"Plead your own feebleness and inability to help
yourselves. This was the impotent man's plea at the pool of Bethesda.
John 5:6,7 "When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in
this condition for a long time, he asked him, 'Do you want to get well?'
'Sir,' the invalid replied, 'I have no one to help me into the pool when the
water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of
me.'
So say you, Lord, I have lain many years with this dead plagued heart, beside
the open fountain of your blood; I am unable to move to it of myself; I have
none to put me in: ordinances cannot do it; ministers cannot do it; you must
put to your helping hand, or else the work will remain unperformed."
