How He goes about cleansing a leper or healing a distant sick person is VERY DIFFERENT than how these things are attempted today. Perhaps if we pay attention to how Jesus successfully healed, we will gain an understanding as to why so […]
READ MORE Healing Reality 26: You don’t have to wait on your healing. God places no premium upon delay or denial of your healing requests. Healing can be and often is immediate: Matthew 8:3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately, his leprosy was cleansed. Today, let’s […]
