Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect
yesterday's portion of heavenly manna the word of God to
keep us through today's challenges. On this program, we are
going to change all of that. Let's experience God's words
today and receive the power we need to live healthy,
vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,
author speaker Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Good morning. It is Wednesday, August seven,
twenty twenty four. Hello, my name is El David Harris.
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
where we give you God's word every single day, and
today is no exception. We are continuing to build in
our Lesson study series through the Book of Mark, and
our caption for today is Tongue Tide Tongue tiede. We'll
get into that in just a moment, but first I'd
like to say welcome to you and ask you to
please go over to your Daily Portion dot com. Please
join our online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion
book and let us know where you are in the world.
At your Daily Portion dot Com. This is one of
the ways that we continue to build faith and fellowship.
Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get underway.
Father and Heaven, thank you for giving us this new day.
Please give us mouths with which to praise You in Jesus,
they might pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay, So I
want to build on our discussion from yesterday as we
make this transition to today's discussion from the book of
the book titled the Desire of Age's page four hundred
and one, we read by his dealings with her, and
if you were not here yesterday, then please scroll back
to yesterday's broadcast. By his dealings with her, he has
shown that that she, who has been regarded as an
outcast from Israel, is no longer an alien, but a
child in God's household. As a child, it is her
privilege to share in the Father's gifts. We were talking
about God making provision for us to be accepted, not
just accepted, but welcomed, not just welcomed, but donned with
the privileges of being Kid's kids, King's kids. The Father
who created all things to be considered to be his
children through Christ is not only a privilege, but it
is an incredible situation that a lot of people just
can't envision. The woman though. Somehow, the woman we spoke
about yesterday, and I said, scroll back to that one. Somehow,
by faith was able to see that if I am
just in the presence of this man, Jesus, who's no
ordinary man, but he is the one who's spake and
it stood fast, he created, and now we see an experience.
He's the one who said, let there be light, and
there was light. If I can just get into his presence,
then whatever I need, he will give it to me.
Even if I have to humble myself before him. I'm
going to be in his presence. And Jesus rewarded that humility.
He rewarded her willingness to put herself in a situation
that others would not be willing to do. And he said,
now you are my child, and I'm going to make
sure you get everything you need and more. And so
now we make the transition to chapter seven, and we
begin at verse thirty one. And I want you to
be thinking, Okay, why did I make that transition today, Well,
because you let me ask you a question like, do
you think that she praised God at that moment, and
Jesus gave her all she needed and more. Do you
think that she praised God? And of course the answer
is absolutely yes. And when I pray for big things
from God in air quotes, it's not big for him.
I said, God, now, when you do what you're gonna do,
please give us give me a mouth with which to
praise you. This man that we're going to talk about
today had a mouth and he needed to be able
to use it to praise God. Let's go to verse
thirty one now of Mark chapter seven. Then he departed
from the coasts of Tire and Sidon and came unto
the Sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts
of Decapolis verse thirty two. And they bring unto him
one that was death and had an impediment with his speech,
so the brother couldn't hear, and his speaking was not right,
it was off, and they beseech him to put his
hand upon him, and he took him aside from the multitude.
I need you to understand that there are times that
God is going to pull you out, call you out,
pull you one side. I think God's people are called
the called out ones at Clysia called out, called out,
that is, church at Clysia called out. He calls this
man out from the multitude. You see, God has sheep
that are not of this fold him also will he bring.
He has people who will hear his voice because they
are his children. And so he pulls this man who
can hear his voice. He pulls him from the crowd
the multitude, and put his fingers into the man's ears,
and he spit and touched his tongue, and looking up
to heaven, he sighed and said, unto him Ephratha, that
is be opened. Now. Now I need you to hear
what just happened. I didn't say, see, I need you
to hear what just happened. In the beginning of the
ten it says, and they bring unto him a man
that was death. But then he said, down here, he
said in verse thirty four, unto him, be opened. How
in the world did this man here when Jesus said,
be opened? Because God called him out. The Bible says
that his sheep hear his voice. So when Jesus speaks,
whether you are deaf or not, when Jesus speaks, you
hear his voice. Oh I wish I had the time
he heard his voice, because he was one of Jesus's sheep,
and now he's in transition. He is receiving healing by
faith and straightway. His ears were open. I need somebody
to type in the chat immediately, And immediately his ears
were opened, and the string of his tongue was loose,
and his mouth now was able to speak plainly. He
spaked plain verse thirty six. And he charged them that
they should tell no man. But the more he charged
them so much, the more a great deal. They published it.
And we're beyond measure, astonished, saying he hath done all
things well. He maketh both the death to hear and
those who can't speak. He gave them the ability to speak.
Aren't you glad that Jesus is able to cause people
who were tongue tied to be able to speak speak?
What speak? Great things? The great things that God has
done for them, The great things that God has done
for you. Can we just take it home right now,
like what has God done for you? Go ahead and
type it in the chat, or if you're listening after
the fact, put it in the comments section. If you're
in the podcast, make it a review and then put
what great things God has God done for you? Hih
and delivered you? What is He doing for you today
and this day in August in twenty twenty four? What
is He doing for you? And I thank God that
He has given us mouths with which to praise him.
He has given us lives that become a testimony to
people who see that God is able to deliver me
from that broken mindset that is negative, that is always
looking for the problems in the situation, rather than looking
for God in the situation, the problem solver, the creator
of all things, Blessed be his name. God is able
to give me a mouth with which to praise him
because He delivers us from abusive relationships. Ah. He delivers
us from the mindset that says, well, has God heard me?
Or has He forgotten me? God has given us, given
us mouths with which to praise Him, to say, I
once was lost, but now I'm found. Like I was
sinking past tense, deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore,
very deeply stained within, sinking to no more past tense.
But the Master, as we make this transition of the sea,
has heard my despairing cry, and from the water. He
lifted me. Ha And now at this moment, present, tense,
safe am I. Love lifted me. Love lifted me when
nothing else could help. Love lifted me. I'm so grateful
that God did not leave us in a situation where
we had to look at this man as if he's
the only one that God has the ability to heal.
That he can give you right now, dear brother, You,
right now, dear sister, a mouth with which to praise him.
You don't need to be tongue tied. Open your mouth
and give God the glory for the great things He's
done in your life. Peace.
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
