3. Make Room for JesusMark 2:1-8 It happened when Jesus was in the house. Revelation 3:20, a church without the presence of God. …Must hear and open We need to manage our image. The need to invite Him here and open the door. When God is here the house will be full.

4. Overcome Your ParalysisMark 2:3 Lame man didn’t have a defeatist attitude. Is. 35:6 Perhaps some of us are paralyzed by a condemning past, chronic fears, habitual sins. How to overcome.

6. Refuse To Be DeniedMark 2:4 The 5 men did not turn back. So don’t give up! Jesus wants persistence! Luke 18:1-ff Be inconvenient and receive a blessing. V.5 Jesus saw their faith and healed him!

7. Remove the Lid of Human Limitation! V.4 We may have our limitations. Our limitations like the roof stood in the way. But God through faith makes breakthroughs!

With God all things are possible if it’s according to His will. Mt. 19:26; 1 Jn. 5:14
