I'll release you no later than 1215, 4 or 5 minutes, maybe before.

I read from the King James Version of the Bible.

If you have it, you may read along with me.

Let me say hello to those of you outside, you're part of us, the overflow room.

Sorry I can't see all of you, but God bless you, bless you, bless you as we worship.

The spirit of God is everywhere at the same time.

So it's in every room where people are gathered.

And those of you online, the seniors who don't make it every night, wherever you are, God bless you.

I met a lady last night who came 12 hours, she traveled to come to the meeting.

Those of you who have no church, you're worshiping in somebody's house, you're under a tree, you're somewhere, but you're connected, God bless you.

And may the Lord wrap his arms around you and comfort you.

I'll let you know that 1 day you will worship him face to face in heaven.

After this there was a feast of the Jews and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having 5 porches.

In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk.

A blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool and troubled the water.

Whosoever then first, after the troubling of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

And a certain man was there which had an infirmity 30 and 8 years.

When Jesus saw him lie and knew he had been now a long time in that case, he said unto him, will thou be made whole?

Keep in mind in verse 3, in these lay a great multitude of impotent folk.

There was a great multitude of sick people at that pool.

When he made Adam or when he made Eve, Adam was in a deep sleep and in the Bible, sleep is death.

God made the first family, but he saves individually.

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man.

When the water is troubled, to put me into the pool.

But while I'm coming, another step is down before me.

He's looking into the face of Jesus, who is God, who is the creator, and he said, Sir, I have no man.

Sometimes you and I feel helpless, unloved, unwanted, unsupported, abandoned.

And Jesus stands in front of us and asks us, will thou be made whole?

And I've got another 1 coming later in the sermon.

The impotent mass told him, I have no man.

Jesus said unto him, rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

Many of us are where we are, we're waiting for someone to lift us up.

In that effort, you'll be surprised the power you have.

Jesus saith unto him, rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

Now he had to make a decision to obey or disobey.

In other words, he had to exercise the will.

Don't say anything is hard because you hear yourself.

Don't say it is hard because when you get to it, it will be hard because you made it hard.

When Jesus said, rise, take up thy bed and walk, immediately the man was made whole and took up his bed and walked.

Eloi said, he willed to walk and he walked.

Let me say it again, he willed to walk For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, whoever wills to look to Jesus, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Before we get to Mark 10, let me just say, of all the people in South Africa, God may have his eyes on you to do something special for you.

Of all the people in the Western Cape, God may have his eye on you.

Despite the multitude, let's scale it down.

Of all the people in Athlon, God may have his eye on you.

Of all the people at Riverside, God may have his eye on you.

Of all the people in your family, God may have his eye on you.

And may God constantly pour His words into my mouth.
