Ms Ogala said, “Father King of Glory, I ask that you touch every person here. Let them be healed in the name of Jesus. Father King of Glory, you created every one of us. You know every part of our body. May your healing fall on everybody here in the name of Jesus. Father, send down your surgeons.
“As I leave here today, may your name be glorified. May they come and testify. May they testify that you have healed them in the name of Jesus. Every affliction, from the pit of hell, I release fire from heaven to destroy them right now. I cover everybody here with the blood of Jesus. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Receive your healing.”
