OPEN TO GOD'S WORD

 







OPEN TO GOD'S WORD


Today we hear about

A word=called EPHPHATHA=


Ephphatha means BE OPENED=

So my question  to you is=

Are you listening

For GOD'S WORD=

Are you OPEN-

To hear God's word


“........people brought to him-

A deaf man

Who had a speech impediment........


He took him off

By himself........


Put his finger

Into the man's EAR=

And spitting

Touched his tongue


Then he looked up

To heaven and groaned

And said to him

“Ephphatha=that is BE OPENED


And immediately

The man's ears were OPENED


His speech impediment

Was removed=


And he spoke plainly”                                                                                       Mark 7:32, 33-35


Chances are=NOTHING like that

Is ever

Going to happen to us


So=if we are EVER

Going to be open

For the WORD OF GOD

We are=Going to have

To work for it


Let us BEGIN by praying=

Let us begin-

By OPENING UP our bibles=

Let us begin=by READING

The Word of God


Let us BE OPEN=to hear

The Word of God


Let us be open-

Let us hear

Let us LISTEN

For the WORD OF GOD


“........and that you may love

The Lord your God

LISTEN to his voice

And hold fast-to him”                                                                                        Deuteronomy 30:20


“Let the wise LISTEN

And add=to their learning

And let the discerning

Get guidance--------”                                                                                             Proverbs 1:5


We live in the TIME

Of Covid=we live in

A time of infections and DEATH


We live in a time

Of RACIAL INJUSTICE=

And at a time

WHERE each and everyone

Of us


Need to OPEN our ears

And LISTEN

For the Word of God


Let us ALL be open

To God's Word=let us

Read the bible

And let us listen


“My dear brothers

And sisters=take note of this


Everyone should be quick

TO LISTEN=slow to speak

And slow to become angry”                                                                                 James 1:19


Ephphatha=BE OPENED!=

Let us live the

WORD OF GOD


In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our ever LISTENING FATHER!
