Bible Revelation.gif

God has promised healing to his people throughout the scriptures.

Some scriptures give details of specific miracles, healings, and even resurrection, and other scriptures tell of God's promise to heal.

The power over disease and death is God's alone. Although it is man's curse, it is also God's tool: healing is a priviledge, not a right, and is linked to obedience to the Word of God, approach, and faith.
