Jesus Is Lord
Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, have you no hearing? and have you no memory?
Mark 8:18 BBE
Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, have you no hearing? and have you no memory?
Mark 8:18 BBEWhen I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve.
Mark 8:19 BBE
having eyes do you not see having ears
have you no hearing and have you no
memory a lot of times we just get caught
up in the moment we don’t remember we
don’t hear we don’t stand and listen and
hear from the Word of God or from God as
to what to do but going all different
directions then go all sorts of strange
things get scared at every problem we
encounter so how are we gonna do this
how are we gonna do that but don’t you
remember how the Lord saved you the last
time don’t you remember his grace and
mercy don’t you remember what he did to
help you the previous time that you were
in a big trouble why do you want to do
something else having eyes do you not
see having ears have you no hearing why
do you want to go through the wall when
next to it is a door why do you want to
do it the hard way the way of the world
when the Lord is next to you saying I am
here do you hear do you see do you
remember how the Lord sent his servant
to help you do you remember stay on that
way sail the path that he has laid out
for you
listen see and remember remember the
goodness of God blessed be your Lord and
I pray that you may see that you may
hear and that you may remember remember
how it was that the Lord is helping you
yes I mix it up past tense with present
for the Lord does not know time as we
know it to him a thousand years is one
breath and a breath a thousand years
blessed be your Lord blessed be your
Lord in Jesus mighty name amen
so lord give us your word speak with
your voice speaking to the hearts of
those who are under the power of your
voice in Jesus mighty name amen
mark 8 verse 1 in those days again when
there was a great mass of people and
they had no food
he made his disciples come to him and
said to them I have pity for these
people because they have been with me
now three days and have no food if I
send them away to their houses with no
food they will be overcome by weariness
on the way and some of them have come
from far and his disciples said in
answer how will it be possible to get
enough bread for these men here in a
waste place and he put the question how
much Brad have you and he said seven
cakes and he made the people be seated
on the earth and he took the seven cakes
and having given praise he gave the
broken bread to his disciples to put
before them and he put it before the
people and they had some small fishes
and blessing them he had them put before
the people in the same way and they took
the food and had enough and they took up
seven baskets full of the broken bits
the Lord when he sees the people in need
when he sees you in need he sends out
his disciples he is the one who blesses
everything but he sends out his
disciples for just as he had to come in
the form of a man for the word became
flesh and dwelt among us
so he sends his disciples and the people
took the food and remember Brad is not
man’s only need but every word that
comes from the mouth of God
he took the food and had enough and they
took up seven baskets full of the broken
bits his grace his mercy his gifts is
always overwhelming the exceeding power
of God when they got manna in the desert
there was so much manna that some tried
to store it but it would rot for there
is no fear in God there is no need to
build up a store for the Lord if he so
wills provides day after day too much
for you to finish up every day he
provides it in a certain way through his
man of God but he provides it he blesses
it and gives it do you not see do you
not hear do you remember don’t you
remember when you had nothing and
everyone thought that you were nothing
and no one what did the Lord do did he
send you out into the world
or did he send his disciples his men to
help you blessed be your Lord blessed be
our Lord the word
that became flesh and dwelt among us
marquise verse nine and there are about
four thousand people and he sent them
away and he got into the boat with his
disciples straight away and came into
the country of Dalmanutha and the
Pharisees came out and put questions to
him requesting from him a sign from
heaven testing him the Pharisees and it
is not indicative of an ethnic group but
of a class of people in society always
come out and put questions testing verse
12 and he was very sad in spirit and
said why is this generation looking for
a sign truly I say to you no sign will
be given to this generation and he went
away from them and again got into the
boat and went across the other side he
went across to the other side and they
had taken note ought to get bread and
they had only one cake of bread with
them in the boat and he said to them to
his disciples take care to be on the
watch against the leaven of the
Pharisees and 11 of Harran the leaven of
those who say they bring the Word of God
but don’t but are after filling their
own pockets and against the leaven of
worldly authorities the leaven their
principles their rules their wisdom the
thing that in sneers you
and they said to one another we have no
bread and Jesus hearing it said to them
why are you reasoning among yourselves
because you have no bread do you still
not see and is it still not clear to you
are your hearts so hard no matter how
little you have as his workers as his
disciples as his man of God through his
word through his presence there is
always enough there is always a way of
taking what you have through God and
letting it be a grace a blessing for
many more always no matter how small you
are no matter how little money you have
all of these things do not matter to God
for God is ruler over everything
verse 18 having eyes do you not see and
having ears have you no hearing and have
you no memory they just came over from
where he took seven cakes of bread and
some fishes and fed everyone and there
was over he fed thousands and there was
still over and immediately after he went
into a boat and started well we don’t
have enough bread there’s always enough
the presence of the Lord is enough more
than enough more than enough
blessed be your Lord
when I made a division of the five cakes
of bread among the 5000 what number of
baskets full of broken bits did you take
up they said to him 12 and when the
seven among the 4000 what number of
baskets full of broken bids bits did you
take up and he sat seven and he said to
them is it still not clear to you my
brother my sister is it still not clear
to you the world runs after numbers how
much how many this amount and that the
Lord says if you have me you will always
have more than enough for in his way
that is not a way of the wisdom of the
world you have more you will have more
in a way you did not expect it in a way
you did not plan it blessed be your Lord
is it still not clear to you mark 8
verse 22 and they came to Bethsaida and
they took a blind man to him requesting
him to put his hands on him and he took
the blind man by the hand and went with
him out of the town and when he had put
water from his mouth on his eyes and put
his hands on him he said do you see
anything and looking up he said I see
men I see them like trees walking then
again he put his eyes on his eyes his
hands on his eyes then again he put his
hands on his eyes and looking hard he
was able to see and saw all things
I pray that if you do not see that if
you do not hear that if you do not
remember that the Lord may put his hands
on your eyes that the Lord may put his
hands on your ears that the Lord may
give you his mind so that you might
remember remember how it was that the
grace of the Lord came upon you the last
time you had need remember and go back
for where you are searching now my
sister where you are searching now my
brother is the world is the reign of the
enemy and they will take you with snares
and break you down little by little
through thoughts that seem to have
wisdom but are of the world and worldly
people will advise you and say do this
and do that the Lord says don’t you see
don’t you hear don’t you remember
may the Lord put his hands on your eyes
on your ears on your mind blessed be
your Lord so that you may see all things
clearly in Jesus mighty name amen and he
sent them away mark 8 verse 26 to his
house saying do not even go into the
town don’t even go and mingle with the
world don’t even go into the town
and Jesus went out and you know why he
said don’t even go into the town stay
away from the leaven of the Pharisees
and the people of Herod stay away you
can go wherever you like you can speak
with whomever you like but do not let
their thoughts which are worldly take
you over that is the leaven and Jesus
mark 8 verse 27 went out with his
disciples into the little towns round
Caesarea Philippi and on the way he put
a question to his disciples saying who
do men say that I am and he made answer
John the Baptist and others Elijah but
others one of the prophets and he said
to them but who do you say I am Peter
said in answer you are the Christ and he
put them on their orders not to say this
of him to anyone and teaching them he
said that the son of man would have to
undergo much and be hated by those in
authority and the chief priests and the
scribes and be put to death and after
three days come back from the dead and
he said this openly and Peter took him
and was protesting but he turning about
and seeing his disciples said sharply to
Peter get out of my way Satan for your
mind is not on the things of God but on
the things of men you see Peter wanted
to keep him alive in the flesh
but the thing of God was that there had
to be a sacrificial lamb whose blood
washed away all sin whose blood marked
everything it came in contact with so
that the Evil One the destroyer could
not touch them
the Lord said these things must happen
these things must happen for the Word of
God once gone out whether it be the new
or the Old Testament is valid is valid
get out of my way Satan for your mind is
not on the things of God but on the
things of men that is the nature that is
how you discern a thought whether it be
from God or from Satan and this was a
positive thought Peter says no Lord we
don’t want them to harm you that is a
positive thought yet it is a thought
rooted in preserving flesh in preserving
the things of men and not in acquiring
in getting the grace the exceeding power
of God get out of my way Satan for your
mind is not on the things of God but on
the things of men do you not see do you
not hear do you not remember blessed be
your Lord and turning to the mass of
people mark 8 verse 34 and turning to
the mass of people with his disciples he
said to them if any man
has the desire to come after me let him
give up all other desires oh that’s a
hard one let him give up all other
desires and I speak of my own experience
that is a hard one let him give up all
other desires take up his cross and come
after me whoever has a desire to keep
his life his worldly life will have it
taken from him and whoever gives up his
life because of me
and the good news will keep it what
profit has a man if he gets all the
world with the loss of his life and what
would a man give in exchange for his
life whoever has a feeling of shame
because of me and my words in this false
and evil generation the son of man will
have a feeling of shame because of him
when he comes in the glory of his father
with the Holy Angels I pray I pray that
the Lord may open your eyes may open
your ears may bring to remembrance what
and how he did it for you so that he
might find you standing unwavering with
unmovable fate doing his works with your
mind sat on the things of God and not on
the things of men when he comes in glue
Corie in the glory of his father with
the Holy Angels when he comes in clouds
of glory rewarding every man for their
works that I pray for you in Jesus
mighty name amen
blessed be the name of the Lord
And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?
Mark 8:17
And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me.
Mark 8:34
