THE REJOICING AT STIRRING
John 5:4, KJV
"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."
Look, there will be perfect silence more than the one that obtains at the grave yard except the anointing shows up big time and strongly to plough through. If not, the same old story abides and there won't be new testimonies or witnesses to make headlines.
Have you seen someone pour liquor or any other fuel into a burning fire before? What results? There's a new setting ablaze that can make you stagger back a little. That's what the anointing on all anointed does. It sets people ablaze. It calls forth different imaginable and unimaginable behaviours from them. When ministration of the Word is ongoing and people are being touched, their needs being met and secret intents of the heart being discerned and laid bare, you'll hear groaning, murmuring, abuses, sighs, thanksgiving etc. Some who might be too touched to hold it or can't naturally pedal it down because of their soul constitution may shout out, fall down at times with cries. Some may begin to dance, jump and mesmerize while others in the congregation wonder at what has befallen them.
At least, we know it is not evil but good! How I love this anointing that triggers, that calls forth activities, that activates and prepares people ready for their own activities and purposes in the calling.
In John 5, do you see any effort to reach the pool until its stirring? Not at all. But once it is observed and deduced that that visiting angel has done its work, you'll see invalids then rush to slap the pool. No rejoicing until the stirring has first of all being done. Until then, things are at a stand still like a long traffic jam where vehicles aren't moving.
But stirring calls for rejoicing. The sight of the water being stirred energizes and increases adrenaline in each of these invalids to make a move towards the pool. Even if they've not been happy before but by the stirring (which only the anointing on an anointed can do as he speaks or teaches), they receive the enthusiasm to make effort. But until then, why make effort. Everybody just sits tight. Everybody just folds their arms. There's no reason to move since the whistle hasn't been blown.
That angel is the herald of joy and rejoicing. How many of you went to schools where once the food vendor comes at lunch, a kind of horn would be sounded to notify you? What happens when such is done? You all rush towards her. She brings your joy, what you've been expecting, anticipating and dying to see. Without her appearance or his appearance, who gathers for nothing?
That's how dependent those invalids were on that angel and bringer of joy. Unless its arrival is announced, there's no trying, standing up or hope of being healed.
I pray that anything that you're expecting to come so that your joy might be full that has delayed hitherto shall be released. Hindrances are being busted. The Prince of Persia hindered Gabriel but Michael arose for his freedom. Hindrances to every arrival of answers, deliveries of packages and quick hastening of replies, be removed in the name of Jesus Christ who was, who is and is to come. He changes not. Daniel saw the end of hindrances, you will today see yours.
PRAYER: Thank God that delay in delivering your joy or package has been removed. Pray for all anointed to be empowered afresh to stir.
