00:11:39.129 --> 00:11:40.750
prayed<00:11:39.190><c> earnestly</c><00:11:39.690><c> for</c><00:11:39.970><c> her.</c>

00:11:42.450 --> 00:11:46.549
And<00:11:42.909><c> the</c><00:11:43.090><c> doctors</c><00:11:43.429><c> were</c><00:11:43.730><c> amazed</c><00:11:44.289><c> when</c><00:11:44.529><c> they</c><00:11:44.789><c> came</c><00:11:44.970><c> to</c><00:11:45.230><c> examine</c><00:11:45.610><c> her.</c>

00:11:47.429 --> 00:11:51.409
Because<00:11:47.909><c> the</c><00:11:48.250><c> muscle</c><00:11:48.610><c> tissue</c><00:11:48.889><c> in</c><00:11:49.029><c> her</c><00:11:49.230><c> leg</c><00:11:49.370><c> had</c><00:11:49.590><c> begun</c><00:11:49.789><c> to</c><00:11:50.090><c> reconstitute</c><00:11:50.710><c> itself</c><00:11:51.169><c> in</c>

00:11:51.409 --> 00:11:52.570

00:11:52.570 --> 00:11:55.889

00:11:55.889 --> 00:11:56.990
this<00:11:56.149><c> kind</c><00:11:56.330><c> of</c><00:11:56.450><c> thing</c><00:11:56.549><c> should</c><00:11:56.710><c> happen.</c>

00:11:57.389 --> 00:12:00.789
The<00:11:57.590><c> muscle</c><00:11:57.769><c> didn't</c><00:11:57.970><c> have</c><00:11:58.230><c> to</c><00:11:58.389><c> even</c><00:11:58.590><c> be</c><00:11:59.009><c> removed</c><00:11:59.330><c> from</c><00:11:59.549><c> the</c><00:11:59.789><c> shoulder</c><00:12:00.009><c> and</c><00:12:00.250><c> implanted</c><00:12:00.590><c> in</c>

00:12:05.809 --> 00:12:08.450
Does<00:12:05.950><c> God</c><00:12:06.149><c> answer</c><00:12:06.470><c> our</c><00:12:06.710><c> prayers</c><00:12:07.029><c> concerning</c><00:12:07.509><c> healing?</c>

00:12:11.649 --> 00:12:15.490
Well,<00:12:12.389><c> brethren</c><00:12:12.429><c> and</c><00:12:12.690><c> sisters,</c><00:12:13.250><c> you</c><00:12:13.250><c> also</c><00:12:13.750><c> can</c><00:12:14.629><c> add</c><00:12:15.070><c> to</c><00:12:15.210><c> that</c>

00:12:15.490 --> 00:12:17.730

00:12:19.269 --> 00:12:21.490
and<00:12:19.330><c> the</c><00:12:19.509><c> answer</c><00:12:19.769><c> has</c><00:12:19.970><c> been</c><00:12:20.169><c> no.</c>

00:12:22.730 --> 00:12:25.210
How<00:12:22.909><c> do</c><00:12:23.070><c> we</c><00:12:23.269><c> reconcile</c><00:12:23.889><c> this?</c>

00:12:29.269 --> 00:12:31.690
The<00:12:29.610><c> answer,</c><00:12:30.009><c> it</c><00:12:30.009><c> seems</c><00:12:30.370><c> to</c><00:12:30.529><c> me,</c><00:12:30.830><c> brethren</c><00:12:30.970><c> and</c><00:12:31.230><c> sisters,</c><00:12:31.490><c> is</c>

00:12:31.690 --> 00:12:33.549
not<00:12:32.009><c> merely</c><00:12:32.409><c> in</c><00:12:32.629><c> a</c><00:12:32.830><c> resignation</c>

00:12:37.190 --> 00:12:39.590
Oh<00:12:37.730><c> yes,</c><00:12:37.950><c> I</c><00:12:38.009><c> think</c><00:12:38.210><c> ultimately</c><00:12:38.629><c> that's</c><00:12:38.990><c> the</c><00:12:39.169><c> answer.</c>

00:12:39.889 --> 00:12:43.370
But<00:12:40.029><c> the</c><00:12:40.149><c> reason</c><00:12:40.450><c> I</c><00:12:41.090><c> phrase</c><00:12:41.490><c> it</c><00:12:41.710><c> in</c><00:12:41.769><c> the</c><00:12:41.929><c> negative</c><00:12:42.230><c> is</c><00:12:42.909><c> because</c>

00:12:43.370 --> 00:12:44.610
I<00:12:43.570><c> think,</c><00:12:44.029><c> brethren</c><00:12:44.110><c> and</c><00:12:44.350><c> sisters,</c>
