Looking at the faith, determination, and persistence of the paralytic and his four friends who carried him to see Jesus Christ is encouraging. It reminds me to press past my obstacles to get the breakthrough that I desire and not give up. 

If you, or I, give up in going after what we seek, we must not have wanted it bad enough. 

This episode addresses just that by causing us to ask of ourselves - 

"How bad do I want it?"

My daughter in law raised a question, on her social media platform, that I happened to see early one Sunday morning. She asked, 

"Why did Jesus need to be born into the world?" and "How can you be from a bloodline if you created it?" 

Her question now reminds me of a question Jesus asked the religious leaders, as found in Matthew 21:41-46. 

This podcast contains my response to my daughter in law. 

Jesus birth into this world instead of just coming down to the earth was all necessary and conducive to our being set completely free in every area of our lives. It was all necessary.

If you have not listened to Part One, you are definitely going to want to go back and glean from Part One of our discussion of Matthew 10:1 regarding the power that King Jesus gave to His disciples. 

Part One deals with the power that King Jesus gave to His disciples to cast out unclean spirits. 
Part Two deals with the power that King Jesus gave to His disciples to heal ALL sicknesses and ALL diseases. 

There is a difference between sicknesses and diseases.
Knowing what that difference is matters when it comes to healing.

People are always talking. They always got something to say. 

What are they saying about you?

It is normal to want to know what people are saying about you. 
Even Jesus Christ wanted to know, and so He asked, 

"Who do people say that I am?" 

So is this something that we need to give consideration to? 
Well, let's take a minute to look at this, not for the sake of paying attention to gossip, but because character matters.
