IT'S NOT HARD TRUSTING PEOPLE, IT'S HARD RE-TRUSTING PEOPLE. SUPERNATURAL FAVOR ALREADY BELONG TO YOU! A JEALOUS DEMON CAN APPEAR AS A SUPPORTIVE ANGEL. PAY ATTENTION, BE DISCERNING, USE WISDOM, AND STAY FOCUSED.
THANK GOD FOR WHAT HE'S SUBTRACTED JUST AS MUCH AS YOU THANKED HIM FOR WHAT HE ADDED! I ASKED GOD TO HEAL ME, SO HE STARTED OPERATING ON ME. BEGINNING WITH THE VERY FIRST INCISION, HE STRATEGICALLY AND IMMEDIATELY CUT OUT PEOPLE, PLACES, AND THINGS HE NEVER DESIGNED TO BE ATTACHED TO ME!
