πŸ’₯ Isaiah 24: The prophet tells of destructions that come from God at the end of the world.

 
Isaiah 24

1 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.

4 The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.

5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

7 The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.

8 The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.

9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.

10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.

12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.

13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.

14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

15 Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.

16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.

17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.

18 And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.

19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.

20 The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.

21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.

22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited (judged).

23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem (I believe this is the new Jerusalem of Revelation 21), and before HIS ancients gloriously.

πŸ’₯ Letter to a woman in our church group.


(From Joan Boney)

I've evaluated my life and have made changes for me.


Just wanted to let you know.  As of yesterday, I decided I don't want to find out what the people of this world are doing.  For me, I just want to find out what God says.

I stopped watching the news as of yesterday.  

I'm certainly not telling you to do that.  But I decided to do that.  

They are so crazy and what value is it to me to hear what they are doing or saying? So I decided not to do this.

It felt strange.  Because we usually watch NBC and CBS news in evening while we eat.  I didn't do that yesterday.  So what do I do???

I found a documentary on either Netflix or Prime concerning the History of ship building.  3 parts starting with the building of the Titanic.  (I have such an interest still in the Titanic.)  I found this interesting and Pam watched some then went to do her thing, whatever that was.  Often we watch part of something together as we eat our dinner.  It is just a pastime and doesn't matter if we both watch together or not.

Then I bought a book by Walter Lord, "A night to remember."  I've seen it before several times as a movie.  And I think I may have read it also.  (e-book)  It only cost $2.99 on Kindle so I bought it and read the forward this morning and found it so interesting.  Pastime

I feel much better myself not watching the news.  It is mostly "News of the World(not much interesting to me anyway:  just boring or makes me angry or sad.  Occasionally the news will show an animal doing something and that usually makes me happy.)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

I read the Book of Jonah recently and enjoyed it so much.

At end of the 4th chapter, God said to Jonah, who was angry because God didn't destroy Nineveh after he gave his message ... (instead they repented)

Jonah 4:  Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Trump trial:  fornication, adultery, not even considered to be worthy of judging by this world  of USA... but God will judge it and it will be right. 

Stealing of campaign funds to pay prostitutes seems to be their subject.

I really don't want to trouble myself with Trump or what they are doing.  Nothing matters.  God will sort it out correctly.  

"Why trouble myself,"  I decided.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

It is sort of like when you take off a very heavy garment ... a weight ... and it feels a little strange when it is no longer a part of what I'm wearing.  Feels like a big weight gone. Much lighter.

I don't know how long I won't watch ... but it feels so peaceful to me.  Sort of like the season when God told me not to watch things of this world, and how I found it didn't matter at all in my life who was elected president of the United States.  

I like "that" better!

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

There are plenty of things on streaming ... some I find interesting ... some I can't stand ...
but those things I know don't matter one way or another.  

It is sort of like we get to thinking the super bowl matters, especially if it is "our team", and we get drunk and giddy when our team wins ... and when our team isn't playing we may watch but it really doesn't interest us much because this is truth:  "It doesn't matter."

(Sports is very delusional)  I'm not saying I won't watch, but really I'm usually bored unless it is my team ... and then I'm mostly angry and disgusted with them and the ownership because of the way they played and what they did and didn't do.)  Very silly for me to get swept up in this.  I might do it again, but I do know how foolish it is for me.  Flesh profits nothing.

So today:  I reread the last 4 blogs which we published.  I was shocked to see how good they were.  All God!  Showing me God's way.  Giving me another chance to eliminate my way .  Peace.  I felt naked! Covering myself before in all that garbage the world thinks is important.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

That Titanic book:  Fourteen years before the Titanic, an unknown author wrote a book about a giant ship that was built named, "Futility".  On it's first voyage it hit an iceberg and sank.  He wrote this in 1897 as I recall ...Titanic was launched April 10, 1912. 

CNN is doing a 2 hour special on the Titanic this coming Sunday.  I love seeing old films of the actual people boarding the ship, as they no doubt feel so "lucky" to be a part of all this excitement!

Just bringing you up to date.

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;

Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;

I Corinthians 1:18-31

18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.

22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.


26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

29 That no flesh should glory in His presence.

30 But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.


 
Reading this passage of scripture causes me to marvel in the wisdom and ways of God.

We are not called by God because of having achieved fleshly greatness of some kind nor because of having intelligence or physical strength admired by the world, all of which come to nothing.

God calls those HE chooses according to HIS will and purpose.

The ways of God are opposite from ways and wisdom of this world which glorifies man. And the ways of God are perfect, for we see the wisdom and power of God which far exceeds the things held in esteem by the world.

He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

John 10 (Reading through the Bible)

 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which He spake unto them.

Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

I am the door: by Me (The Word) if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

(Jesus, The WORD, is the door.  The Word we hear from The Spirit of God is the way to go and is the life for us.)


10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (The WORD) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine.

15 As the Father knoweth Me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down My life for the sheep.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

17 Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down My life, that I might take it again.

18 No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father.


***

19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye Him?

21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?


***

22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

24 Then came the Jews round about Him, and said unto Him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of My sheep, as I said unto you.

***

27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me:

28 And I (The Word) give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of My hand.  

(The gates of hell will not prevail against the revealed Word of God, Matthew 16 ... and those who are of God hear that revealed word of God and they will never fall for they follow that Word.)

29 My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man (none) is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.

30 I (The Word) and My Father are one.


*****

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from My Father; for which of those works do ye stone Me?

33 The Jews answered Him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say ye of Him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I (The Word) am the Son of God?

(Those of us to whom God has revealed Himself are also sanctified by God through HIS Word and HE sends us into the world.)

37 If I do not the works of My Father, believe Me not.

38 But if I do, though ye believe not Me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.


***

39 Therefore they sought again to take Him: but He escaped out of their hand,40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there He abode.

41 And many resorted unto Him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.

42 And many believed on Him there.

πŸ’₯ Protecting the ministry given to us by Jesus and the life we have as Christians.


Ephesians 4:8;11-12

8 Wherefore HE saith, When HE ascended up on high, HE led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

11 And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Comments by Joan Boney:

It is so important for each of us who have been called by Jesus to protect the ministry to which we have been called.

And it is important for each person called to be a Christian to protect that calling.

Ephesians 1:4 According as HE (God) hath chosen us in HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before HIM in love:

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

We must keep ourselves from things that would cause us to speak as this world speaks.  We cannot allow ourselves to be polluted by wisdom of men of this world.  We must not take in their wisdom.  We must be very careful to keep our wisdom to be from God, agreeing at all times with the Holy Bible. Rejecting this world when it goes in a way opposite to the wisdom from God.  Filling our minds with the ideas presented by God in the Holy Bible.

I had a Catholic friend who loved to visit me.  She would often tell me wisdom of this world.  I would say:  "What you just said is not in the Bible.  I want to build my house on the Word from God."

So why would I be subject to watching the evening "News of the World"?

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

On the first day of Donald Trump's "Hush Money" trial, I started to turn on the news to see what happened.  Then I woke up.  Why would I want to see humans judging a human"?

Concerning Nineveh: God sent Jonah to Nineveh to say:  "Yet forty days and Nineveh will be destroyed." The king and people were terrified and repented.  Jonah sat on a hill nearby to see what would happen.  After they repented, God did not destroy Nineveh and Jonah was bitter and mad because God did not destroy Nineveh.

Jonah 4:10:11  Then said the LORD, Thou (Jonah) hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:

11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

God will judge rightly.

I'm not of this world.  I obey the laws of this world as I can so long as they don't keep me from obeying laws of God.  Some of the world's laws I do not agree with.  But I stay out of the controversy and do not try to make the World to be godly when they do not have the Spirit of God.

My kingdom is not of this world.  (John 18:36)  Like Jesus there is another place God has prepared for me and for HIS people.  I'm truly a stranger here on this earth.
 
πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Romans 12:1-2  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

It is my responsibility to find out what pleases God and to do that, conforming my thinking to the Holy Bible.  This is what I want to do.  Building my personal life on the Word from God.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Galatians 5:19  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Not participating in things which make us consider it is "normal" to commit the works of the flesh, thereby excusing these works as just being "normal".  These works are "normal" if you are not a born again Christian.  But being born again by God, we are given by God HIS heart and HIS Spirit thereby we live differently to this world.  And I find it not good to hear or focus on ways of this world but to keep our mind and focus on ways of God for Now we belong to God.  So why would I want to know what this world is doing today, feeding myself with the way of this world.  I decided this is not the way for me to go, feeding myself with news of what they are doing.  It could cause me to pollute the ministry and way of God.

We live in a "strange country".   We are "peculiar people" to that country.

1 Peter 2:9-10  But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of HIM who hath called you out of darkness into HIS marvellous light:

10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Hebrews 11

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 

14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for HE hath prepared for them a city.

After we renew our minds to the Bible showing ourselves the ways of God, this world is "strange to us."  (unusual)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Hebrews 11:9-10  By faith he (Abraham)  sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country,

(So we do not try to fit in with the people of this world for they follow the desires of their own flesh.  Now we seek to conform to the way of God, rejecting the flesh.  We want to build our house on the way of God. Looking for what God wants us to do. Seeking HIM.

Galatians 5:22-23  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance:

(So we choose to reject trying to see what people of this world are doing today.  And we deliberately do those things which cause us to produce fruits of the Spirit and we depend on God to show us what to do.) 

God is our newscast.  The Bible and God by His Spirit will tell us what will come as needed. 
John 16:13 HE will show you things to come.  

Hebrews 11:10  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Philippians 4:19  But my God shall supply all your need according to HIS riches in glory by Christ Jesus (The Word).

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

At one point in my life, around 1975, after I was born again, God said to me:  "Don't watch things of this world:  plays, news, football, movies and such."  

For a season:  I didn't watch.

I was on a buying trip for my business that I owned at that time.  My mother and dad met me in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  We were driving along and someone mentioned a man named "Jimmy Carter."  I said, "Who's Jimmy Carter?"  They were shocked!  He had just been elected president of the United States.

It didn't make one bit of difference in my life that I could see.

At that time I was very seriously learning Bible as God taught me, so I could do the work of God that God showed me:  apostle & prophet

Now, after 40 + years, I want to return again to the early days when I was unaffected by this world.  For I know serious things of God are rapidly coming to this world.  I want to be sure God is leading me in what I say and write.

There is certainly a price to pay when we are a minister of God and a Christian!  But it is well worth the price! for all eternity!

Mark 8:36  Jesus says:  For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯





(This message is truly a message "for me" to try to encourage me in godly ways!)

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯


πŸ’₯ Jesus says: In MY Father's house are many mansions.


John 14:2-3  In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

Comments by Joan Boney:

Several years ago, as I slept in the night, I was in heaven at the mansion prepared for me.  It was magnificent.  I recall the walls being like white ivory.  Jesus was there with me and that was wonderful.  He revealed to me that HE had to leave me for awhile and I begged HIM not to do that to stay.  But for some cause HE had to go but would return.

πŸ’₯πŸ’₯πŸ’₯

We live in terrible times now.  But I know in my heart only one thing matters:  "The Word"

Hold on through prayer and faith.

Scriptures in the New Testament Bible will be changed to draw people to the church and many verses of scripture will be no longer spoken, such as:  The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.  (Jesus spoke this in Matthew 5:32 & in Matthew 19:9)  I've never heard this taught in any church I've attended in 40 + years.)

Churches today approve many things against scripture:  This is antichrist in the church today.

The apostasy had to happen in the churches before Jesus can return.  It is already happening and has been for many decades.  This tells us Jesus could return soon, anytime.  And the Great Tribulation of God where God sends 14 plagues upon this earth could happen anytime.

Psalm 39

5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah.
6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

Jeremiah 17:5 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

πŸ’₯  God taught me to do Joshua 1:8 for the remainder of my life.  This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Psalm 1

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

John 9 (Reading through the Bible)

 
And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man which was blind from his birth.

And his disciples asked Him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

As long as I am in the world, I (The Word) am the light of the world.

When He had thus spoken, He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,

And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.

The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

12 Then said they unto him, Where is He?

He said, I know not.

13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.

14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because He keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of Him, that He hath opened thine eyes?

He said, He is a prophet.

18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that He was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

25 He answered and said, Whether He be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.

(We, who are born again, are also like that.  We were blind.  Now we can see.)

26 Then said they to him again, What did He to thee? how opened He thine eyes?

27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be His disciples?

28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art His disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence He is.

30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth. 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.33 If this man were not of God, He could do nothing.

34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?

36 He answered and said, Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him?

37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.

38 And he said, Lord, I believeAnd he worshipped Him.

39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

40 And some of the Pharisees which were with Him heard these words, and said unto Him, Are we blind also?

41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
