One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years. When JESUS saw him and knew he had been ill for a long time, HE asked him, “Would you like to get well?” “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!”

The LORD has spoken!”

‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭24‬:‭12‬-‭13‬ ‭“May the LORD judge between us. Perhaps the LORD will punish you for what you are trying to do to me, but I will never harm you. As that old proverb says, “From evil people come evil deeds.” So you can be sure I will never harm you.”

‭‭Acts‬ 10‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ “He saw the sky open, and something like a large sheet was let down by its four corners. In the sheet were all sorts of animals, reptiles, and birds. Then a voice said to him, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat them.” “No, LORD” Peter declared. “I have never eaten anything that our Jewish laws have declared impure and unclean.” But the voice spoke again: “Do not call something unclean if GOD has made it clean.” The same vision was repeated three times. Then the sheet was suddenly pulled up to heaven.”

Proverbs 8:6-11 “Listen to me! For I have important things to tell you. Everything I say is right, for I speak the truth and detest every kind of deception. My advice is wholesome.

Choose my instruction rather than silver, and knowledge rather than pure gold. For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies. Nothing you desire can compare with it.”

Lamentations 3:25-28 “The LORD is good to those who depend on HIM, to those who search for HIM. So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the LORD. And it is good for people to submit at an early age to the yoke of HIS discipline: Let them sit alone in silence beneath the LORD'S demands.”

Why did they waste their time with futile plans? The kings of the earth prepared for battle; the rulers gathered together against the LORD and against HIS MESSIAH.' “In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilate the governor, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were all united against JESUS, YOUR holy servant, whom YOU anointed. But everything they did was determined beforehand according to YOUR will.”

Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the MASTER to use you for every good work.”

It was JESUS, but she didn't recognize HIM. “Dear woman, why are you crying?” JESUS asked her. “Who are you looking for?” She thought HE was the gardener. “Sir,” she said, “if you have taken HIM away, tell me where you have put HIM, and I will go and get HIM.” “Mary!” JESUS said. She turned to HIM and cried out, “Rabboni!” (which is Hebrew for “Teacher”).

Joshua 10:12-14 “On the day the LORD gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the LORD in front of all the people of Israel. He said, “Let the sun stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.” So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies. Is this event not recorded in The Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and it did not set as on a normal day. There has never been a day like this one before or since, when the LORD answered such a prayer. Surely the LORD fought for Israel that day!”

In the image of GOD he created them; male and female HE created them.”

As a result, Jacob became very wealthy, with large flocks of sheep and goats, female and male servants, and many camels and donkeys.”

Again JESUS placed HIS hands on the man's eyes, and he saw distinctly. He was cured and could see everything clearly.”

HE noticed two empty boats at the water's edge, for the fishermen had left them and were washing their nets. Stepping into one of the boats, JESUS asked Simon, its owner, to push it out into the water. So HE sat in the boat and taught the crowds from there. When HE had finished speaking, HE said to Simon, “Now go out where it is deeper, and let down your nets to catch some fish.” “MASTER,” Simon replied, “we worked hard all last night and didn't catch a thing. But if YOU say so, I'll let the nets down again.” And this time their nets were so full of fish they began to tear! A shout for help brought their partners in the other boat, and soon both boats were filled with fish and on the verge of sinking.”
