EYES WIDE SHUT

   The person most likely to deceive you will be a person you know, someone with whom you are familiar, such as a friend, a co-worker, a brother-in-law, or a public official in a public place---and not a stranger.
   The person most likely to offer your children drugs will be a person they know, someone with whom they are familiar, such as a friend, a neighbor, or even a cousin---and not a stranger.
   In Cleveland, Ohio, three young girls were captured and imprisoned in a house, and not even their next door neighbors knew of their plight.  Neither did the people of the community ever suspect that the man they saw every day could commit violent acts against women and a young girl for ten long years. 
   Deceivers are people looking for opportunities, and such people are like Judas Iscariot.  And when the day of opportunity came when Judas could fill his pockets with blood money, he did so without blinking his eyes. 
   When the day of opportunity arrives and a person can profit from you, that person will do it.
   When the day of opportunity arrives when a person will profit from offering your children drugs, that person will do it. 
   Even in religions and churches, there are people seeking to profit from the people with whom they know by the people who trust them the most.  They deceive people by the power of their position, by their charming personalities, by their education and years of service, and by their false faces.  They, like Judas Iscariot, are seekers of opportunities, looking for their payday, and many are receiving compensation even now in the form of career opportunities as ministers, preachers, teachers, or priests.  They deceive people out of salvation as well as out of heaven while they are being paid to teach and preach false messages---while appearing to be the most trusted people in the world.
   Look around you.  Look at the people you know.  Consider their ways, listen to their words, and listen for all the words they are not saying.  They have no fear and they have no shame.
   People of politics and religion are using the same methods they have used for thousands of years because their methods work!  So look at the spiritual and physical conditions of the world today.  When drugs and human trafficking are the world's leading financial enterprises, what does this evidence tell us? 
   People of politics and religion are masters of keeping the eyes of people wide shut.  They are seekers of opportunities at the expense of people.  They want us to keep our eyes focused on them and not on the dangers of this world by appearing to be the people we know and trust the most.
