John 5:6-8 (King James Version)
"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"
Have you ever felt as if you've been in the same situation way too long? Finances not right, family issues, career off track, etc. The situation you desire to change the most is stagnant. When we read about the man by the pool, he had been laying there a long time, and in his condition a long time. He watched others walk into their deliverance, while he still remained the same. He could have given up and went away, but then he would have missed Jesus. There may be times in our lives when no one around us can change our condition, but if we hold on, Jesus is coming by. Even when it seems like everyone else is getting in the pool before us, we can't get bitter or give up. If we allow circumstances to paralyze us, or cause us to quit, we could miss our opportunity to rise and walk into our deliverance.
Mark 9:23
"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth"
Isaiah 40:31
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint"
