couragement cry out, We'll what's
the USE but the Word does not re
cord where Jesus ever answered thus
Jesus has compassion, SO that when
ever we pour cut our supplication to
Him, He always stops to hear our cry
The blind can says Jesus, Son OF
David. have mere en- me- and Jesus
Immediately healed him.
He told the lepers to go show them
selves to TIE prio 5ts and to do this
according to the eity laws that meant
death, but it is recorded they mad
faith and started, and on the way they
were healed.
The application now was, you never
saw a man start to do the bidding uf
God but that Goo healed him on tn"
way. and that all the feeling that IS
necessary for man to have that he
NAV know he 5 healed. will come. =
that individual in duo time.
Now CONES the part of this healing
story that portrays the gratitude as
we'll as the ingratitude Of the healed
lepers
Only one of the ten. the moment Re
was conscious of the fact that he had
been healed ever went back to Jesus
to thank Him for the kindness.
Now what became of these three
men. All returned to their business.
A man who is exiled by i'll health
from his business can tell you what it
means. Do you k, W, that there are
enough preachers alone, who have APP
piled to get into the Colorado Method
list conference to refill the whole ter
ritory if it was completely depopulated
and it is true OF every other denom-
ination.
If it is hard for you to believe this.
go out and see for Yourself.
1t is pathetic to be sick because of
our own foolishness. but when you
come TO a sickness that is incuraole
it becomes apathetic thing. AS yet nc
physician or consultation OF phyai
clans give any hope of ef1ecting
leprosy cure.
Now we return to the physicl'ly
