I'm going to just let God do what he wants to do in this place. God told me that I'm going

to send some people into the room who've been sitting gone, something they need to be

carrying. It'll make sense if we get to the message. But I hear God saying that I'm sending

some ideas and some businesses and some books that somebody's been sitting on. Somebody's

been sitting on it. They've been laying on it and I want them to know that it's time

and we'll get there and we'll pray and we'll go home. John, five and six. This is not an

unfamiliar text but I saw something when I was studying that I think is going to speak

and sitting by the pool at Bethesda when Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he already

had been in that condition a long time. He said to him, do you want to be made well?

The sick man answered him, sir, I have no men to put me into the pool when the water

is stirred up. But while I am coming, another steps down before me. And Jesus says to him,

rise, take up your bed and walk. And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed and walked

and that day was the Sabbath. That's important because that means in order to heal him that

Jesus broke some rules. And that's important because he shouldn't be carrying anything

on the Sabbath but when God calls you to start carrying what you have been sitting on,

it doesn't matter what the rules and the boundaries think about it. It says the Jews

therefore said to him who was cured, it is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to

carry your bed. And he answered them and he said, he who made me well said to me, take

up your bed and walk. In other words, I don't have to have authority that you understand
