Testimony: A lady I met in Bible College had been healed by Jesus from lupus (a terminal disease). Before her healing, she and her husband had spent all their money on medical bills yet she steadily grew worse. Then they stood on this scripture and other healing scriptures and she was healed. She had to renew her mind to what the Bible says since she was living in fear and anxiety for 25 years. As she kept on worshipping and praying the healing scriptures in the Bible, taking authority in Jesus’ name over sickness and diseases, her symptoms disappeared.
