Last week a man wrote and asked this question. He said, “Why did Jesus come to earth? What was He really trying to do?” Here’s the answer.

He thought it was funny because this particular minister taught healing. Then he started going through the usual worn-out jokes about faith healers.

Getting Faith in Our Mouths
The Scriptures tell us that what we say in the natural realm, what we say with our mouths, has great impact in the spiritual realm.
