Sometimes what looks like a physical healing is actually a spiritual healing - spiritual healing took place first

- then he told him to take up his bed and walk

-it takes faith in God to believe for miraculous healing

- a good friend is not the same as a Godly friend.

1. a Godly friend will lift you up in prayer

Proverbs 16:28

Ephesians 4:29

2 they lower you they will tell you the truth

Proverbs 27: 6

3.they love you

proverbs 17:17

1Corinthians 13:4-7

4.they lay you before Jesus 1Corinthians 15:33 they laugh with you proverbs 18:24 and they don't forfeit your peace ask for and 12

- the people were bold they didn't hide they knew that their friend needed to be healed they didn't care who was around( there was a great crowd they saw that that's why ) they took the roof off do you have some bold Warriors in your circle?

- the people in your circle is very important because if they are faithless when you're going through difficult situations they can't ignite your faith if they're faithless your circle is important.

- service and faith are both essential the scripture tells us faith without works is dead. The church is a battleship not a cruise ship every single believer has god-given gifts
