Mark 2:2-5
2 “Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them.
3 Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men.
4 And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, "Son, your sins are forgiven you."
This story is a familiar one ,but on listening to Mark 2 (Audio version). The Holy Spirit brought to my attention “And when Jesus saw Their Faith”. Usually Jesus performed miracles based on the individuals faith (The woman with the issue of blood) but this particular scenario was different because it wasn’t just the faith of the paralytic, that got him his healing .But it included the faith of the four men that went through all the *wahala* and let down his bed through the roof. I call them, “The friends of faith.”
It makes me realize that it is important to have friends or partners who will agree in faith with you over an issue that you need a miracle for. Even if hindrances come (the crowd that prevented them from seeing Jesus) they can come up with other options, (going through the roof) and propel you into receiving your miracles.
In that same line of revelation I remember my service unit in school(Prayer Force), How we would come together on Sundays to pray for the campus issues as well as ourselves, you can bet we got a lot of answered prayers, because of “our faith”.
???????????????????????????????????
Do you have friends or relatives going through issues of life, or are you in need of a faith and prayer partner to agree with you concerning an issue. Feel free to write it in a comment below.
Don’t leave this page until you do so. Help somebody. Act like one of the four people that dropped the paralytic through the roof, and helped him access his miracle. Be a friend of faith!
