John 9:6 (NKJV) 6 When He had said these things, He spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva; and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay.
Jesus took His saliva and mixed it with the dirt and made clay. He then put it on the eyes of the blind man.
The blind man needed to do something before his miracle would come. He needed to obey the voice of Jesus. Until He took the step that Jesus told Him to take, he was still blind with mud on his eyes.
What step did the blind man need to take before he could see?
John 9:7 (NKJV) 7 And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he went and washed, and came back seeing.
He had to go and wash in the pool.
The blind man went and did what Jesus told Him to do and came back seeing. He didn’t see before that. He didn’t see on the way there, but after he went and did what he was told, he could see.
How many of us today are standing around with mud still in our eyes because we never made it to the pool? We got half way there and said, ” I don’t know, this it too hard” and we’re just walking around with an incomplete victory or miracle. We need to finish the steps so that we can receive a miracle or victory.
We know what we need to do, so what are we waiting for? Do we want what Jesus already wants for us? Healing, deliverance, salvation, financial breakthrough, growing business or ministry, restored marriage or family, etc. Or are we waiting on Him to take our steps for us?
He didn’t do it for the blind man, and He will not do it for us. There are steps that only we can take.
Maybe we need to take a step in giving. Maybe it’s a step in saying no to people that pull on us. Or it could be a step of saying yes to something that we have never done before. Maybe it is a change in the way we carry ourselves, our language, our attitude, etc. Follow the Holy Spirit’s promptings and take the step.
Our prayers are with you!
