“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!”
“The words of the King.”
‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’ John3:3. (KJV)
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him,
and besought him to touch him.
And he took the blind man by the hand,
and led him out of the town;
and when he had spit on his eyes,
and put his hands upon him,
he asked him if he saw ought.
And he looked up, and said,
I see men as trees, walking.
After that he put his hands again upon his eyes,
and made him look up:
and he was restored,
and saw every man clearly. Mark 8: 21-25. (KJV)
“When I was Born-again (John 3: 16), everything changed for me.
Up until that day, 11th march 1979, I saw men as trees, walking.
Life was blurred, fuzzy around the edges.
There was no clarity; definition.
After coming to Jesus and having Him put His hands upon me, I saw clearly.
The trees were so green, so clear, so 3D.
Everywhere I looked it was like the world had been washed with a spring shower of rain.
You know how the rain cleans away the dust, rain drops on the trees, fences, flowers.
Rain drops that catch the sun and sparkle!
The sky, how beautiful the colour!
Those clouds, light and so fluffy!
Clean, fresh, that’s how I felt.
Renewed in my spirit, alive, really alive for the first time.
The 2nd birth (spiritual), is much like the 1st birth (natural).
A new born baby comes into the world after labour.
The pangs, the restriction, the pressure.
This is what also brings you to the born-again experience:
The pangs of your life, the hurts.
You feel restricted, thwarted in every direction…
the pressure you are under…
all these situations are pushing you, pushing you.
When a baby comes out, it is free of those restrictions,
it sees dimly, blurred shapes, it blinks at the bright lights, then it cries!
Everyone is happy that it can breathe.
The baby has a long way to go, but it’s born!
The journey begins…
Jesus is passing your way.
Come, let Him touch you.
Let Him take you by the hand and lead you.
Let Him put His hands upon you.
Be restored. See clearly.”
“Oyez!” “Oyez!” “Oyez!’
