What if the only thing standing between you and your miracle… is movement?
Not a lack of faith.
Not your past.
Not your circumstances.
But simply this: you haven’t moved yet.
We talk a lot about waiting on God. But what if—just maybe—He’s been waiting on us?
We’ve All Got Boxes We Don’t Want to Pack
Let’s be honest. Most of us love the idea of change. The glow-up. The answered prayer. The fresh start.
But the process? That’s a different story.
We love the thought of moving… until it’s time to pack the boxes.
Have you ever started a project and immediately regretted it? Maybe it’s downsizing your house. Or rearranging furniture. Or even starting a new habit like working out. You want the results, but you don’t want to sweat.
You look at your life and know something needs to shift. But then you think:
- Where do I even start?
- What do I keep? What do I let go of?
- What if I start and it doesn’t work?
And so, we stay stuck. Standing in the hallway of a blessing, we’re too tired—or too scared—to unpack.
But here’s the hard truth: God doesn’t move your miracle. God moves you.
Miracles Don’t Have Legs—But Faith Does
There’s a story in Luke 5 that wrecks me every time. A man who couldn’t walk. Totally paralyzed. Couldn’t get to Jesus on his own. So, four of his friends decided they weren’t leaving him behind.
Can you imagine?
Four dudes carrying their friend across town. Getting to the house where Jesus is… only to find it packed. No standing room. No elbow space. No way in.
Most of us would’ve quit.
But not them.
They looked at that full house and thought: we’ll take the roof.
And they did. They climbed up, tore it open, and lowered their friend down like a holy construction crew on a mission.
And Jesus? He was moved—not by the man’s need—but by his friends’ faith.
Who Are You Carrying?
Let me ask you something: who are your roof-climbing, box-packing, miracle-carrying friends?
Who’s willing to get sweaty for your healing?
And maybe more importantly… who are you showing up for?
Because sometimes, God’s waiting on us to carry them—before He’ll move us.
There are people all around us—hurting, isolated, confused—paralyzed by fear, addiction, trauma, or shame. And we might be the only “friends” with faith who can get them to Jesus.
Let’s not be the crowd that blocks the door. Let’s be the ones who tear off the roof.
Start the Conversation (Even if it’s Awkward)
We get in our heads.
“What if they say no?”
“What if it’s weird?”
“What if I don’t know enough?”
Okay—but what if God saves them?
What if the healing they’ve prayed for comes through your invite?
That grocery store cashier. The parent on your kid’s soccer team. Your coworker who seems fine but might be falling apart inside.
Ask them how they’re doing. Really.
Then, ask if they’ve got a place to sit this Easter. Tell them Faith Church is their place.
No script. No performance.
Just real people carrying other real people to a real Jesus.
Maybe It’s You Who Needs Carrying
And maybe you’re reading this thinking: That all sounds great… but I’m the paralyzed one.
Lean in and listen to this closely.
You don’t have to move alone.
You don’t have to fake it till you make it.
You don’t have to have your life together to show up.
If you’ve been crawling your way through this season, if you’ve felt left out, pushed aside, or flat-out exhausted—this is your reminder:
Your miracle is still moving.
And it’s still moving toward you.
Jesus hasn’t forgotten you. He’s not waiting for your performance. He’s waiting for your permission to move in your life.
The Miracle Might Not Look Like You Think
I love how the story in Luke 5 plays out. The friends lower the man, expecting healing. But Jesus starts with something else:
“Your sins are forgiven.”
Like… what?
Imagine being the friends like, “Hold up—thank you, Jesus, but we came here for a leg miracle, not a soul cleanse.”
But see, Jesus doesn’t just heal the obvious wounds. He goes deeper.
The emotional wounds.
The invisible scars.
The stuff we don’t even talk about.
Before He touches what, we think we need, He fixes what we don’t even know is broken.
You’re Part of Someone Else’s Miracle
One of the most beautiful stories from our congregation is about a lady who, for six years, came to church and left as fast as possible. Sat on the edge of the row near the exit. Didn’t want to talk. Didn’t want to be seen.
She was hurting.
But then one day… someone talked to her.
And it changed everything.
Today, she’s not on the edge anymore. She’s in the center of the action—coordinating a campus, loving people, carrying mats for others.
All because someone saw her.
What if your miracle starts with noticing someone else’s pain?
This Is a Movement, Not a Moment
Miracles aren’t about magic words or perfect timing.
They’re about movement.
- The move to invite someone to church.
- The move to get out of bed and show up.
- The move to raise your hand during a prayer.
- The move to believe again after you’ve been disappointed.
What step do you need to take today?
What friend do you need to carry?
What roof do you need to climb?
Let’s stop sitting in circles talking about faith and start walking in it.
Who’s Still Outside?
Look around your life. Who’s still outside the house?
The ones who don’t know how to ask.
The ones who don’t feel worthy.
The ones we overlook because they “seem fine.”
Don’t assume they’re okay. Carry them anyway.
We don’t have to fix them.
We don’t have to have all the answers.
We just need to show up, pick up the corner of the mat, and start moving.
Because when we move—miracles move, too.
Let’s not let another week pass in silence.
Reach out.
Start a conversation.
Grab a pack of postcards at your Faith Church campus, spray your car, wear the shirt, host the group—whatever your next step is, take it.
And if you’re the one who needs a miracle?
Let us know.
We’ll carry you.
We’ll stand with you.
We’re not leaving you outside the house.
This is Faith Church.
This is your house.
And your miracle is moving.
And if you’re looking for the perfect time to take that first step, Easter at Faith Church is it—come experience the love, the energy, and the miracle God has for you.
