THE ACCUSER
“”Then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Anointed One, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters—the one who accuses them before our God day and night—has been thrown out”—Revelation 12:10 Our adversary is…

RIGHT RESPONSE
“A healing tongue is a tree of life, but a deceitful one crushes the spirit”—Proverbs 15:4 Our words can either comfort or sting like a furious hornet.

ADONAI ROPHECHA
“Bless Adonai, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: He forgives all your iniquity. He heals all your diseases.” – Psalm 103:3 Sickness is the outworking of sin.
