John 5:5-9 AMP ~ “There was a certain man there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. [6] When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well?” [7] The invalid answered, “Sir, I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am coming [to get into it myself], someone else steps down ahead of me.” [8] Jesus said to him, “Get up; pick up your pallet and walk.” [9] Immediately the man was healed and recovered his strength, and picked up his pallet and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath.”
What was this place, it was pool with five porches that held the blind, the lame and the paralyzed and they waited for the angel to stir the waters, because it was believed that at that precise moment that the water was stirred that healing was there, anyone who jumped in the water first would be immediately healed of whatever ailments and diseases that they had!
But God, one day when Jesus was walking, He walked directly to that place where the man had been for thirty-eight years. (How long have you been lying in the same place?) But God, the day that Jesus walked in change the trajectory of that man’s life forever. (Jesus can do the same thing for you!) When Jesus entered in, He went straight to that man and asked him one question, “do you want to be healed?”. (This is a question that only you can answer.)
Jesus knows just how long you have been in this place! He picked that man out of all the other sick people that was there, He picked you out from the rest! Thirty-eight years of being afflicted, meant that everyone around you knew that something was wrong with you and that you couldn’t do anything about it! Stop making excuses of why you can’t do this or that, the man’s response was, “I have no one to help me into the pool.” (Stop making excuses, when Jesus asks you a question, He already knows the answer, He just wants you to tell the truth!”) When Jesus simply told the man to get up and walk! Just plain and simple!
Now it’s your turn to obey, the choice is yours, you can remain a victim or you can become victorious. When Jesus spoke, that man didn’t have to wait for water to be stirred, He was healed at the voice of Jesus! So, today this question is for you, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the waters of religion, routines and rituals to be stirred or are you listening to the Word’s and Voice of Jesus, who are you listening too? But God! When God has a plan for you, He knows just what to do to get your attention and to show just who He is, when Jesus cured him, everyone knew that this was a divine move and miracle for healing that took place! So many times, we missed out on our blessings because we are watching, waiting and looking for someone to stir the waters! You would rather see waters rather than seek the Master Healer!
Today, right now your Healing just walked into the room where you are! He’s healing everything in you right now! You are walking out of disfunction, diseases, distractions and disappointments pick up your pallet and walk! Did you hear what I said, Jesus is in the room with you! He is already speaking a word of freedom, deliverance, healing, and salvation. His Word is available right now and there will be is a life altering encounter awaiting you when you can recognize that He’s in the room with you!
Don’t miss your moment today because when Jesus walks into the room, everything and everyone changes!

Father, I Thank You that I have a sound mind and that I can hear You speak to me clearly! Father, today I am grabbing hold of all the supernatural miracles and blessings that are coming my way. I thank You that You are moving me from glory to glory and that You are washing me over daily in Your Word! Father, today, “I will hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:23-25!
