Dont pay for your healing. God gives it freely to all that freely comes to him. Don't listen to those around you. Everyone lives with too much doubt. After watching Emmanuel TV, which was generously shared as a free satellite channel for the world to learn more about miracle healing. Remember, dont pay for spiritual healing ! 1 Like |
