“Inside and outside of every experience is an infinite amount of sensations, feelings, thoughts, and emotions, each having their own variation of depth and breadth, each one dependent on each person’s own personality, life experiences, and the stress we faced just prior to each moment in time when we are called upon to make a choice.”

“God showed me something that day. It’s not about me. It’s not about how strong or how weak I am. It’s about speaking and declaring the WORD over someone else. What did God say about this issue? It’s about how strong God is, despite my weakness. I challenge you today, if you are sick – pray for the sick. If you are hurt – pray for the hurting. If you are lacking – pray for someone else’s abundant supply. Don’t run from your weakness – use it to heal someone else! Speak the Word – and sit back and watch what God does to confirm His Word! God will use it – and add His power to it, and you will see people healed in Jesus Name!”
