Take up thy bed!!

John 5:2-9
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. 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. 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? 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. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
How many of us, like the man with the infirmity have been waiting on someone else for a breakthrough. Waiting on someone else or some divine instants to occur to ensure our blessing. This man had been by the water for 38 years waiting for someone else to ensure his deliverance. He didn't even realize when Jesus was standing before him that his healing and deliverance was nigh unto him. We can be the same way at times. Waiting on someone else or blaming our circumstance for our misfortune.
Jesus simply said wilt thou be made whole? Basically saying do you really desire to be made whole? Do you really want this like you say you do? If you do then, what’s stopping you? Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Rise, take up thy bed and walk. Jesus has all power and authority in the palm of His hands. NOTHING by any means can hurt us nor have the power to overcome us NOTHING. Not even death. We operate under the same authority. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

 Grab and go: If you truly desire deliverance from whatever the enemy is afflicting you with. I don’t care if it’s Low self-worth, financial burden, sickness in your flesh. Speak to your situation and Rise Up.
