John 5:6 (NIV)
6 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

I think that Jesus is asking the same of us. We initially would say, “oh yea”! But if we got well, we would be well. Think about it. This question should therefore be thought provoking for our own lives. Jesus would ask us the same thing, “do you really want…”


John 5:19 (NIV)
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; the can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.

If Jesus couldn’t do anything alone, how much more should we rely on the Father! O.k., that would be generally accepted by most if not all, but how about this, Jesus saw what the Father was doing. Did you get that? He SAW it! Jesus saw what the Father was doing. That is what we need to pray for – to see what the Father is doing! That means that at least some of the time we need to SEE the spirit realm. There are ways of seeing what God is doing because of the physical ramifications of the Father’s move, however, if we don’t have our eyes opened to the spirit realm, then we will surely miss many things that the Father is doing and thereby we won’t be able to do what the Father is doing.
