Introduction

In the past 20 years, I have had 2 strokes, prostate cancer, nose cancer and diabetes and now uses a kidney machine 3 times a week to stay healthy…

Doctors have given me many grim diagnosis and reports, but God has healed and sustained me again and again!!!

Every time the doctors would say, No hope!!! … God’s Grace would be sufficient— EVERYTIME!!!

Even after God has Commissioned me to heal the sick, cast out devils and perform signs and wonders, and the Blood of Christ has healed and has made me whole (body, soul and spirit)... And His Spirit manifest daily in me—with power to perform signs and wonders.

Our God has fortified and enabled me with strength to endure the thorn!!!

God’s Grace is sufficient… His strength is perfected in human weaknesses!!!
