Morning Scripture
““Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him. But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.” And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side.”
Mark 8:11-13 NKJV
https://www.bible.com/114/mrk.8.11-13.nkjv
When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had arrived, they came and started to argue with him. Testing him, they demanded that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority. When he heard this, he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why do these people keep demanding a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, I will not give this generation any such sign.” So he got back into the boat and left them, and he crossed to the other side of the lake.”

Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for every miraculous sign that you have provided to us. Every coral blue flower, harvest gold sunset, brilliant yellow and black bumble bee, the blue black sky in the midst of the storm, the ___________ is proof that you exist. Every new unexpected home, an unexpected low interest rate, the mystery sale and percentage off on groceries, the phone call that somebody is donating groceries to you, the unseen can of corn in the back of the pantry, the extra 5 miles in an empty tank of gas, or ___________ is proof that you love us so. My Lord, My Jesus, we don’t need to demand a miraculous sign, you give us one every day. In Jesus’ name we pray and shout Glory. Amen.
So Funny.... Jesus signed deeply in his spirit Can't you just see that??

Morning Scripture
“For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her daughter. But Jesus said to her, “Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she answered and said to Him, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs under the table eat from the children’s crumbs.” Then He said to her, “For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.” And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and her daughter lying on the bed.” Mark 7:25-30 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/mrk.7.25-30.nkjv “Right away a woman who had heard about him came and fell at his feet. Her little girl was possessed by an evil spirit, and she begged him to cast out the demon from her daughter. Since she was a Gentile, born in Syrian Phoenicia, Jesus told her, “First I should feed the children—my own family, the Jews. It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.” She replied, “That’s true, Lord, but even the dogs under the table are allowed to eat the scraps from the children’s plates.” “Good answer!” he said. “Now go home, for the demon has left your daughter.” And when she arrived home, she found her little girl lying quietly in bed, and the demon was gone.” Mark 7:25-30 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/mrk.7.25-30.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for a glimpse of the fulfillment of your purpose - that you have come for each and every one of us. Thank you also for reminding us to lead with faith - faith that you will hear our faintest cry and you will answer by and by. Father, My God, thank you for healing and restoration. We come to you, Lord, humble and expecting a miracle. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen. There is so much to shout about in these scriptures. The key is to hear the message, not read the words. Right here, Jesus begins to brush away the belief that He is only here for the children of Israel - the Jews. This lady relied on her faith. She acknowledged that she was a Gentile, but still pressed forward for her blessing for her daughter. Jesus acknowledged her faith and her daughter was restored.
1) We are all worthy - regardless of nationality, background, ethnicity, etc. Jesus is OUR Lord and Savior. 2) Acknowledge in Christ who you are. He sees us. He wants us to see ourselves. and 3) Have faith that Jesus will answer and PUSH forward. (Pray Until Something Happens) AMEN!! |

Morning Scripture
“Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee. 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. And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue. Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly. Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it. 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.”” Mark 7:31-37 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/mrk.7.31-37.nkjv “Jesus left Tyre and went up to Sidon before going back to the Sea of Galilee and the region of the Ten Towns. A deaf man with a speech impediment was brought to him, and the people begged Jesus to lay his hands on the man to heal him. Jesus led him away from the crowd so they could be alone. He put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then, spitting on his own fingers, he touched the man’s tongue. Looking up to heaven, he sighed and said, “Ephphatha,” which means, “Be opened!” Instantly the man could hear perfectly, and his tongue was freed so he could speak plainly! Jesus told the crowd not to tell anyone, but the more he told them not to, the more they spread the news. They were completely amazed and said again and again, “Everything he does is wonderful. He even makes the deaf to hear and gives speech to those who cannot speak.”” Mark 7:31-37 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/mrk.7.31-37.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Father, thank you for healing and deliverance from infirmity. Thank you for friends who raise us up daily to you that you might impart sight and vision to our concerns and give us the boldness to speak clearly. Jesus, you asked that we not tell anyone, but our joy can it be contained. Forgive our disobedience. My Lord, My God, we shout glory to your name. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise for revelation. Amen and amen!! ************************************ WOW!!! The words in my head and the words in my thumbs were totally different. I was completely amazed when I finished. In these days of unrest, we need Jesus to give us clarity - to touch our ears so that we hear the wisdom and purpose of our cause and that we understand what we are fighting for. Then to touch our tongues so that we are charged to speak boldly, not recklessly run around talking about anything, but to speak with clarity and purpose. Ephphatha means Be opened. We should open our minds to wisdom and open our mouths to speak boldly with purpose, not propaganda - for such a time as this. Glory, Be to God. Father and My Jesus, we stand in civil unrest and injustice. Father, quiet our spirits and soothe our pain, so that we may hear you. Open our minds and ears so that we can hear and understand each other with wisdom, so that we may speak boldly, with honesty, intelligence and wisdom. Father, we need you, now, for such a time as this. Be with us we, beseech you. And we pray in you Holy Son’s name. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“In those days, the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar.”” Mark 8:1-3 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/mrk.8.1-3.nkjv “About this time another large crowd had gathered, and the people ran out of food again. Jesus called his disciples and told them, “I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a long distance.”” Mark 8:1-3 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/mrk.8.1-3.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Thank you for your compassion. Father, remind us that sometimes we have come a long way - physically, mentally, and spiritually. Teach us to have compassion for each other as we progress along this journey. Without compassion, understanding, and the sharing of resources we may faint and fall away from each other. My Lord, My God, for such a time as this, restore our hearts and capacity to care. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen. |

Morning Scripture
“Then His disciples answered Him, “How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?” He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.” So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. They also had a few small fish; and having blessed them, He said to set them also before them. So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments.” Mark 8:4-8 NKJV https://www.bible.com/114/mrk.8.4-8.nkjv “His disciples replied, “How are we supposed to find enough food to feed them out here in the wilderness?” Jesus asked, “How much bread do you have?” “Seven loaves,” they replied. So Jesus told all the people to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, thanked God for them, and broke them into pieces. He gave them to his disciples, who distributed the bread to the crowd. A few small fish were found, too, so Jesus also blessed these and told the disciples to distribute them. They ate as much as they wanted. Afterward, the disciples picked up seven large baskets of leftover food.” Mark 8:4-8 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/mrk.8.4-8.nlt |
Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things. Yesterday, Lord, you taught us to have compassion. Today, you teach us to share. Father, thank you for each reminder that you have given us enough to share. Thank you for reminding us that when we trust you to bless what we have, you will multiply it to meet the needs of ourselves and others. Father, give us a spirit to share, a spirit to give, and a spirit of compassion, so that we would love in this world as you have charged us. Because we are our brother's keeper. In Jesus’ name we pray and praise. Amen. P.S. The rest of the story..... “There were about 4,000 men in the crowd that day, and Jesus sent them home after they had eaten.” Mark 8:9 NLT https://www.bible.com/116/mrk.8.9.nlt AND..... I used to think that there was only one instance of Jesus feeding the multitude.... But they are two separate incidents recorded... Mark 6: 35-44; Mark 8:1-9. Amazing what you find when you study for yourself.... Hallelujah Amen. LOLOLOL |
