How the Anointing Led Mebelieve. I believe I receive healing for the deformed heart. I
believe I receive healing for the paralysis. I believe I receive
healing for the incurable blood disease."
And while I was saying that and praising God for it, that
anointing in me—IN me—said, "Arise. People who are well

doctor, however, paid their bills, and bought their medicine.

who believed like I did.
Some Full Gospel people had come to our town. Even
though there were a lot of things about them that I didn't
understand and didn't agree with, I didn't criticize them. I
welcomed them with open arms. I was glad to find somebody
