Hi, welcome to
His Words Are Life.
00:00:16.48\00:00:18.72
I'm Kelly Mowrer.
00:00:18.76\00:00:20.04
Around the world right now we're
all gathering together to read
00:00:20.07\00:00:23.35
the Word of God.
00:00:23.64\00:00:25.06
Every one of us has
things in our life that
00:00:25.09\00:00:26.94
we need answers for.
00:00:26.97\00:00:29.16
We have people we're praying for
00:00:29.19\00:00:31.10
we have situations where
we don't know what to do.
00:00:31.35\00:00:34.15
The answer is here in the Bible.
00:00:34.18\00:00:35.83
The words of life are given to
be health to us, to sustain us,
00:00:35.86\00:00:39.22
and to encourage us.
00:00:39.25\00:00:40.58
Before we begin to read
and enjoy this wonderful gift
00:00:40.61\00:00:43.46
from God, let's
go to Him in prayer.
00:00:43.49\00:00:45.36
Dear God, thank you so much
that although we don't see you
00:00:46.28\00:00:50.99
we can see the words of
the Son that you sent to us.
00:00:51.02\00:00:54.48
We ask that as we read these
words that you will speak to our
00:00:54.51\00:00:58.33
hearts so we will have a very
real sense of your presence,
00:00:58.36\00:01:01.92
and that we will come away from
this time knowing that we have
00:01:01.95\00:01:04.47
been with you and were
strengthened to face the day.
00:01:04.50\00:01:07.62
Thank you and we love
you so much Father, amen.
00:01:07.65\00:01:11.20
I'm reading from the King James
Version, the gospel of John
00:01:12.50\00:01:15.54
chapter eight and
beginning with verse nineteen.
00:01:15.57\00:01:19.40
Then said they unto
Him, Where is thy Father?
00:01:20.27\00:01:23.25
Jesus answered, You
neither know me nor my Father:
00:01:23.28\00:01:26.92
if ye had known me, ye should
have known my Father also.
00:01:26.95\00:01:30.68
These words spake Jesus
in the treasury as he taught
00:01:30.89\00:01:33.80
in the temple:
00:01:33.83\00:01:34.93
and no man laid hands on him;
for his hour was not yet come.
00:01:34.96\00:01:39.31
Then said Jesus again unto them,
00:01:39.62\00:01:41.47
I go my way and ye shall seek
me and shall die in your sins:
00:01:41.50\00:01:46.11
whither I go, ye cannot come.
00:01:46.14\00:01:49.15
Then said the Jews, Will he
kill himself? because he saith,
00:01:49.18\00:01:53.44
Whither I go, ye cannot come.
00:01:53.47\00:01:55.29
And he said unto
them, Ye are from beneath;
00:01:55.32\00:01:59.35
I am from above:
ye are of this world;
00:01:59.38\00:02:03.47
I am not of this world.
00:02:03.50\00:02:06.47
I said therefore unto you,
that ye shall die in your sins:
00:02:06.50\00:02:09.50
for if ye believe not that I am
he, ye shall die in your sins.
00:02:09.53\00:02:15.42
Then said they
unto him, who art thou?
00:02:15.45\00:02:18.14
And Jesus saith unto them,
Even the same that I said unto
00:02:18.17\00:02:22.45
you from the beginning,
I have many things to say
00:02:22.48\00:02:25.24
and to judge of you, but
he that sent me is true, and I
00:02:25.27\00:02:29.00
speak to the world those things
which I have heard of him.
00:02:29.03\00:02:33.72
They understood not that he
spake to them of the Father.
00:02:33.75\00:02:38.10
Then said Jesus unto them, When
ye have lifted up the Son of Man
00:02:38.13\00:02:42.51
then shall ye know that I am he
and that I do nothing of myself.
00:02:42.54\00:02:47.31
but as my Father hath
taught me, I speak these things.
00:02:47.35\00:02:51.22
And he that sent me is with me.
00:02:51.25\00:02:53.61
The Father hath
not left me alone,
00:02:53.64\00:02:55.87
for I do always those
things that pleases Him.
00:02:55.90\00:02:59.76
As he spake these
words many believed on him.
00:02:59.79\00:03:04.00
Then said Jesus to those
Jews which believed on him,
00:03:04.03\00:03:07.65
If ye continue in my word,
then are ye my disciples indeed.
00:03:07.68\00:03:12.68
And ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free.
00:03:12.71\00:03:17.23
They answered him, We be
Abraham's seed and were never
00:03:17.26\00:03:21.51
in bondage to any
man: how sayest thou,
00:03:21.54\00:03:24.50
Ye shall be made free?
00:03:24.53\00:03:27.40
Jesus answered them,
Verily, verily I say unto you,
00:03:27.43\00:03:30.45
Whosoever committeth
sin is the servant of sin.
00:03:30.48\00:03:34.98
And the servant abideth
not in the house forever
00:03:35.01\00:03:38.35
But the Son abideth ever.
00:03:38.38\00:03:42.47
If the Son therefore shall make
you free ye shall be free indeed
00:03:42.50\00:03:46.86
I know that ye are Abraham's
seed; but ye seek to kill me,
00:03:46.89\00:03:50.69
because my word
hath no place in you.
00:03:50.72\00:03:53.04
I speak that which I
have seen with my Father,
00:03:53.07\00:03:57.63
and ye do that which ye
have seen with your Father.
00:03:57.66\00:04:01.13
They answered and said
unto him Abraham is our Father.
00:04:01.16\00:04:04.02
Jesus saith unto them, If
ye were Abraham's children,
00:04:04.05\00:04:07.97
ye would do the works of Abraham
00:04:08.00\00:04:09.70
But now ye seek to kill
me, a man that hath told you
00:04:09.73\00:04:13.33
the truth which I have heard
of God, this did not Abraham.
00:04:13.36\00:04:18.14
Ye do the deeds of your father.
00:04:18.17\00:04:20.74
Then said they to him, We
be not born of fornication;
00:04:20.77\00:04:24.98
we have one Father, even God.
00:04:25.01\00:04:27.47
Jesus said unto them,
If God were your Father,
00:04:27.50\00:04:31.22
ye would love me:
00:04:31.25\00:04:32.80
for I proceeded
forth and came from God;
00:04:32.83\00:04:35.08
neither came I of
myself, but he sent me.
00:04:35.11\00:04:39.28
Why do you not
understand my speech?
00:04:39.31\00:04:41.57
Even because ye
cannot hear my word.
00:04:41.60\00:04:44.88
Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father
00:04:44.91\00:04:48.64
ye will do.
00:04:48.67\00:04:49.71
He was a murderer from
the beginning, and abode not
00:04:49.74\00:04:53.48
in the truth, because
there is no truth in him.
00:04:53.51\00:04:56.50
When he speaketh a lie
he speaketh of his own:
00:04:56.53\00:04:59.69
for he is a liar,
and the father of it.
00:04:59.72\00:05:02.23
And because I tell you
the truth ye believe me not.
00:05:02.26\00:05:06.32
Which of you
convinceth me of sin?
00:05:06.35\00:05:09.63
And if I say the truth,
why do ye not believe me?
00:05:09.66\00:05:13.21
He that is of God
heareth God's words:
00:05:13.24\00:05:16.84
Ye therefore hear them
not, because ye are not of God.
00:05:16.87\00:05:20.76
Then answered the Jews and
said unto him, Say we not well
00:05:20.79\00:05:26.06
that thou art a
Samaritan, and hast a devil?
00:05:26.09\00:05:28.36
Jesus answered, I have not a
devil; but I honor my Father,
00:05:28.39\00:05:33.56
and ye do dishonor me.
00:05:33.59\00:05:36.41
And I seek not mine own glory:
there is one that seeketh and
00:05:36.44\00:05:40.09
judges.
00:05:40.12\00:05:41.09
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
00:05:41.12\00:05:43.78
If a man keep my saying,
he shall never see death.
00:05:43.81\00:05:47.38
Then said the Jews unto
him, Now we know that thou
00:05:49.13\00:05:52.16
hast a devil. Abraham
is dead and the prophets
00:05:52.19\00:05:55.18
and thou sayest, If
a man keep my saying,
00:05:55.21\00:05:57.10
he shall never taste of death.
00:05:57.13\00:05:58.87
Art thou greater than our
father Abraham which is dead?
00:05:58.90\00:06:02.14
and the prophets are
dead: whom makest thou thyself?
00:06:02.17\00:06:07.28
Jesus answered, If I honor
myself, my honor is nothing.
00:06:07.31\00:06:11.44
It is my Father that
honoureth me; of whom ye say,
00:06:11.47\00:06:15.38
that he is your God:
yet ye have not known him;
00:06:15.41\00:06:18.88
but I know him: and if I
should say, I know him not,
00:06:18.91\00:06:22.34
I should be a liar like
unto you but I know him,
00:06:22.37\00:06:26.89
and keep his saying.
00:06:26.92\00:06:29.29
Your father Abraham
rejoiced to see my day:
00:06:29.32\00:06:32.74
and he saw it and was glad.
00:06:32.77\00:06:36.27
Then said the Jews unto him,
Thou art not yet fifty years old
00:06:36.30\00:06:40.03
and hast thou seen Abraham?
00:06:40.06\00:06:41.76
Jesus said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
00:06:41.79\00:06:46.95
Before Abraham was, I am.
00:06:46.98\00:06:51.07
Then took they up stones to cast
at him: but Jesus hid himself,
00:06:51.10\00:06:55.49
and went out of the temple,
going through the midst of them,
00:06:55.52\00:06:58.38
and so passed by.
00:06:58.41\00:07:01.23
I'm reading from the King James
version, the gospel of John.
00:07:01.26\00:07:04.52
We're beginning chapter nine.
00:07:04.55\00:07:07.84
And as Jesus
passed by, he saw a man
00:07:07.87\00:07:10.62
which was blind from his birth.
00:07:10.65\00:07:12.82
And his disciples asked him
saying, Master, who did sin,
00:07:12.85\00:07:17.03
this man or his
parents, that he was born blind?
00:07:17.06\00:07:20.37
Jesus answered, Neither hath
this man sinned, nor his parents
00:07:20.40\00:07:25.59
but that the works of God
should be made manifest in him.
00:07:25.62\00:07:29.68
I must work the works of him
that sent me, while it is day:
00:07:29.71\00:07:33.89
the night cometh,
when no man can work.
00:07:33.92\00:07:36.87
As long as I am in the world,
I am the light of the world.
00:07:36.90\00:07:41.42
When he had thus spoken, he spat
on the ground, and made clay
00:07:41.45\00:07:45.72
of the spittle, and he annointed
the eyes of the blind man
00:07:45.75\00:07:48.99
with the clay.
00:07:49.34\00:07:50.34
And said unto him, Go
wash in the pool of Siloam,
00:07:50.37\00:07:53.91
which is by
interpretation, Sent.
00:07:53.94\00:07:57.50
He went his way therefore,
and washed, and came seeing.
00:07:57.53\00:08:02.89
The neighbors therefore, and
they which before had seen him
00:08:02.92\00:08:06.37
that he was blind, said,
00:08:06.40\00:08:07.77
Is not this he
that sat and begged?
00:08:07.80\00:08:12.50
Some said, This is he:
others said, He is like him:
00:08:12.53\00:08:17.21
but he said, I am he.
00:08:17.24\00:08:19.29
Therefore said they unto
him, How were thine eyes opened?
00:08:19.32\00:08:23.79
He answered and said, A man that
is called Jesus made clay and
00:08:23.82\00:08:27.47
annointed mine
eyes, and said unto me,
00:08:27.50\00:08:29.25
Go to the pool of Siloam,
and wash: and I went and washed,
00:08:29.28\00:08:32.12
and I received sight.
00:08:32.15\00:08:34.14
Then said they
unto him, Where is he?
00:08:34.17\00:08:37.27
He said, I know not.
00:08:37.30\00:08:40.25
They brought to the Pharisees
him that aforetime was blind.
00:08:40.28\00:08:43.98
And it was the sabbath
day when Jesus made the clay,
00:08:44.01\00:08:47.45
and opened his eyes.
00:08:47.48\00:08:49.38
And again the Pharisees also
asked him how he had received
00:08:49.41\00:08:52.51
his sight.
00:08:52.54\00:08:53.51
He said unto them, He
put clay upon mine eyes
00:08:53.54\00:08:56.02
and I washed and do see.
00:08:56.05\00:08:57.75
Therefore said
some of the Pharisees,
00:08:59.03\00:09:00.83
This man is not of God, because
he keepeth not the sabbath day.
00:09:00.86\00:09:05.65
Others said, How can a man that
is a sinner do such miracles
00:09:05.68\00:09:10.75
And there was a
division among them.
00:09:10.78\00:09:13.45
They say unto
the blind man again,
00:09:13.48\00:09:15.59
What sayest thou of him
that he hath opened thine eyes?
00:09:15.62\00:09:19.47
He said, He is a prophet.
00:09:19.50\00:09:21.84
But the Jews did not
believe concerning him,
00:09:21.87\00:09:24.31
that he had been
blind, and received his sight.
00:09:24.34\00:09:26.72
until they called the parents of
him that had received his sight.
00:09:26.75\00:09:30.15
And they asked them saying,
00:09:30.18\00:09:31.42
Is this your son who
you say was born blind?
00:09:31.74\00:09:33.88
How then doth he now see?
00:09:33.91\00:09:36.25
His parents
answered them and said,
00:09:36.28\00:09:38.25
We know that this is our
son, and that he was born blind:
00:09:38.28\00:09:42.43
But by what means he
now seeth, we know not;
00:09:43.37\00:09:46.83
or who hath opened
his eyes, we know not:
00:09:46.86\00:09:50.42
he is of age; ask him:
he shall speak for himself.
00:09:50.45\00:09:55.85
These words spake his parents,
because they feared the Jews:
00:09:55.88\00:09:59.46
for the Jews had agreed already,
that if any man did confess that
00:09:59.49\00:10:03.91
he was Chirst, he should
be put out of the synagogue.
00:10:03.94\00:10:06.48
Therefore said his
parents, He is of age, ask him.
00:10:06.51\00:10:10.88
Then again called they the man
that was blind and said unto him
00:10:10.91\00:10:15.21
Give God the praise, we
know that this man is a sinner.
00:10:15.24\00:10:21.19
He answered and said, Whether he
be a sinner or no, I know not:
00:10:21.22\00:10:25.95
one thing I know,
that, whereas I was blind,
00:10:25.98\00:10:30.36
now I see.
00:10:30.39\00:10:33.75
Then said they to him
again, What did he to thee?
00:10:33.78\00:10:37.22
How opened he thine eyes?
00:10:37.25\00:10:38.62
He answered them, I
have told you already,
00:10:39.97\00:10:41.68
and ye did not hear: wherefore
would ye hear it again?
00:10:41.71\00:10:45.09
Will ye also be his disciples?
00:10:45.12\00:10:47.48
Then they reviled him and
said, Thou art his disciple,
00:10:47.51\00:10:51.44
but we are Moses' disciples.
00:10:51.47\00:10:54.08
We know that God spake
unto Moses: as for this fellow,
00:10:54.11\00:10:57.17
we know not from whence he is.
00:10:57.20\00:11:00.74
The man answered
and said unto them,
00:11:00.77\00:11:02.77
Why herein is a marvellous thing
that ye know not from whence
00:11:02.80\00:11:08.14
he is, and yet he
hath opened mine eyes.
00:11:08.17\00:11:11.54
Now we know that
God heareth not sinners:
00:11:11.57\00:11:14.41
but if any man be a worshipper
of God, and doeth his will,
00:11:14.44\00:11:17.51
him he heareth.
00:11:17.54\00:11:19.78
Since the world began was it
not heard that any man opened
00:11:19.81\00:11:23.26
the eyes of one
that was born blind.
00:11:23.29\00:11:25.75
If this man were not of
God, he could do nothing.
00:11:25.78\00:11:29.80
They answered and said unto him,
00:11:29.83\00:11:31.83
Thou wast altogether born in
sins, and dost thou teach us?
00:11:31.86\00:11:36.78
And they cast him out.
00:11:36.81\00:11:39.07
Jesus heard that
they had cast him out;
00:11:39.10\00:11:41.47
and when he had found
him, he said unto him,
00:11:41.50\00:11:43.79
Dost thou believe
on the Son of God?
00:11:43.82\00:11:47.04
He answered and said,
00:11:47.07\00:11:48.28
Who is he, Lord, that
I might believe on him?
00:11:48.31\00:11:51.36
Jesus said unto him,
00:11:51.39\00:11:53.26
Thou hast both
seen him, and it is he
00:11:53.29\00:11:56.16
that talketh with thee.
00:11:56.41\00:11:58.17
And he said, Lord, I
believe. And he worshipped him.
00:11:58.20\00:12:02.95
And Jesus said, For judgement
I am come into this world,
00:12:02.98\00:12:06.62
that they which
see not might see;
00:12:06.65\00:12:10.06
and that they which
see might be made blind.
00:12:10.09\00:12:15.25
And some of the Pharisees which
were with him heard these words,
00:12:15.28\00:12:18.28
and said unto
him, Are we blind also?
00:12:18.31\00:12:21.75
Jesus said unto
them, If ye were blind,
00:12:21.78\00:12:23.90
ye should have no sin,
00:12:23.93\00:12:25.91
but now ye say, We see;
therefore your sin remaineth.
00:12:25.94\00:12:31.53
I'm reading in the
gospel of John, chapter ten.
00:12:31.56\00:12:35.62
Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that entereth not by the door
00:12:35.65\00:12:41.00
into the sheepfold, but
climbeth up some other way,
00:12:41.03\00:12:43.73
the same is a
thief and a robber.
00:12:43.76\00:12:47.19
But he that
entereth in by the door is
00:12:47.22\00:12:48.95
the shepherd of the sheep.
00:12:48.98\00:12:50.37
To him the porter openeth;
and the sheep hear his voice;
00:12:50.40\00:12:53.75
and he calleth his own sheep
by name, and leadeth them out.
00:12:53.78\00:12:57.98
And when he putteth forth his
own sheep, he goeth before them,
00:12:58.01\00:13:01.90
and the sheep follow
him: for they know his voice.
00:13:01.93\00:13:05.48
And a stranger will they not
follow, but will flee from him:
00:13:05.51\00:13:09.24
for they know not
the voice of strangers.
00:13:09.27\00:13:12.42
This parable spake Jesus unto
them; but they understood not
00:13:13.47\00:13:16.70
what things they were
which he spake unto them.
00:13:16.73\00:13:19.58
Then said Jesus unto them again,
00:13:19.61\00:13:21.30
Verily, verily, I say unto
you, I am the door of the sheep.
00:13:21.33\00:13:26.75
All that ever came before
me are thieves and robbers:
00:13:26.78\00:13:29.86
but the sheep did not hear them.
00:13:29.89\00:13:32.22
I am the door:
00:13:32.25\00:13:34.13
by me if any man
enter in, he shall be saved,
00:13:34.16\00:13:37.01
and shall go in and
out, and find pasture.
00:13:37.04\00:13:40.04
The thief cometh not, but for to
steal, and kill, and to destroy:
00:13:40.07\00:13:44.29
I am come that
they might have life,
00:13:44.32\00:13:47.56
and that they might
have it more abundantly.
00:13:47.59\00:13:50.50
I am the good shepherd:
giveth his life for the sheep.
00:13:50.53\00:13:55.87
But he that is an
hireling, and not the shepherd,
00:13:55.90\00:13:58.05
whose own the sheep are not,
00:13:58.08\00:13:59.94
seeth the wolf coming, and
leaveth the sheep, and fleeth:
00:13:59.97\00:14:02.80
and the wolf catcheth
them, and scattereth the sheep.
00:14:02.83\00:14:05.44
The hireling fleeth,
because he is an hireling,
00:14:05.47\00:14:07.70
and careth not for the sheep.
00:14:07.73\00:14:09.48
I am the good shepherd, and know
my sheep, and am known of mine.
00:14:09.51\00:14:14.93
As the Father knoweth me,
even so know I the Father:
00:14:14.96\00:14:19.17
and I lay down my
life for the sheep.
00:14:19.20\00:14:21.75
And other sheep I have,
which are not of this fold:
00:14:21.78\00:14:25.29
them also I must bring,
and they shall hear my voice;
00:14:25.32\00:14:29.10
and there shall be one
fold, and one shepherd.
00:14:29.13\00:14:33.01
Therefore doth my Father love
me because I lay down my life,
00:14:33.04\00:14:37.04
that I might take it again.
00:14:37.07\00:14:39.07
Goodbye.
00:14:39.10\00:14:40.07
