Wilt Thou Be Made Hole?

Before we can experience more out of life, we must first WANT more out of life . . . John 5:1-15 records a man with an infirmity who sat by the pool of Bethesda for 38 years (yes, 38 years). This man even had a bed that he laid on by the pool, signifying that he was 'comfortable' with where he was. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, He said to him, “Wilt thou be made whole?” (“Do you want to be healed?”). And, surprisingly enough, the man didn't reply by saying, "Yes", but he began to make excuses, blaming others for him being in the place that he was in life.


Some of us are not physically disabled, but there are some places in our lives that we've been in far too long. We have gotten 'comfortable' in our 'disabilities'. Poverty, lack, bitterness, unforgiveness, childhood hurt, grief, loneliness, chasing after women / chasing after men, drugs, alcoholism, etc. These things have held up our lives long enough! “Wilt thou be made whole?” Do you want to be set free? Do you want better for your life than what you have going on right now??? If your answer is Yes, then Jesus is here to set you free! Jesus is not getting any glory out of us living in bondage. He has a wonderful plan for our lives, but we must first be open to His plan, placing the totality of our trust in Him (Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:32).

If you're ready for greater, sincerely pray this prayer aloud...
"Heavenly Father, have mercy on me, a sinner. I believe in you and that your word is true. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that he died on the cross so that I may now have forgiveness for my sins and eternal life. I know that without you in my heart my life is meaningless.I believe in my heart that you, Lord God, raised Him from the dead. Please Jesus forgive me, for every sin I have ever committed or done in my heart, please Lord Jesus forgive me and come into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior today. I need you to be my Father and my friend. I give you my life and ask you to take full control from this moment on; I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ." Amen.
