How did Jesus bring about change. There are several healing miracles in Luke 4 but all show us how Jesus demonstarted and taught us to bring about the change we need.

In this first encounter we have a man who was lame for a very long time and seemed to be seeking divine healing. We will look at what this man was under to keep him lame, how he got out from it, and what may have happened after he was healed.

This story will teach us three main things: How to get what you need, what is keeping you from it, and what may cause you to lose your healing after you obtained it.

Did Jesus teach us to continually ask in prayer until we get an answer and receive what we ask for? In Luke 18 we take on our final parable in this series with the widow who came to the judge and wouldn’t back stop asking until she received what she asked for. Jesus taught that parable “that men always ought to pray and not lose heart” (Luke 18:1) So where and how does persistence fit in with our prayers and why does Jesus end this parable with “Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

Why would God put so many resources in leaders, money, and material to build a wall around Jerusalem if He really didn’t need such a natural barrier to protect it? Tonight we see the answer to this question and also see a change in how Nehemiah pursues the call of God from his beginning in chapter 1 of copying what worked for others. He inspires the people who become accustomed to a status quo to rise up and change it.

There is so much we get to cover in these remaining verses of Nehemiah 2 (verses 11-20); much more than I can post here! Some include what should you share with other people about what God has put in your spirit to do? How do you go about getting started?

Are we taught by Jesus parable to keep pestering or asking God for what we need until He finally comes around and grants us our prayer? Well a wrong understanding of scripture will lead to a wrong application and will find us following after wrong teaching. As we look at the the friend who comes at midnight to ask bread we will look to see what is Jesus teaching us to do in prayer.
