Mark 10:46-52

1. And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

2. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

3. And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.

4. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

5. And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

6. And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.

7. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.

Memorise
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. Matthew 21:22

Open Heaven For Teens 14 October 2022 Message

Whenever I read the story of blind Bartimaeus, I always get amused at Jesus response. It was obvious that Bartimaeus was blind; Im even sure people would have led him by the hand to Jesus, yet, the Lord asked him what he wanted. This is because it was possible for Bartimaeus to request for riches or death for his enemies.

It is true that God knows all our needs; in spite of this, He expects us to ask. Matthew 7:7 says, ask and it shall be given unto you. However, be direct when you ask. People wonder why I pray simple prayers. Well, I did not study theology, so I do not have to speak a lot of grammar before I communicate with my Father.

Besides, He is not far away, He is a Supreme Being that I enjoy holding conversations with.

Believe me my child, God wants you to talk to Him as a friend. When you are in His presence, speak to Him as though you can see Him, even while referencing Him. Speak to Him in plain terms; be direct, be detailed and dont beat about the bush. Dont try to impress Him with big grammar, He is the originator of every human language.

Action Point
Be direct when speaking to your Heavenly Father.
