who sent Me. I have come as light into the world so that whosoever believes in me would not stay in darkness. You have seen what I have done and you know them and you have seen them. I’m not hear to force you in the faith, I have come to give you the knowledge of the word so you will grow in the faith of God. But people still refuse to believe in Me. I looked at them and I see that there heart are hardened against God and His word,” Isaiah 6:10.
How do you change human will? Changing human will occurs through the word of God involving understanding Biblical teachings, which can transform one’s mindset and actions. We must come away from suffering as a suffering servant and move to the place of redemption as an overcoming servant. There is now a spiritual awakening and understanding of the ears and minds of the people in life, now and forever.
As a suffering servant, you will be healed. Jesus was a suffering servant for all that would believe and be healed. Redemption and transformation will come as the purpose of God for life. This is the encouragement of the ‘transformation process,’ which includes 1) Supreme power; 2) Total control; and 3) Wise purpose
Supreme power
This is God above all things with no limits of His will and strength.
Total control
Nothing in the universe happens without His knowledge or permission.
Wise purpose
God guides every event with perfect wisdom and justice.
We must see Christ’s glory proving His divine identity. We must explore the balance between God’s divine sovereignty and human responsibility in the Lord.
