I think it has something to do with the blind men considered unclean. When Jesus would touch them he would be consider ed unclean also and which would be difficult for his ministefy. You see the same thing happening with the lepers who were cured. In the end it was of no consequence. The joy of being cured was the most important. Maybe this time of pandemic makes us understand a bit better.

On 12 Feb 2020 I collapséd in my backyard while mowing the lawn. I asked my when she heard my cures. I asked her to get the neighbour to help get me to bed to rest Gae also insisted she call for an ambulance.. They diagnosed stroke and đ was rushed to the stroke unit in wagga wagga wagga. My prognosis was 50/50 to live.today I am doing the lawns again and leading a normal life under lockdown thanks bee to My faith in GOD.
I can see God places the right people in people’s lives at the right time. I can see this in my son’s life especially the past few years where he has needed the right people in his life.
I have seen this in my life and in my family’s lives as we deal with our struggles.

My son was a deeply troubled and lost teen. After years of my vigilant prayer he eventually became a youth pastor. My book of poetry that I sent you Bruce titled ‘POAM’ Prayers of a Mother speaks much about prayer, I wonder have you read that particular poem. It has been an encouragement to many. Never underestimate the power of a mother on her knees praying vigilantly for her child.

I was caring for a family member with a dependency on certain legal medications. Sadly the doctor kept indulging him by continuing to provide extra prescriptions for these drugs. This led to serious medical issues and several health crises over the years requiring regular hospitalisation. I tried everything to help and he would stop, but then relapse. The doctors and specialists couldn’t help. I prayed everyday for many years. I cried out to God and said Help him because I can’t. And over the course of a couple of years it came to a head when he was in resuscitation.… Read more »

I’m asking the Holy Spirit to show me if it is from God. Bruce if you ever feel that you are inspired by God, to write a book about the many miracles you have seen God do in front of… Read more »

A few years ago I was watching a religious show (Catholic) and they were talking about sending your Guardian Angel to those in need. I’m saying to myself ya right. I went 11 years of Catholic School and I never heard that. So I picked the MOST UNLIKELY person. A few days later this person started talking about ANGELS. I AM A BELIEVER now. I love the Holy Spirit book Bruce, and pick a few prayers each day. GOD BLESS !!!!!

I still don’t understand ….. why??!!…would Jesus have said not to tell anyone ?
Yes I would like to know the answer to this as well! I think it appears in the Bible often. Can you explain this?
I think it has something to do with the blind men considered unclean. When Jesus would touch them he would be consider ed unclean also and which would be difficult for his ministefy.
