Raised from Sickness Through Prayer
By M. H. Leonard
Bro. Smith : I am not weary of the way. My trust is in the God of Israel; he will save us. The Lord is soon coming; then we shall see him as he is—our lovely Saviour that has redeemed us. I believe God hears the cries of his children and will answer their prayers when in accordance with his word. James says: "The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up;" also, "Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another that ye may be healed." I would say to my brethren abroad, that in answer to prayer, God has raised me up from a sick bed. My disease was the lung fever. While it was raging, my good brethren came in, and with my family prayed earnestly for my recovery. The Lord heard prayer. I immediately got up and dressed myself, when a few minutes before, it was with much difficulty and pain that I was moved in bed. Praise the Lord for his goodness to me. The third angel is doing his work. Soon the harvest will be past and the summer ended; let us see that our souls are saved. Yours in the Lord,
M. H. LEONARD.
