The Waters are stirring...

The man lay by the pool of Bethesda waiting on the waters to stir. The man was waiting on his healing, he was waiting on the waters to stir so he could be restored. He could have laid there forever waiting on someone to help him get to the pool, that is until Jesus passed by. He made excuses as to why he would couldn't move to get there. Let that sink in...He made excuses to Jesus as to why he couldn't move. Oh my how many times do we make excuses because we can't (or won't) move when He asks us to. The man was content to just sit there and wait on someone. Are you content to just sit there and wait on someone else to get you to the water? How close are you to your water, but you just can't seem to get to the water in time? Do you think the man was staring at the water to see when it started stirring or was he waiting on someone else to tell him when to jump in? 

The waters are stirring right now. We are living in a Joel 2:28 season where God is pouring out His Spirit in abundance to those that are seeking and are hungering after Him. He's pouring it out already. It's not a time that's coming, it's here. Are you sitting by the pool waiting on a pastor or leader to lead you to the water for your healing or miracle? Are you making excuses to Jesus when He asks why you are still sitting there? The waters are stirring....don't just wade in, jump in. He longs to not just fill you up, but to have you overflowing and ready to pour out to others. He longs for a people who will not just wait on someone to lead them to the water, but will take a step and move on their own. Get moving....the power is yours for the taking. Are you going to grab it or wait for someone to hand it to you? Tradition won't get you to the waters, Religion won't get you to the waters, but a desperate, a longing for more of Him will get you there. He longs to restore to you what the enemy has taken from you. He longs to heal your heart and to bring you back to Him. He longs for you to love Him as much as you love the other things you seek after. He longs for you.

The waters are stirring, boldness, obedience, and a fire that cannot be quenched is yours for the grabbing. Ask Him for it today....and then when He says jump in...do it. 

The war has already started, God's leading the charge. Armor up, solider.
