The man of Bethesda expected help from angels, but Jesus stepped in, saying, it's not their assignment to deal with your situation. Hoo-ha! Shayarbebebebe. Though whether we are in victim mode or have grown immune to signs and wonders, Jesus wants to lead us into a new way of knowing Him and the supernatural this season. Thank you, Jesus, for bringing, bringing us to shift the way You want us to shift, in order to bring us into all the good things You have for us. Thank you for listening. Bye for now.
