Sanctification And Honor

Confession Precedes Actual Possession
Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the Lord, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you. (Num. 14:28) Notice that even after the man with arthritis was anointed with oil and prayed for by the elders, there was still no manifestation. But they...
