The MESSAGE:
We move forward in our series on great faith. Today, we will examine another kind of faith - the faith that never gives up or stubborn faith. Four friends bring their paralytic friend to Jesus in hopes of getting healing.
On getting to the house where Jesus is, the crowd is so large that there is no room for them to go through. These guys refuse to be discouraged. They proceed to open the roof of the house and lower their friend right at the feet of Jesus. Now, Jesus just has to notice them. There's a great lesson here: you have to keep knocking on heaven's door until you are noticed and given an answer. Do not be discouraged by the fact that others are getting speedy answers while there seems to be no way for you. It might just be that you need to take a radical step of faith like opening the roof, or making a vow like Hannah did (1 Samuel 1:11).
The first statement Jesus made to the man was, "Son, thy sins be forgiven thee" (v. 5). Could his sins have placed him in that situation? Beloved, sin can hinder the effectiveness of your faith. You need to repent and confess before you actually move God with your faith.
Jesus went ahead to heal the man, not minding the dissenting scribes.
Beloved, God can do all things when we have faith in Him. Learn from this story of the paralytic and his friends. Surround yourself with the right company, people who will build your faith and lead you to Jesus, not people who will discourage you and suggest ungodly solutions. You yourself should learn to have radical faith, the kind of faith that holds on to God, saying, "If you don't bless me, you're not going anywhere." May your faith be strengthened for uncommon results, in the name of Jesus.
