Tear the Roof Out and Get to Jesus

The message was brought forth by Prophetess LaTrice Ryan

Mark 2:1-12

¹ And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. ² many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. ³ Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. ⁴ 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.
⁵ When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
⁶ And some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, ⁷ “Why does this Man speak blasphemies like this? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
⁸ 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 hearts? ⁹ Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘ Your¹⁰ But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—He said to the paralytic, ¹¹ “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” ¹² Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, take up your bed and walk’? anything like this!
A man is paralyzed but we don't know how he became this way. It can be concluded that he had enough based on the facts given.

1 John  2:20
²⁰ But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.

We have unctions from the Holy Spirit; we know that something is getting ready to happen. You may feel this way right now.The man had heard that Jesus was coming and he was fed up. It was his last day dealing with his struggle. He had an expectation. We have to put an expiration date on that thing. The man was in a state of desperation and it caused him to do something drastic. Desperation can cause you to do things you have never done before. You are in a faith fight. The devil is trying to move you. You have to hold on to your faith and say God I trust you. If He has deliver you before He can do it again. It's no secret. Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6)

Let's look at 2 Kings 7:3

³ Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die?

The lepers had to be separated. It was announced when they were coming. People will often associate you by your condition instead of your conclusion. God can do anything with you. All God has to do is a switch. The last shall be first and the first shall be last (Matt 20:16).



You may be going through but God is about to switch. The lepers said to one another they were not going to die and were going to make a move. God just wants us to get on our feet and make a move. There are too many people waiting to hear your testimony. Failure is not an option. If you have failure in the back of your mind then you will fail. If you tell failure that there is no room for it then you won't fail. You have to get to the point where you have nothing to lose. The paralyzed man was trying to get something. He was trying to get to Jesus. You have to get to "Even if God does do it I just want Jesus" point. If you understand that if you get to the King He will give you the kingdom.

The men pushed to get to Jesus. Note that the man was paralyzed but not an amputee. He had the tools to walk but he couldn't. He just needed an encounter. That's where some of us are. We just need an encounter. God ordained us. Anyone He calls He equips. God will send the resources to you.

Write out your plan, your vision and wait for the encounter. The devil will fight you when you are close to your encounter. You can't let people mess with you. You are tempted to sin when you are close to your encounter. Paul said:


Romans 8:38 -39
³⁸ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, ³⁹ nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

You are too close. Get to Jesus. He is your rock, fortress,shield and a present help in the time of trouble (Psalm 46:1). You are almost there. Get up and move. Nothing can hold you back anymore. Your steps are ordered by God. Your present situation didn't catch God off guard. It may have caught you off guard but the storm is causing you to pray like you've never prayed before.
