Healing
Many believers are frustrated because they ‘know’ what the Word says but they don’t experience the results they think they should.
Within the heart of every believer there exist the divine resources to change our destinies.

1. Attend to the Word: My son, attend to my words; incline your ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. (Prov. 4:20-22)
