Word of God 12: The Dumb heard and Spoke (The Word of God)

Word of God 12: The Dumb heard and Spoke (The Word of God)

1. Prayer is one of the great laws of natural religion. That man is a brute, is a monster, that never prays, that never gives glory to his Maker, nor feels his favor, nor owns his dependence upon him.
2. That God is to be depended upon, and sought unto, for our deliverance from all evil; and we should pray, not only that we may not be left to ourselves to run into evil, but that we may not be left to Satan to bring evil upon us. Dr. Lightfoot understands it of being delivered from the evil one, that is, the devil, and suggests that we should pray particularly against the apparitions of the devil and his possessions.
3. An appeal to the bowels of earthly fathers: "Let any of you that is a father, and knows the heart of a father, a father’s affection to a child and care for a child, tell me, if his son ask bread for his breakfast, will he give him a stone to breakfast on? If he ask a fish for his dinner , will he for a fish give him a serpent, that will poison and sting him? Or, if he shall ask an egg for his supper , will he offer him a scorpion? You know you could not be so unnatural to your own children,’’.
4. Our Lord Jesus Christ is casting out a devil that made the poor possessed man dumb: in St. Matthew we are told that he was blind and dumb. When the devil was forced out by the word of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the dumb spoke immediately, echoed to Our Lord Jesus Christ’s word, and the lips were opened to show forth his praise.
5. "By whom do your sons cast them out? Some of your own kindred, as Jews, nay, and some of your own followers, as Pharisees, have undertaken, in the name of the God of Israel, to cast out devils, and they were never charged with such a hellish combination as I am charged with.’’ It is gross hypocrisy to condemn that in those who reprove us which yet we allow in those that flatter us.
6. Where secret haunts of sin are kept up, under the cloak of a visible profession, conscience is debauched, God is provoked to withdraw his restraining grace, and the close hypocrite commonly proves an open apostate, The last state of such is worse than the first, in respect both of sin and punishment. Apostates are usually the worst of men, the most vain and profligate, the most bold and daring; their consciences are seared, and their sins of all others the most aggravated
7. .Though it is a great privilege to hear the word of God, yet those only are truly blessed, that is, blessed of the Lord, that hear it and keep it, that keep it in memory, and keep to it as their way and rule.
8. A promise that yet there should be one sign more given them, different from any that had yet been given them, even the sign of Jonas the prophet, which in St. Matthew is explained as meaning the resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ
9. If this eye of the soul be single, if it see clear, see things as they are, and judge impartially concerning them, if it aim at truth only, and seek it for its own sake, and have not any sinister by—looks and intentions, the whole body, that is, the whole soul, is full of light, it receives and entertains the gospel, which will bring along with it into the soul both knowledge and joy
10. .Then we can with comfort enjoy the gifts of God’s bounty ourselves when we send portions to them for whom nothing is prepared. Job ate not his morsel alone, but the fatherless ate thereof, and so it was clean to him; clean, that is, permitted and allowed to be used, and then only can it be used comfortably. What we have is not our own, unless God have his dues out of it; and it is by liberality to the poor that we clear up to ourselves our liberty to make use of our creature-comforts.
