Virgi,
I had the same thing happen to me. Several people of this minister's
henchmen came to tell me that this guy could heal me. They dragged me up to
the front.
When the minister asked me if I believed he could heal me, I said that I
didn't think this was the right time.
So he turned to the audience and said" With a heart like that, God can't do
anything for you.
I have lots more stories but won't tel them.
After that, I went to the Lord with all this. He said to me that I was not
to ask for healing or even think of it until He told me to do so.
So, as long as I stay away from healing preachers, I am not a target.
Vinny
