The MESSAGE

I will like you to listen very carefully. You must listen and collect keys here today that will enable you stand no matter the rage.

I am seeing somebody here today, the prayers you are going to pray today will change your story forever, in the name of Jesus.*

The Bible makes us to understand that there will be widespread health problems in the last days. It says it categorically. It did not say "there may be" or "there is a possibility". One of these is what we are experiencing now. It is actually a pestilence. But look at *Psalm 91*. That is why everyone must know it from memory. It is a very loaded but deep scripture.

*"Noisome pestilence"*
- Pestilence that will be making noise, is what we are experiencing now. So, there is silent pestilence, there is noiseless pestilence. There is noisome pestilence too. It has legs to walk in darkness. The pandemic has given the world a spiritual uppercut. It has peppered mankind into sometimes senseless stupor. It is just like in the days of Elijah when he locked up the heavens and put the key in his pocket and walked away. It was an easy thing to do.

But by the time he would come back three and a half years later to open the heavens, he discovered that malevolent forces, wicked forces had already entrenched themselves in the heavens and it was more difficult to open the place he had locked. Elijah that just said "well, for three and a half years, there will be no rain or dew but according to my word", when he came back, had to start praying serious prayers to get it opened again; because some wicked powers had hidden behind that punishment.

Same way a lot of malevolent powers have hidden behind this pandemic and therefore many churches had to go online for services.

The demons that attacked people during the lock down, if God opens your eyes to see, you would be scared. It is as if that lockdown was a demonic amplifier. Now, there is a noisy pestilence but the pestilence was raging but attaching all kinds of spirits behind it. So, there is a mobile pestilence and this one is an example of a mobile pestilence. The pestilence that walketh. There are strong men according to the scriptures, attached to each pestilence. There was a pestilence in the time of Israel and God opened the eyes of a prophet to see the spirits causing it. This is a very serious matter.

These spirits are very heartless and wicked. So, we need wicked prayers to confront those wicked spirits. These demons are armed with vultures, owls, serpents, swords, dust, horns, winds, venoms. Some who are spiritually sensitive see these things in the spirit. All the escalation in yahoo, ritual killings is a flow back from the pandemic spirit. All the lack of concern and care for human life is also a flow back from the pandemic. It has put much more fire upon this generation and has shaded the lives of the young ones with confusion and turned their brains upside down.

We need to pray. Most of you know what I am saying. It is easy to know it but you do not take any action. This generation now has become a generation where they think it is not necessary to go to school. Some are even saying that education is a scam. Disgrace and insanity are celebrated. Dignity and integrity are laughed to scorn. Most of the fame that is celebrated now is actually disgrace or indecency. Drug abuse is escalated. We do counselling here and we see parents bringing children here who have been turned upside down by drugs.

My major heartache is now that a lot of young ladies are getting involved, and they are running mad quicker than the boys. This generation describes prostitution as commercial runs. We have celebrations of ritualists who spray money anyhow in the public. We have ladies now who believe that not wearing underwear is okay. They have beaten Sodom and Gomorrah hands down. A generation of fake breasts, fake male organ, fake backside, marriages breaking down unashamedly. It is now difficult to know who your father or mother is.

And although we preach the gospel through the social media, the devil has converted it to a tool of terror and destruction; a tool which encourages psychiatric patients and proud and angry people to say all kinds of rubbish and nonsense. And among the youths, laziness has become an epidemic. Nobody wants to work hard. If you give them a salary, they say it is too small. A generation of "do what makes you happy". All these are a flowback.

There are spirits that this pandemic has brought among us. We need aggressive and wicked prayers to confront them. There are very strange things happening and happening. Strange infirmities are all over the place. This is why I want to pray one prayer. I want to counsel you that your amen should be the loudest where you are.

I am praying for you like this: every arrow fired by the pandemic into your life must backfire, in the name of Jesus.*

So we now have an array of attacks by the spirits of:
- Extreme poverty.
- Hunger.
- Death.
- Depression.
- Financial loss.
- Strange sickness and diseases.
- A terrible rise in alcoholism.
- A terrible rise in mental illness.
- Substance abuse.
- Increase in crime.
- Intense fear.
- Worries and anxieties.
- Unbelievable business losses.
- Very high level of parental stress.
- Physical, spiritual isolation.
- Increased rates of suicidal thoughts and suicide.
-  Misfired anger.
- Confusion.
- Loneliness.
- High level of violence.
- Emotional distress.

These are pandemic demons. They are spirits. So, it is not just one social program that you are going to do, that will resolve them. We need to spiritually address them. It is good to do the social programs also, but we need to pray. In my own experience as a minister, all the people that are taken to drug rehabilitation centres and got free, got free because they took medical care and they also ran to Jesus. So, eventually it was Jesus who set them free.

Some more pandemic spirits are:
- Homelessness.
- Massive loss of jobs.
- Terrible eating and sleeping habits.
- Persistent nightmares.
- Strange experiences.
- Prolonged negative moods.
- Sometimes extreme high and extreme low.
- Demon of hallucination.
- Emptiness.
- Loss of interest in activities that will move them forward.
- Laziness like I said before.
- Family separation.
- Sadness.
- Indecision and disorganisation.
- Increase in divorce.
- Elevated blood pressure.
- Plenty of unwanted teen pregnancies.
- The demon of fear of contacting covid.
- Animosity against everybody.
- Increase in family struggles.
- Social disorganisation.


All are demons from this pandemic. We are praying. Gradually we believe that God is taking the pandemic away. But, the pandemic has delivered plenty of strange children that we now have to deal with.

What do we do? What is the antidote?
I want to run through that very quickly before we now start prayers to confront all these spirits rising all over the place; and I want you to understand this very well, that the Bible says _"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"_

Meaning though we are walking about like men, but our weapons are not carnal. You could be fighting with carnal weapons. But there is a high level of weapons in the spiritual realm.

ANTIDOTES

1. Genuine conversion. Ensure that you are truly born again. Plenty of people coming to church are not born again and that is a serious problem for heaven because being born again is the foundation for divine blessings.

2. You must be addicted to the word of God. It means that you must engage in Bible meditation and memorization. The Bible says _"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."_ Are you weak in your Bible reading? You better pick up. Do not ever let a day pass you by without picking up the word of God. It must be your addiction.

3. You must be addicted to prayer; meaning that you must pray until prayer is no longer your character or habit but your addiction. Take all issues to God God prayers.

4. Determine to live a holy life and run away from sin at all costs.

5. Be consistent in your fellowship with the saints. Do not neglect the fellowship of the saints.

6. You must be disciplined. You must bring discipline into your body, soul and spirit. Paul said _"I bring my body under, and subject my body to discipline"._

7. Make sure that your quiet time is consistent. Do not say you want to do one or two hours at a go, you will not be consistent. If it is 15 minutes you can do very well, do it well without distractions. And the best time for quiet time is in the morning when you wake up. I am not talking about family prayers, your personal quiet time is different from it.

8. Make sure you fast at least twice a week. Jesus said _"this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."_ Certain prayers will not shift until you fast.

9. Ensure that you have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and that you speak in tongues at least 15 minutes daily. If it can be longer, it is fine. Paul said _'I thank my God that i speak in tongues more than you all'._ There is power in speaking in tongues. The Bible says _"He that speaketh in an unknown tongues speaketh not to man but unto God. No man understandeth him but however in the spirit he is speaking mysteries"._ The devil understands all languages, except tongues.

10. Use the weapons of praise and worship. Be a praise worshipper. Engage in unhurried praise at home to God. Buy a hymn book and also sing from the normal praises and worship. I am giving you keys now, so that the strange children of the pandemic spirit will not touch you.

11. You must die to the flesh. Mr flesh must die in your life. You must get to a place where no matter how badly you are provoked, you can smile and walk away. That which they call the flesh must die. The more of the flesh in your life, the higher the ladder of the enemy to climb in. You may say 'but I do not get angry unless I am provoked', but it is when you are provoked and refuse to get angry that we know the anger is gone.

12. You must have a divine encounter. Spend time to pray. _'Father, I want to encounter you; visit me.'_ All the people in the Bible who had a divine encounter are those we are reading about today.

13. Make sure you complete your deliverance. Any area of your life you leave undelivered is an airport for the enemy to land. You must complete your deliverance.

14. Always encourage yourself in the Lord. There are so many discouraging things going around. But encourage yourself like David did. There are not many people who encourage people anymore. You must encourage yourself in the Lord and refuse to be discouraged.

15. Live a God dependent life. Depend on God. The Bible says _"I know whom I have believed and I am persuaded that He shall keep that which I have committed unto Him"_. Once you commit your life to God, He will keep you. _'He that keepeth Israel will neither slumber nor sleep'._ So if He that is keeping you is neither slumbering or sleeping, there is no problem that you should make you not to be able to sleep. The two of you cannot remain awake. So you sleep.

16. You must be broken. A broken and humble Christian. When God asks you to sit, you sit. When He says you should stand up, you stand. When He asks you to not talk you obey. When He says you should not eat, you obey. Become a broken Christian.

With these keys in your hands, all the strange children that this pandemic has delivered in his youthful pregnancy will not overshadow you.

PRAYER POINTS

_Pick any song of praises in your mouth and sing to the Lord]_

1. Powers assigned to tie me to a candle, die in the name of Jesus.

2. Powers receiving negative training against my life, you are liars, die in the name of Jesus.

3. Powers that want good people to forget me, die in the name of Jesus.

4. Powers that are saying I shall always be the tail, you are liars, die in the name of Jesus.

I found myself working with my former boss whom I left 6 yrs ago. In that dream, she wasn't happy with me and she was doing all her best to frustrate me to the extent of employing a new person to do part of my job one day, she called for a meeting and I gave an excuse not to attend the meeting then I walked away. My phone rang and the new person my boss employed put phone on speaker and I heard everything. The meeting was called bcos there's a project to be carried out and this my old boss called the new person she just employed to lead the project but the person declined saying she doesn't have enough experience like me to do the project and she recommended me, some staff weren't happy and someone stood up and talked to them that why are they jealous of me, that they should accept that I am a good person then everybody stood up and clapped for me and I woke.

God morning man if God please help me., I have been a lost member of this great ministry, I just found my way back... Life has never been easy on me and I must admit I felt like I gave up...
last night I had a dream my late farther came to visit me.
It started like this, It was like I went back to one of the old houses where I grew up, like I went to pick some clothes i left there, immediately I go there I saw my clothes I got naked and started to change my clothes even though one of the girls i knew in the house back then was standing behind me I really didn’t care and as she was getting ready to go out she said oh you guys left already, we would visit your house on Sunday, I said okay and she left. I kept changing my clothes when I looked out the door and saw my Dad coming for the first time I dreamt about. Him walking like he was sick coz he was sick for years before he died, he was walking normal which is something I can’t even remember of him, when he got close to me he asked me to look into the passage and not at him cos it was like I was the only one seeing him, he didn’t want people to notice who I was talking to, I smiled and looked into the passage and he stood behind me and started speaking a language that I struggled to understand. But at the end of it all I only said Amen in our language like he was praying for me, then he sat beside me, I asked if I could touch him it was like he felt my sadness and he got a bit sad and said yes go ahead you can touch me, immediately I touched him, I couldn’t control my tears, I started crying and covering my face then he stood up and left, immediately a friend of mine came out from the passage and asked who I was talking to, I couldn’t answer cos I was crying then I woke and felt really cold and Sad

  ?JUST BEGIN.
Posted by: ebankole - 03-03-2022, 02:04 AM - Forum: Education Center - No Replies

❤❤
JUST BEGIN.


Just after I received my fee structure from My University for my PhD, totalling N850,000 in 2012, I met my Dad, at Cooperative bank in Kaduna.

I explained to him that I had the admission letter and he smiled.

I told him however, "Baba, there is a problem. They need N850,000."

He held my hands, then slowly but reassuringly, said, *"Just Begin,* my son."

To ensure his point went home, he got into his account and gave me N14,000 in an account that had N20,000.

I was touched.

*I added N16000 and paid N30,000 into the account, and my journey to PhD began.*

Today, having reached the dream, I remember the words of my father.
*Just Begin....*

In everything you do, always remember, *JUST BEGIN.*

*Just begin, no matter how difficult it seems to be.*

It appeared to be difficult, but as time lapsed, I realised dad was right.

At some point before my defence, I gave up.

I still had a solid N300,000 to pay and they wouldn't give me a chance for my final defence.

*Then came a very unlikely help.*

I had supported a gentleman to undertake a project evaluation two times in the year.

I received his call cautiously asking me to meet him.

He was carrying a brown envelop in his hand.

He began, "Aliyu, you will forgive me if you find my action inappropriate. For two consecutive times you have given me a job without asking for a Cent. This is very unusual with many people. I did not know how to approach you, but I am deep with gratitude. Please accept my small gift."

I quickly peered into the envelope and saw they were two bundles, likely in hundreds.

He confirmed that it was N200,000.

I couldn't believe it.

The words of my father,
*"My son, just begin"* came to mind.

*Don't worry how it will end.*

*Just begin.*

If you are building a house, *just begin.*

If you are planning to buy land, *just begin.*

If you want to continue with your education, *just begin.*

If you want to pay dowry, *just begin.*

Nothing is more powerful than that advice.

*We just need to Have Faith and Begin.*

And I have revised this philosophy.

Whenever someone is doing something, I always encourage them to *Have Faith and Just keep trying.*

When things get thick, I always say, *keep walking.*

*No matter how slow Just keep Moving*

*If you Can't Walk then Crawl*

*Just Keep Moving*

When things are intimidating, *Ignore.*

*Persist and keep trying.*

*Don't give up on life just because your challenges appear to be insurmountable.*

*Do not be defeated before you begin.*

Whatever looks like a mountain will soon become an anthill...
*but only if you begin.*

Not long ago, someone asked me, "Aliyu, are we going to manage to build the office we want?"

My answer,
*"Let's just begin."*

*I believe in the power of Faith and Action (Starting) .*

No one Wins a race until they *respond* to the sound of the gun and begin.

*The secret lies in Beginning.*

Overtime, God has seen me through a number of projects because of this philosophy.

I have parcels of land that I acquired by simply paying N50,000...and, overtime, these have multiplied.

*I persuade you this day never to allow yourself to be threatened by the size of your problem.*

*The Journey of a Thousand Miles Starts with One Step*

*Begin in a small way to do something about it.*

*How Do You Eat an Elephant ?*
By Eating it *One Bit at a Time*

If it is lack of money do something small to get something for yourself.

*If it is a marital issue, look for a way to solve it.*

In whatsoever you face, *Just Begin.*

Even those with big debts can do something about it.

*Just begin by doing something little and it will shrink each day.*

I was not a millionaire, but sometime ago, I wanted to have a feeling of being one.

I drew a plan of how to hold a million in my account, at least for a few days.

After some months of beginning, I discovered it was possible.

*Three years and half of savings later, I got my first ever million.*

Even though I used it later on investments and expenses, it felt so good.

*Let's all Have Faith and Just Begin*.
*JUST BEGIN !*

*I hope someone here is encouraged by this little piece. If you have, it's not bad to share cos someone else might just need it.

ATTENTION!!! ATTESTATION!! ATTESTATION!

Wow, this is scary. Read and pass it on. We need to keep our girls safe. But it's applicable to all and sundry.


People are really crazy! If you are a girl or woman, take heed! If you are male and have a significant female in your life who you care about, whether it's your wife, your girlfriend, your daughter, your sister, your niece, your cousin, your next door neighbour, your friend, etc., pass this along! Always, it's better to be safe than sorry!

A man came over and offered his services as a painter to a female who's buying fuel in a petrol station. She said "No" but accepted his business card out of courtesy. She then got in her car and drove off.

The man then got into a car driven by another gentleman. As the lady left the station, she saw that the men left the station at the same time as she did. Almost immediately, she started to feel dizzy and could hardly breathe. She tried to open the car window and realized that the odour was on her hand; the same hand which accepted the card from the would-be painter. She then noticed the men's car was immediately behind her and she felt she needed to do something at that moment. She drove into the first petrol station she came across and began to honk her horn repeatedly to ask for help. The men drove away but the lady still felt pretty bad for several minutes. Finally, she was able to breathe normally again.

Apparently, there was a substance on the card that could have seriously injured her.
This drug is called burundaga, and it is used by people who wish to incapacitate a victim in order to steal from or take advantage of them. This drug is four times more dangerous than the so-called date rape drug, and it is transferable on simple cards.

So take heed and make sure you don’t accept cards anytime you are alone or from someone on the streets. This rule also applies in your compound too. If you're alone in the house, don't accept business cards, especially from strangers or people offering their services. May God keep us all.

Please send this to all your contact, don't say later . Burundaga is a dangerous Drug use by kidnappers globally and its infinite particle size can be deadly indeed.
Check Burundaga on Google if you have any doubt on this pls.

  China’s Communist Government Is Reportedly Rewriting the Bible and Calling Jesus a ‘S
Posted by: ebankole - 18-02-2022, 01:47 PM - Forum: Information & News - No Replies

China’s Communist Government Is Reportedly
Rewriting the Bible and Calling Jesus a ‘Sinner.’
But That’s Not All…



The Chinese Communist Party, China’s ruling regime, has been on a mission to rewrite the Bible through a communist lens. This quest has reportedly resulted in shocking distortions of Scripture and Gospel truth.

Todd Nettleton, spokesman for The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM), a persecution watchdog serving Christians across the globe, told Faithwire about the Chinese government’s ongoing efforts to reimagine the Bible.

This is a project that the Chinese Communist Party announced in 2019. At the time, they said it would be about a 10-year process … to release a new translation of the Bible,” he said, noting it would include Confucian and Buddhist principles, among others. “This new translation … would really support the Communist Party.”

Watch Nettleton discuss the shocking Bible translation as well as broader religious freedom issues raging in China:
A shocking example of the Bible re-write
VOM recently shared a reimagined version of the Bible’s revered story centered on Jesus’ love and corrective compassion for a woman caught in adultery.

“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) announced plans to update the Bible to ‘keep pace with the times.’ The revisions will include adding ‘core socialist values’ and removing passages that do not reflect communist beliefs,” a VOM Facebook post read. “In a textbook for high school students released in September 2020, the authors included a passage from John 8, as revised in their new version.”

Before we explore the revised communist version, let’s look at John 8 as it stands in the genuine and authentic Bible.

As the famous forgiveness story goes, the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery before them and challenged Jesus, proclaiming, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”

The Bible notes that these Jewish leaders were “using this question as a trap” to accuse Jesus. Still, Christ started writing on the ground with his finger (it’s a mystery what he was writing) and then uttered some transformational words (verse 7): “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

After the people — clearly shaken by Jesus’ words — walked away, Christ and the woman were left standing together, and their exchange went as follows (NIV):

Christ: “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

Woman: “No one, sir.”

Christ: “Then neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin.”



The Chinese Communist Party, though, reportedly has a different vision for how this interaction unfolded — an anti-biblical, faux account that flies in the face of scriptural truth.

In the Chinese government’s new version — purportedly observed in a textbook published in September 2020 — the crowd disperses, but then the text states, “When everyone went out, Jesus stoned the woman himself, and said, ‘I am also a sinner.’”
Why is China re-writing the Bible?
The transformed language directly aims at Jesus’ divinity, something Nettleton said is quite shocking.

“In one sense, it’s just like so arrogant to think, ‘I’m going to rewrite the story of Jesus’… but then you think about denying the deity of Christ,” he said. “If Jesus is a sinner, then he’s not God.”

For anyone wondering why the Chinese Communist Party would take such troubling steps to try and diminish the Gospel, Nettleton said it has everything to do with control.

“The issue for the Chinese Communist Party is control. It is always about control,” he said. “And they see the … Christian message as something that would take control away from the communist party.”

Rather than citizens waking up and pledging allegiance to a loving God and pondering ways to serve Jesus, Nettleton said the government’s goal is for Chinese nationals to wake up every day and say, “How can I serve the party today? How can I be a good communist today?”

A much broader persecution problem
While bombastic and troubling, the rewrite of the Bible is just part of the Chinese government’s ongoing attempts to crack down on the Christian faith. The nation’s Three-Self Patriotic Movement is a Protestant denomination controlled by and registered with the Chinese Communist Party.

“The officially sanctioned Protestant church of China has always tried to kind of co-opt Christianity and use it for communist purposes,” Nettleton said. “But they even in recent years have taken that a step further.”

He said images of Jesus have been taken down inside churches and have, in some cases, been replaced with pictures of Chinese President Xi Jinping. Christian hymns, too, have been replaced with communist party anthems.

The new Bible translation, it seems, is just another step toward anti-biblical anarchy within the Chinese Communist Party ranks.

“This new socialist translation of the Bible is just another step for the Chinese Communist Party as they try to control the church, and really co-opt Christianity as a means of controlling the people and helping them serve the Party’s interests,” Nettleton affirmed.

The new Bible version becomes even more troubling when one considers it could become the only officially available version of scripture in the strictly-controlled, government-run church system.

“The only way you can legally get a Bible in China is at a registered church and if those are mostly in the big cities. [and] if you’re in a rural area, you have almost no access to Bibles,” he said.

Limited access to Bibles has always been a problem. Still, now the issue is compounded by a socialist-laced version of Scripture that purportedly doubts Christ’s divinity and conjures up inaccurate details.

That’s why Nettleton’s organization continues to help get Bibles to Chinese citizens.

“That’s one of the reasons why Voice of the Martyrs and other groups are are so committed to delivering Bibles into China — even smuggling Bibles into China — because it’s not available,” he said. “One of the things I hope about this new translation is that it will backfire, and people will wonder, ‘Why was it so important for the Chinese government to retranslate the Bible. Why was it so important for them to change this?’”

Nettleton hopes Chinese citizens compare the new version to the old and see through the changes. Let’s continue to pray for the Chinese people amid increasing cultural and theological control at the hands of the communist regime.

  My Dreams guides me
Posted by: Warrior - 15-02-2022, 11:39 AM - Forum: Dreams Interpretation - Replies (76)

Greetings to the minister(s) of this great calling. I am happy to be a part and member of this forum. I discovered this website in my quest to discover clues to my meaningful dreams.

I am equally impressed with the few spirit filled dream interpretation dimension I just read.


Please help me sir.
(1) saw myself in the house of one of my clients.(I am an Architect in real life) I design and built the house in question. I was there just to say hi as I pass by the neighborhood.

On entering the main gate , I saw the security man, (he was retained as security by my client after the construction) he was full of smiles on seeing me. He told me that the trees I planted in the house during construction had grown tall and are all flourishing. That I can take a walk round and see for my self.

As I moved around, I Saw clusters (5rows x 6 coulms =30pcs) of non fruit bearing trees. I moved towards it as it's the first I encountered as I obliged to move round. NB (in real life those sets of trees seen above were not among the ones I planted, in fact 90% of the trees I allowed to be planted as chosen by my client are fruit bearing trees, but I was aware in my dreams, I didn't sanctioned planting those 30 trees above. )

On moving close to the trees, I stood on the foot of the tree, on raising my head up to see how tall the trees has grown, behold my client was on the top of the tree wearing a white garment with cutlass in hand pruning the trees. I least expected seeing him atop the tree, I hesitate to greet him, at that time he is not aware I was at the foot of the tree. I also observed that it's the second time the trees are been pruned, in view of scare were new branches sprouts from the tree trunks. I greeted him anyway , he answered.

He asked me if I can get for him a person to do a certain work in the house, I thought a while, then I said yes one of my school mate who studied the field he is asking me can do the work he asked me. He said okay, but it was ministered in my heart he was not comfortable with how it took me a while to think of who can do that type of work for him, he expected me to just respond instateniosly.
The dream just fissled away as that's all I remembered.

Quote:God Almighty will heal you. Many things in life cannot be explained why they happen.
Many years ago, I lost everything due to a mysterious ailment that befell me. I'm well read, so telling me anything outside logic, reasoning and science will not convince me.
Although I am a Christian, I was not fanatic about it. In search of solution, my family were consulting every source while I continue spending money with doctors.
But what amazed me was that 3 different pastors from different ministries and unknown to one another said the same prophecy concerning me. That was when I started thinking differently and going spiritual.
Today, I can say all things work together for them that love God.
Unfortunately, bad elements in the name of pastors have bastardized christianity and you cannot tell who is genuine or not.
I got healed without spending a dime. Hereditary or not, God can heal you by Himself without seeing any pastor or Alfa.
Avoid every shade of sin, have faith in God, consistently pray for healing and [b]watch your dreams.
Secrets of evil powers and counter attacks from God are revealed through dreams.
Life is more spiritual than physical
. If you know, you know!
