class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>Title: Healing Overflows Like a Mighty River!<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> John 5:1-9<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a pastor, I receive countless prayer requests, many of which come from those suffering from illness. Nearly every family has at least one member struggling with physical or mental health issues\u2014cancer, chronic illnesses, autoimmune diseases, joint pain, and severe skin conditions that become unbearable even with immunosuppressants. Others battle depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia, delusions, addiction to drugs, alcohol, gambling, or gaming. The mind and body are deeply connected; when the body suffers, the spirit weakens, and when the spirit is in distress, the body follows.<\/p>\n<p>What must we do? We must encounter Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>We live in an imperfect world, tossed about by suffering, poverty, illness, rejection, and loneliness. But Jesus, full of compassion, looks upon us, weeps for our pain, and binds our wounds. He came to heal, to restore, to bring light into darkness, hope into despair, and healing into sickness. He is our Savior and our ultimate Healer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. We Must Meet Jesus<\/strong><br \/>\nIn today&#8217;s passage, we meet a man who had been an invalid for 38 years. He had given up hope, left with nothing but superstition and the desperate hope that someone would place him in the water. Abandoned by family, he had become emotionally as well as physically broken. His life was defined by exhaustion, despair, and helplessness.<\/p>\n<p>But then, Jesus came to him first (v.6). Jesus is the One who seeks us out, just as He called Abraham, Moses, Peter, and Paul. He is not the giver of suffering but the God who heals. Even when we turn away, He patiently waits, reaching out to restore us.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremiah 29:11 says, &#8220;For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Exodus 15:26 proclaims, &#8220;I am the Lord who heals you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Isaiah 53:5 reminds us, &#8220;By His wounds, we are healed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Psalm 147:3 reassures us, &#8220;He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And in Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus calls, &#8220;Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Without encountering Jesus, we remain like the man at the pool\u2014paralyzed by despair, weighed down by the burdens of life, and lost in fear. Many turn to worldly solutions, seeking comfort in material things, power, or even superstition, only to be left unfulfilled. But Jesus does not leave us to struggle alone\u2014He comes to us, speaks to us, and brings healing with a single word.<\/p>\n<p>It is time for us to meet Jesus. To receive Him, to let Him heal our hearts, minds, and bodies. When we accept Him, we will experience a freedom and restoration beyond anything we have ever known. Our weary souls will rise, and our broken lives will walk anew.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus is calling you today. Will you answer?<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Repentance is the Beginning of Healing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>How do we approach Him? Through prayer, worship, and the Word, but most importantly\u2014through repentance.<br \/>\nThe Pool of Bethesda, where this miracle took place, was traditionally used for cleansing sacrifices before offering them to God. This is significant because healing often begins with repentance. John the Baptist\u2019s first call was, \u201cRepent, for the kingdom of heaven is near!\u201d (Matthew 3:2). Even when God offers salvation, if we persist in sin without repentance, His healing power cannot fully work within us.<\/p>\n<p>1 John 1:9 assures us, &#8220;If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Acts 3:19 declares, &#8220;Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Repentance brings:<\/p>\n<p>Healing for the soul\u2014God draws near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18).<\/p>\n<p>Healing for emotional wounds\u2014He renews our hearts.<\/p>\n<p>Healing for the body\u2014Psalm 103:3 says, &#8220;He forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Healing for relationships\u2014God restores what is broken.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, repentance is the first step toward complete healing. When we come before Him with genuine repentance, we not only receive forgiveness but also deep restoration in every part of our lives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Do You Want to Be Healed? (v.6)<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen Jesus asked the invalid, &#8220;Do you want to be healed?&#8221; the man did not answer directly but instead lamented his circumstances, explaining that no one would help him into the water.<\/p>\n<p>This response reflects how people often react to hardship:<\/p>\n<p>Blaming Others \u2013 &#8220;I can\u2019t because of someone else\u2026&#8221; But God\u2019s power is not limited by people. David overcame Goliath, Moses confronted Pharaoh, and Paul endured imprisonment. We must let go of bitterness and embrace faith.<\/p>\n<p>Self-Centeredness \u2013 Focusing only on our own suffering, forgetting to care for others. We must pray not just for ourselves but for those around us, for the Church, and for the nations.<\/p>\n<p>Conforming to Our Condition \u2013 Over time, suffering can become so familiar that we stop believing change is possible. The invalid had been crippled for so long that he no longer hoped for healing.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Jesus spoke, &#8220;Get up! Pick up your mat and walk!&#8221; And immediately, the man was healed.<\/p>\n<p>The Overflowing Healing of Christ<\/p>\n<p>Even today, Jesus stands among us. His presence is here, His healing power flows like a mighty river. This church, this moment, is our Pool of Bethesda. The Holy Spirit is moving, bringing renewal and restoration. Where the Spirit of Christ is, healing follows\u2014fear dissolves, despair is lifted, and sickness is overcome.<\/p>\n<p>Mark 16:17-18 promises, &#8220;These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name, they will drive out demons\u2026they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>James 5:14-16 instructs us, &#8220;Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord\u2026 The prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Healing is God\u2019s desire for us. His power has not diminished; His love has not faded. He is still the great Healer, and His grace overflows like a mighty river.<\/p>\n<p>Today, let us reach out in faith. Let us respond to His question\u2014\u201cDo you want to be healed?\u201d\u2014with a resounding &#8220;Yes, Lord! Heal me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>May this church be a modern-day Bethesda, a place where the Spirit moves, where chains are broken, where healing abounds, and where lives are restored in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5783,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,25,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-46","category-senior-pastor","category-sermons"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/arumdaunchurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/arumdaunchurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/arumdaunchurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/arumdaunchurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/arumdaunchurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5788"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/arumdaunchurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5797,"href":"http:\/\/arumdaunchurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5788\/revisions\/5797"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/arumdaunchurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/arumdaunchurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/arumdaunchurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/arumdaunchurch.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
