 The thought that I want to end everything on is the thought where Jesus Delivers this man from this paralysis and he tells him rise up He gets completely healed and when he rises up Jesus then goes on and tells him take your mat Take your mattress the one that you've been laying on for this many years source of your comfort and And I want you to take that mattress pick it up and walk Now I want you to do with me to think with me for a moment This is the man who has not walked for many many years That means that his bones are very weak His whole body is extremely Unused to walking here is Jesus who tells him not only to walk Jesus tells him pick up something heavy and Carry it almost sounds like Jesus this man is Going to crumble and collapse under the weight of mattress Jesus removes paralysis out of this man's life But he does not remove his mattress he leaves the mattress to that man and Gives that man power Over the mattress It's as though Jesus took the power from the mattress and put it into men's muscles and Says I removed the paralysis out your body But I'm not going to remove the mattress out of your life I will give you the power to carry that mattress and have dominion over that mattress There will be things God will not give us freedom over For one reason because he wants to give us a victory Freedom is what comes for free Victory is what comes when you exercise The freedom you already received to pick up what you've been laying on what has confined you And what has been the source of your comfort when you were paralyzed and God wants to not only give us freedom He also wants to teach us what it's like to walk in victory and to make us stronger as we walk in that victory And it's interesting when the moment this man picked up a mattress There came the haters And they told him this What are you doing? Are you out of your mind? Today is Saturday What is this thing that you are carrying on your shoulders? Did you know that it's illegal to do that on Saturday? And I love what that man said He said the man who took the paralysis out Told me that I can carry it and I should carry it You didn't take my paralysis out. I don't listen to you. I Want to tell you something this when you experience certain level of freedom God will steal live leave some enemies around you for you to exercise your victory as a young believer When you begin to step into that position of victory, there will be a devil right there telling you Who do you think you are? You think you can have a home group? You were smoking weed three weeks ago What you think God can use you you think you can now do this You think God can give you a blessed marriage when you had this and that and the enemy right away will tell you drop the mattress Rejoice in the fact Jesus took your paralysis and go home really quickly And that's where you have to reply to every voice that comes against you and tell him You didn't remove my paralysis and you will not tell me what I can carry and what I will not carry
