FAITH CAPSULE: The man with withered hand at the great and effective open door. 

Luke 6:1-19

With God on your side, an enemy cannot be more powerful.
At every avenue to a miracle breakthrough, adversaries will want to deny and derail one from possessing a miracle.
Apostle Paul testifies in 1 Corinthians 16:9, “For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.”
An adversary is a force or one that opposes or attacks. 
An adversary is an enemy that wants no good to have a place in the life of no one. 
However, one thing is, one that is living for God, the enemy cannot be more powerful. 
The Bible records how adversaries attempted to deny a man with the withered hand at his point of miracle encounter, his restoration breakthrough. 
The book of Luke 6:6  states, “Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered.”
The man with the withered hand came across Jesus, but it was a Sabbath day when the Pharisees wanted to put Jesus to the test. 
The Pharisees wanted to find a charge against Jesus for healing the man with the withered hand. 
The man with the withered hand in the presence of Jesus had approached the open door as 1 Corinthians 16:9 confirms, “For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.”.
The withered man at the great and effective open door, the Pharisees were the adversary. 
In your open door to deliverance or breakthrough, is there any adversary in place attempting to deny you your deliverance? 
The man with the withered hand needed a breakthrough from the state of lack to a state of abundance, and mockery to miracle adversaries was in place for the miracle of the withered man to fail.
To be withered is not complete, but Jesus, the Restorer of the lost, changed the story of withered to healed man by making him whole. Jesus, the Restorer of all, ignored the adversaries.
Luke 6:10-11 records, “When He had looked around at them all, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other. But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.”  
In your life, what do you need to stretch out from? 
Before the withered man received his healing, the Bible records that Jesus said to him, “…Arise and stand here…” (Luke 6:8) 
The man with the withered hand answered Jesus without evidence or demonstration of doubt. 
He rose and gained wholeness of his hand. 
By the miracle of the withered man, Luke 6:11 records that the adversary “…Were filed with rage…” 
Are you willing to take a stand according to Jesus’ word and have your adversaries embrace their shame and disappointment? 
Stand for Jesus; receive your miracle, and have your adversaries become grounded and not rise again.     

Prayer for today: Ask God to frustrate all your adversaries.
