Francisco Diaz S.: In today's message Charles S. invites us to maintain a positive mind even in the most delicate moments of our life when there is fear of losing it. - It is amazing to see how a cancer patient is freed from his illness and recovers having a positive mind.- Say the disease will not defeat me, I will defeat the disease in the name of Jesus.- I say it properly, I went through that

As Charles Spurgeon mentions, trusting in God and having unwavering faith can bring healing and peace to our lives. Your personal experience is a powerful reminder that in Christ we can overcome any illness or difficulty.

God bless you abundantly!
