Get up Quickly

Get Up Quickly
Chapter 7

When Jesus asked the man who was sick for thirty-eight years if he wanted to be well, the man responded by giving excuses as to why he had not yet made it down to the healing pool. And yet, when Jesus released the the Word - "Get up" - the man found the willingness to try again. The Scripture reads, "Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk" (John 5:9). The Word of God mixed with the man's small faith and willingness to try is what freed him. It is what freed Peter. And it can free you.

If God is saying, "Get up quickly," then why not just try and see what happens? You can do it. You can make that decision to try. (p 135)

Mile Marker:

Do you sends God telling you to "Get up quickly" in some areas of your life? What are some of the chains that make doing it seem impossible?

Charting your Course:

Ask God for help and the courage to try.
