Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. Just like this certain man, there are so many great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, and paralyzed waiting near the pools of Bethesda for many years. They had been waiting for years for their healing. They go to Bethesda every now and again when God moves. They know the pattern for healing and in this pattern a man is involved. This man must do an activity such as lifting the sick man to put him into the pool when the water is stirred up. The distance between the certain man and his healing is man’s help. When the Angel stirs the water, this certain sick man is looking or searching for a man to put him into the water.

Let our praise and adoration for God be like water vapour that evaporates from our lives and rises to heaven, becoming God’s rain clouds that bring showers of God’s mercy, blessings, and favour on this land. God’s rain clouds are formed by the accumulation of our praise and adoration. Each drop of praise and adoration is not wasted; rather, it ascends to heaven and gathers as a rain-bearing cloud. When there is a large accumulation of praise and adoration droplets and the clouds grow too heavy, the clouds break and an abundance of God’s rain falls.

When a preacher does not go to the mountain top to seek and speak with God, he can become like Aaron, who takes the people’s valuables and creates an idol or god of their liking. Aaron used the people’s lusts, expectations, and wishes to create an idol of the god they desired. Aaron even used God’s pattern to build an altar in front of the idol of their desires and lusts. If you, as a preacher, don’t have a place to seek and find God, you risk becoming like Aaron, who, under stress, surrendered to people’s wishes to a create a god they liked.

The Good Samaritan gave two denarii and promised to give even more to the innkeeper to care for the wounded man. There are so many wounded people in this land right now. Physically, they look to be in good health, but spiritually, they are half dead. They have been robbed of their blessings, their health, and have been wounded by the devil, and they lay half dead. For years, they had remained at the same spiritual place of attack or robbery with their wounds and scars. The devil has even plundered and struck the people so severely that they have lost all hope and have been living with scars and wounds for years. No one might be aware of their spiritual state of attack and robbery.

In a vision, a young person was taken to a place in heaven. The place had a large auditorium. The large auditorium was a library the size of two large cities like New York. The library had enormous bookshelves and trillions of volumes of books. He was perplexed as to why there were so many books and who wrote them. He noticed many saints of God reading these books while walking through the library. He approached one of the saints who was reading a book and asked some inquiries. The saint stated that all the works of God from the beginning of time are recorded in these books or annals.

A tsunami of darkness is approaching the land. There are no armored soldiers fighting against the darkness. Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. As a result, Jesus is calling a large number of intercessors as soldiers to pray alongside Him in His army. Experienced intercessors are busy with their own needs, and newly called intercessors lack God’s armor. The newly called intercessors do not have a life of faith and dependence on God. They still not have experienced the power and life available in God’s word.

In this verse, the Lord gives his servant a learned tongue so that he will know how to speak a word in season to the weary. Weary – exhibiting or experiencing extreme tiredness. There are many weary people around us. Seasons are changing but still they are weary. Isaiah mentions one weary person at a time in this verse, not a group. Isaiah could be searching for all the weary individuals around him. 

In this vision, the darkness is approaching the land. One of the reasons for this is that pulpits are serving stale manna. Pulpits are serving stale word or food to their congregations.  Stale food has caused faithless lives, decay in health, no love, and lack of fear of God. The believers’ lives have decayed and become rotten as a result of consuming stale food. Stale food does not create an appetite for true manna or word of God. It creates a sick lifestyle. Because the pulpits serve stale food, the congregations have lost interest in reading the Bible, praying, and showing love to others.

A tsunami of darkness is approaching the land. There is no prayer wall that is blocking the tsunami. The believers are trapped in their sins, ignorance, and partying lifestyles because of a compromised gospel. 

By looking at your lives, others around you should have a burning bush experience or an encounter with God. Let your lives be burning in the fire of God and in that fire, others around you should have an encounter with God. Allow God’s fire to burn in your lives continuously until others have an encounter with God.
