Thirty-eight years is a long time to wait for something to change. The Bible tells of a pool in the town of Bethesda in Jerusalem where crippled people would be brought in hopes of being healed when the waters were stirred. One day, on the Sabbath, Jesus walked near the pool and spoke to a man who had been coming to the pool for thirty-eight years but was
still not healed. The man was crippled and had no hope. With a word, Jesus healed him (John 5:8-9). In a moment, his circumstances were changed!
The devil would like for us to believe that our troubling circumstances will never change.
Please remember that the devil is a liar. Jesus said, “He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” (John 8:44).
Today as you fast and pray, break the hold of hopelessness off of your life in Jesus’ name.
Ask the Lord for a breakthrough. Perhaps you are praying for the work of the enemy to cease in an area of your life or in the life of a loved one. Perhaps you are praying for things to change for your son or daughter. I want to encourage you that even if this issue has been going on for a very long time, Jesus has the power to break it. No matter how hopeless the
enemy wants you to feel, there is always hope with Jesus. One word from God can change your situation. It’s never too late for a miracle!
As Paul said, “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Romans 15:13).
