WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE??

Another new day has come..

He could see new faces around,some crippled,blind..some of His old friends also were there.I feel He was the supersenior of all with regard to an infirmity and waiting at the pool of bethesda.His eyes as usually went to the pool....anytime the angel can come and stir up the pond and who gets down first gets healed.Forget being first..this man I feel has hardly seen the angel,such was the crowd in that poolof bethesda,people rejected by doctors...hoped to get down in that pond after the angel had stirred up the water.In biblical terms

3In these lay a great multitude of invalid folk -- blind, halt, withered -- waiting for the moving of the water.
4For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool and troubled the water. Whosoever then first stepped in, after the troubling of the water, was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

He also looked for any other person who could help him out...someone who smiled at him..this man must have asked..COULD YOU Please help me to get down that pool when the angel stirs the water.The smile in those faces definitely had vanished by now..Noone there to help Him...see wat He says to anyone who comes there

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."

When there is noone to help you..you always give a TRY..but the results are always hard to digest..
This day He heard a gentle voice..."WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE??"...He,I feel,didnt give heed to even look at that person,because the angel ,the friends he was looking for NEVER LOOKED BACK AT HIM....
He said the old story again...incorrect answers for the question asked..the question is "Wilt thou be made whole??"answer is"Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while am coming, another steppeth down before me."That sweet voice this time turned its pitch...It became a sort of command..
"Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."

9And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked...

Situation changed..something struck His life...each word...added power to His weak body!!He sprang up..he needed noone to help Him..For the first time in 38 years He walked and that too taking that BED..

Friend..we also face problems..lingering for ages..and we look for an angel...or a man of God..for the stirring of the pool like we expect in big crusades and campaigns..we also want others to help us out..everything in waste...

This day dont miss that sound..of JESUS CHRIST who can TURN YOUR LIFE..circumstances...isnt it so true..we dont expect much from the LORD When we spend tme personally with HIm..in our morning prayers,family prayers??

We always want "AN ANGEL" to come..someone to prophecy,someone to lay hands for soemthing great to happen...WRONG..He is beside you..The all important one
HE ORDERS YOU.."Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."..DOnt look for campaigns and crusades(ofcourse things happen there)..It can happen in those moments where u get up from ur bed and call His name.It can happen when you close your eyes and thank God before you have your food..It can happen as u ride ur vehiclE!!IT CAN HAPPEN NOW...if you hear those words from HIM"WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE??MAKE USE OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY YOU GET TO TALK TO UR CREATOR....EVERY MOMENT SHOULD BE SERIOUS,EXPECTING,ATTEMPTING...

WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE??RISE TAKE THY BED AND WALK.....

"He touched me, O, He touched me,
And O, the joy that floods my soul.Something happened,
and now I know,He touched me
and made me whole."

SAY TO URSELF;-)

The bible doesnt tell us about her name.But this lady am talking to you ...had a very cruel disease for 12 long years.She went to many doctors....as the scriptures say
"who had spent all her living upon physicians but could not be healed by any,"
We too have problems facing us for days and years..emotional problems like loneliness,anger,identity crisis and we too go to many doctors.Some go to Dr.Drugs..others got to Dr.Movies...see some other worldly doctors..Dr.Meditation,Dr.pilgrimage...Dr.Secular Music,Dr.Smoking,Dr Novels......all these doctors will only take your livelihood and will only make ur condition worse.

But she never gave up.She heard that Jesus is coming that way.She must have heard that when Jesus touched people they were healed...It was always the Master stooping out for a miracle.It was when Jesus touched...one touch...things were happening.She decided to do something different.She,I feel,didnt have a loud voice like Barthimaeus that could stop Jesus.She didnt have any authority that Jesus could stop and place His hand....Yes friend we may also say the same thing...BUT DO NOT GIVE UP...she didnt complain abt God who never healed her..she said to herself"If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole." what you say to urself matters..She said to herself..Friend now say that to yourself...I dont want to grab hold of Jesus..i dont want to complain..I just want to touch..a soft touch..only my finger should know that.

When she had heard of Jesus, came up behind Him in the press of the crowd and touched His garment.Now reaching Jesus was not easy.She with all her pain,that disease...went past that large crowd..even the inner ring of Peter,James and John....went past all those with pain and that moment came..YES SHE TOUCHED HIM!!!That finger...touched the garment of Jesus.Her focus was correct.No distractions of the world attracted her.Her focus was on Christ..and she made it.For a miracle..for touching him...your focus should be right.The Bible adds on

And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
When you touch Jesus...you feel it.No doubts abt that..Miracles happen straightaway..new peace,happiness,joy,love floods you...Now she wanted to be unnoticed,but Christ stopped there,blessed her.The master always acknowledges a needy,sacrificial touch,a drop of tear,an offering made out of nothing, a song of praise in the darkest hour.He acknowledges that and thats wat touches him.Now wat made the difference here is that moment when the woman said to herself"If only I touch Him"..are u like this..facing problems,worries,depression,disease..and that too for a long time...SAY TO URSELF"If only I touch Him"...then make your way...passing the crowd and angels of heaven and touch Him....Straightaway things will happen.Its happening rite now as you say to yourself and make those steps to touch HIM


Rise n be healed
in the name of Jesus
Just let faith rise in ur soul
rise n be healed in the name of Jesus
He will touch you and make you whole

The Way of the little lonely MAN!!

..he was the chief of taxcollectors,very rich person.He was hated by almost all people as he used to collect heavy taxes,but as every man at one or the other time feel.....HE was lonely!!Remember God doesnt want you to be lonely.It was the first issue that God dealt with regard to Adam.Right,about this man we are talking about,he was also short in size!!

That day, he heard that Jesus had come to his own city.He wanted to meet him ...It was His desire,to meet him.Short man,hated by all...but that man had a soul as every one has to meet its creator..yes friend...that soul that makes you "you"..Its its desire...It cannot be satisfied by movies,friends,parents,money,honey....Allow your soul to meet its creator,as Zaccheaus wanted.he forgot who he was,everything else became null when that deep desire came in His mind.

He had some problems in meeting Jesus.He was short and also the crowd was too much.Yes,this is the problem man faces when wanting to meet the creator.We have a lot of doubts in front of us...questions like nothing else when we go to our creator.It just springs up from nowhere preventing us from meetin our creator...No Zaccheaus didnt succumb,he didnt give up..He ran ahead of Jesus...

He knew the way in which the master was goin to travel...Yes He took that road of faith,holiness.....thru which Jesus comes...He ran ahead and took steps to climb upon a sycamore tree.He didnt wait for His friends..family.He did it himself..Jesus didnt disappoint him..The Lord came that way...stopped rite beneath him and asked him o come down "with haste"!!
Once you meet Christ,things happen quickly!!Zacchaeus came down 'with haste" from the hatred he faced,from the loneliness he had,what a transformation,what joy in the SOUL!!never did zacchaeus experience such joy!!Money,fame nothing gave him that...ONLY JESUS COULD DO THAT
If ur desire is to meet Jesus,His desire is to stay with you.One night with Jesus Christ...changed his broken,lonely life..The life that longed for more fame,money...changed to the life that gives!!The way Jesus came,was the way Zacchaeus took that made a way that changed the way of life of Zacchaues......Have you known the way through which Christ comes....Let ur steps be in the right road thru which He comes and stays with you.

isaacs.. watch out!!

That day Isaac was woke up very early.Usually it was Sarah,His mom who used to wake him up,as it is in most families.No when he looked around he could see his mom sleeping(i guess..).His dad asked him to come out silently.Abraham dressed up his only son...all happened very quickly,saddled the donkey with the requirements they needed,maybe food,water and even some firewood ,as the way to MORIAH was long.Many a time we also feel the gentle pat of our heavenly father,at nights,early in the morning,..!!..he prepares us and takes us to the PLACE He has in mind...

They came to the place of Moriah and Abraham saw that mountain and showed it to Isaac and he also did something.He left the servants and the donkeys there..
See wat the scripture says"Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife.

Worship is the time where we leave out somethings we carry..and carry the LOAD the Father places on our BACKS(in our hearts!!) .

Isaac walked with his dad,the scripture says.."As the two of them went on together"not one step back..nor one step front..WORSHIP causes you to walk with your heavenly father togetherand carry the burden He places on you.

Are you carrying a burden which the father has placed on you and are you wondering ,Who will provide your need...JEhovah Jireh..

They reached the place,abraham built an altar,removed that wood,Isaac was carrying,tied Isaac and placed Him over the wood arranged properly!!Isaac didnt speak anything...He was not offended,He said in His heart "I want to be obedient to you dady..Burn me up with the burden I carried!!I am ready"..No,Isaac..you will not be burn with that..YOUR attitude is what matters.Read Rom 12:1-2..
A ram was placed over the burden Isaac carried and the sacrifice was OVER!!Let it burn,that burden imposed by your dad,that vision,that subject to pray about, placed in your heart...Let Christ be over that..BUT lets be faithful load bearers and May Christ take control !!YOU WILL NEVER BE BURNT UPON THE BURDENS YOU CARRY PLACED ON YOU HEART BY YOUR FATHER!!The burdens will burn with Christ over it and you would sing about HIS provision.JE HOVAH-JIREH!!
isaacs who carry the load laid by the FATHER..watch out "JEHOVAH-JIREH"!!
