The grace of Ephada /Mark 7:31-37
Look at verse 34 of the words you read. “He looked up to heaven and sighed, saying to him, Ephah.
This means that it will be opened." The text introduces the blessings that closed things are opened by God's grace.
There is. Here, evada is Latin, but the original pronunciation is epada. And it will open
means. When Jesus came to the Sea of Galilee, the people were deaf and weak.
brought Then Jesus quietly took the man away and put his finger on it.
put it in his ears, spit, and touched his tongue, and prayed to God,
When the sea came, the poor man's ears were opened, the bonds of his tongue were loosed, and he was made whole.
is. In the name of the Lord, I pray that the grace of Evada be with us all at this time.
It is today that something in the life of the saints is thought to be closed and blocked, not opened.
I hope that all will be opened by the grace of the time evada.
1. I am also in need of Ephada's grace.
We do not know who the name of the person in today's text is. What the bible does not write its name
All those who read the Bible, whether spiritual or physical, must be blocked by the history of Ephada.
I think it's to teach you what should happen.
Who received the grace of Ephada today?
He is a deaf and clumsy man who lives near the Sea of Galilee.
1) the deaf
who is deaf ?
This person is deaf. No matter how good people say and beautiful songs
He is the one who cannot hear He is the one who does not hear the criticisms, insults, and insults against him. God
He is the one who cannot hear the word of God. I can't hear you even if I sing Although he is physically
He has two ears to see, but is truly deaf.
Who is deaf in this day and age? If you have ears and cannot hear, you are deaf.
All.
The Lord calls these people spiritually deaf.
(Mark 8:18) "Do you have eyes, but do not see, and ears, but do not hear? Do you not remember?"
Physical deafness is pitiful, but spiritual deafness is even worse. physically deaf
Being Lee is a lifetime of suffering, but spiritual deafness is tormented forever.
So the Lord tells us: (Matthew 11:15) "He who has an ear, let him hear."
Even if the pastor shouts God's word to break his throat, those who know how to close their hearts and listen.
Those who come to visit and do not listen to the words of counsel without raising an eyebrow
Those who give tracts and cry out to believe in Jesus, but do not listen coldly
Aren't these people deaf today? The way my spirit lives and my body lives is a closed heart
The ears should be open and closed.
God gave us ears to hear. I told you to listen to all the miscellaneous things in the world
Rather, it was given to them to hear the word of God, to have faith, and to be saved. God's Word
He was given to listen to what he was saying and to do it.
The unwillingness to listen to God's word is making us spiritually deaf. ten today
I hope you will
Faith grows only when the ears to hear the word are opened. If your ears are closed, your faith cannot grow.
Romans 10:17 says, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.”
I did.
2) the weak person
Who is the dumb who can't speak?
There is a proverb that says 'a dumb person who ate honey'. Today it has a mouth, but a honey-eaten dumb. main text
I hope that the mouths of the saints will be opened like those whose tongues are loosed and their mouths opened.
God made a mouth for us, and it has two functions. One is the edible function, and the other
One is a linguistic function. Eat properly and speak properly.
To be dumb here means to have no linguistic function. Not being able to speak is communication
that this is not done.
Even though a saint has a mouth, he is good at eating, but as a saint, he cannot fulfill his or her linguistic function.
If it has a mouth, it is today's spiritual mute.
There are three functions a saint must perform with his mouth.
(1) Mouth of hymns
In Acts 16:25, the driving force that caused the earthquake to occur was singing “praising God.” jail door
The secret to opening it up was singing.
(Hebrews 13:15) “Therefore, let us always offer to God a sacrifice of praise through Jesus, that
It is the fruit of lips that testify of their name.
(2) Mouth of prayer
(Mark 7:32) “People brought a deaf and speechless man to Jesus, and they begged him to lay his hands on him.
I'll save you"
In verse 32, the word “supplication” appears. It means to save with all your might and sincerity.
(3) The mouth of evangelism
(Mark 7:36) “Jesus warned them not to tell anyone.
is spreading more widely."
The mute, who could not speak, opened his mouth and became the lips of evangelism through Jesus' powerful healing.
2. The Lord who gives the grace of Ephada
1) People who are deaf and dumb
(Mark 7:32) “People brought a deaf and speechless man to Jesus, and they begged him to lay his hands on him.
I'll save you"
People told him that Jesus had come to the Sea of Galilee but had not heard of it.
brought.
Evada's grace arises when it is brought. Those who suffer from physical ailments, troubled by family problems
one who is spiritually oppressed, one who is in failure and despair, one who is discouraged in the life of faith, one who is entangled in sin and the flesh
Those who are bound must be "bred".
who should bring Someone who can hear should bring it. me and you will hear
Aren't they the ones who can?
Just as Andrew, who met Jesus, brings his brother Peter, as Philip brings Nathanael, so does the woman of Sychar.
I hope that you will be the saints who bring you as if you were a Samaritan. bring me before jesus
it will be Bring it to Jesus. open
2) The Lord who restored the one-on-one relationship
The Lord took the deaf and deaf man by himself and went to a place where there were no people. and with your fingers that
He put them in his ears, spit on him, touched his tongue, and healed him.
He is a man who cannot hear at all, so Jesus must have spoken with his gestures without saying a word
is. When he opens his mouth and sticks out his tongue, Jesus places his saliva on his tongue.
You tapped on And in that state, he looked up to the sky and sighed deeply. In other words
That's what you prayed for.
This person is not a believer. And because he was a deaf man, he said to Jesus
Just like you always did,
You cannot ask the question, Do you believe in me, or do you believe that you will be healed. yes
You can't cure a disease simply by laying your hands on your head. cure is not important
La, because it is more important to save that person's soul by instilling faith.
3) Commanded Ephada (Elira)
As he spoke, his ears were opened, and the binding of his tongue was immediately released, and his speech became clear. The Lord is still today
Please believe that the blockages in the lives of the saints will be opened and will be released.
