How It All Works

In the previous chapter I gave you an example of how I used the four prerequisites for success to bring about the manifestation of a miracle in my life. Now I want to show you an example in God's Word of some New Testament men who used those same prerequisites to bring about the manifestation of a miracle.

We read in Luke 5:17-20:

And it came to pass on a certain day, as he (Jesus) was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.

And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.

And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.

And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.

It is evident that these men had heard about the ministry of Jesus, and that what they had heard created faith on the inside of them. These men believed that if they could get their friend into the presence of Jesus, he would be healed. But just knowing that was not enough. Many people know that God blesses, but they must make a decision to be blessed. They have to make a decision to be healed.

Perhaps the following took place: The two men were standing around talking about the ministry of Jesus when one said, "Did you see all those miracles that Jesus performed? Did you see Him cast out those evil spirits from those people who were possessed? Did you see the blind receive their sight and the deaf hear?" As they talked about the miracles of Jesus, they decided that their friend could be healed, too.

Decision

As they talked, the thought came to them, "If we can get our friend to that meeting, he could get healed of the palsy!" But just thinking about what could happen wasn't enough. They could have sat around all day talking about what could happen, but to no avail. For the condition to change, they had to make a decision to do something about it, so they went to the man's house.

He was lying on the couch, shaking uncontrollably because of the palsy. One of his friends said: "It won't be long now until you'll be whole. We're going to take you to Jesus and He will make you whole."

Their decision was made.

Determination

The two friends were determined to carry out their decision.

The sick man said, "Traveling to see Jesus would be a long trip and you would have to carry me. I don't think I am up to making such a journey."

His friends immediately responded, "We will get you there. Don't worry about anything.
