Bible Lesson: Miracles Of Jesus; Blind And Dumb Demoniac Healed.

Bible Lesson: Miracles Of Jesus; Blind And Dumb Demoniac Healed.

Bible Location: Capernaum.

Bible Text: Matthew 12:22,23 KJV (Luke 11:14)
22 Then was brought unto Him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and He healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?


Matthew 12:22
Then was brought unto Him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb:..

Dear friend, you and I have an enemy. Whether a man is saved and on his way to heaven or not, he has an enemy! Hear it and remember it, Satan has “no,” friends, regardless of what some may claim! Satan is on his way to eternal fiery judgment!

I Peter 5:7 KJV
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Our Saviour plainly taught us, that there is a way we can tell what a kind of person is before us!

Matthew 7:20 KJV
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

An apple, doesn't come from an lemon tree, nor a peach from a orange tree.
The fruit, itself, tells us what kind of a tree it came from!
So if we know the fruit, we know the tree (its source.)

Here brought to the Saviour was a man who was both, blind and mute.

Was this a work of God?
First we must ask ourselves, what kind of fruit was it?
The category of fruit, would by all, be labeled, evil, for a man has eyes to see, and is given a tongue to speak. Not to be able to do so, is bondage, and a curse, certainly not a blessing!

Evil fruit, comes from an evil tree, and in this case an evil one.

John 10:10,11 KJV
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the Good Shepherd: the Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.

The works of the enemy are ways of destruction, for both body and soul. As often has been said on these pages, Satan, hates mankind, with a fiery hatred, and why? Satan hates mankind, because when he looks upon humanity, he sees God, for man was created in the image of God, and God has both judged and sentenced him to the eternal lake of fire, so he hates God, and man.

Satan, binds men, giving them tremendous burdens, all while oppressing them, and putting yokes of bondage on them.

Luke 4:16-21 KJV (Isaiah 58:6)
16 And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and, as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto Him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And He closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on Him.
21 And He began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.


Matthew 12:22 KJV
“...and He healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.”

What was the fruit?
Deliverance, freedom, healing, etc.
And what of the tree? Certainly the Tree was one of righteousness, and goodness!
This is the Lord Jesus Christ, who has come to deliver us from the bondage of the enemy!

In every church, there should be prayers of faith, to see the bound of the enemy, delivered and set free! If your church doesn't have such prayers, may one go to his Pastor, and humbly with prayer, ask that such opportunity be given.

Our Lord's great commission to His followers, everywhere and to all afar off!

Mark 16:15-18 KJV
15 And then He told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.
16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.
17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in My name, and they will speak in new languages.
18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them.

(Interpretation:
Oh how the enemy of the cross, like to destroy the great commission, due to this verse!
Would our dear Saviour ever encourage such activity? Absolutely not!

Matthew 4:5-7 KJV
5 Then the devil taketh Him up into the holy city, and setteth Him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto Him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give His angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Our Saviour "never," did miraculous deeds as works of show!
To what then does this scripture refer?

Acts 28:1-6 (The Apostle Paul on his way to Rome, was shipwrecked.)
1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
2 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

This was not something that The Apostle sought, but that he came upon. And this is the truth of this verse, if calamity should come upon the messenger of God, God will keep him!

Luke 10:19 KJV
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Romans 8:35,37 KJV
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.)

They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”


Acts 2:39 KJV (Christ's promise of His Spirit of power, given to His People.)
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.


Matthew 12:23 KJV
And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

The people wished to believe that Jesus was the Messiah, of whom the Prophets had spoke.
To eradicate such wishful thinking, the ever present, Pharisees, said Jesus had performed the miracle by the power of the devil.


Matthew 12:24 KJV
But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

Certainly as our Saviour told us, wherever the work of God is, there the enemy comes to snatch away the seed that has been planted.

Matthew 13:19 KJV
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

To the believing child of God, belongs the victory:

Psalm 44:5 KJV
Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

I John 5:4,5 KJV
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
