That man is a picture of israel wandering in wilderness for 40 yrs because they refused to belive god’s promised land now if you are sick god already heals you and you don’t need to wait 38 yrs

Thanks Hannah but that is not my point. My point is to provide encouragement when someone falls to get back up and continue on.

This passage can also be seen as an example of a man who came every day to the pool with perservance for 38 years. Perservance being a fruit of the Spirit

I meant calvary94 not Hannah in my first response but thanks

Yes perseverance is a fruit but you don’t need to wait for that long anymore for receiving miracle because after jesus’s death it’s all finished on the cross

Christ finished it all on the cross. Praise the Lord for that. I don't come on to nofap to get into theological discussions but to provide encouragement to Christian Brothers and Sisters who struggle daily. Peace

Peace too man i have no intention like that but i am just afraid people will missunderstand you must wait long and long and patience then god will come but actually not

I would rather put my emphasis on the patience of God. In Christ He remains patient with us as he allows us to continue to return to out sin and to fight against it. His promises stand and call out for us to walk in freedom now.

Yet I am slow, and forgetful or even ignorant of the length and breath of his promises. But praise to Him for His faithfulness that he works His salvation out in my life and bringing me to deliverance.

Imagine if we had to wait 38 years for God to answer a prayer some of us would die beforehand.
