00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:03.300
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:06.180
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:09.870
Friend, have you been waiting for me?
4
00:00:09.870 --> 00:00:14.310
My name is Denise Renner and
I've been waiting for you
5
00:00:14.310 --> 00:00:17.910
and I'm so excited about today's program.
6
00:00:17.910 --> 00:00:22.710
We are talking about the
wonderful Holy Spirit
7
00:00:22.710 --> 00:00:27.450
and through the new birth, that communion, that fellowship,
8
00:00:27.450 --> 00:00:31.200
that partnership that he's invited you
9
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:36.200
and I into it is so amazing.
10
00:00:36.210 --> 00:00:40.890
And we're talking about
people in the gospels
11
00:00:40.890 --> 00:00:44.730
who had a one-on-one encounter with Jesus
12
00:00:44.730 --> 00:00:47.670
and how it changed their life.
13
00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:52.110
I remember how I had
my one-on-one encounter
14
00:00:52.110 --> 00:00:54.630
with Jesus so many years ago
15
00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:57.180
and it completely changed my life
16
00:00:57.180 --> 00:01:00.660
and I've never been the same since.
17
00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:03.300
I was hearing that I could be forgiven,
18
00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:06.690
that I could be clean on the
inside, that I could be filled
19
00:01:06.690 --> 00:01:10.950
with God's power and I was
just a religious person.
20
00:01:10.950 --> 00:01:13.830
And I went to one of
these people's meetings
21
00:01:13.830 --> 00:01:18.240
and I was just feeling so bad
in my heart in that meeting.
22
00:01:18.240 --> 00:01:21.150
And I went outside of that building
23
00:01:22.620 --> 00:01:25.170
and I sat on a curb by myself
24
00:01:26.190 --> 00:01:29.610
and I was visited by the Holy Spirit
25
00:01:30.630 --> 00:01:32.730
and what he did inside of me,
26
00:01:32.730 --> 00:01:36.690
I confessed everything I
could think of to confess.
27
00:01:36.690 --> 00:01:41.430
And what he did was he just
so cleaned me up on the
28
00:01:41.430 --> 00:01:44.160
inside and he filled me with his spirit
29
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:47.880
and I got up from that
curb that night and went
30
00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:50.100
and witnessed to somebody.
31
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:53.550
It was an encounter that I had with him,
32
00:01:53.550 --> 00:01:57.930
a one-on-one encounter that
changed my life forever.
33
00:01:57.930 --> 00:01:59.880
I'm sure as I'm telling my testimony,
34
00:01:59.880 --> 00:02:02.790
you're thinking about your testimony about
35
00:02:02.790 --> 00:02:07.290
how he changed your life
in that one encounter.
36
00:02:07.290 --> 00:02:10.920
1st Corinthians 6:
37
00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:14.370
17 says that he that is with the Lord.
38
00:02:14.370 --> 00:02:17.730
If you're with the
Lord, I'm with the Lord.
39
00:02:17.730 --> 00:02:20.670
The Bible says we're one spirit.
40
00:02:20.670 --> 00:02:25.050
We are one spirit with
him. We're not two spirits.
41
00:02:25.050 --> 00:02:30.050
We are one spirit with the
Lord. Is that not amazing?
42
00:02:30.330 --> 00:02:33.480
And I wanna offer you
something to help you
43
00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:34.680
to understand more
44
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.040
and more about what you
have on the inside of you.
45
00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:41.220
And that is my husband's books.
46
00:02:41.220 --> 00:02:43.200
Now, these are huge books.
47
00:02:43.200 --> 00:02:47.430
You can actually make them
as something to lift weights
48
00:02:47.430 --> 00:02:50.820
with, but Sparkling Gems from the Greek No.I
49
00:02:50.820 --> 00:02:54.450
and Sparkling Gems from the Greek No.II.
50
00:02:54.450 --> 00:02:56.460
And you say, oh, that's humongous.
51
00:02:56.460 --> 00:02:58.530
I'll never be able to read all that.
52
00:02:58.530 --> 00:03:03.040
Well, it's just one day at a
time. It's a daily devotional.
53
00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:04.540
And I wanna share with you,
54
00:03:04.540 --> 00:03:08.140
because I've read this book,
I've treasured this book
55
00:03:08.140 --> 00:03:11.050
and I wanna just share
with you one little thing
56
00:03:11.050 --> 00:03:13.120
that I found in here today.
57
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.240
It says, the Holy Spirit feels
58
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.430
everything you feel.
59
00:03:18.430 --> 00:03:23.200
He understands the
complete inadequacy you are
60
00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:24.730
experiencing.
61
00:03:24.730 --> 00:03:28.300
He knows about every battle you're facing.
62
00:03:28.300 --> 00:03:32.710
He willingly joins you
in your circumstances,
63
00:03:32.710 --> 00:03:36.280
sharing your emotions and frustrations.
64
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.520
Then he begins to put a supernatural plan
65
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:44.050
of rescue into operation to get you out
66
00:03:44.050 --> 00:03:45.160
of your mess.
67
00:03:45.160 --> 00:03:47.410
Is that not amazing?
68
00:03:47.410 --> 00:03:51.310
Well, that can be yours if
you would like to order that.
69
00:03:51.310 --> 00:03:55.270
And also I wanna offer to you my new book,
70
00:03:55.270 --> 00:03:57.580
it is called - Unstoppable.
71
00:03:58.810 --> 00:04:03.810
If we ever needed to be Unstoppable, it's today.
72
00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:08.830
There's so many pressures
pressing on each one
73
00:04:08.830 --> 00:04:13.210
of us to either get
distracted or worry about this
74
00:04:13.210 --> 00:04:16.120
or care about this or to say and what if
75
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:17.800
and what if and what if.
76
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:25.780
And to the enemy wants to
stop us in our journey.
77
00:04:25.780 --> 00:04:29.655
Maybe he wants to stop
you with offense or fear.
78
00:04:29.655 --> 00:04:32.260
Fear of the future or
79
00:04:32.260 --> 00:04:36.610
or being affected by other
people's negative opinions.
80
00:04:36.610 --> 00:04:38.290
Well, that's what I talked to you about
81
00:04:38.290 --> 00:04:41.020
in my book is pressing through those kind of things
82
00:04:41.020 --> 00:04:46.020
and refusing to give up and
refusing to be unstoppable.
83
00:04:46.210 --> 00:04:51.190
Well, I'm excited about our teaching today, so stay with me
84
00:04:51.190 --> 00:04:52.900
and I will get back with you.
85
00:04:53.830 --> 00:04:57.790
It's time for big miracles
and changes in your life.
86
00:04:58.690 --> 00:04:59.980
Join Denise Renner
87
00:04:59.980 --> 00:05:03.610
and dive into the study of God's word which has great power
88
00:05:03.610 --> 00:05:07.660
to strengthen faith, inspire,
change, heal physically
89
00:05:07.660 --> 00:05:11.140
and spiritually, and most importantly help you learn about
90
00:05:11.140 --> 00:05:13.390
the power of Christ Jesus living in you.
91
00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:16.570
It's time with Denise Renner.
92
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.500
I'm so excited to open
the word of God to you today
93
00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:28.360
and talk to you about a man
who had an encounter with Jesus
94
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.880
and it changed his life forever.
95
00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:32.950
And that is the man
96
00:05:32.950 --> 00:05:36.310
that was born blind in John 9.
97
00:05:36.310 --> 00:05:40.540
But before we begin, if you need prayer,
98
00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:43.240
oh please, please call us.
99
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.540
Please write us because
we are there for you
100
00:05:47.500 --> 00:05:52.180
and things are happening
in this world and and cares
101
00:05:52.180 --> 00:05:56.440
and worries are trying to
come on us distractions.
102
00:05:56.440 --> 00:05:59.420
But as we together, as you hear
103
00:05:59.420 --> 00:06:02.090
that other believer on the telephone
104
00:06:02.090 --> 00:06:05.360
or you write what God is in your heart
105
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:08.270
and you need to get
across to somebody else,
106
00:06:08.270 --> 00:06:09.980
it's gonna help you.
107
00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:14.780
So please contact us. We
wanna be there for you.
108
00:06:14.780 --> 00:06:18.020
And if God's doing something
special in your life,
109
00:06:18.020 --> 00:06:21.260
if you're receiving a
miracle on this program
110
00:06:21.260 --> 00:06:23.030
or a healing in your body
111
00:06:23.030 --> 00:06:27.440
or a deliverance in your mind,
I read all your responses,
112
00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:29.510
so please let me know.
113
00:06:31.400 --> 00:06:34.550
Well, we're talking about this precious man from John
114
00:06:34.550 --> 00:06:38.270
9, and the reason I say he's precious is
115
00:06:38.270 --> 00:06:42.980
because I've read and studied
this chapter so many times
116
00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:46.400
and the things that this man goes through
117
00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:49.040
is just amazing.
118
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.390
So we are going to start in verse 1,
119
00:06:53.390 --> 00:06:57.470
and it says, Now as Jesus passed by,
120
00:06:57.470 --> 00:07:02.300
he saw a man who was blind from birth
121
00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:06.950
and his disciples ask him saying, Rabbi, who sinned this man
122
00:07:06.950 --> 00:07:10.970
or his parents that he was born blind?
123
00:07:10.970 --> 00:07:14.540
Jesus answered, neither this man
124
00:07:14.540 --> 00:07:16.940
nor his parents sinned,
125
00:07:16.940 --> 00:07:21.140
but that the works of God
should be revealed in him.
126
00:07:21.140 --> 00:07:24.560
Then Jesus says, I must work the works
127
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.180
of him who sent me
128
00:07:26.180 --> 00:07:28.370
while it is today,
129
00:07:28.370 --> 00:07:33.260
the night is coming when no man can work,
130
00:07:33.260 --> 00:07:36.230
and friend, I won't to tell you that we need to do
131
00:07:36.230 --> 00:07:39.860
what God is telling us to do right now
132
00:07:39.860 --> 00:07:43.820
because we don't know how
much time that we have.
133
00:07:43.820 --> 00:07:46.370
You don't know what's
gonna happen tomorrow.
134
00:07:46.370 --> 00:07:48.710
I don't know what's gonna happen tomorrow.
135
00:07:48.710 --> 00:07:52.820
I need to take advantage of today.
136
00:07:52.820 --> 00:07:57.230
You and you need to
take advantage of today.
137
00:07:57.230 --> 00:08:01.760
So many times we don't value
138
00:08:01.760 --> 00:08:05.660
that we have 24 hours that it's a gift
139
00:08:05.660 --> 00:08:10.100
and Jesus was saying,
I've gotta work right now
140
00:08:10.100 --> 00:08:14.030
because there is a time coming
where it's gonna be night
141
00:08:14.030 --> 00:08:16.400
and nobody can work.
142
00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:19.850
It's quite an attitude to say to yourself,
143
00:08:19.850 --> 00:08:21.920
I'm gonna do my very best right now.
144
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.290
I'm gonna serve my very best right now.
145
00:08:24.290 --> 00:08:27.680
I'm gonna have the best
attitude I can right now
146
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.950
because I've been given today
147
00:08:30.950 --> 00:08:33.890
and I might not have tomorrow.
148
00:08:33.890 --> 00:08:36.710
That's actually wisdom.
149
00:08:36.710 --> 00:08:41.150
And Jesus said in Matthew 6:34,
150
00:08:41.150 --> 00:08:45.320
he said, don't worry about tomorrow.
151
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:49.490
He was saying, take a hold of your day
152
00:08:50.570 --> 00:08:53.570
because if you take a hold of your day,
153
00:08:53.570 --> 00:08:56.880
you can be more for tomorrow.
154
00:08:56.880 --> 00:08:59.670
But if you take your day for granted
155
00:08:59.670 --> 00:09:02.790
and you just say, oh, I
just need to kill some time,
156
00:09:02.790 --> 00:09:04.890
I can't stand it when
somebody says, I need
157
00:09:04.890 --> 00:09:08.910
to kill some time: kill some time.
158
00:09:08.910 --> 00:09:11.010
Time is a gift to you.
159
00:09:11.010 --> 00:09:14.610
And Jesus is saying right
here, he's saying, I've got
160
00:09:14.610 --> 00:09:16.680
to do this work right now
161
00:09:16.680 --> 00:09:21.000
because night is coming. Friend,
162
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.490
don't take your time for granted.
163
00:09:23.490 --> 00:09:27.960
Okay, then Jesus said in verse 5: as long
164
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:32.960
as I am in the world, I
am the light of the world.
165
00:09:32.970 --> 00:09:36.330
Verse 6: when he had said these things,
166
00:09:36.330 --> 00:09:39.120
he spat on the ground
167
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.300
and made clay with the saliva
168
00:09:44.010 --> 00:09:48.510
and anointed the eyes of
the blind man with the clay.
169
00:09:48.510 --> 00:09:50.010
Now this is,
170
00:09:50.850 --> 00:09:55.620
this is pretty amazing if
you really think about Jesus
171
00:09:55.620 --> 00:09:58.380
standing there, maybe he had
to get down on the ground
172
00:09:58.380 --> 00:10:01.860
to spit on the ground,
173
00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:03.660
but he did.
174
00:10:03.660 --> 00:10:06.600
He spat on the ground.
175
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:08.340
Then he took his spit
176
00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:12.390
and then he took the the ground, the clay,
177
00:10:12.390 --> 00:10:14.940
and he mixed it together
178
00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:18.660
and they must have called
that blind man to him.
179
00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:21.870
And then he took that
180
00:10:23.130 --> 00:10:27.150
and he wiped that on
181
00:10:27.150 --> 00:10:28.680
that man's eyes.
182
00:10:30.660 --> 00:10:33.660
Of course we don't know
what this man is thinking,
183
00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:37.680
but I like to think of this friend
184
00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:40.470
because Jesus was getting
185
00:10:40.470 --> 00:10:45.470
so involved in this man's life.
186
00:10:45.540 --> 00:10:48.960
This man is having an encounter with Jesus
187
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.630
and Jesus now has his attention.
188
00:10:51.630 --> 00:10:53.610
Of course the man can't see him,
189
00:10:54.450 --> 00:10:56.280
but he tells him what to do.
190
00:10:57.300 --> 00:11:00.030
Jesus touches the man
191
00:11:01.170 --> 00:11:03.360
and wipes that clay
192
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.080
that had his spit in it on his eyes,
193
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.650
and then he tells the man, go wash
194
00:11:11.970 --> 00:11:15.360
in the pool of Siloam, which is translated - sent.
195
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.160
So we went and washed
196
00:11:18.030 --> 00:11:20.820
and came back seeing.
197
00:11:22.260 --> 00:11:24.930
What a miracle.
198
00:11:24.930 --> 00:11:27.180
What a miracle.
199
00:11:27.180 --> 00:11:31.800
This man has never seen
one thing in his life.
200
00:11:31.800 --> 00:11:34.800
He was born blind.
201
00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:38.580
He's never seen the face of his mother.
202
00:11:38.580 --> 00:11:41.130
He's never seen the sky.
203
00:11:41.130 --> 00:11:43.770
He's never seen his own hand.
204
00:11:43.770 --> 00:11:47.040
He's never seen the
face of his father, any
205
00:11:47.040 --> 00:11:49.290
of his siblings, his siblings.
206
00:11:49.290 --> 00:11:53.490
He's never seen a tree, he's never seen
207
00:11:54.580 --> 00:11:59.140
anything and he washes
208
00:11:59.140 --> 00:12:04.140
and the Bible says he came back seeing.
209
00:12:04.210 --> 00:12:08.380
Can, can you even imagine what was going on
210
00:12:08.380 --> 00:12:10.000
inside of this man?
211
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:11.110
Look at verse 8.
212
00:12:12.760 --> 00:12:14.170
Therefore, the neighbors
213
00:12:14.170 --> 00:12:18.910
and those who previously had
seen that he was blind said -
214
00:12:18.910 --> 00:12:21.603
is not this he who sat
215
00:12:21.603 --> 00:12:25.120
and begged? Some said,
216
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:30.010
this is he: others said he is like him.
217
00:12:30.010 --> 00:12:34.480
And then the man said, I am he.
218
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:36.070
Can you imagine this man?
219
00:12:36.070 --> 00:12:38.260
He's seeing for the first time in his life
220
00:12:38.260 --> 00:12:41.470
and he's saying, no, no, no - it's not somebody
221
00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:44.050
that's like me, it's me, it's me.
222
00:12:44.050 --> 00:12:46.210
I'm the man that was born blind
223
00:12:47.350 --> 00:12:50.980
and I'm seeing. Verse 10:
224
00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:55.870
Therefore they said to him,
how were your eyes opened?
225
00:12:55.870 --> 00:12:56.920
He answered
226
00:12:56.920 --> 00:13:01.840
and said, A man called Jesus made clay,
227
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.730
anointed my eyes
228
00:13:03.730 --> 00:13:08.730
and said to me, go to the pool of Siloam and wash.
229
00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:12.610
So I went, I washed and I received sight.
230
00:13:12.610 --> 00:13:17.530
So this man, so simply he
gives his testimony about
231
00:13:17.530 --> 00:13:21.730
this man called Jesus that he
put clay on his eyes, told him
232
00:13:21.730 --> 00:13:25.540
to go wash, and he came back seeing. Verse 12:
233
00:13:25.540 --> 00:13:28.720
Then they said to him, where is he?
234
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:30.910
He said, I don't know.
235
00:13:32.590 --> 00:13:36.670
They brought him who formally was blind
236
00:13:36.670 --> 00:13:38.290
to the Pharisees.
237
00:13:38.290 --> 00:13:43.180
So now this man who's received this amazing miracle
238
00:13:43.180 --> 00:13:47.680
is now being escorted to the Pharisees.
239
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:52.960
Now, it was a Sabbath
when Jesus made the clay
240
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:55.480
and opened his eyes: Verse 15:
241
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:59.500
Then the Pharisees also asked him again
242
00:14:00.345 --> 00:14:02.620
how he had received his sight.
243
00:14:02.620 --> 00:14:07.360
He said to them - He put clay on my eyes
244
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:08.710
and I washed
245
00:14:08.710 --> 00:14:12.970
and I see. So this is the
second time this man is trying
246
00:14:12.970 --> 00:14:15.220
to get across to these people
247
00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:19.000
that this man put clay
on my eyes and I washed,
248
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:20.380
and now I see.
249
00:14:22.150 --> 00:14:25.840
Can you imagine having such
an amazing miracle born blind
250
00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:28.210
and seeing and nobody believes you and
251
00:14:28.210 --> 00:14:31.210
and people are saying,
oh, it's not really you.
252
00:14:31.210 --> 00:14:34.750
I cannot even imagine like
253
00:14:34.750 --> 00:14:38.380
somebody experiencing that
and nobody's happy for you.
254
00:14:38.380 --> 00:14:41.920
They just question you. Verse 16:
255
00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:44.770
Therefore, some of the Pharisees said,
256
00:14:44.770 --> 00:14:47.680
this man is not from God
257
00:14:47.680 --> 00:14:50.830
because he does not keep the Sabbath.
258
00:14:51.680 --> 00:14:54.320
Others said, how can a man
259
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.740
who is a sinner do such signs?
260
00:14:57.740 --> 00:15:00.260
And there was a division among them.
261
00:15:02.750 --> 00:15:06.380
Verse 17: they said to
the blind man again,
262
00:15:06.380 --> 00:15:11.380
what do you say about him
because he opened your eyes.
263
00:15:11.510 --> 00:15:13.850
He said, he's a prophet,
264
00:15:15.380 --> 00:15:18.440
but the Jews did not
believe concerning him
265
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.360
that he had been blind
266
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:25.360
and received his sight until
they called the parents of him
267
00:15:25.370 --> 00:15:27.230
who had received his sight
268
00:15:28.880 --> 00:15:33.560
and they ask them saying - Is this your son
269
00:15:33.560 --> 00:15:37.850
who you say was born blind?
270
00:15:37.850 --> 00:15:42.320
How then does he now see? This man is
271
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:46.580
so questioned and now they're interrogating
272
00:15:46.580 --> 00:15:50.480
his parents. His parents say in verse 20:
273
00:15:51.740 --> 00:15:56.630
They answered them and said,
we know that this is our son
274
00:15:56.630 --> 00:15:58.640
and that he was born blind,
275
00:15:59.480 --> 00:16:03.050
but by what means He
now sees we do not know
276
00:16:03.050 --> 00:16:05.840
or who opened his eyes.
277
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:10.250
We do not know. He is of age - ask him.
278
00:16:10.250 --> 00:16:12.110
He will speak for himself.
279
00:16:14.030 --> 00:16:17.300
His parents said these things
because they feared the Jews.
280
00:16:17.300 --> 00:16:19.550
For the Jews had agreed already
281
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:24.080
that if anyone confessed that he was Christ,
282
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:26.870
he would be put out of the synagogue God.
283
00:16:26.870 --> 00:16:30.800
Therefore, the parents said he is of age,
284
00:16:30.800 --> 00:16:35.800
ask him. Can you imagine if you had a son
285
00:16:35.810 --> 00:16:37.100
who was born blind
286
00:16:38.150 --> 00:16:40.940
and you really didn't
give their testimony?
287
00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:44.090
That's exactly what these parents did:
288
00:16:44.090 --> 00:16:46.130
because of fear of man,
289
00:16:46.130 --> 00:16:48.590
they didn't give their testimony.
290
00:16:48.590 --> 00:16:53.360
Friend, do not let that be
you. You give your testimony.
291
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.940
You say what God is doing in your life.
292
00:16:55.940 --> 00:16:59.390
You say how he delivered
you; you speak up
293
00:16:59.390 --> 00:17:02.750
when people around you are talking about their problems,
294
00:17:02.750 --> 00:17:06.110
you say what God's done in your life
295
00:17:06.110 --> 00:17:07.970
because that's your story.
296
00:17:07.970 --> 00:17:09.680
They can't argue with that,
297
00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:13.370
and the Bible says in Revelation 12:11,
298
00:17:13.370 --> 00:17:16.970
that we overcame the devil by the blood of the lamb
299
00:17:16.970 --> 00:17:20.180
and the word of our testimony.
300
00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:25.180
Don't be like these parents and hide their son's testimony.
301
00:17:25.310 --> 00:17:28.520
You give glory to God and
you give your testimony.
302
00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:34.340
So they again called the man who was blind
303
00:17:34.340 --> 00:17:37.940
and said to him - give glory to God.
304
00:17:37.940 --> 00:17:42.940
We know that this man is
a sinner. Can you imagine?
305
00:17:43.070 --> 00:17:47.990
Can you imagine that they're
saying that Jesus is a sinner?
306
00:17:49.170 --> 00:17:52.680
He answered and said,
whether he is a sinner
307
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:54.540
or not, I do not know.
308
00:17:54.540 --> 00:17:55.950
This man's so innocent.
309
00:17:55.950 --> 00:17:58.890
One thing I know - he just knows one thing,
310
00:17:59.790 --> 00:18:03.210
he says - though I was blind,
311
00:18:03.210 --> 00:18:05.910
now I see.
312
00:18:05.910 --> 00:18:08.640
You know, somebody might say to you, well,
313
00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:11.970
how can you say this happened?
314
00:18:11.970 --> 00:18:13.740
Well, I can't. You can say, well,
315
00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:16.470
I can't explain how it happened.
316
00:18:16.470 --> 00:18:20.880
I just know that I was this
way and now I'm that way.
317
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:23.460
I just know that I couldn't see very well
318
00:18:23.460 --> 00:18:26.070
and God healed my eyes
and I see perfectly
319
00:18:26.070 --> 00:18:28.020
now. I just know
320
00:18:28.020 --> 00:18:31.410
that I had such mental problems
321
00:18:31.410 --> 00:18:35.370
and I was having panic
attacks and I prayed
322
00:18:35.370 --> 00:18:39.060
and God touched my heart and now I'm free.
323
00:18:39.060 --> 00:18:43.050
How did it happen?
Supernatural power of God.
324
00:18:43.050 --> 00:18:45.390
It doesn't matter if
they don't understand,
325
00:18:45.390 --> 00:18:48.930
just say just like this
blind man said, I don't know
326
00:18:48.930 --> 00:18:51.720
how it happened, but all I know is
327
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:54.900
I don't know if he was a
sinner, but I know this.
328
00:18:54.900 --> 00:18:56.220
I was blind
329
00:18:56.220 --> 00:19:00.240
and now I see. You can say that.
330
00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:02.370
You don't have to explain yourself.
331
00:19:02.370 --> 00:19:03.960
You just give your testimony
332
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.110
and give God glory just like this man did.
333
00:19:07.110 --> 00:19:08.970
Then they said to him again -
334
00:19:10.380 --> 00:19:12.420
What did he do to you?
335
00:19:12.420 --> 00:19:16.920
How did he open your
eyes? He answered them.
336
00:19:16.920 --> 00:19:21.420
I told you already. You did not listen.
337
00:19:21.420 --> 00:19:23.460
Why do you wanna hear it again?
338
00:19:23.460 --> 00:19:26.820
Do you also want to become his disciple?
339
00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:33.120
Then they reviled him and
said - You are his disciple.
340
00:19:33.120 --> 00:19:36.090
We are Moses disciple.
341
00:19:36.090 --> 00:19:40.020
We know that God spoke to
Moses as for this fellow,
342
00:19:40.020 --> 00:19:43.620
we do not know where he came from.
343
00:19:43.620 --> 00:19:47.700
The man answered and said to them - Why
344
00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:51.270
this is a marvelous thing that
345
00:19:52.320 --> 00:19:57.270
to happen, that you do
not know where he's from,
346
00:19:57.270 --> 00:20:00.480
yet he is opened my eyes.
347
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.180
That blind man was saying
those religious Pharisees,
348
00:20:03.180 --> 00:20:05.520
he's saying, you're
supposed to be religious.
349
00:20:05.520 --> 00:20:08.550
You're supposed to know
things about the spirit
350
00:20:08.550 --> 00:20:12.900
and you do not know who opened my eyes.
351
00:20:12.900 --> 00:20:16.950
You don't understand this. Verse 31:
352
00:20:16.950 --> 00:20:20.970
Now we know that God - he's
preaching to these Pharisees -
353
00:20:20.970 --> 00:20:23.730
now we know that God does not hear sinners,
354
00:20:23.730 --> 00:20:27.390
but if anyone is a worshiper of God
355
00:20:27.390 --> 00:20:29.640
and does his will, he hears him.
356
00:20:31.230 --> 00:20:34.260
Since the world began,
it has been unheard of
357
00:20:34.260 --> 00:20:38.820
that anyone open the
eyes of a man born blind.
358
00:20:39.810 --> 00:20:44.220
If this man were not from
God, he could do nothing.
359
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:47.980
They answered and said to him,
360
00:20:47.980 --> 00:20:51.130
you were completely born in your sins.
361
00:20:51.130 --> 00:20:54.850
Are you teaching us?
And they cast him out.
362
00:20:54.850 --> 00:20:57.760
That means they cast him
out of the synagogue.
363
00:20:57.760 --> 00:21:02.350
Verse 35: Jesus heard
364
00:21:02.350 --> 00:21:04.660
that they had cast him out
365
00:21:05.650 --> 00:21:10.570
and when he had found him, friend, I love
366
00:21:10.570 --> 00:21:12.790
that so much.
367
00:21:12.790 --> 00:21:15.550
The blind man wasn't looking for Jesus.
368
00:21:15.550 --> 00:21:18.160
Jesus was looking for the blind man.
369
00:21:19.420 --> 00:21:24.420
You didn't choose Jesus. The
Bible says that he chose you.
370
00:21:24.430 --> 00:21:29.430
You weren't looking for Jesus, he was looking for you.
371
00:21:29.710 --> 00:21:33.340
He was bringing you to that
place where you would come into
372
00:21:33.340 --> 00:21:38.340
that salvation that the Holy
Spirit would touch your heart
373
00:21:38.620 --> 00:21:41.410
and the grace of God would come on you
374
00:21:41.410 --> 00:21:44.290
and you would receive him
as your Lord and Savior;
375
00:21:45.190 --> 00:21:48.070
and that's what Jesus was doing for this man.
376
00:21:48.070 --> 00:21:53.070
Jesus was searching for
this man and he found him.
377
00:21:53.380 --> 00:21:54.790
He said to him,
378
00:21:55.630 --> 00:21:58.390
Do you believe in the Son of God?
379
00:21:59.530 --> 00:22:02.380
Verse 36: He answered
380
00:22:02.380 --> 00:22:05.860
and said, who is he Lord,
381
00:22:05.860 --> 00:22:08.170
that I may believe in Him?
382
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:14.050
37: And Jesus said to him,
383
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:17.890
you have both seen him
384
00:22:17.890 --> 00:22:21.340
and it is he who is talking to you.
385
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.710
Then he said, Lord, I believe
386
00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:29.530
and he worshiped him.
387
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:34.600
What an encounter that this man
388
00:22:36.190 --> 00:22:40.180
born blind, we don't know how old he is
389
00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:42.310
or how many years he was blind,
390
00:22:43.750 --> 00:22:48.460
but now he sees Jesus.
391
00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:53.080
Jesus tells him, he's the
son of God and the man
392
00:22:54.850 --> 00:22:56.350
we would picture
393
00:22:57.550 --> 00:23:00.340
that he probably fell down on the ground
394
00:23:02.200 --> 00:23:05.470
before Jesus, before his feet,
395
00:23:06.460 --> 00:23:08.020
and he worshiped him.
396
00:23:09.850 --> 00:23:12.550
What an encounter this man had that
397
00:23:13.630 --> 00:23:16.810
changed his life forever.
398
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.630
Do you remember the first
time that you worshiped him?
399
00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:28.210
Do you remember the first
time you acknowledged - Jesus,
400
00:23:28.210 --> 00:23:30.760
you are Lord. Jesus,
401
00:23:30.760 --> 00:23:35.680
you are my Lord. Jesus, I
trust you with my life.
402
00:23:37.300 --> 00:23:41.830
Do you remember that time
that one-on-one encounter
403
00:23:41.830 --> 00:23:45.980
with him changed your life forever?
404
00:23:48.530 --> 00:23:51.170
This man had that kind of encounter
405
00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:54.110
and he worshiped him.
406
00:23:55.610 --> 00:23:58.610
Jesus is inviting us in this day
407
00:23:58.610 --> 00:24:03.380
and hour to remember what
he's done in our life
408
00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:04.610
and worship him.
409
00:24:05.810 --> 00:24:09.260
Think about what he's done in your life.
410
00:24:09.260 --> 00:24:13.310
Think today about how you can be thankful:
411
00:24:13.310 --> 00:24:18.310
how you can appreciate what he's done: how you can remember
412
00:24:18.530 --> 00:24:21.980
what he's done in your life:
413
00:24:21.980 --> 00:24:26.480
how he touched you, how he healed you, how he delivered you,
414
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:29.360
how he touched your child, how he helped you
415
00:24:29.360 --> 00:24:33.560
with your finances, how he
brought peace to your mind.
416
00:24:35.840 --> 00:24:40.100
Remember and worship him.
417
00:24:40.100 --> 00:24:43.490
That's what this man
did who was born blind
418
00:24:43.490 --> 00:24:48.490
and found out that Jesus who
was standing in front of him
419
00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:53.270
that he could see was the son of God.
420
00:24:54.230 --> 00:24:58.310
He was the Messiah. He was
the one he was looking for.
421
00:24:59.510 --> 00:25:02.330
Are you tired of getting
stopped by the negative voices
422
00:25:02.330 --> 00:25:05.330
and opinions that seem to
paralyze you along the way?
423
00:25:05.330 --> 00:25:06.530
Fear, offense
424
00:25:06.530 --> 00:25:08.690
and negative opinions can have a stifling
425
00:25:08.690 --> 00:25:09.980
effect on your life.
426
00:25:09.980 --> 00:25:12.140
It's time for you to
push them out of the way
427
00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:14.180
and become Unstoppable.
428

If you've never received

and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life

Jesus has to give you.
461
00:26:44.250 --> 00:26:48.570
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,
462
00:26:48.570 --> 00:26:53.280
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
463
00:26:53.280 --> 00:26:56.580
and Lord. Wash away my sin
464
00:26:56.580 --> 00:26:59.190
and make me completely new.
465
00:26:59.190 --> 00:27:01.560
I thank you that my sin is removed
466
00:27:01.560 --> 00:27:06.560
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
467
00:27:06.630 --> 00:27:11.630

I will serve you as my Lord
468
00:27:11.670 --> 00:27:14.280

Perhaps I have to do another test.
475
00:27:44.490 --> 00:27:47.220
The only thing to do is to wait.
476
00:27:50.280 --> 00:27:53.825
