John 5:7-8
7 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.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
Application:
Faith requires that we do something about what God has already done. We must act in accord with prescribed faith. The impotent man’s healing was directly a result of his action of faith as prescribed by Jesus. We must first act in faith if we are to reap the results of faith.
According to his word, so be it unto you. (Luke 1:38)
Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. (John 2:5)
Do what He says do and remember you’re never too far down to rise in God!
