The Stirring of the Waters

While reading the written Word is profitable in one way, reading it through the Holy Spirit’s tutelage causes it to become Alive!

I find it amazing the great lengths that people will go to for their healing and personal restoration from God because it really is true that you don’t know what you have until you lose it.

While healing really is the Children’s Bread, or in other words, a part of their Spiritual Inheritance as Sons and Daughters of God, many struggle enormously to connect to this part of their inheritance.

Whether it is that we don’t think in our hearts that we truly deserve to be healed or that we don’t believe that God wants to heal us, many struggle with their personal appropriation of what has been given to them from their Inheritance in Jesus Christ.

“And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory.” Romans 8:17

It should be noted that the “suffering” of Jesus Christ was not due to sickness and disease, for they had no power over Him, but it was the persecution that He suffered because of Who He was and what He was doing. Sickness and disease are not to be your portion!

As I was sitting with this on April 25, I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Tell My People to Get Into The Waters! For as they do, the Waters will be Stirred and Supernatural Healing will begin to manifest for them the Longer that they remain in the Waters!”

When I heard this, the Holy Spirit directed my attention to a passage of scripture that I haven’t read in a few years:

“Now there is in Jerusalem a pool near the Sheep Gate. This pool in the Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five porches (alcoves, colonnades, doorways). In these lay a great number of sick folk—some blind, some crippled, and some paralyzed (shriveled up)—[a]WAITING FOR THE BUBBLING UP OF THE WATER. For an angel of the Lord went down at appointed seasons into the pool and moved and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was cured of whatever disease with which he was afflicted.” John 5:2-4

As I read these passages, the Holy Spirit said to me, “WHILE THESE WERE NATURAL WATERS THAT STIRRED IN A PHYSICAL POOL THEN, IT IS THE WASHING OF THE WATER OF MY WORD (Ephesians 5:26) THAT I AM STIRRING UP RIGHT NOW FOR MANY SONS AND DAUGHTERS! THAT STIRRING WILL BRING HEALING, RESTORATION, AND NEW STRENGTH FOR THEM GOING FORWARD.”

As we step into our time in the Word of God, many of us are going to begin to feel the Supernatural Unction of the Holy Spirit quickening our mortal bodies (Romans 8:11) as a result! While reading the written Word is profitable in one way, reading it through the Holy Spirit’s tutelage causes it to Become Alive! (Hebrews 4:12)

“The flesh Profiteth Nothing but it is the Holy Spirit that gives Life!” (John 6:63)

While in the past, all you probably encountered was the Logos (the written Word) when you opened up your Bible, but in the season approaching, many of you who desperately need a touch from the Healing Hands of Jesus Christ are going to Encounter His Quickening Spirit, the moment you open its pages!

It’s time to step in the Waters of the Word of God and be Healed by His Stripes (Isaiah 53:5)! The price has been paid and the provision made. Now all you need to do is Encounter Him as He stirs up the Waters and get submerged in their Flow!
