Week 3 of Atomic Faith challenges us to squad up!
🔑 Scripture: Mark 2:1-5 (ESV)
And when he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. 2 And many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even at the door. And he was preaching the word to them. 3 And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. 4 And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. 5 And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
After reading that scripture who stands out to you. Each person is significant but who is highlighted in this message are the squad. Who you surround yourself with can lead to freedom or demise.
“… remaining part of a group after achieving a goal is crucial to maintaining your habits. It’s friendship and community that embed a new identity and help behaviors last over the long run.”
― James Clear, Atomic Habits:
Here are some powerful takeaways from #SquadGoals in Atomic Faith
While you may have great faith as an individual, there are levels of deliverance and destiny you will never receive until you incorporate your faith with others.
In your squad you want to have people who are
🔑Information sources
Someone had to receive the report of Jesus’ whereabouts. We need people in our lives that are informed beyond their own bias, that we may be instructed in what direction to go and which decisions to make.
🔑Burden bearers
Because the individual in the text was paralyzed, he could not get to Jesus i.e. the place of healing and wholeness without the assistance of others. To get to the place of wholeness we must have loved ones in place that are willing to hold us.
🔑 Capacity builders
The removal of the roof was an act of capacity building. It is imperative that our circle includes individuals that can see opportunities amid limitations.
🔑Creative thinkers
You got to have someone that just sees things different. They think beyond what is and see what can be.
The healing that Jesus produced in this text was a derivative up their incorporated faith.
Some of us have been paralyzed by our sin, but this text is proof that you can be healed by your company.
You definitely want to have all of the above in your squad but you also want to be the individual that can be that to someone else.
The ultimate goal it so help somebody get to Jesus!
