It Is Time
Hebrews 5:11 “About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. I have a lot more to say …but it may be hard for you to follow since you’ve become dull in your understanding.” (ESV & The Voice)
Yesterday, we delved into things that cause deafness. The first is Hardness of Heart. The second is Pride. And the third cause of deafness that we will explore is the Lack of Spiritual Growth. Read the rest of this entry
Heart Matters
Ezekiel 36:26 “And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart.”
There are things that cause sound to be put off, and as we journey in restoration, it is important for us to know them and avoid such villages. For sound to be off in hearing, it is called deafness. Read the rest of this entry
Just Declare
Mark 7:34-35 “He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, “Ephphatha!” (which means “Be opened!”). At this, the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.” (NIV).
The third thing that jumped out at us from Mark 7:31-37 (please read) is the fact that Jesus spoke life. The spoken word has the power to bring about restoration. The words you speak over a situation have the power to bring about restoration. Read the rest of this entry
Unashamed
Mark 7:32 “There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.” (NIV, emphasis added).

The Key
Mark 7:37 “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.”
Sound is being restored to you in the Name of Jesus. Sound that is coming to you and sound that is going from you is being restored in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Ephphatha!
Mark 7:35 “At once the man’s ears opened and he could hear perfectly, and his tongue was untied and he began to speak normally.” (TPT)
Over the next few days in our journey to restoration, we will be focusing on restoring sound. God’s Word to us this season is restoration, and so shall it be in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
The Bridge
Galatians 5:1 “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” (NIV).

Renewed
Mark 8:25-26 “Then Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes again, and his eyes were opened. His sight was completely restored, and he could see everything clearly. Jesus sent him away, saying, “Don’t go back into the village on your way home.”
Just like the man’s sight was restored, your sight will be restored in the Name of Jesus. Beginning today, we will delve into three significances of restored sight. Read the rest of this entry
Just Do It!
Mark 8:26 “Jesus sent him away, saying, “Don’t go back into the village on your way home.”

Face To Face
Matthew 20:31-34 “…Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!” When Jesus heard them, he stopped and called, “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord,” they said, “we want to see!” Jesus felt sorry for them and touched their eyes. Instantly they could see! Then they followed him.”
Community can guide you and help bring you to Jesus, but you have to encounter Jesus for yourself. Years ago, I was in the North of Nigeria, I can’t remember which state exactly. Read the rest of this entry
