Just AskWritten by Joyce C. Lock
Continued from page 1
And this is record of John, when Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of Father in my name, he may give it you. Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was Lord. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to power that worketh in us. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of sea driven with wind and tossed. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. And this is confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have petitions that we desired of him. If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. © by Joyce C.

Moreover light of moon shall be as light of sun, and light of sun shall be sevenfold, as light of seven days, in day that Lord bindeth up breach of his people, and healeth stroke of their wound. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and days of thy mourning shall be ended. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Lord. There is one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another glory of stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of new moon, or of sabbath days. Glimpses of God © by Joyce C.
