Open Heaven 5 December 2024 TOPIC: The Purpose Of Your Mouth

MEMORISE: “My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.” – Psalm 145:21 (KJV)

READ: Mark 7:31-37 (KJV)

31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

36 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;

37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Galatians 1-3

Open Heaven 5 December 2024 MESSAGE

The most important reason God created your mouth is for you to sing and shout to Him. This is why He said in Psalm 98:4:

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

In the passage above, God was commanding the whole earth, not just a few people, to make a loud noise unto Him. In other words, He was telling the sea to roar His praises, the trees to clap for Him, and the birds to sing. Likewise, since you are on the earth, your voice must not be missing in this great choir. David said in Psalm 119:164:

Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

God created your mouth principally to sing His praise and to shout unto Him. You may not be able to sing as beautifully as the choristers in your church, but God knows that everybody can shout. That is why He said in Psalm 98:4 that you should make a joyful noise unto Him.

There is a story in Matthew 12:22 that illustrates how important the mouth is to God. A man was brought to Jesus Christ, and the Bible says that the man was blind and dumb. Jesus healed the man, and he began to speak and see. It is interesting to note the order in which the Bible recorded the miracle; the man was ‘blind and dumb’, but then the Bible recorded that he ‘spoke and saw’. This shows that Jesus healed the man’s mouth first before his eyes.

If you have not been shouting and singing to God before, start doing so henceforth. When you are in the bathroom, sing praises to Him. When you are walking along the road, let a chorus be in your mouth. When you are in church, and the minister on the pulpit asks you to shout Halleluyah, shout at the top of your voice. God loves it when you praise Him. When you shout and sing to Him, He is pleased with you and will draw near to you. The Bible says in Psalm 22:3:

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

When you open your mouth to praise God at all times, He will draw near to you and abide with you continually. As a result, you will enjoy the numerous pleasures in His presence forevermore (Psalm 16:11) and experience His peace at all times, irrespective of what is going on around you. Beloved, never stop praising God with your mouth!

Open Heaven 5 December 2024 HYMN 17 – Praise My Soul The King Of Heaven

1 Praise, my soul, the King of heaven;
to his feet your tribute bring.
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven,
evermore his praises sing.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise the everlasting King!

2 Praise him for his grace and favor
to his people in distress.
Praise him, still the same as ever,
slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Glorious in his faithfulness!

3 Fatherlike he tends and spares us;
well our feeble frame he knows.
In his hand he gently bears us,
rescues us from all our foes.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Widely yet his mercy flows!

4 Angels, help us to adore him;
you behold him face to face.
Sun and moon, bow down before him,
dwellers all in time and space.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Praise with us the God of grace!
