(John 5)KJV.
The Healing at the Pool
5 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 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?
7 The impotent man answered him, 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.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
Note: This day was a day of rest, relief, and joy for this man!
This man had been watching people get healed, he'd been asking "when is it going to be my time, to get put into the pool? This man had been in his infirmity for thirty eight years. He'd been trying to do it his way. When the answer was right in front of him, the whole time.
This man reminds me of us, in today's world. We pray and ask God to help us, we ask God to fix things in our lives, we say we believe that he's going to do it in his time and season, but we try and make God do it the way we think it should be done. Instead of accepting, and receiving the way He does it. We must stop limiting God, and accept however he doesn't. We must stop putting limitations on God. His way of thinking is not our way.
We must surrender our way to God's way, and step into the healing pool, while the angel is troubling the water, in your season. We must realize that God's way is better than our ways. We can't hold on to an idea in our heads, of how God should do it for us. God wants to do it, so he can get the glory. He doesn't want man to get any glory. Let go, and let God. Let God do it His way, and stop trying to make him do it your way.
The Prayer Of Salvation:
Dear Lord Jesus, I ask for your forgiveness of my sins, known, unknown, thought, deed, and word. I believe You died & rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I accept You as my Lord & Savior.
(Romans 10:13)NIV
Everyone who
calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
(Romans 10:9)NIV
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
(Acts 2: 38-39)NASB
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
