Palate Cleansing!!! 9/3/23
Philippians 4:8 (KJV)
8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Philippians 4:7 (KJV)
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Mark 5:35-43 (KJV)
35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
In the above Story recorded by Mark, (did you read it???), Jesus is called upon to heal Jairus' daughter who lay sick some distance away. While Jesus was en route to perform Jairus' requested miracle, the little girl died.....
Jesus arrived to a sad spectacle of grieving family and friends and oddly declares:
“THE DAMSEL IS NOT DEAD, BUT SLEEPETH!!!”
Of course, the damsel WAS dead-Jesus was well aware of this “fact” but Jesus knew He had the Power to raise the child from the dead!!!
PLEASE note that Jesus had to “CLEAN HOUSE” of the UNBELIEF before He could do anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark 5:40 (KJV)
40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
“BUT when He had “PUT THEM ALL OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
AMEN AND AMEN- NUFF SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First off, YOU may be wondering at my title-PALATE CLEANSING:
A palate cleanser is any food or beverage served between courses to prepare diners for the next course. Palate cleansers often have neutral flavors that serve as a baseline for more complex flavors, and they’re designed to improve digestion, stimulate the appetite, or remove any lingering aftertastes. Smaller than a full dish, palate cleansers often consist of just a few mouthfuls. The right palate cleanser can help reset your sensory perception, preparing your taste buds to notice subtle flavor differences.
PLEASE take careful note of the last sentence:
The right palate cleanser can help reset your sensory perception, preparing your taste buds to notice subtle flavor differences.
DEARLY BELOVED, each of us MUST do a PALATE CLEANSING at least once daily and-AND-
PRN-ONLY WHEN NECESSARY!!!
The right palate cleanser can help reset your sensory perception, preparing your taste buds to notice subtle flavor differences.
How does the Christian do a PALATE CLEANSING?????
Psalm 119:9 (KJV)
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
At the end of MY day and as often as I can, I PERSONALLY read Psalm 37-
PSALM 37 has become MY PALATE CLEANSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After being bombarded my all the negativity in MY life, Psalm 37 cleanses and refreshes my spirit!!!
Just as the Lord Jesus had to “PUT THEM ALL OUT” we too MUST put THEM all out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TODAY may WE begin to regularly do PALATE CLEANSING!!!
AMEN AND AMEN!!!
