And the Lord said unto him, Who have made man's mouth? or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord?
Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of your seed in their generations that have any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that have a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that have a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that have a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or have his stones broken;No man that have a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he have a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he have a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the Lord do sanctify them.
And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Woe unto you, Chorazin! woe unto you, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
But he that enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear:
While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

...even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who have called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;

God wants you healed, even in the days of old, the Lord did not want people with certain infirmities to approach his altar. Why did the Lord lead the blind man by the hand out of this town? One reason is because these people in this place or town are feasting with your flesh and making you have infirmities, such as spots, blemishes, or wrinkles; a sign that you are around the wrong kind of people. Birds of a feather do flock together, and how can anyone walk together except they agree. If you were once enlighten, why be around the same problem you had before, it is better to cast that thing away from you then to go into hell with it, but God is good knowing how to deliver the godly out of temptations. And you felt all your roots were there and you were afraid that you could not take your whole self out of that city or place. Bethsaida did not repent of their sins but lived in error. But Christ called some others out of the town also, preparing them for the Lord. This town can be a place in your mind. Bethsaida had a spirit that made you to think, you are never going to be good enough for the Lord, even when you already repented. Why did the blind man see first in the spirit? men like trees walking, just because you were born somewhere, you don't have to stay there, because God will give you the power to thrive with all your being. For with God all things are possible. And then the Lord made things more clearly to him in his natural sight. We ask God to heal us in the natural, and he wants us to be healed spiritually, first. And when it is all finished, he speaks to us, not to go back into the place that we have been born into (a un-repented place-living in error) and tell none of them about it. Some places will not allow you to be healed, when you had repented long ago...Thank you God for natural healing and spiritual healing!!..The Lord is truly my Shepherd!! Amen. The Lord wants you to know what has happened to you, no longer in the dark.
