In the book of Exodus 3:7-8, God told Moses that HE has surely seen the oppression of HIS people who are in Egypt, and HE has heard their cry because of their hard taskmaster for HE knows their sorrows and their pain.  The healing and deliverance ministry was created to bring healing, comfort, and deliverance to the body of Christ. The supernatural power of God is available for HIS children today. God said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28-KJV).

Are you ready to be healed? Come and join us in a supernatural encounter with the spirit of the living God because where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17-KJV).
