rights of the believer VII

I think that this will end this series here but by no means is this the end to the rights that Christ came to give us. We as believers have the right to lay hands on the sick and see them healed.

Mark 16:18 ... They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.” (Please refer to rights of the believer IV)

Just as Mary answered the angel that told her that she was to bear Jesus--"be it unto me according to Your Word." Luke 1:38---be blessed---c
