Jesus asked the man at the pool of Bethesda ‘do you want to be healed?’ Sounds like a cruel question, so what was Jesus doing here?
Today we look at the meaning of the question ‘do you want to be healed’ in relation to our healing journeys and I’ll suggest 5 steps to help step out of any unconscious mindsets that are keeping you stuck.
The meaning of Bethesda is House of Mercy.
I believe the Holy Spirt is telling us though the story of the lame man healed at the pool of Bethesda, that if we want a healing, we find it in the house of God, the Church.
Today I will show you 5 reasons why healing is found in the Church.
I’ve been in church nearly my whole life. In the past 20 years of my (healing) journey, I have learned to make God’s house foundational, despite feelings and experiences.

The character of Ruth proves that unfair circumstances don’t need to disadvantage you on your healing journey.
Today’s blog post considers the story or Ruth. If you’re believing God for a breakthrough, then adopting the following 4 characteristics of Ruth will increase your chances to receive.
I’m sure you’re familiar with the story of the tortoise and the hare? The tortoise puts one foot in front of the other and does his best. He doesn’t complain about the unfairness of the race or compare himself to his competitor.
He is so unlikely to win against a hare yet his character and attitude win him the race.

Today’s post is about how to receive God’s grace.
I think you’ll agree it’s impossible to journey through illness without God’s grace, but it doesn’t automatically fall through the sky.
Today I share the best and most effective way to receive God’s grace. Here’s what happened in my situation:
Many years ago, when my body was so riddled with pain that even getting dressed or showered seemed to take all day (and on some days, not at all).
I was in a constant place of defeat and lack (because I didn’t understand how to receive God’s grace.)
The Bible tells us to choose life, I didn’t know how to; the horror of my situation seemed greater than the power of grace.
Are you the same? Are you so overcome by the symptoms in your body, you’re in a constant state of struggle?
This post will teach you what a religious spirit is and how to recognise it in your own life. Divine healing is part of grace, so entertaining the religious spirit in any part of your life may slow you down and keep you stuck.
Healing is right the way through the Bible, beginning in the garden of Eden.
The Valley of Beracah, is the valley of blessing, that God has in your pathway, each time you’ve gone through a difficult trial.
Perhaps you’re not sure if such a reward has your name on it, perhaps it’s for a chosen few. Or maybe you’ve wondered what you need to do in order to access such a blessing?
By the end of this post, your faith for this two-fold blessing will increase as you understand more about God’s plan for you in this area.

Loneliness and chronic illness go hand in hand. But there is good news (and bad.)
Unfortunately, loneliness can contribute to the onset of an illness and can therefore certainly hinder the healing process. The good news however is that we can do something about it; (and it’s not what you think.)
By the end of this post, I hope you will be set free from the impact loneliness may have on your body as you realise just how simple the solution is. (Plus Your faith will increase which is always a bonus)
In the early days, I struggled on my own with very few people understanding the impact the pain was having on my mental state, making me feel even more isolated.
I wonder if you feel different because you can no longer join in with ‘life’ and the activities you once enjoyed with others have now stopped?

Have you given up hope that you’ll ever be well again? Perhaps you have a voice in your head telling you that hope is over-rated. I believe after reading this post you’ll have a fresh revelation of how to apply a Bible (or Elpis) hope to your journey.
You’ll be lifted from that place of despair to a place of excitement; from disappointment to dreaming and from weariness to living.
You can’t have faith, without having hope. Today I give you 5 steps you can take to apply Elpis hope to your world.
