14 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
CPJ 27th May 2014
Elsewhere I tell the story of two incidents which happened before I was born. The first was some time while my father was overseas with The NZ Engineers as a sapper during WWII. He was in Egypt, and God said to me one day, (I was on planet Pluto, and knew nothing about the war except that before Germen invaded Poland, my Grandfather, ( Mum's father), was playing gramaphone records to the children, sitting on the bottom of the stairs, while they were upstairs in bed getting off to sleep. I heard the record suddenly speak of the impending invasion of Poland by the Nazis, but being Jesus, I thought nothing of it and left all that to God. It was hoped that women would be forwarned and get the message to each other.
Then in 1942 or so, God said to me, "what do you want to do", or "do you want to do something" or such. It was not a spoken word, but a thought, but not my thought. I understood that it was my father, and I had the option of helping him, and thus increasing the chances of my being conceived and born in the future, or not. I indicated that I did, and was immediately transported to a place in the desert. At first I could see nothing, but after quickly looking behind a nearby sand dune, I saw a man lying on the ground, apparently unconscious. I did not notice blood, but I lifted him onto my shoulder, and immediatey began to follow the footprints in the sand, back they way the party had come. I didn't notice any other bodies. I jogged, with his head hitting me in the back as I ran. "I'm sorry," I said to him. What I understood had happened, later, was that the men had been on a 20 mile route march as part of their training, when one of the officers had unleashed the magazine of a tommy gun on them, killing them, or some of them, but I don't know whether or not this is true. My father never mentioned it, apart from the fact they did march 20 miles on occasion, and were not allowed either to drink any of their water, or empty their water bottles to make them lighter. I jogged through the desert, and up a three foot bank without breaking stride. Eventually I got to the camp, where there were some tents, some medical tents with stretchers, a couple of officers having a chat, and a nurse ot two. I simply put him on one of the medical stretchers, and said "Fix him up", more as an order, barked out than a request, and jogged back into the desert following my tracks. I was wearing my military uniform, but I don't remember whether it was shorts or kahki trousers.
