TEXT MARK 2:3-13
THE EXPLOITS OF FAITH.
[3]And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
[4]And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
[5]When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
[6]But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
[7]Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
[8]And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
[9]Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
[10]But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
[11]I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
[12]And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
Faith is a spiritual force that is capable of changing whatever situation a person is going through or finds himself in.
Faith is the believer's last card in the battles of life.
It is what the elders used to obtain a good report in all their endeavours.
It has never failed.
The friends of the sick man had a last chance to save their friend.
They demonstrated their faith by breaking the roof of the house where Jesus was teaching a group of people.
Jesus seeing their faith, healed their friend.
Jesus said, if thou cans't believe, all things are possible to he who believes.
Do you believe?
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
