Do You Get 100% Results Ministering Healing?

Can A Christian Have A Demon?
Last week in Casting Out Afflicting Spirits I shared how I was surprised to learn how often sickness or pain is caused by an evil spirit attacking someone’s body. I mentioned that at that time, most of the people I was praying…
