Today, we bring you a message from Pastor Joel Osteen titled “The Man Who Begged for Change… and Got It.”
Pastor Joel teaches us in this message about the man who begged for change and got it. There was a man who had been crippled since birth. Every morning, people would carry him to the gate of the temple so that he could beg. He’d been doing this for years. All he had known was to get up, go to the temple, and ask people for money. He was stuck in a negative routine, just going through the motions of life, not expecting anything to change. He had an excuse for why he was in the negative routine: he was crippled. One day Peter and John were headed up to the temple to pray. As they passed through the gate, the crippled man held up his cup and asked them for some money. Peter stopped and looked at the man. The man looked up and thought he was going to get a gift, but Peter and John prayed for him to start walking again.
We have to know that no matter what negative cycle we are in, God can change any situation. Peter did not ask the man for permission but prayed for him. Peter took the man by the right hand and pulled him; that is how God is going to pull us up and change our situations. We have to know that depending on God is the most important thing we have to do. Our current situation is not our final situation because God is always working behind the scenes to make our lives better. It will come as a surprise, but we have to do our part, which is depending on God.
