"The Evil Eye"


Braylon Edwards (Police booking photo)
 
The above picture is the booking photo of Braylon Edwards after his recent arrest--he is a wide receiver for the New York Jets. Obviously his right eye is much darker than his left eye with no lighting or angling being the reason for the difference. In no way am I purposely singling him out or judging. I just think this particular picture clearly shows what the Lord has showed me over the last 4-5 years.
 
The idea of the "evil eye" (not eyes) in Jewish tradition is real. Whether it means Satan has access to "half" or a portion of a person, I'm not positive, but it does have spiritual significance. I believe it can help us discern spirits working through people if we are sensitive to it. It also shows the danger of "opening" ourselves up to demonic influence or control when we drink alcohol, do drugs, or sin any other way against God. I believe this is part of how knowing the truth sets us free. An atheist doesn't believe in God or the devil, and has no clue how dangerous those paths to darkness are. When we know about the spiritual realm and fear God, we won't make those mistakes. Though the phrase "wolves in sheeps' clothing" may be obvious to some, others don't realize that the wolves are demons and the sheeps' clothing is the human body that the darkness works through.
 
The Lord speaks to me through music at times. About 5 years ago, a song called "One Headlight" by Jakob Dylan (Bob Dylan's son) came on my radio over and over, with the main chorus lyrics stating, "We can drive it home with one headlight..". Naturally, I kept picturing car headlights with only one shining. Until one day I was looking through some pictures and he quickened it again--of course one "head" light is the eye. There are many other relevant parts to the song lyrics including "so long ago I don't remember when, that's when they say I lost my only friend" and "the long broken arm of human law" and more.
