#BETHESDA___IMPOTENT_FOLKS

 “In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk…” “And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.” John 5:3, 5 (KJV)

🔥 #EXHORTATION

          Good morning beloved!

          At Bethesda lay impotent folks—men and women whose strength had failed them, whose capacity to move forward was gone, and whose situations had outlived their energy. They have strength of sight, limbs, and presence, but no strength to move themself into change. Impotence here is not just physical; it is destiny fatigue—the state where effort no longer produces progress. 

          Thirty-eight years is a long time to try and fail. A long time to hope and be disappointed. A long time to watch others move ahead while you remain in the same spot. Impotent folks are not lazy people; they are exhausted believers—those who have tried everything they know and still cannot rise. 

          When you found yourself in impotent challenges in Bethesda, know these truths:

   ■  Long-standing weakness does not cancel divine intervention.

   ■  Being impotent does not disqualify you from mercy.

   ■  Where strength ends, grace begins.

          Beloved, impotence ends when Jesus enters. One word from Christ can restore what years of struggle could not fix. Your inability is not your end; it is the platform for God’s ability. Today, Jesus is stepping into your impotence in Bethesda. Your season of helplessness is giving way to divine empowerment in Jesus name,  Amen. 

🔍 #REFLECTION

          Physically: God releases strength where weakness has lingered.

          Spiritually: Mercy overrides long-term affliction and stagnation.

          Emotionally: Hope is restored after years of disappointment.

          Mentally: Your mindset shifts from “I can’t” to “God can.”
