Mark 7:31-37 (NKJV)
Again, departing from the region
of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the
Sea of Galilee. [32] Then they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an
impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him. [33] And
He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He
spat and touched his tongue. [34] Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed, and
said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened." [35] Immediately
his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke
plainly. [36] Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more
He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it. [37] And they were
astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well. He makes
both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."
If a religion does not claim
Jesus as God then it is a cult.
1. Appointments for our lives.
God does not act on your time frame.
God saves you and you are to
yield to his workings
2. Announce to Jesus well done.
Mark 7:32 (NKJV)
Then they brought to Him one who
was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His
hand on him.
Helen Keller - lost her
abilities, like this man in Mark 7.
2 Corinthians 5:20 (NKJV)
Now then, we are ambassadors for
Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's
behalf, be reconciled to God.
Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will
quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."
