Stop waiting.

“Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.” John 5:2-3(KJV)

From our opening scripture, you will notice that the great multitude of sick people were waiting for the moving of the water to receive their healing.

In the same way today, a lot of sick people are also waiting for the moving of the water to be healed. In other words, they are waiting for the gifts of the Spirit to be in demonstration, while some are waiting for a miracle crusade before they can receive their healing, etc.

I want you to know that there is nothing wrong with waiting for the moving of the water, but I want you to learn something more today.

In John 5:5-6, the Bible says, “And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?” This was a sick man, but before he asked Jesus to heal him, Jesus asked him, “Wilt thou be made whole?”

That is the same question Jesus is asking every sick person today. This is because Jesus is always willing to heal, because God is always willing to heal. But in John 5:7 the man didn't say yes, but instead started complaining saying, “…Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.” 

Jesus so full of compassion, ignored His complains and said to the paralyzed man in John 5:8-9, “… Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked:…”


Therefore, I want you to know that you do not have to wait for a miracle crusade to receive your healing, but if you would only take God at His Word today, you shall be made completely whole in Jesus Name.
