WILT THOU BE MADE WHOLE?

I pray you to remember that it is yours to will, for Christ said to the impotent man "wilt thou be made whole?" Thou canst not make thyself whole, but thou canst will and wish to be made whole. God's Holy Spirit has given to many of you to will and to do according to His good pleasure. We do not get saved against our will, God drags nobody to heaven by the ears. There must be in you a willing mind consenting to the work of sovereign grace, and if it be there I want you to exercise it straight away, as Christ wished this man to exercise it, "wilt thou be made whole?" hast thou any wish that way? any desire or longing for healing? I want to stir this fire and make it burn, and if there be only a spark of desire I would breathe on it to make it into a great flame. Paul said "to will is present with me, but how to perform that which is good I find not." I believe that there are many who have the will to be saved, God be thanked for that.
"Wilt thou be made whole?" The question is not, "wilt thou be put into yonder pool?" but "wilt thou be made whole?" the question is not "wilt thou take this medicine? wilt thou that I should do this or that for thee?" but "wilt thou be made whole?" Have you come to this, that you are willing to be saved in God's way, in Christ's way? One says " I want to have a dream " dear soul, do not want any dreams, they are only dreams, another says "I want to see a vision." my dear friend, there is nothing in the plan of salvation about seeing visions. "I want to hear a voice," says one, well, hear my voice then, and may God The Holy Ghost make you to hear the voice of His Word through me!-"but I want"- oh! yes, you want, you know not what you want, like many a silly child that has it's fads and it's fancies, and it's whims and wishes. Oh that all were willing to be saved by the simple plan of believe and live! If this be God's way, who art thou that He should make a new way for thee? But dear friends do not set up your own notion about how you ought to be saved. Can you find any two people who were saved in the same way? God does not make converts as men make steel pens, a gross in a box all the same. Nay, nay, but in each case there is a living man created, and every living man, and every living animal, every living plant is somewhat different from every other of it's kind and you must not look for unifomity in the work of regeneration. "Wilt thou be made whole?" Come dost thou desire pardon for sin? Dost thou long for a new heart, and a right spirit? If so, leave off disputing as to how thou art to get them, and do what Christ tells thee to do.
