The Demonstration Of Faith
The Demonstration Of Faith
17 One day many Jewish religious leaders, known as Pharisees along with many religious scholars came from every village of Galilee, throughout Judea, and even from Jerusalem to hear Jesus teach. And the power of the Lord God surged through him to instantly heal.
18 Some men came to Jesus, carrying a paraplegic man on a stretcher. They attempted to bring him in past the crowd to set him down in front of Jesus.
19 But because there were so many people crowding the door, they had no way to bring him inside. So they crawled onto the roof, dug their way through the roof tiles, and lowered the man, stretcher and all, into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus.
20 Seeing the demonstration of their faith, Jesus said to the paraplegic man, “My friend, your sins are forgiven!”
Obedience:
8 He humbled himself and became vulnerable, choosing to be revealed as a man and was obedient. He was a perfect example, even in his death—a criminal’s death by crucifixion!
8 But even though he was a wonderful Son, he learned to listen and obey through all his sufferings.
Ask Your neighbor what has suffering taught you?
2 Kings 5:10–11 (KJV)
10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
Often In This Culture we have robbed ourselves of Seeing signs and wonders because it has to be on our Terms
This Text gives plenty of room for Holy Ghost Imagination:
I have always envisioned 4 Men but it could be 2-4 men that had an idea, The news had gotten out the savior was at this church on Pershing St. and Folks where getting healed.
See when Jesus is the CENTER focus in church and the people in the Church allow the Holy Spirit to Lead and remain in control, You Don’t need Live Stream, branding marketing Nothing. Just Jesus….
So these 4 dudes had a friend that went to Hill house with, And now he’s paralyzed. And they have been trying to figure out how they going to get him to the revival. So one day they go and scoop him up and take him.
When they arrive, it’s jammed packed standing room only from the WINDOWWW to The WALLLLL
Some of us might have opted to take him home, and some of us would have done what these true blue brothers did,
They where willing to come up higher
They where willing to remove the obstacles
They where willing to be creative by making something with what that had to be able to lower him down to the room where Jesus was.
This was a demonstration of there faith: ( This is what jesus Saw)
