I find that some people can pray and trust God for a “physical healing” better than they can for an “emotional healing” for an emotional problem (as it is called by secular psychologists). BOTH types of “healing” require the spiritual power of Christ and we should have the faith in Him for both. In fact, did…
II Corinthians 1:3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by…
