Yes, it would be easier, but it’s also very hard. The wrongs we’ve done, or had done to us, or mistakes we’ve made, are things we hope to fix, so we carry them around with us! The weight makes us sick, depressed, and then wonder why the Lord hasn’t healed us yet, but we haven’t cooperated in our healing yet. Remember the Blind man Joh 9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
Joh 9:7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
Joh 9:8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
Joh 9:9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
Joh 9:10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
Joh 9:11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
He not only had to allow Jesus to put mud made with spit on his eyes, but then he had to go to a certain pool and wash it off. Those actions were His participation.
What if he hadn’t washed at that pool? What if those who Jesus said to pick up their beds and walk, didn’t get up? What if they didn’t recognize their participation requirement? I’m looking for mine.
