WHEN YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON UNDERSTANDING AND QUICK UNDERSTANDING
"In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water."
When your life depends on understanding and quick understanding, you cannot be sluggish. There's a place where not having understanding or peaking in your moment of revelation on time may cost you. I started on that yesterday and you saw those who would be taken away because they had late understanding or didn't have at all. Those are the sets and myriads of people who cannot foresee the evil let alone prepare an action plan against it.
Today's reading emphasizes that as we visit the community of the invalids. The Bible says, "in these lay a great multitude of impotent folk..." Then it goes on to mention them - "of blind, halt, withered waiting for the moving of the water."
They were waiting for the moving of the water but what if the water is moved and they don't move. Obviously you know the consequence. They'll pay a big penalty for missing their chance.
Now that they know that their healing depends on seeing the troubled water and entering it at once, all stays alert. Irrespective of the businesses and activities on going around them, they prep themselves for one thing - to understand when the water has been stirred so as to fall into it. The Bible says this.
"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."
Merely reading this verse, you know what danger awaits those who will not understand or have quick understanding as to whether the water has been stirred. When the water is stirred, there's clearly a physical manifestation. An obvious dramatic rousing of the water that can be heard and be visibly seen. What they wait for is the troubling in that way. The angel might come and might have gone but you get left behind if you don't know the water has been stirred.
Once the water is stirred, a race, struggle and unrepentant competition begins towards the pool. The question is who will get in first. Getting in first not only depends on how you're bodily enhanced to race but also on quick understanding.
"Did you know that the water has been stirred? Can you see, hear or hear it immediately reported or shouted that the water has been troubled?" If you cannot decipher, your case gets reserved for another day. That another day is what nobody knows since that place only says, "an angel goes down at a particular season to stir the water."
Except that season is consistent and has been memorized, you cannot plan for a visitation. And if that's true, you still have people to contend with. This event therefore shows you cannot sleep on it because a snake is underneath. You have to be active - awake and aware. Without that, your healing gets postponed.
I pray for you, you won't be left behind. There's a time when action is effective according to this passage. That's falling into the water ahead of anyone as soon as it is stirred. Any other slapping of the water after the first contact, nothing gets achieved. That peaks how important quick understanding is in our world. Have you heard, "the slots are few" before? If it's few, it means only with quick understanding and early disclosure could you take it. Late comers will meet nothing. Where you should not be left behind, you won't. You will be counted worthy and accounted among the successful because of quick understanding. Onward, you will react on time. You will strike the iron while it is hot. You will fall into the pool as soon as it is stirred.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: I am not redundant. I have quick understanding in this life. I understand times and seasons and what I do fit times and seasons.
