You can have it (if) you’re willing to stretch

You can come out and you can get what the devil said you couldn’t have, and you can do what people said you could never do. What you need is the fire power of the old saints who knew how to get a hold of the horns of the altar and persevere in prayer until the very atmosphere was pregnant with the presence of Jesus. Just say it out loud: Come on in Lord Jesus! When Jesus shows up miracles happen.
Mark 3:1-3:5 and there was a man there which had a withered hand. And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; (that they might accuse him.) Many times it’s religion itself that is the greatest hindrance to the manifest presence of Jesus. Everybody don’t have to agree with you for you to get blessed, they don’t even have to like you. When God gets ready to bless you, he’s not going to consult with others, He’s not going to ask their opinion, he’s just going to do it.
If you are hungry and thirsty for God he will come to you and he will meet you at the point of your need and he will touch you and your life will never be the same. You got to be hungry for Jesus to touch you?

Mark 3:1-3:5 The fact that this mans hand was withered, he either contracted some kind of disease or had some kind of accident. In other words: He wasn’t born that way.
Praise God for the power of the blood, the power that sets you free, the power of the blood of Jesus will heal your heart; heal your mind, to purge your conscience. Remember living in this world life infects your mind, and life is not always kind and life is not always fair (and it withered up your hand of faith) it withered up your expectation of better days. And now maybe you have quit dreaming, quit reaching, maybe quit expecting. You’ve just settled down into that’s just the way it is attitude. One of the worst things that can ever happen to you is to quit dreaming and settle down into just existing. Jesus said: The thief cometh to steal and to kill and to destroy, but I have come that you might have life and have it (more abundantly.)

Mark 3:1-3:5-- Jesus looked at this man, and he saw more than just a withered hand, he saw a withered life. He saw all his anger and frustration, he saw all his disappointments and broken dreams, he saw every time he had tried and failed.
Then Jesus said to him as he says to you today: Stretch forth thy hand.  He know it’s going to be hard, He know it’s going to take some effort, He knows you’re going to have to push past the bad experiences of the past, He knows there’s going to be some pain that you’re going to have to overcome some opposition But go ahead and stretch forth thy hand.
Child of God if you are going to go anywhere in God you are going to have to stretch, it may cause some discomfort, it may upset some people, some people may turn their backs on you, some people may lie on you, (but to walk with Jesus you have to be willing to stretch.)
Part of the stretching is separation from the crowd: Everybody can’t go where God is taking you, everybody don’t want to go where God is taking you. (The bible teaches you to follow the cloud, not the crowd) The glory of God is in the cloud not the crowd
That withered hand represents all the can’t and don’ts of life and all the opposition to your dreams and visions and desires.
When Jesus spoke those words to that man: It ignited an explosion in his spirit, and faith came alive and instantly the impossible became possible. Instantly he was able to do what everybody said he could never do. Instantly his life and past failures broke off. And instantly that which was withered, became whole and complete.

You right now can breakthrough; to break loose it’s going to take some stretching but you can do it. Your mind is being stretched, your faith is being stretched (Your going to break out of the way things usually are. See yourself right now, doing what they said you could never do.
The Holy Spirit is telling you today that the devil is a liar: and God is telling you (you can have it) you can reach it (if) you’re willing to stretch. To go to this next level you’re going to have to pray like you’ve never prayed before And Praise like you’ve never praised before and sow like you’ve never sown before.
You can have it, you can reach it (if) you’re willing to stretch. Dare to stretch and start reaching into the faith realm.
