Four Friends

Mark 2: 1-5 

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man

2 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

Men, do you realize what this means? 

This means that when YOUR faith is failing, YOUR spirit is broken, YOUR heart is crushed, YOUR strength gone, YOUR soul shattered, when there is not one more ounce of energy that YOU can give, that there is more than hope waiting for you!

I know that the crushed and broken man is right now saying "how can this be? There is NO hope in this situation! I have prayed and begged, fasted and pled, read scripture and humbled myself and the situation has only gotten worse! I am worn out, spent, wasted....hopeless...Its all I can do to get up and go to work. What hope waits on me? My faith fails me. My prayers are fruitless. I am alone. I cant go on.!"

But there is HOPE! You have heard that YOUR faith will bring blessings. But what happens when your faith fails? What can God do for those who dont believe the He can or will help? What WILL He do for those that have lost hope that He can or will help? 

Maybe nothing for them...BUT He WILL answer the prayer of men who are faithful. 

Men who have been thru the fire and seen the fourth man walking in the flames. 

Men that know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God can and WILL heal a marriage. 

Men who's faith is rock solid. 

Men that KNOW that if they bring you to the feet of Jesus that He WILL heal you.

Men that will let nothing stop them from getting you to Jesus's feet. 

Men that will carry you over walls and onto roofs.

Men that will take the time to shed blood and sweat to break thru any barrier that keeps you from getting to Jesus's feet.

Men that will do all this thru prayer and fasting for you and your wife. 

Men who KNOW that God NEVER agrees to divorce.

Men that will not give up, shut up or back up when it comes to getting you to the feet of Jesus.

These are the men YOU need to seek out. 

Ask God to find these men and bring them to you or you to them.

Find these four friends and let THEM bear the burden when you cant carry it anymore. 

Let them wipe away your tears.

Let them hold you up when you cant stand.

Let THEIR faith that God will heal your marriage be so great that Jesus will say "the faith of your friends has healed your marriage!"

"Great and mighty Lord, please have Godly men come into my life today. Men of unshakable faith that will daily bring me to the feet of Jesus aksing and expectinig that YOU are going to heal my marriage. Men who's faith stand firmly upon the promises of God to aks and it shall be given. Men who will overcome any obstical in their path as they carry me thru to find healiing at your feet. Men who will pick me up and bring me to your feet when I cannot do it myslef."

There it is men! Aks it, find them, pray with them, find a restored marriage...Its that simple!
