Spiritual Leprosy!
By Marian Flippo
Luke Chapter 5:
12-And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
13-And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
14-And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

Now this is a very interesting lesson! By law no one was allowed to touch a leper. There must have been a much bigger lesson here than meets the eye at first read! Jesus broke the Hebrew law? Or was something much deeper happening? Jesus wanted everyone to understand that Love was His motivator! He knew this man needed to be loved as much as he needed healing. Just think about all this leper had endured. He had to say unclean wherever he went by law! He was rejected by family, friends and his whole city. Do you understand how painfully lonely he must have been. Have you ever felt so alone that you cried yourself to sleep? Have you ever felt like a leper? No one wants to be near you? Such a heavy burden to carry your whole life! Now there is more to this lesson than that!
In leprosy it attaches to your nervous system.
You can no longer feel your body parts. Now this is a great revelation! Today we are plagued by emotional and spiritual leprosy! Our politicians can no longer feel that part of them that has died! They lack honesty! Every area of our society has a bad case of spiritual leprosy! Can you see this Truth everywhere around you? With leprosy you can get a virus or bacteria and not even know it! Part of you dies and becomes necrotic! If you can't feel also someone could take something from you and you would not even know it! Get on your knees and make sure you do not have any part of you with this disfiguring disease! We all need to pray about this very real problem!
