Introduction

We have all experienced moments where we feel overlooked, underestimated, and ignored. But today, I am here to prophesy that it's your turn now. Just like the man at the pool of Bethesda, you may have been overlooked and pushed aside, but your breakthrough is coming.

The Pool of Bethesda

This man, much like many of us, spent his days watching the water at the pool of Bethesda. He hoped for a ripple, a sign that it was his turn to receive a miracle. But time and time again, he missed it. Others would get ahead of him, and he would feel defeated. But today, the Lord says to you, "It's coming." Don't lose heart or grow weary, for in due season, you will reap if you do not give up.

Taking the Limits Off God

Sometimes, we limit God by expecting Him to work in the same way He has in the past. We become fixated on past experiences and manifestations, unable to see beyond them. But God is bigger than our expectations. He can use various methods to bless us. We must give Him the freedom to work in new ways and not restrict Him to our preconceived notions.

Persistence and Faith

This man's persistence was a key ingredient in his miracle. Despite missing his opportunity time and time again, he kept coming. He pressed through pain, disappointment, and discouragement. Today, I encourage you to keep moving forward. Even when you don't feel like it, keep pressing on. Movement is a sign that you are alive and still in the game.

The Power of Favor

Favor is a powerful force that can change our circumstances. It can open doors, elevate us, and bring blessings into our lives. When it's your turn, favor can put you at the front of the line, regardless of your qualifications or social standing. God delights in using the least likely to succeed, confounding the wise with His choices. So, get ready for a turnaround because favor is on its way.

Immediate Faith

Now is the time for immediate faith. We must believe that our breakthrough can happen right now, not in some distant future. Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Like the man at the pool, we must have faith that our healing, blessing, and breakthrough can happen in an instant.

God's Timing

When it's your season, God will bring you to the forefront. He will bless you in such a way that you become an example of His goodness and faithfulness. Just like David, who was anointed in the midst of his brethren, God will raise you up and make you shine. Don't be discouraged by past rejections or being overlooked by others. It's your turn now, and God is not ashamed of His anointed ones.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I want to remind you that it's your turn now. God has been watching you, and He has chosen you for this moment. Don't be angry or resentful towards others who may have received their blessings before you. Embrace your anointing and step into the season of favor and breakthrough that God has prepared for you. Keep moving forward, keep pressing on, and remember that your miracle is just around the corner.
