7 Signs - Lord Over Our Circumstance

Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. --John 5:8-9This Sunday, we encounter a fascinating story that happened at the Pool of Bethesda—a man who had been lame for 38 years! Jesus asks him a seemingly obvious question, “Do you want to be healed?” and the man responds with excuses.----------What happens to many of us is we get comfortable in our difficult circumstances and we don’t actually want to put in the effort that would be required to get better – often times the pain of recovery and change is worse than the pain of the thing that put us in the situation in the first place.
