 First, he is blinded by Satan, according to 2 Corinthians 4, 3, 4. If our gospel be hid, it's hid to them who are lost. Blinded by the God of this world. Can any evangelist open the eyes of a blinded sinner? Certainly not. It is the work of the Holy Spirit. But bless your heart, the gospel I preach and the gospel any man who preaches the gospel under the power of the Holy Spirit will open a sinner's eyes.
