Remove the Roof
“When he entered again into Capernaum after some days, it was heard that he was in the house. Immediately many were gathered together, so that there was no more room, not even around the door; and he spoke the word to them. Four people came, carrying a paralytic to him. When they could not come near to him for the crowd, they removed the roof where he was. When they had broken it up, they let down the mat that the paralytic was lying on. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak blasphemies like that? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason these things in your hearts? Which is easier, to tell the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?’ But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he said to the paralytic— “I tell you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.” He arose, and immediately took up the mat, and went out in front of them all; so that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, “We never saw anything like this!”” (Mark 2:1-12 WEB)
The Lord brought this miracle to my remembrance and wants to tell us to remove the roof in our minds.
Oftentimes when we are faced with challenges, we only see the impossibilities and limitations.
The paralytic’s four friends saw that the house was so crowded and that there was no way to enter through the front door. Instead of seeing this as an impossible situation, they thought out of the box and removed the roof.
Some of us need to remove the roof from some wrong doctrines that we have been taught in the past that are limiting our ability to receive from God now.
When the four friends lowered the paralytic down into the house, Jesus did not rebuke them or curse the paralytic for removing the roof. Instead, He saw their faith and healed the paralytic.
The religious scribes might have viewed removing the roof as an audacious and preposterous act, but Jesus only saw it as faith.
When you approach God today in prayer, don’t have this sense of fear, as if He will punish you if you say something wrong.
Just believe that He is like Jesus, seeing your faith as you ask Him for big things—even ‘impossible’ things. He loves it when you have faith to receive miraculous breakthroughs from Him!
“Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21 WEB)
Remove the roof in your mind that limits God or makes Him appear stingy and reluctant to help you.
God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, which means that no matter how big your prayer requests (demands) are, His supply will be much more than you expect.
If He is going to keep exceeding your expectations, then set your sights high. He loves it when you have a good opinion of Him—and that is faith!

Shining Bright in These Last Days
“But know this, that in the last days, grievous times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, not lovers of good, traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; holding a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also…
But you did follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, persecutions, and sufferings: those things that happened to me at Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. I endured those persecutions. The Lord delivered me out of them all. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you remain in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5, 10-14 WEB)
It seems that even though the world is more technologically advanced, connected, and knowledgeable than before, it has experienced a steep moral degradation in contrast to past generations. The world will only get worse.
However, we are not here to reform the world, but to cause as many who will listen to believe that Jesus is Lord and be saved. In this way, we are snatching souls out of the fire, as we await the glorious appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The more boldly you stand up for Jesus, the more persecution you will face. The world hates Jesus, and it will hate the disciples who love and follow Him.
Don’t let fear and intimidation dull your shine. There is not much time left until the church’s departure from this world. Soon, the trumpet will sound and with a shout, the Lord will cause our bodies to be transformed into glorified bodies that will never die, age, or weaken.
We should not leave this world without at least sharing the precious Gospel with the people around us. You don’t necessarily have to do it directly, but invite them to hear someone who preaches the Gospel, or give them an encouraging Christian book. Utilize the unique gifts that God has deposited in you, towards the goal of winning souls. Pray as you do these, requesting open doors for the Holy Spirit to work on their hearts.
In God’s kingdom, it seems that the martyrs and heavily persecuted ones are greatly honored and receive great rewards. “There is no love greater than this: that a man would lay down his life for his friends.” Jesus did that for us, and we can choose to do that for others, as worship unto God. Your faith, hope, and love shown for Jesus’ sake will not go unrewarded!
Find out how to identify your calling, maximize your eternal rewards, and also discover why standing before the judgment seat of Christ is nothing to be afraid of, but instead something to be excited about: http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever

My 5 lifestyle choices that – when adopted – can help protect and restore our oceans for our children and future generations.
💙DEMAND PLASTIC-FREE ALTERNATIVES
The oceans face a massive and growing threat from plastics. An estimated 17.6 billion pounds of plastic leaks into the marine environment yearly—that’s roughly equivalent to dumping a garbage truck full of plastic into our oceans EVERY MINUTE. And plastics never go away!
•bring your own coffee mug ☕️ for your daily fix
•bring your own utensils 🍴 and reusable straw
•only buy products in glass or plant based containers
💙REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
• Ride a bike, walk or use public transportation rather than driving a car.
• Turn off the lights when you leave a room.
• Put on a sweater in the winter instead of turning up your thermostat.
💙AVOID OCEAN-HARMING PRODUCTS
•Don’t support cosmetics that contain shark squalene, jewelry made of coral or sea turtle shell, souvenir shells of conchs, nautiluses and other animals, and single-use plastics like straws and water bottles that can end up in our oceans. These products support unsustainable fishing and threaten important species and ecosystems.
💙 EAT SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD
Choose seafood that is healthy for you and the oceans from well-managed, wild fisheries. We know it’s hard to know what fish are okay to eat, which is why you can turn to these helpful resources:
• Print or download a guide from Seafood Watch to help you make sustainable choices when you buy or order seafood, and learn about eco-certification of seafood.
I bought my seafood from @mncasia ,responsible seafood. They are MSC and ASC certified which mean they promote sustainability, traceability and seasonality.
💙 LEAVE NOTHING BEHIND
As beach crowds increase, so does the amount of trash left behind or blown away. Don’t let your day outside contribute to the destruction of our oceans. Remember to leave nothing behind but your footprints -- collect and dispose of your trash.
My family and I would pick up rubbish along our hikes and spent an hour at beaches to pick up trash while enjoying our day at the beach. 🏝
💙

[HOW WOULD YOU ESCAPE NORTH KOREA? (THE 7 CHOICES)]
If you were living in North Korea right now - trying to survive on a diet of rats, grass, soil and tree bark, quenching your thirst by drinking out of mud puddles in the ground - what would you do?
There's also the conceivable chance of being sent to a political prison camp for years on end just because you innocently thought out loud one day to a bunch of friends (North Korean propaganda is strong), where you are then beaten, tortured, and left so hungry that you are forced to dig and consume the grains out of faeces, or the maggots from dead bodies just so you have the energy to perhaps last one more day.
You'd probably wanna escape. But how?
The North Korean government in Pyongyang refuses to let its citizens leave, a clear violation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, viewing North Korean defectors as traitorous criminals. Captured North Koreans would be subject to unimaginable torture and often public executions.
If they are successful in their escape, then three to four generations of their family back home would be sent to North Korean prison camps to rot ....or worse. This is a strong deterrent.
But this still doesn't stop desperate North Koreans from tempting fate. In this video, I'll go over the seven ways to escape the DPRK, including the most dangerous, the most unforgiving, the most unique, and the most unexpected.
The North Korean border on the south side (ie. South Korean border / Korean DMZ) is the shortest distance to travel for safety and stability but as a result, the regime makes it dangerously hard. A North Korean escapee can be shot down by North Korean soldiers (border guards) or step on the many landmines in the area.
The northern border to China has it's own set of challenges. Most North Korean refugees escape through this way, usually crossing the Tumen River border (like the famous North Korean defector Hyeonseo Lee). Once in China, the nightmare doesn't end there.
There are also other, more unconventional ways you can try to escape such as through North Korean labor camps.
Even if you make it to safety and resettle in a stable country, the North Korean regime will still try to hunt you down, so you're never truly safe. Especially if you're an outspoken critic or a threat to Kim Jong-un's power - just ask his half brother, Kim Jong-nam.
