This powerful message confronts a truth many of us need to hear: we're not just dealing with difficult circumstances or bad situations—we're dealing with a thief. The enemy has been stealing our joy, our health, our hope, and our resources, often while we've unknowingly given him access through unforgiveness, unrepented sin, and the darkness we've allowed to linger. Drawing from Jesus' encounters with those who desperately reached for Him—like the woman with the issue of blood who touched His garment—we're reminded that even when it seems Jesus is on His way somewhere else, we can still reach out and receive our miracle. The sermon challenges us to identify the lies we've been believing, to kick out the thief who has taken up residence in our thoughts and lives, and to instead give access to God. Through stories like Naaman dipping seven times in the Jordan and the paralyzed man lowered through the roof, we see that God sometimes works in ways that challenge our expectations and pride, but the miracle is always worth the obedience. This isn't about waiting for something great to happen to us—it's about recognizing that something greater is already here, already within us through the Holy Spirit, ready to be released as we align ourselves with God's ways.
