Breaking Barriers: Faith in Jesus' Unlimited Power

Jesus entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that Jesus was in the house. And yesterday we found out that when Jesus is in the house, what miracles are in the house and Jesus is here today. So where are the miracles right here right now? Who brought Jesus? You did. I did. So because we are here, Jesus is here. Miracles are happening right now. You better believe it and receive it. [00:03:09]

And when they could not come near him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where he was. So when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, son, your sins are forgiven you. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And then, of course, remember the naysayers, the doubters, the ones who are there just to trap Jesus, the scribes, the Pharisees. [00:04:56]

It cannot stop the word of God from producing. It cannot stop the word of God from manifesting. And as soon as Jesus spoke those words, the naysayers, the detractors, the people who are satanically inspired. Already mumbling and grumbling. Why does this man speak blasphemies like this? Verse seven, who can forgive sins, but God alone, but immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they reasoned thus within themselves, he said to them, why do you reason about these things in your heart? [00:06:39]

A ceiling is a barrier, a ceiling is an obstacle, a ceiling is a limitation and we are here to break ceilings hallelujah a ceiling says you can't right who remembers that a ceiling says you don't have what it takes you're too old you're too young you're too poor you're too sick right you're a woman women can't do it i love that skit hallelujah did you see that skit about prophetess deborah that deborah woman did you see her huh you're a woman you can't who said i'm a woman who said i can't hallelujah [00:09:55]

The purpose of every barrier of satan is to prevent you from experiencing every benefit of christ the purpose of every barrier of satan is somebody writing this down in the house that's the purpose every barrier every limit every barrier of satan the purpose is to prevent you from experiencing every benefit of christ all the things that we are seeing all the things standing in our way but what you see all these barriers that satan and puts you can't do it you are too old you are too poor it's too late you're in the wrong country you're the wrong gender and you don't have what it takes [00:13:10]

They heard that there is somebody. There's this new teacher. There's this new rabbi. He's been going from town to town and village to village. He does healing miracles. And now he's in Capernaum. In fact, we have located. He's in Peter's house. That was Peter's house, by the way. That is the same house where Jesus healed Peter's mother -in -law. And you can still find that house today if you go to that part of the world because it's been identified and a church was built on the spot. [00:17:11]

Then you've got to what? Believe it. They heard that Jesus is a healer. They heard that Jesus is in the house. They got a vision that, wow, if the healer is in town, if the healer is at such and such an address, then surely there's an opportunity for us. Surely there's an opportunity for our friend. So they heard it, they saw it, and what did they do? They took it by force. You've got to see it. You've got to believe it. You've got to take it by force, and then you will receive it. [00:18:08]

If all you see is I am paralyzed. Paralyzed by poverty. Paralyzed. Paralyzed by dollar exchange rate. Paralyzed by my family background. Paralyzed by my village where I came from. Paralyzed because I'm only a woman. If all that's all what you see, that's where you stay. But Jesus said, get a vision. Talk to your neighbor and say, get a vision. Tell them they're not awake. If they're asleep, shake them. Shake them. Wake them up. Get a vision. [00:25:46]

When you see more you will become more and you will receive more when you see more you will become more and then you will actually receive more in your life let's look at genesis 15. oh i'm already excited i don't know about you god is getting something across to his people today because it's many of us go to conferences they're fantastic conferences when they i did i told you yesterday this is my first time in the city of warrior and i'm having a good time it's a great place to be [00:26:23]

Jesus who Jesus is on the other side and you've got to see what's on the other side of your ceiling my next point is Jesus saw their faith Jesus saw their faith you know when somebody gets a vision like my grandmother it changes the destiny of a family that family our family was forever changed so many doctors so many lawyers pharmacists business people accountants all over the world all from that woman who had a vision and you think you're nothing yeah Jesus saw their faith is my next point [00:39:32]

By your actions, what's going to happen? Your faith will be revealed. Jesus is watching you. In case you don't know, some of you are not aware. Jesus is watching you. Jesus sees your faith. And you need to prepare for greatness. I said you need to prepare for greatness. In that skit, what was Deborah doing? Deborah, what was she doing? I want to be a warrior. I'm not limited by being a woman. She was training. She was preparing. She was like, my day is coming. My day is coming. [00:44:40]

Jesus is not looking for perfection. He's looking for faith. He's not looking at your mess. He's looking at your faith. That's why when he said, you know, Peter, Satan wants to deceive. You're going to deny me three things. He wants to sift you as wheat. When you are recovered, when you are restored, just keep moving, strengthen your brethren. He'd already seen the outcome.
