Tanglible Faith

Mark 2:1-12

Jesus returned to Capernaum, and preached there. Nung nalaman ng mga tao na andun xa, the word spread. And many came.“Insomuch that there was no room to receive them”“No, not so much as about the door: “There were so many people came to see Him.Some wanted to hear His preaching, some just wanted to see Him, and some wanted to be healed.

As I was reading this passage, Pumasok sa isip ko, na, Noong pinagusapan nila si Jesus, lahat sila gusto Makita si Jesus, But, now when we hear people sharing the Word of God, iwas ng bongga, ung iba naman, ignore mode. But, some would stop by and listen.

In reality mga kapatid, there will always be critics. There will be always that someone who will be unsatisfied with everything,Pero alm ko, hindi ito hadlang sa mga tunay na anak ng Diyos, for we are not here to please man, We are here to please God, we are here to Worship and praise and give Him thanks for all the things that He has done in our lives.

So God preach to them, and at dumating ung tao na paralyzed.Sabi sa Bible, is “Sick of Palsy” He was carried by for men

When the four men saw the great multitude, their faith was not falter,Hindi sila pinanghinaan ng loob,

Kung sa atin mga kapatid, makakita lng tayo ng mahabang pila sa supermarket, mahabang pila sa pag papa biometrics. Or pag kuha or pag buli ng kung ano, Sasabhin natin, “hayyyy,” parang ayaw ko na pumila,”

Kung tayo ang nandun, and we have someone who was in need of a healing, ano ang gagawin natin, pag Makita natin na hindi tayo makapasok sa dami ng tao, ni hindi tayo makalapit,

But this did not stop the four men, Bumutas sila sa bubong, at doon binaba ung paralytic man.

Now in verse 5, is says, “When Jesus SAW their faith”

“Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.”

Tanglible - easily seen or recognized; able to be touched or felt

When God sees your faith, signs show up, wonders begins to be unveiled, and miracles start to happen.

Once Jesus sees you Faith, Healing takes place, Deliverance takes place, Blessings take place,

Works does not produce Faith but, Faith produces Work

ang paggawa ay hindi nagbibigay pananampalataya,pero ang pananampalataya tutulungan kang gumawa,

If you want your Faith to be seen by God,You have to work for it,Show Him that you really want itLet Him feel that you really believe it

We cannot manufacture, create faith, because if we do, we can be our own saviorIt is only God who can give us faith, and it is up to us, to let the faith grow or get smaller.Hebrews 12:2 says: Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith.

God gives you faith, and if He sees your Faith, Kung Makita nya ito, maramdaman nya ito, then He will finish it for you!

Notice one thing here, The people were expecting a miracle, healing

But Jesus said,

“Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.”

Then there were people who murmured, starts to question God

“Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?”

“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? 9Whether 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? “

“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,) 11I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.”

In this verse or scenario, if we think on these things, God simply wants us to realize, That in order for Him to heal us, to bless us, to deliver us, first He must take away the sin first.

We must stop the sin in our lives,We must take away the strongholds the devil has placed in our livesWe must stay strong, And never lose HopeFor we have I God, who is the God of the Impossible who can make anything possible.

We must Hold on to our Faith our Saving Faith, For the Lord Jesus is Coming SoonHold it tight, and not let anything take it away from you

Let us not be ignorant of the things of this world, Im not saying that we are ignorant,What I want to say is that, we must not ignore the things got has commanded us to do,We must not ignore the signs, For He is coming Soon.

The Bible says, “He that endureth to the end shall be saved”This talks about your Faith in God

Barber illustration.

If you let them do their thing from the start, it will be difficult for us to undo what they have done.

Kaya sa umpisa pa lng, God must be in control of your lives, not the World, But God

Here is one Good point.

The four men who brought the paralytic to Jesus.

In verse 5, the phrase “When Jesus saw their faith” was addressed to the four men who brought the paralytic man.

Through their faith, the paralytic man was healed,

Hindi kaya pumunta ng paralytic man kay Jesus ng magisa.

It was through the Help of the four men,

Let me give you another scenario in the Bible

In Genesis, 19,I was the because of Abraham’s appeal with God, for Lot to be saved, from the wrath that is coming to Sodom and Gomorrah

It was the Faith of Abraham, that Lot was able to escape the wrath of God

We must never stop praying for our love ones that are not yet in Christ,

I will end here,

Have faith in God, And never falter.And God will answer your prayer in His Time, And when He does,

 11I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.12And 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.
