Are You Spiritually Paralyzed
Hello Fellow Steemians!!
God created you and knows you better than anyone. He also loves you more than anyone. He understands your uncertainty and fear. Be honest with Him about where you are spiritually right now.
Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesdaand which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.
- John 5:9
You may not be physically paralyzed, like the guy in our story. But there’s more than one way to be crippled. Are you spiritually paralyzed? Has it been years since you’ve really grown spiritually?
What paralyzes you? A habit you can’t break, a relationship that’s drawing you away from God, your past? Whatever is crippling you, the Great Physician is here . . . and He wants to do some spiritual surgery in your life right now. Will you let Him?
Pray It!
Are you afraid of the spiritual surgery Jesus can give you? Admit that fear of change. Ask him to help you trust him completely and hand over your baggage to Him.Be blessed and keep on smiling whenever and wherever you are. Have a great day everyone! God bless us all and again thank you for your time.🙂
