Many people who have already received a good measure of healing
and ask for help in knowing if they would benefit from Restoration Prayer
Ministry. I
believe there is always "more" in life - more freedom, more life, more
power, more ways to stretch in believing God. Test yourself and see
if you need to call for prayers that will heal your heart.
If you would like to assess
yourself today, you may take the following four tests. What
percentage of the time are you believing God and what God's word says about you?
How much are you still basing your self-worth on your ability to please
others and what others say about you? Find specific areas that need
