"They came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men." Mark 2:3 NKJV
You say, "I don't have faith to be healed." Then find some prayer partners with faith. "Then they cane to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried by four men. And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the rood 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, 'I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.' Immediately he arose, took up his bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying. 'We never saw anything like this!'" (vv. 3-5, 10-12 NKJV). Notice two important phrases in this story. First, "when they had broken through." Second, "When Jesus saw their faith,He said to the paralytic." If you don't have faith to be healed, look for those who can carry you into the presence of Jesus in prayer, believe God for you, and who can "pray through" until God answers. This paralyzed man needed your friends with faith--you only need two. Jesus said, "If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven" (Mt 18:19 NKJV). This raises some important questions. How often do you pray? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Only when you have a problem you cannot solve? Are all your prayers self-focused, or do you pray for others? To have prayer partners when you need them, you must be one.
