MEMORY VERSE
“And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.” (Isaiah 62: 2)
SCRIPTURE READING: John 5: 1-12 (KJV)
1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 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.
5 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 saith 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 steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith 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.
10 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?

Streams of Joy Thursday July 31, 2025 Devotional – MESSAGE
Our Focal Scripture tells the tale of the format of healing that prevailed in Bethesda before Jesus showed up. Prior to Jesus’ coming, an angel went down in certain seasons and stirred the water, and whosoever was first to get into the waters was healed of whatever disease they had. It was a matter of an angel arriving to stir the water, and a matter of who was first to enter into the water. There was a limiting protocol at the pool in Bethesda.
Friend, Jesus has come to set you free from the protocols in your Bethesda. In those places where there are limiting protocols that will naturally exclude you from your results, as surely as the Lord lives, El Roi has broken the protocols in your favour. Wherever there are limiting protocols that want to stop your rising, let El Roi arise and scatter it. Let El Roi arise and waive every protocol that says you will wait endlessly before your story changes.
The protocol in Bethesda was such that no matter how hard everyone tried, only one person could make progress after a long season of waiting. The protocol in Bethesda was a huge limitation on anyone who was in a hurry to break out of their situation. Hear me as I hear the Lord: every limiting protocol that says people will wait endlessly before anyone makes progress in your locale, I decree an end to that protocol.
Today, I institute a new protocol in your destiny journey. As soon as God says it, it will become your reality. As soon as God shows up, your story will change. As soon as you pray, El Roi will hear you. What others waited for, you will not wait for it. What others got by limiting protocols, you will get it by the mercies of God. Where others waited for protocol after protocol to be fulfilled, your case will be different from theirs.
The protocols that held others back will not hold you back. The protocols that limited others will not limit you.
DECLARATION:
My season of celebration will not be mixed with bitter tears, in Jesus’ name!
