When he thus spoken he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with clay. And said to him Go wash in the pool of Siloam (John 9:6,7)
This man was blind from birth. Folks have limited God to their denomination. God is bigger than your denomination. Go wash in the pool of Siloam, the trouble is we’ve washed in many places and are still dirty and blind. This man had to go to Siloam. It’s where all men God to receive their sight.
Saul after he met Jesus went to his Siloam there he was baptised in the name and received his sight. The disciples of Jesus were commanded too to go to the river, Pentecost and receive their sight. From that day onward they had revelation that turned the world upside down.
“Sent” is a place in the spirit, the place of empowerment, sight, life and yes its God’s bathroom. Have you washed there? What river did you wash in last night?
A few years ago I received the Holy Ghost. I didn’t want it! I told God I don’t understand that kind of stuff! That night I went to a meeting the preacher said, “stand up.” I stood. Then he said, “receive the Holy Ghost!” and I received the Holy Ghost. I shook from head to toe and was like a drunk man. For one hour I talked in tongues. I never had a wash like that night before. That day God took the MUD off my eyes and I saw Jesus. I became a new creation. I know it works, my testimony, “once I was blind but now I see!”
What have you seen that before you were blinded too? Friend maybe you are asking God for power to do something for the Lord. You have to go a place called “sent,” Pentecost! and if It was important for the disciples to go there, then its important for you and for me to go there. We too must wash in the pool of Pentecost. Don’t believe the devil’s lie that Pentecost is a denomination and only for certain folks, No, Pentecost is a dimension and is for all folks. You have to get there to be free from what religion has stuck on you. “MUD” from dead things, earthly things. MUD from carnal reasoning about spiritual things, like, “You don’t need the Holy Ghost” and “you don’t need to speak in other tongues” and “tongues is of the devil” MUD! It’s what man made religion has put on you to make you “blind from birth!”
Siloam means “Sent” You’ve been “begging” God for more of this and more of that, but you have not gone to “Sent.” All men born into something, without being born of “water and Spirit” are merely born in MUD. (John 3:5) Born blind! We have to go to this place where we see Jesus who is truth then we can see the way ahead and can be sent. Only this river can open a blind man’s eyes.
Is this not he who sat and begged?(V8). God showed me, when you go to the river you no longer are dirty, you are no longer a beggar and you are no longer blind… Truth has come to you. That’s the power of Pentecost….
God find your pool..

Paul, I love testimonies that involve powerful Spirit-baptisms! That kind of initial experience convinces and empowers, and leaves no space for doubt. God bless!
The Lord bless you brother Dennis. Thank you for your comment and encouragement today. Its feels good walking in the light!.
There is nothing like the baptism of the Holy Spirit! Being baptized in the Holy Spirit really puts into perspective of what happened at Pentecost. God’s people need to get ready for an outpouring like none other. This reminds me of time when a proclaimed Baptist man told me that he did not want to be around us tongue talkers. Funny, two years after he said that, I spoke over him and he received the baptism and then he stood up and started to speak out in tongues and many that were there were amazed. I told someone that night that when people don’t know something they are either scared of it or they speak against it because they have followed the routine of someone else. Great word today and I am encouraged about siloam. I needed this message today so that I can evaluate what I am being blinded to. I need to have my spiritual eyes cleaned. Sometimes we can get so dirty in our spiritual eyes that are natural eyes can’t see either. Be Blessed my brother.
I remember the day I was baptized in the Holy Spirit. I was in my room. I had been seeking for two weeks but had been blocking myself from receiving through fear and unbelief. That day I was deep in prayer and Jesus baptized me in His Holy Spirit. I spoke in tongues for a long time. When I opened my eyes I was on my back on the bed. Since that day Holy Spirit has taken me on many many adventures! Thanks Paul for the reminder!
hallelujah…A testimony to God’s power….UNLIMITED!
