Walk!

John 5:1-9
“After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man
was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 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. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.” KJV


The last instruction Jesus gave to the man that will make him whole is WALK. This means among other things to make a headway, advance by steps, and to pursue a course of action or way of life. This is a command Jesus gave him and so to you in other that you be made whole. Begin to take steps, one day at a time, one step at a time in the direction of that desire. 

He is also saying to you, pursue a course of action, stop waiting on somebody else. You walk! The only person you need to be made whole and He is standing before you and saying to you, RISE, TAKE UP THY BED AND WALK! That is all you need to be made whole of whatever and in whatever situation you are in right now.  Would you be made whole?
