In Their Own Words
“I have administered to one thousand one hundred and fifty sick persons by the laying on of hands and anointing with oil; rebuking diseases and evil spirits in the name of Jesus Christ; and many have been healed by the power of God, devils have been cast out, the dumb caused to speak, the deaf to hear and the lame to walk, and the sick have been raised up by the power of God and not of man. — Millennial Star 49:23”
