John 5:7 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
The man lay in wait for the water to be troubled for him to receive the healing. The challenge was that,another would always step before him and he had none to aid him. Jesus saw him and knew he had suffered for 38 years. He had come so near to receiving his miracle yet so far for he knew no man.
Have you found yourself so close to your breakthrough but since you don’t have the connection you remain static. Just when you are about to rise , another comes and takes your position.
Jesus reached out to him. His Grace reached out to his helpless state. He didn’t have to dip himself in the pool. Jesus broke the methodology . He entered into a season of being made whole.
Friends, it’s time to rise from our limitations. Dependence on man will bring nothing but disappointments. Christ has total authority over every situation and circumstance in our lives. Every door He has opened ,no man can shut.
