The Benefits of God
This article "The Benefits of God" was taken from the Heart Magazine, April/May 1980. THE BENEFITS OF GOD To claim and manifest God’s healing, We must believe on the positives of His Word, Not the negatives of the world. Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille HEART Magazine – April/May 1980, Volume 4, No. 2 – page 4 and 5 Psalm 103 is a tremendous example of knowledge and praise.
