ARRESTING
GRAVITATIONAL PULL
MEMORY VERSE
For a great door and
effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
1 Corinthians 16:9
READ
Acts 3:1-8
Acts 3:1 Now Peter
and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the
ninth hour.
Acts 3:2 And a
certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at
the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered
into the temple;
Acts 3:3 Who seeing
Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
Acts 3:4 And Peter,
fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
Acts 3:5 And he gave
heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
Acts 3:6 Then Peter
said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
Acts 3:7 And he took
him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle
bones received strength.
Acts 3:8 And he
leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking,
and leaping, and praising God.
MESSAGE
Flying is
the best method of motion. It is faster and usually safer than road transport.
However, before you can fly, there is a major force you must overcome: this is
the force of gravity. The force of gravity is a force that is out there to pull
down anything that goes up. Although this force operates in the physical realm,
you have a similar force operating in the spiritual realm. There are three main
areas that can pull you down spiritually as you attempt to climb up or to fly:
first is sickness and disease. Many times, people would want to get up and fly
for the Lord but sickness and disease will pull them back. In John 5:2-9, we
read of a man who was held back for 38 years. For that length of time, he was
restricted to the colony of the sick. Do you desire to fly for Jesus and to
accomplish great things for the Master, but sickness or disease is holding you
back? In the name of Jesus, that force of sickness and disease operating in
your life is broken this minute! Remember as you receive your healing, it is
for you to go and serve the Lord.
Another
force that could keep an individual from flying is poverty. The man born lame
recorded in Acts 3:1-8 was not only incapacitated by his inability to walk, but
also by poverty, hence he begged all his life for alms until the day he was
healed. It is usually the rich that mostly travel by air, most poor people
cannot afford to fly. When Pharaoh agreed to let the Israelites go, he told
them to leave their flocks and wealth behind. If you are born-again but poor, you
may not be a great threat to the devil. In fact, he will even want to
discourage you because you lack the resources to live and serve God. But if you
are saved and wealthy, the devil will be scared because he knows that you will
be able to serve God, sponsor Kingdom projects, help fellow brothers and
sisters in need and use that money to win souls to Christ. Are you financially
limited today! That yoke is destroyed today! However, pay up all your tithe and
vows to God. Sow sacrificial seed into His Kingdom, release your faith and it
shall be well with you.
PRAYER POINT
Every
spiritual gravitational pull meant to hinder my motion, Father, uproot them
today.

MARK 14 – 16.
