  • Someone asked Arthu Blessitt, "Why

    Someone asked Arthu Blessitt, "Why does God speak to you, but not me?". Arthur replied to the lady, "Did you ever feel an impulese to speak to someone about Jesus that you didn’t know?" She replied, "As a matter of fact I have." Arthur then said to her, "Start obeying that voice and it will…
