Open Your Mouth and Say Somethings MARK 10:48

Today reading Romans 8:1-2

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Open Your Mouth and Say Something

Mark 10:48 'And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.'

Open your mouth and say something MARK 10:48

The devil will always have someone available to tell us why we shouldn't expect to get results when you pray God. Most people would rather stay with the crowd not draw attention to themselves even if that means not getting their pray answered. Some people in your circle of friends (The crowd) may even try to make you stop praying as well. If this man would have listened to the crowd, he would not have received his healing. 'Ye have not, because ye ask not' (Jas. 4:2).

Recently, I saw a sign that said, 'Free WiFi, just ask for the password.' It made me think that God's blessings are like that. He's offering them to us, but we need to ask in order to receive them.

Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

This blind man is a good example of faith inaction. He was not passive in his approach toward his healing. He boldly cried out to Jesus for mercy. When the crowd ridiculed him and told him to be quiet, he cried out even louder for mercy.

Imagine if (this blind man) Bartimaeus had been too shy or nervous to call out to Jesus. He might have missed out on his healing. It's a reminder that we just need to open our mouths and say something, whether it's expressing our faith, sharing our struggles, or asking for help. You never know what blessings could be waiting on the other side of Boldness.!!!

Many people believe that God can perform the miracle they need but, few are willing to actively pursue it . They are afraid of what others will think of them. This man had his attention focused only on Jesus. Nothing else mattered and that is why he got healed.

Faith is seeking & believing God with your whole heart. If we are concerned about what people think or you need their approval, are they might criticized you. This one thing has probably stopped you from receiving your breakthrough from God. You cannot be a 'man-pleaser' and please God at the same time. Satan uses persecutions to steal away God's Word and thereby stop our faith. To see faith work, we must say 'let God be true, but every man a liar' (Rom. 3:4). Without faith it is impossible to please God. Heb.11.6

Summary

Although Jesus was concerned about the coming events in Jerusalem, he demonstrated what he had just told the disciples about service (10:45) by stopping to care for the blind man. Blindness was considered a curse from God for sin (John 9:2), but Jesus refuted this idea when he told the people to call the man to him. Bartimaeus threw aside his coat, jumped up, and came to Jesus.

WE are to be persist in prayer, trusting in God's unchanging nature and His supreme authority over all circumstances, demonstrating our dependence on Him and truth Him over our (pain, lost & sickness) . This passage is a powerful reminder of God’s unchanging nature to hear and judge righteously, offering hope and reassurance in His promises to always listen and act on behalf .

Don’t listen to the crowd I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me Jn 10:14.

Let God be true, and every human being a liar.”Rom 3.4

2. Focus on the word of God Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.Isa. 53.4

3.God hear you our struggles are opportunities for God to work His purposes in and through our lives.

“Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. John 9.3

Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

I admit that I am a sinner and understand that the punishment for sin is death.

I believe that Jesus Christ Died on the cross was Buried and resurrected to save me from sin.

I repent of my sin and turn my lift over to you.

I accept through faith. Simple trust in Jesus Christ, His free gift of salvation.

Rom 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Num.6.24“ ‘ “The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” ’
