a cop-out on 7od, and *e won;t accept that.If &ou belie)e the ord 3esus %hrist is
&our *ealer and &ou want to be healed, thencall 3esus &our *ealer. Be specific about it. Call
the ord 3esus %hrist &our *ealer.
Someone ma& sa&, ?Brother Nor)el, I ha)eto ha)e a miracle.? 9ell, the ord 3esus %hristis a Airacle-worker *e has miracle power,and it is a free 'ift to the church.
Your 'ind and 'outh Can )e Your Worst *nemy

/he reason that is true is that sometimes
