System Override
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (LB)
The first lesson from John 5:1-11 is That God Will Use People To Lift You. The second thing is God Will Override People To Lift You.

Heaven’s Methods
John 5:4 “for an angel of the Lord went down into the pool at appointed seasons and stirred up the water; the first one to go in after the water was stirred was healed of his disease.]” (AMP).
God has put certain systems in place, and when these systems work, it is still a miracle. And it is because it is God who put these systems in place, the miracle is automatic. In other words, it does not require an intervention. Read the rest of this entry
People. People. People.
John 5:7-8 “I can’t, sir,” the sick man said, “for I have no one to put me into the pool when the water bubbles up. Someone else always gets there ahead of me.” Jesus told him, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and walk!”
God will always use people to lift you up. God will connect you to great men and women that will lift you up. However, it is important to note that sometimes greatness is not necessarily physical or financial. Read the rest of this entry
Lifted
Acts 4:18-20 “So they called the apostles back in and commanded them never again to speak or teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, “Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard.”
We will kick off today’s devotional by just spending some time in reading God’s Word. I want you to read it aloud and let God’s Word just explode on the inside of you. I cannot count how many times I have read this passage of Scripture and I am sure you have read it a number of times too. Read the rest of this entry
By The Spirit
Zechariah 4:6 “Then he said to me, “This [continuous supply of oil] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel [prince of Judah], saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of whom the oil is a symbol],’ says the Lord of hosts.” (AMP)
Your story will be that of divine lifting as God Himself will lift you up in the Name of Jesus. However, it is important to note there are certain things spiritually that resist the lifting up of people’s heads. There are certain altars that resist people from lifting up their heads.

Valuable
Acts 13:36 “…David… passionately served God’s purpose for his generation… doing God’s will by serving the people of his time… completed the work God set out for him…” (TPT, GW, MSG).
As God lifts you from a lower level to a higher level mentally, emotionally, financially, spiritually, and educationally note that Not All Addition Leads To Increase And Not All Subtraction Leads to Decrease. Very often, we are afraid to subtract because we think it will lead to decrease, or we are eager to add because we think it will lead to increase. Read the rest of this entry
Youth
Ecclesiastes 12:1 “Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them.” (NKJV)
Youth signifies energy. The lesson for us from this Scripture is that the time to do your best work, the best time to serve God is when you have the best energy. When should you pray, should it be in the morning or at night? Read the rest of this entry
