Jesus Spirit who indwells born again believers, is gentle and the source of true INSIGHT and kindness. Sadly few trust and FOLLOW Him
There are many deceivers in this world and some call themselves pastors, shaming the Great Shepherd...
He replied to his disciples (see Matt. 13:15-17)... “You’ve been given ☛insight☚ into God’s kingdom. You know how it works. Not everybody has this ☛gift☚, this ☛insight☚; it hasn’t been given to them. Whenever someone has a ready heart for this, the ☛insights and understandings flow freely☚. But if there is ☛no readiness☚, any trace of receptivity soon disappears. That’s why Jesus tell stories: to create readiness, to nudge the people toward receptive insight. ☛In their present state they can stare till doomsday and not see it, listen till they’re blue in the face and not get it☚. Jesus don’t want Isaiah’s forecast repeated all over again: Your ears are open but ☛you don’t hear a thing☚ said Jesus. Your eyes are awake but ☛you don’t see a thing☚. The people are blockheads! They stick their fingers in their ears so they won’t have to listen; They screw their eyes shut so they won’t have to look, so they won’t have to deal with Jesus face-to-face and let Him heal them. “But the born again christians have God-blessed eyes—eyes that see! And God-blessed ears—ears that hear! A lot of people, prophets and humble believers among them, would have given anything to see what the born again christians are seeing, to hear what the born again christians are hearing, but never had the chance...
Matt. 13:15-17 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Matthew 13:13 "Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand."
“Because they seeing see not”: Here Matthew seems to suggest that the Pharisees and Jews own unbelief is the cause of their spiritual blindness. (Luke 8:10), however, emphasizes God’s initiative in obscuring the truth from these unbelievers (“to the rest it is parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand, Isaiah 6:9”). Both things are true, of course. Yet we are not to think that God blinds them because He somehow delights in their destruction (Ezek. 33:11).
Again here, Jesus was just explaining that a saved and unsaved person can look at the same thing and get two totally different messages. The unsaved has their understanding darkened, so that they do not understand.
Matthew 13:14 "And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:"
Quoted from (Isaiah 6:9-10). God is the same God in the Old Testament as He is in the New Testament. Isaiah was just saying the same thing again.
Matthew 13:15 "For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."
You see above that these people had, on their own volition, closed their eyes and ears to the truth. They had to take the scales off their eyes and the stoppers out of their ears that they might see, hear, and understand. It all comes about at conversion to Christ.
Matthew 13:16 "But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear."
It is a blessing from God to be able to see, hear, and understand the Scriptures. The Holy Spirit must be our TEACHER our guide (#1John2verse27). This is a free gift from God; to the blessed of God....
#EndTimes: Zec 7:11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Joh 8:43-44 Jesus said: Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Isa 44:20 He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
2Th 2:10-11 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie...
Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord
2Ti 2:25-26 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Heb 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Isa 57:18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
Jer 3:22 Return, ye backsliding children, andI will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.

Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Mar 4:12 Jesus said: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Zech 7:12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts
Matt 18:3 And Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven
Mark 3:5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other
Mark 8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
Luke 19:42 Jesus said: If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes
John 8:37 Jesus said to the Jews: I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Acts 28:26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive
Rom 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth
Rom 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but
☛the election☚ hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded
Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; ☛that ye may know what is the hope of his calling☚, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints
Eph 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart
Heb 3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness...
In Mat 13:15 God describes the people of Israel as if they have physical diseases that cause them to be unable to learn, to see, and to hear. God wants them to come to him so he will heal them. This is all a metaphor describing the people's spiritual condition. It means the people are stubborn and refuse to receive and understand God's truth. If they would, then they would repent and God would forgive them and welcome them back as his people.
