Mark 7:31-37 (NKJV)
Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee. [32] 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. [33] And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue. [34] Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened." [35] Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly. [36] Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it. [37] 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."

If a religion does not claim Jesus as God then it is a cult.

1. Appointments for our lives. God does not act on your time frame.

God saves you and you are to yield to his workings

2. Announce to Jesus well done.

Mark 7:32 (NKJV)
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.

Helen Keller - lost her abilities, like this man in Mark 7.

2 Corinthians 5:20 (NKJV)
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)

The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."
