Transforming Perspectives | Jesus’s volition underlying this question invokes personal introspection before answering.
Apostle John’s narrative displays vivid imagery of Jesus arriving in Jerusalem during the festival season, appearing at the pool of Bethesda, observing the many sufferers waiting for the stirring of the waters.  A contextual framework structuring the fundamental doctrines of faith, hope and restoration, premised upon acknowledging oneself in the inclusivity of the ‘certain man’.
Noteworthy, Jesus being omniscient having knowledge beyond the obvious immobility of the crippled man who supposedly has a desire to be healed, recognizes also, the immobility of his unbelief.  Prompting his question “Do you want to be made whole?” posed as a rhetorical volition ‘be healed’  underlined with the presumptive response, Yes!
Which premise is to gain spiritual knowledge that the outpouring of the divine essence of Jesus Christ, is healing, reconciliation, restoration and wholeness, Hebraic term ‘Shalom.’  Instantaneously, occurring at moment upon which a small measure of belief meets its brokenness’s resolve. 
Jesus Christ is omnipresent, always standing before each of us, awaiting for our eyes to see and hearts to respond to the consolation of our soul, wholeness in perfect harmony with the One True and Living God.

Biblical Principles |
Healing and restoration of the person God has created in you and me, become visible in our response of belief in the supreme totality of the person of Jesus Christ. 
Scripture References |
Matthew 9:20-22 “And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.”
The Bible - New King James Version
The Stirring of the Water – The Gospel according to John Chapter 5.

When asked to believe, often our inner thought is, how is my faith measured?
The Bible is explicit about the concept of faith which is neither a religion nor a denomination, but an act of believing God.
The letter to the Hebrews Chapter 11 defines faith as the substance of things hope for evidence of things not seen, meaning the manifestation of a word spoken, as in Noah building an ark, believing in rain as God had spoken, before it ever rained upon the earth.
Faith is indeed measured by the substance or proof of the hope planted in our hearts and minds upon hearing a spoken promise or word of God.
Notable is the Lord’s exhortation expressed in the parable of the fig tree,  requiring trust in his authority to change the impossible to possible in every opportunity, regardless of time, season or limitations.
When belief meets or is active at the predestined time ordered by God, whereby  hope becomes alive having assurance in God with whom all things are possible.
Biblical Principles |
All things are possible when we believe, placing our trust in God.
Hebrews 12:1-2 |
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.  For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
‭‭The Bible - NIV‬‬ (New International Version)

A misnomer about Christian faith is related to the concept of abundance 
 often interpreted as prosperity.  The historical narrative of Scripture frames the concept of God provisions by events comparable to planting, gathering and receiving relative to the perspective of farming.
Contextually, in the era of the Old Testament, a typical livelihood of farming consisting of seasons biblical defined by metaphorical comparisons for abounding in life by the acts of planting seed, time for growing and a time for harvest.
Significant, however is the existential root of abundance being centered in the act of giving.
The metaphorical comparisons provide clarity of God’s intent and purpose, as well as man’s interdependence upon one another, being fundamental to the functioning of faith in Jesus Christ having effectual lives by trusting God.

Biblical Principles |
Faith consists of trusting God, abounding in the all sufficiency of his Providence.
Mark 12:41-43 : And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
(The Bible - King James Version)

Biblically, to fret means more than a mind of dread or uneasiness but also to wrestle or struggle or burn, become agitated with or against something spiritually.
The Lord’s command not to fret, is a crucial volition to being unafraid resting in the authority of His Name.  
Essentially, refocusing our mind’s stance and perspective from ourselves and circumstances to Jesus Christ.  Which are actions of faith, trusting the truths of Scriptures, pertinent to casting out fears in subjection to the power and authority of the LORD our God. 
Complying to the Lord’s command with prayer switches our situation from the spirit of fear, dread and anxiety, standing in faith, guarded by his armor of light, stilled in the presence of the power of his peace and Lordship over all things. 

Biblical Principles |
To not fret or become anxious is learning to trust God, praying in every situation so to rest in the peace of God that guards and protects our hearts and minds.
Luke 8:23-25 - But as they sailed he (Jesus Christ) fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish.
Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
(The Bible - King James Version)
Scripture References |
Fret Not instead Trust in Almighty God – Psalms 37.
Instructions for Peace – Letter to the Philippians Chapter 4 verse 6-14.

Transforming Perspectives |
Biblically, the act of forgiving is more a complex phenomenon of healing, as it is of releasing of sins, offences, trespasses and transgressions. 
Forgiveness begins by submitting to God’s will as a response to his command, to forgive! So to be forgiven and so to allow the Holy Spirit to complete his perfect work in every affected individual, personally and collectively, as well.  Actually, a sin or transgressions against someone e.g. a false witness (lying), coveting (jealousy, envy and stealing), unfaithfulness (adultery) are offences that impart a bruise upon one’s heart and mind.
So significant are our sins against God and one another that the Lord’s intervention is required to restore wholeness and wellness of each person.
Without the Lord’s healing, our heart and mind will become sickened, often physically noticeable effects as bitterness and resentment leading to anger, and to hatred, and in untreated cases, murder.

Biblical Principle |
Pray and ask God if there is any offence or sin against anyone that requires your repenting and forgiving as well as God’s forgiveness.
Matthew 9:11-13 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 
But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them. They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.  But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
(King James Version)

The Physician Comes - The Gospel Accounts of Matthew Chapter 9.

Transforming Perspectives |
God’s Grace reaches beyond his offering of salvation by faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ, without condemnation. Grace’s expanse touches every person in need of forgiveness for sins and trespasses against God’s righteousness, and sovereign will. His grace often is referred as unmerited favor, meaning he is active overseeing every aspect of believers’ lives, providing immeasurable provisions, miraculous healing, almighty intervention and spiritual wellness beyond worldly imagination, unconditionally. 
However, as in the business’ sector, acumen understands grace includes a period or time by which it is extended.

Biblical Principle |
Today, respond ‘Yes’ to God’s drawing us individually to Him, while it is still the time of his Grace.
Hebrews 4:6-7 - So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders, After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart.
(The Bible in Basic English version)
Scripture References |
Law Fulfilled in Grace’s Offer – The Book of Hebrews Chapter 4.
God’s Grace given freely in the Loved One – The Book of Ephesians Chapter 1.

The work or process of renewing the mind is developing new perspectives regarding self and God in relations to life through perpetual experiential enlightenment in an increasingly faithful relationship with God in Jesus Christ.
Therefore, gaining spiritual understanding in the liberty of Jesus Christ in heightened wisdom resting in the perfect will of God.

Have you considered the worldly practices in your faith walk that hinder your spiritual life?  Biblical references pertaining to the word ‘Liberty’ expound on the fundamentals of spiritual wellness maintained in a relationship with God in Jesus Christ.  A relationship consisting of the freedom from the burdens of the Law which remains the moral standard in righteousness, however the satisfying of them has been fulfilled eternally by Jesus Christ for every who believes.
Most of us understand that Jesus Christ comes to deliver, heal and set free or remove physical bondages.
More explicitly, He is Liberty whose spirit releases or loosens the bounds of unseen bruises, hurts and heartbreak which hinder our belief that our faith includes surrendering wholly in trust upon Him.

Biblical Principles |
The Spirit of Lord is Liberty who sets us free, releasing us in faith from the bondage of religious rituals and practices.
Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?  (The Bible - King James Version).
Scripture References |
Spiritual Wellness - Letter to the Galatians Chapter 2 verses 15-21.
Liberty in Faith - Letter to the Galatians Chapter 3.
