John 5:4-5

"For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years." John 5:4-5.


Jesus asked the man if he wanted to be made whole, and he answered, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up." He was so caught up with thinking he needed someone to help him, he could not see that his miracle was standing right in front of him! When you have no man to help you--nowhere to turn but God--you are a prime target for a miracle! No man can do for you what Jesus can do for you.


When you quit depending on your job, the preacher, your family, or the next healing line, you are positioned for your breakthrough. Family may let you down, the preacher may disappoint you and your friends may forsake you, but Jesus is the friend who sticks closer than a brother.


Rely on Him and Him alone, and He will meet you at the very point of your deepest need. What are the deep needs He is meeting in your life today? Praise Him, Hallelujah, Amen and Amen.
