MATTHEW 13:15-16 (2024)

 MATTHEW 13:15-16

For this people’s heart has grown dull,
and their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes;
so that they might not look with their eyes,
and listen with their ears,
and understand with their heart and turn—
and I would heal them.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see, 

and your ears, for they hear.

---- mine,

Those who belong to the world are dull of heart and deaf to the Word of Life and Truth. Having willfully chosen to be blind and deaf they are incapable of turning to Me and being saved. The culture that prevails in the world is a culture of decay, destruction, and death and those who belong to it are cut off from Me. 

But you, ----, my own, are blessed and you will continue to be blessed for as long as you keep your gaze on Me. Stay close to Me and be united to Me constantly in prayer. Remain in My Presence always. Allow My Holy Spirit to have complete sway over you and submit joyfully always to My will for you in all things and the peace that passes understanding will come on you and remain with you.
