John 5:1-17 1. Get up - this is not self help. Getting up is assisted by God alone. (Romans 9:16). 2. Take up your bed - gathering your belongings...this must be accomplished in God’s timing, not ones own strength. This is not a faith issue, but a lifestyle of order/authority/obedience to our Master God. (Matthew 7:28). 3. Walk - move forward, do not stay in your sin, past problems, past hurts, past illness. Psalm 119:1 God is always working (John 5:17)
