A new believer is praying and intentionally seeking God. They are pondering the time when Jesus healed a blind man and the blind man said at the beginning of his own intentional communication with Jesus. "I see men as trees walking".......now...... Out of nowhere the new believer has a moment when they perceived that maybe the Jewish man who had been blind, was beginning to see Jesus as the "tree of life".
Being excited, the new believer can't wait to go to church and share what they were just beginning to understand. When they arrive at the church, the new believer goes to someone in the church and tells them about it. Then they are referred to tell someone with that "Religious Title" about what they are so excited to share..
Immediately, when the Hireling with the "Religious Title" hears it, He takes it away from them (steals it) and replaces it with (Oh, no, not really, You see his sight was actually blurred because he had been blind for such a long time prior to that, and Jesus even had to touch him a second time so he could see better.) something he learned from other hirelings. (replaced it with a lie)
The new believer came away sad, broken hearted, felt stupid, their joy had been taken, and their faith was also destroyed (it was killed) to pursue understanding with the Holy Spirit any more.

Satan is, a thief, a liar, and a murderer ; has been from the beginning.
And is still the same Today

One day soon after, that new believer ran into a good neighbor, who wasn't church inclined, but really loved God. The new believer recounted the whole event to them.
The good neighbor replied. Well, your insight doesn't seem to gender bitterness, or wrath, or vengeance, or cause anyone to not totally focus on Jesus. It does show meekness, kindness, love, patience, a pure heart and glorifies Jesus.

And then the good Neighbor said to the new believer, " I'd think You should get back to the Holy Spirit on this one ".

This story gives a picture of things which you know happen in one form or another. It seems down deep in my heart, that it is connected to blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Don't take my word for this, You, should seek God,
seek Jesus, seek the Holy Spirit on this one, like the new believer does.
Don't follow me. You follow Jesus

Which way do you think Jesus would have handled it?
+
It is written in the book of Matthew;
+
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Do you think that new believer would be the same as a little child in the sight of God?
Have a great day in Jesus
