Do you feel yourself being stuck somewhere? Do you see yourself
bathing in unfairness? Or maybe you feel this bitterness that is going to choke
you and is polluting the atmosphere around you?
Sometimes, you might think: nobody understands me, nobody knows
what I have been through and still going through, nobody sees my wounds. And you
end up concluding that you are a victim.
Today, if you hear his
voice, do not harden
your hearts.
When Jesus went up to Jerusalem, there was a man
there waiting for someone to put him into the water once it moves so he can be
healed from his infirmity. For 38 years,
this man, has been suffering from this infirmity. During those years, this infirmity
took roots everywhere, in his mind, body and soul. It became part of him, it
became his victim identity.
BUT
'When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been
in that condition a long time, He said
to him, “Do you want to be made well?”' John 5:6
Jesus saw him and
knew his condition. That is exactly what Jesus is doing with you too. He sees
YOU, He knows your pain, He knows all of your wounds, and does NOT ignore it. He
comes to you too and is asking you the same question: Do you want to be made
well?
Jesus desires to
heal you, to carry your burdens, to wash away your guild, to set you free from
any bondage! He WANTS to! But the question is, do you too want to be set free? Or
you made the victim identity be part of your daily life, just coping with it?
Today, Jesus is
telling you: Do not live your life stuck in your childhood, in your problems,
in the unfairness of life. Identify your pain and it will bring you to the roots, put it before the Lord and let Him deal with it. If you leave it, it becomes like poison that kills.
Do not accept to accommodate
your pain instead of dealing with it!
Yes, you cannot
control what happened in the past, but you can and have the ability to control
what is NOW.
God is not
silent, God is working ALL the time, He never gets tired nor does He ever sleep.
He is ready to perform His word!
For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of
love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm,
well-balanced mind and self-control]. 2Timothy 1:7
Did you read
that? God has ALREADY given us a spirit of power, it is in you already, you
have it, you own it but do you use it?
Jesus is asking you TODAY, do you want to be made well? Do
you want me to cloth you with victory and sonship? He took this victim spirit
from you already on the cross.
You have the choice to choose this victim identity, by adopting it
and fit yourself in it or choose to undress yourself from it.
