“For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God” Hebrews 7: 19 (KJV)   We are believers. That is who we are.

“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” John 19:30 (KJV)   When the devil attacks your body, you should not tolerate it because you are not sick. You are the healed that the devil wants to make sick. The scripture says the streets of Heaven are paved with gold. So, money is...
