Right now I am emphasising witnessing; the last three months of last year I was emphasising healing. My sorrow is more for my inability to express myself clearly.

If I write something about healing I can guarantee you someone will come up with a story of one who was not healed. If I talk about God providing someone will be offended and call me a 'prosperity preacher'.
