Have you ever been in a situation where there was an opportunity in front of you that only one person could get it?  —Like the perfect job that hundreds of people apply for, that would change your life!  
This lesson examines the story of the crippled man in John 5 who Jesus asked, “Do you want to be made well?” The man didn’t really answer the question!  He just recounted the reasons why he could not be healed!
“After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”” John 5:1-7 NKJV
Thankfully, Jesus bypassed the obstacles and worked a miracle.  Let’s learn to guard our hearts and minds from accepting crippling thoughts such as “I don’t know the right people… I’m can’t do this… I’m not good enough… I don’t have the right education… I want to—but I can’t” that prevent us from receiving our miracles from God!
