Remove the Roof

“When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house. Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them. Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him. When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?’ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.” He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”” (Mark‬ ‭2:1-12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The Lord brought this miracle to my remembrance and wants to tell us to remove the roof in our minds.

Oftentimes when we are faced with challenges, we only see the impossibilities and limitations.

The paralytic’s four friends saw that the house was so crowded and that there was no way to enter through the front door. Instead of seeing this as an impossible situation, they thought out of the box and removed the roof.

Some of us need to remove the roof from some wrong doctrines that we have been taught in the past that are limiting our ability to receive from God now.

When the four friends lowered the paralytic down into the house, Jesus did not rebuke them or curse the paralytic for removing the roof. Instead, He saw their faith and healed the paralytic.

The religious scribes might have viewed removing the roof as an audacious and preposterous act, but Jesus only saw it as faith.

When you approach God today in prayer, don’t have this sense of fear, as if He will punish you if you say something wrong.

Just believe that He is like Jesus, seeing your faith as you ask Him for big things—even ‘impossible’ things. He loves it when you have faith to receive miraculous breakthroughs from Him!

“Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:20-21‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Remove the roof in your mind that limits God or makes Him appear stingy and reluctant to help you.

God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, which means that no matter how big your prayer requests (demands) are, His supply will be much more than you expect.

If He is going to keep exceeding your expectations, then set your sights high. He loves it when you have a good opinion of Him—and that is faith!

In my book “Messiah’s Miracles: The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, explore the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ with me and see God’s beautiful heart of love and Grace towards you. The revelations within about the way of faith will cause you to even receive long-awaited miraculous breakthroughs in your life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

So people have been asking me, "Why is #猫哥 called #MaoGe?" It's because:

a) he's born in the year of the cat.
b) he's very "ngiao" 猫 (stingy and miserly)
c) he has 9 lives
d) he has many cats at home
e) none of the above, and your creative answer please.

Trick question, #wronganswersonly (or maybe just the one right one). 🐱🐱🐱 #meow #ngiao #BrotherCat #TheHeartlandHero #邻里帮

Happy birthday to my little magnificent Ayla. I can’t believe you are 4. You are growing up way too fast! I think back to times when you were a little baby and how you sounded like a little dinosaur and loved “eye of the tiger”. It was the perfect song for you because now you are the most badass, sassiest & unapologetic little girl ever who is not afraid to speak her mind. You deliver so many burns (mummy why you always in Pj’s? Mummy why your face like that?) and you’re stingy with affection in your words but you give the best cuddles and so generous with them. I love playing pretend games with you. You are so imaginative to be the one poisoning me with the “apple” (a deflating balloon) and also the one to give me true loves kids to save me. You make us laugh every single day and we’re so happy to have you in our life. Keep being the best girl ever. We love you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ #happybirthday #aylang #itsbubz #bubzvlogz #4thbirthday
