The #competition at the Pool of Bethesda is like #cancer. Until the Water of Life gets into you, you will remain unclean and stay there another 38 years being #crippled, #cruel, and #common while #carrying a pious sign that reads: “Welcome to our religious #club where we never #change”.
GOD is #calling us out of ministry #comforts. It's time we step out of the #cocoon that #confines us within the #camps of generational familiarities that are #conditioned to keep us unchallenged and unchanged.
How long will we remain #cohabiting in #contaminated #circles of religiosity? People that look like you, talk like you; walk like you?
#Come out of the Pools of Bethesda! #Culture will never #complete you. Only #Christ and His Word will.
It's no wonder the #citizens of this #community #couldn't #climb out and escape their #crazy #cultural #conditions. While they remain #competing and #combating among themselves to see who #could get into the water first, Yeshua, the Water of life Himself, #came to the pools to see who would #catch and get into Him.
The waters are troubled. Lay hold of the vision and step out because if not, you will have gained religion but you won't be #changed.
Learn & Discern: Some people will remain #comfortable in their bed of #calamities because they want an excuse to keep their #cane. That #cane is NOT your friend. It will keep you a #crippling for life while hanging at the #camps with others that #cannot see a hope and a future or plainly put, refuse to #comform to what GOD has to offer. But Yeshua #came to #cancel the works of the enemy and set us free. He #came to offer life to the "whosoever will" let him #come. One #can be #convicted without ever #changing. He that has an ear let him hear. ~2022 Narda Goodson - - #itstimetochange #SpirituallyLethargic
