“When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, He saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.” John 5:6-7
Look at the man at the Pool of Bethesda mentioned in John 5, this poor guy had no faith whatsoever. Jesus asked Him if he wanted to be healed and the guy only talked about his problems. He never acknowledged Jesus as Lord and showed no faith, none whatsoever. Yet Jesus moved by compassion healed him. We saw yesterday in Ephesians 3 that God had Paul write that He could do exceedingly abundantly above what we could ask or think of. God used these verses to first show me that faith is not our human ability to believe for His Truths, faith is His ability Authored through us to accept and believe His Truths. We could never author or finish anything close to believing what God has for us. But Jesus sure can believe what God can do, and praise God, our Savior and High Priest is willing and He is able to do it.
The glory that God gave to Jesus as His Son, Jesus gave to us, so that we can be one with God, just as Jesus is One with God, and why, so that the world may believe and have the exact same thing! This unity is not just waiting for us in Heaven; it is for us right now! Carnal minds are unable to grasp this Truth, but we now have the mind of Christ that Authored it! We have the glory of Christ and we are now one with Christ, so even if we don’t understand it fully yet, who cares? Our Lord understands fully and Jesus is able to allow us to believe and accept it, far above what the carnal mind can believe or ask for! The Anointed mind that God has allowed us to become one with knows that we are filled with the fullness of God! It knows that the full breadth, length, height, and depth of God’s love now abides within us! We have Jesus living within us and He knows exactly how to use the love of God that passes all understanding. We are never alone, we have the fullness of God within us at all times and we have Jesus Who has always lived in the fullness of God within us! Together and in the power of Their might we are more than conquerors!
