I like these verses 1 Peter 5:6-10(6)Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. (7)Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (8)Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. (9)Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. (10)And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

The biblical book of Isaiah was written approximately 700 years prior to the birth of Jesus. The prophet Isaiah wrote many prophecies concerning the coming Christ. For instance, Prophecy: Isaiah 29:18 In that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness. Fulfillment: Matthew 15:30Great crowds came to Him (Jesus), bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at His feet; and He healed them. Prophecy: Isaiah 35:5-6Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped. Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Fulfillment: Matthew 12:22Then they brought Him (Jesus) a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see. Prophecy: Isaiah 7:14Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Fulfillment: Luke 1:26-3326. In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27. to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." 29. Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30. But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33. and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." Prophecy: Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Fulfillment: John 19:1-31. Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. 2. The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe 3. and went up to him again and again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him in the face. Prophecy: Isaiah 49:6 He (the Lord) says: "It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth." Fulfillment: John 17:20-21[After praying for His disciples, Jesus continues to pray for others just prior to His arrest and crucifixion] 20. "My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21. that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me." Also, Acts 10:45The circumcised believers (Jews) who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. And there are many more examples I could give... My purpose in writing this is to hopefully persuade those of you that have not accepted Christ to do so. God loves you and desires to provide you with an abundant, eternal life (John 10:10). However, you have a relentless enemy (also John 10:10) that is seeking your destruction and you must turn to Christ if you hope to overcome him. Romans 10:9 says, "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." You do not have to jump through any hoops to receive Christ. Simply come as you are. You do not have to "fix your life" prior to accepting Christ Jesus. Do you first wait to be healed before going to the doctor? Again, just come as you are to the Lord. The following is a simple prayer to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. "Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen." I really hope you recited this prayer. If so, I truly believe that the Holy Spirit (God) has entered your life and will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5). I suggest getting connected with a church if you're able for the purpose of growing in your faith (which is important). Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments. God bless! In Christ Jesus, Greg

Dear Friends, I am of the firm opinion that you are going to have to completely reject fear if you are going to have any hope of overcoming morgellons. This condition feeds on fear. The more fearful you are, the worse it is going to be for you. Your fear will eventually take over your mind if you don't put a stop to it. I would suggest that in most cases, what ever you are fearful of might be the exact thing you need to be doing. The Bible uses the phrase "Fear not" over sixty times. God does NOT want you to be fearful. Specifically:
Matthew 8:26 "...Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith..." Mark 4:40 "...Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?" Luke 1:30 "And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God." Luke 12:32 "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
And for the Christian:
Romans 8:15 "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."
2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." There are many other references I could use with regard to fear. The Bible tells us to fear God, which means that we should honor Him by loving Him and following Him. We accomplish this by knowing His word and then acting appropriately upon it. I pray that God will bless each one of you with the grace to overcome your fears. I suggest reading Psalm 91 out loud each day for help with this issue. In Christ Jesus, Greg

Psalm 86 is a prayer of David and it is awesome!
Psalm 86 A Prayer of David.
(Say the following:)
(In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth)
1 Bow down Your ear, O LORD, hear me; For I am poor and needy. 2 Preserve my life, for I am holy; You are my God; Save Your servant who trusts in You! 3 Be merciful to me, O Lord, For I cry to You all day long. 4 Rejoice the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 5 For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You. 6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; And attend to the voice of my supplications. 7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, For You will answer me. 8 Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord; Nor are there any works like Your works. 9 All nations whom You have made Shall come and worship before You, O Lord, And shall glorify Your name. 10 For You are great, and do wondrous things; You alone are God. 11 Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name. 12 I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. 13 For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. 14 O God, the proud have risen against me, And a mob of violent men have sought my life, And have not set You before them. 15 But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth. 16 Oh, turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your maidservant. 17 Show me a sign for good, That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, Because You, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.

Lazarus is brought back to life!
John 11:32-44
32 Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. 34 And He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said to Him, “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, “See how He loved him!” 37 And some of them said, “Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?” 38 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” 44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

1 John 1:8-9
"8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Romans 10:10
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Friends,
A simple yet effective spiritual warfare tactic is confession. Confessing our sins to God will enable our souls (minds) to be cleansed by Christ Jesus. The result of this cleansing is liberty and freedom. Your freedom may not come immediately, but don't give up because we know according to scripture that the "word of God endures forever (1 Peter 1:25)" and that God is a rewarder of those that seek Him diligently (Hebrews 11:6).
(Simple prayer)
"Father God, I thank You that You are faithful and that You have given me the opportunity to be cleansed of unrighteousness by way of the act of confession according to 1 John 1:9. Therefore Heavenly Father, I'm deeply sorry for my sins. Specifically, I'm sorry for my lusts, jealousies, pride, and fears. I'm sorry for causing strife and not being forgiving towards others. I'm also sorry for outbursts of anger. It's my desire to draw closer to you Father. Please help me to do so. Your word says Father that You will exalt the humble. Therefore, I humble myself before you Father God and ask that you would reveal to my mind any specific sin I should confess or anyone I need to forgive. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ Father and I thank You for Your mercy and everlasting love. You alone are my Lord and my God. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I pray. Amen."
(Simply listen for His soft counsel and then act accordingly). God bless.
In Christ Jesus, Greg

Today's post-modern world would have us believe that absolute truth is subjective - that what is true for you isn't necessarily true for me - and that there are many paths to God. Can this philosophy be reconciled with God's word?
When referring to the end of the age, Christ tells us in Matthew 24:4 , "...Take heed that no one deceives you."
He also says in John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Friends,
Do not be deceived. Reject post-modern philosophy. There is ONE path to God and that path is through Christ. Jesus Christ is NOT merely Buddha, Mohammad, or Krishna in a different suit. No, Jesus Christ ALONE is God.
John 3:17-18 states, "17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
Amen!

Hi, Greg,
You are right , Jesus is the ONE! I always remind myself it is Jesus who has answered all of my prayers, all of these years, and it is He who has held me up and carried me through all of my troubles. If not for Him I would not be here today. He is everything!
DO NOT BE DECEIVED!!!

Jeremiah 29:11-14 "11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the LORD, "and will bring you back from captivity..."
Psalm 9:18 "But the needy will not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the afflicted ever perish."

Psalm 71:14 "But as for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you (Jesus) more and more."
Psalm 147:11 "the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love."
Proverbs 23:15-18 "15 My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad; 16 my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right. 17 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD. 18 There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off."
Lamentations 3:25 "The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;"
Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him (Jesus), for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

Jesus Heals! Matthew 24:23-25
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. 24 Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. 25 Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan. Christ has not stopped healing the sick and delivering people from evil spirits!

(It's my birthday so...!) Romans 3:23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, Romans 5:8But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 10:9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. John 14:6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Acts 10:38...God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how He went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with Him. Friends, I pray that God will soon bless you with a great measure of peace, healing, and deliverance. Turn to God, place your faith in Jesus Christ, and follow Him! God bless In Christ Jesus, Greg

Hello! Good morning Ladies & Gentlemen (Awake, I put you firmly in the gentleman category.)! Here is my weekly scripture passage: 2 Peter 1:5-7 & 16 5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
16[Peter said just prior his crucifixion] For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
I pray your week will be filled with revelation and peace in the name of the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth. God Bless, Greg

Bible passage for the week:
Hebrews 3:7-12
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
“ Today, if you will hear His voice, 8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, 9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years. 10 Therefore I was angry with that generation, And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart, And they have not known My ways.’ 11 So I swore in My wrath, ‘ They shall not enter My rest.’” 12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;
Friends, I felt like the Holy Spirit wanted me to post the previous passage. I hope that it speaks to you. Have a blessed week and may the God of all creation, Jesus Christ, strengthen you and supply all of your needs.
In Christ Jesus, Greg

Matthew 11:28-30(Jesus says) "28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” I hope everyone is having a great week. I was told by a friend today that I should smile more. He was absolutely right. And now I'm passing this message on to you guys - "Smile as much as possible " God Bless, Greg

Today, the Super Bowl champion New York Giants were much more than the injured Dallas Cowboys could handle. The Giants won the game 35 - 14. After the game, one of the Giants made an interesting comment to a reporter: “When a football team comes in here and it is kind of depleted as far as injuries go, you don’t want to give them any sunlight,” said Giants defensive end Justin Tuck. “You don’t want to give them any light whatsoever.” The essence of this comment is true in many respects besides merely football. When on the battlefield, you must crush your foe until he is either vanquished or until he surrenders. Otherwise, an army runs the risk of an enemy gaining an advantage and winning the conflict. In a similar fashion, we have a spiritual enemy who is in control of a vast and powerful army. He is merciless and fierce and has no need of rest or fuel. His chief objectives are to shame you, rob you, and destroy you in every area of your life. He is VERY familiar with the concept of " not wanting to give you any light whatsoever." Although his evil intentions continue during the day, his primary operating hours are in darkness where he exploits tired, weak, and often isolated individuals and convinces them that there isn't any hope - that they should just give up... In contrast, the prophet Isaiah foretells in numerous passages, 1000 years before Christ, the coming of a Savior, Great Light, and King. In Isaiah 9:1-2 he says, "The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death - Light has dawned.” Approximately 1000 years after the time of Isaiah, Jesus says in John 8:12, “ I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” Additionally, Christ says in John 12:46, "I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness." Also, the Apostle John says the following about Jesus in 1 John 1:1-10: 1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— 2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. 5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. Friends, God is good and He loves you. He desires to have a loving, intimate relationship with you. He genuinely wants the best for you, and He desires that you be healed and delivered. There is no darkness in Jesus. 1 John 4:15-16 states, "15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.Turn toward the Light. Practice love, righteousness, and mercy. Seek God diligently through prayer, charity (practicing kindness), and Bible study and expect His reward. Our enemy is much too strong for us in our own power. We must have the power of the Holy Spirit operating in our lives if we expect to overcome this truly evil affliction (John 15:5). Finally, as I have mentioned before, I strongly believe that it will benefit the process of your healing to receive personal ministry in the area of deliverance. I can possibly help with referrals if you choose to pursue this option. In conclusion, I'll leave you with the following passage from John 16:33. "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

2 Chronicles 14:2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:
2 Chronicles 16:11-13 11 Note that the acts of Asa, first and last, are indeed written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 12 And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady was severe; yet in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but the physicians. 13 So Asa rested with his fathers; he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
Friends,
I am absolutely confident that God is still in the healing business and He wants to heal you. One of the Old Testament names of God is Jehovah Rapha - the Lord that healeth. Another Old Testament name of God is Jehovah Mephalti - the Lord my deliverer.
The New Testament says that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Therefore, Jesus Christ is still the healer and deliverer. Acts 10:38 says, "how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him."
Jesus will heal and deliver you if you turn to Him diligently. So how does one turn to God diligently? Through prayer, confession, repentance, acts of charity, bible study, practicing kindness and forgiveness, and, if necessary, seeking men or women of God to help you in your struggle (e.g. deliverance). Often people give up at the first sign of adversity or at their lack of progress, but this doesn't mean that you should quit the fight or assume that God no longer heals. The bible says that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. Be patient and keep expecting for breakthrough. Be diligent and do whatever you can possibly do with regard to seeking the Lord.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, completely stop any activity that has to do with the New Age, occult, or eastern religious practice. How can someone expect to be delivered from crack while smoking from the crack-pipe? Likewise, don't expect complete healing and deliverance from God if you are dabbling in these practices. The Bible says that God's people are destroyed by lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). A few years ago, while I was simultaneously attending a Baptist church, I (ignorantly) participated in an organization that was heavily involved with the New Age and other pagan activities. Less than a year later guess what I started experiencing ---> biting, crawling, stinging, pinching, shaking, muscle convulsions, eye problems, burning sensations, hair movement, etcetera...
I quit attending that organization and I eventually began renouncing and repenting of my activities and as I did (with the help of a minister) I began receiving deliverance from very serious spiritual oppression (e.g. morgellons disease).
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
The same deliverance that happened for me is also available to everyone of you. God bless.
In Christ Jesus, Greg

In chapter 4 of the book of Acts, Peter and John are arrested for preaching and healing a lame man. The following is their response: Acts 4:8-12
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Since there is no other name by which we must be saved (healed, delivered, rescued), let us turn to Him in a diligent and repentant manner and seek His great salvation. Christ alone is our hope. Please feel free to contact me if you have any prayer requests. God bless! In Christ Jesus, Greg

Matthew 4:23-2523 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. 24 Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed (more appropriately "possessed demons"), epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. 25 Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan. If in all of your efforts to be healed from Morgellons disease you have by-passed the Great Physician (Jesus Christ) you are doing yourself a disservice. Many think that this affliction is caused by external influences; I strongly believe otherwise. I believe that Morgellons is caused by a heart condition - a heart that in some respect is not right with God. Matthew 15:10-20: states: 10 When He (Jesus) had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.” 12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?” 13 But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.” 15 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “Explain this parable to us.” 16 So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding? 17 Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated? 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. 20 These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.” Morgellons is altogether defiling, but Christ is the answer for defilement. Satan uses many avenues to bring his torments: pain, trauma, sin, generational curses and more. However, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus Christ (Matthew 28). If you diligently submit your life to God in truth, He will restore you. Additionally, like the multitudes that followed and sought after Christ for healing and deliverance, I highly recommend that those suffering with Morgellons do similarly by seeking out a ministry that is skilled in these areas. I can assist with this endeavor - just ask me. God loves you. While you were still sinners Christ died for you, thereby proving His love for you. Turn to Him and seek restoration. There are MANY ministries, all over the world, that are operating in this capacity (healing/deliverance). Do not neglect this wonderful opportunity. Truly, Greg
