Remember The Seven Fold Curse

Do you keep falling back into the same old trap, that one pesky little sin you just can't seem to get rid of, here is the answer?

Walter Reed Naval Hospital, Bethesda, MD takes its name from this story.

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. John 5:2-4 (KJV)

This pool has a history of miracles.

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steps down before me. John : 5-7

This guy had a problem he couldn’t reach the water without help?

Jesus said unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. John 5:8-9 (KJV)

Jesus solved all his problems. He is healed and headed home, all the sudden a new problem pops up?

The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 13 And he that was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. John 5:10-13 (KJV)

He was caught carrying a bed on the sabbath, and put the blame on Jesus.

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. John 5:14

Jesus found him and unlike almost every other miracle of healing Jesus did this dude doesn’t thank Him of give thanks to God, nothing?

And Jesus gives him a warning, if you continue in sin, something far worse than being crippled will come upon you?

So what does He do, what all rats do, he turns in Jesus to the authorities?

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. 16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
John 5:15-16 (KJV)

It will be interesting to know what happened to this dude, I personally don’t think it turned out to well for him.

Just like Judas, Jesus knew his heart.

Never forget the seven-fold curse, attached to returning to your former way of life?

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. Matt 12:43-45 (KJV)
