There was a Eagle as a baby fell from the nest and had broken his wing. A farmer found this Eagle and took him in and the eagle lived and lived among the hens in the farm and grew. He began to speak like the hens and never new he could fly. The farmer tried to release him but the eagle just would not fly away.
If that preacher would have told that cripple that his sins were forgive thru Jesus, now get up and walk, the spirit of God would have picked him up and he would have been healed and walked. No faith was in the man neither in the preacher.
