Thank you so much for your prayers and support. We had an awesome leader s conference in Mumbai last month.

So, never become weary in doing good, for in due season you shall reap the reward (Gal.6:9; 2.The.3:13). Beloved, you are called to be blessed like Abraham. In Christ, all the blessings of heaven and earth reside in you! Every time you lose anything for God, blessings begin to be unleashed in you. As a new creation, everything you lose for Christ s sake, you will receive back hundredfold in this life and in eternity (Mt.19:29). You will in no wise lose your reward as you serve God and His people. Never fear losing your life for His sake, because the life He gives you in return is His glorious resurrection life for every day! Claim your rewards for everything you have forsaken for Christ. Expect the harvest of all you have sown into His Kingdom. There is no comparison for what you will receive in return. Your five loaves will bless thousands and return back to you as twelve full baskets (Mk.6:43).

3 HEALING IN CHRIST Dr. Ezekiah Francis HEALING OBSTACLES IN CHRIST Now therefore, restore the man s wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven (Ge.20:7; Jas.5:15). This is the first healing recorded in the Bible in answer to the prayer of a man. Abraham had the privilege of praying for the sick and became a forerunner of every believer (Mk.16:17-18). In Christ, you have the right and power to pray for the sick. We will see some of the lessons on prayer healing from this passage. As a healing minister, you need to teach all these following principles before you begin to pray for others. Sin is the root of sickness: Lead the sick people to find out the root cause of their sickness. For the sake of Abraham s wife, the entire household of Abimelech became barren (Ge.20:18). Abimelech was even innocent here. He took Sarah only because he thought she was Abraham s unmarried sister (Ge.20:1-2). God rebuked him saying, You are a dead man. When man fell into sin, sickness came into Eden. Sin and sickness are the double curse of man s fall. Even today, sin is involved in sickness, either directly or indirectly. In Christ, sin has been removed from your life, and you have been given authority to remove sin from other s lives. One man s sin affects others: It need not be the direct sin of the sick person. He may face the consequences of others sin. Because of Abimelech, all the women of his household suffered barrenness. This shows the seriousness of sin. Miriam s sin paralyzed the progress of the entire camp of Israel (Nu.12). Achan s sin caused the military defeat and death of God s army (Jos.7). David s sin caused the plague to kill thousands of Israelites by plague (1.Chr.21). Even in Christ, if one member suffers, all the members of Christ s Body suffer (1.Co.12:26). Especially the sin of the leaders and heads of the families very much opens the door for the sickness to afflict the church and families. In Christ, your sins are forgiven forever. You have the indwelling power to keep yourself free from sin and sickness. The root of sin is destroyed in you, the new creation. Sin and sickness can no longer have dominion over you (Ro.6:14). Early death: The minimum of years promised is seventy to eighty (Ps.90:10). After that, one can live as he desires and believes. Early death is a curse. God saw Abimelech as good as dead and even warned him, if he wouldn t return Abraham s wife, he and all his people would die (Ge.20:3). How serious! It clearly shows sin and hardness bring early death. In Christ, you are promised long life, and the Blood of Jesus cleanses you the moment you confess your sins (1.Jn.1:9). Your stony heart is exchanged for a heart of flesh in Christ (Exe.36:26). Sudden death is a curse. You are redeemed from it! Immorality: In this case, taking another man s wife caused the spread of sickness. Immorality and uncleanness can never be taken lightly. The moral condition around you is no excuse. It is still the reason for many mysterious diseases. Adultery and coveting the neighbor s belongings is breaking God s commandment. It invites all the evil germs and viruses. Gehasi coveted and brought leprosy upon himself and his descendants (2.Ki.5:26-27). In Christ, you can overcome all the power of immorality. When you live in the revelation of who you are in Christ, you automatically covet the things of the Spirit Berachah Prophetic Voice - March

4 (1.Co.14:1,12). Your flesh loses its control over you. You literally escaped from the corruption that came through sin (2.Pe.1:4). Innocence is no excuse: When you break God s principles, even ignorantly, you face the consequences. Abimelech did it with a clear conscience and clean hands. God Himself acknowledged it and kept him from sinning (Ge.20:46). Still, this didn t stop the sickness from afflicting the family. In Christ, you are given the wisdom of God to know what causes sickness. You can easily escape and keep yourself healthy. The Bible is the best health manual ever, written by the Great Physician. Beloved, there is absolutely no need for you to be sick. In Christ, all the provision for healing is given. Still, we cannot violate God s moral principles at any cost. God is righteous and impartial in all His ways. Life in Christ doesn t ignore these principles. God has given all His ability to easily follow them. Obey them and enjoy your perfect health. As Abraham s descendant, you are called to be a healing agent to the world. Teach these principles and remove the barriers for the healing rivers to flow. Thank You, Lord, out of my belly shall flow rivers of living water. Every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live and be healed because I am in Christ. Jn.7:38; Eze.47:9 HEALING PRAYER IN CHRIST So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed THE SPIRIT OF GOD TRANSFORMS Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children, for the LORD had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham s wife. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord (Ge.20:17-18; Jas.5:14) We continue our study on the first healing by prayer.

5 world. It is imperative to remove the obstacles and step into the ministry of healing by prayer and authority. The failure of men of God: Abraham was supposed to be a blessing wherever he went (Ge.12:1-3), but So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they bore children, for the LORD had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham s wife. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord (Ge.20:17-18; Jas.5:14)just because of his fear and unbelief, he became the cause of curse for the nation. He literally deceived Abimelech. This is a warning for you, the new creation. In Christ, you are called to bless and heal the nations. Never block your healing rivers by unbelief and sin (Eze.47:8-12). God s mercy: See God s mercy! He even introduced Abraham as His prophet and recommended his prayer power (Ge.20:7). He honored His servant in spite of his weakness. The healing remedy: Right in this first recorded healing miracle, God gave the healing remedy. Quick repentance: God told Abimelech to restore Sarah back to Abraham. He quickly acted and sent her home the very next morning. Quick repentance always brings quick healing. Never allow any bitterness or sin to lodge in you. Habitual sin breaks your health beyond repair! Obey the Holy Spirit the moment He convicts you (Jn.16:8). Confession: Abimelech summoned all his officials and told them all that had happened. The fear of God swept through the entire land. Unconfessed sin breads evil germs and nurtures them! That is why James admonishes even the believers to confess their sins to each other and pray for each other so that they may be healed (Jas.5:16). Lead the sick to confession, and keep your conscience free by His Blood (1.Jn.1:9)! Restitution: Abimelech didn t send Sarah home with empty hands. He gave sheep and cattle and servants as a compensation even for what he had done innocently. This shows his righteous and sensitive heart to obey God. Restitution always releases restoration and healing. Intercession: This healing was the direct result of the intercessory prayer of a righteous. God healed all the people in answer to Abraham s prayer. God Himself revealed the need of prayer for healing (Ge.20:7).

6 you are too sick to stand on your own faith, call the elders to pray for your healing and seek the help of intercessors (Jas.5:14). In Christ, the best way to be healed is to build your faith on the Word and receive your healing. In Christ, you have the great High Priest and intercessor to pray for your healing. He is pleading for His Body to be hale and healthy. He continuous His healing ministry through His Body, the Church. When He was in the flesh, He was moved with compassion for the sick and bound. He healed them by His prayer and authority. Now, in Christ, He has given you the authority to heal the sick (Mt.10:1). His righteousness: I always wonder how God could answer the prayer of Abraham when he was in the lowest ebb of his spiritual condition. Maybe God has something to say to you, his new creation. Abraham s prayers were answered because he was God s covenant partner. He was counted righteous because of his faith and became the father of every believer in Christ (Ge.15:6). In Christ, you are righteous, and your prayers do wonders (Jas.5:18)! The Divine humor: It thrills me to know that Abraham s prayer opened all the barren wombs. At that time, Abraham himself was childless. He simply obeyed God and interceded for others, ignoring his own plight. He didn t shrink back from praying for others, intimidated by his own childlessness. Soon after he prayed for others, God remembered Sarah and gave her a child (Ge.21:1-2). Beloved, never allow the devil to stop you from interceding for others on the basis of your experiences. Intercession is purely a God-given ministry. When you do it faithfully, many of your blessings will be released soon after (Job.42:10). Such is the power of intercessory prayer! Thank You, Lord, for my effective and fervent prayer avails much, and my prayer of faith will save the sick. I go to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely I have received, freely I give because I am in Christ. Jas.5:16-17; Mt.10:7-8 GOOD NEWS!! What you see is what you possess! Your picture decides your future!

7 Praise the Lord! I am the only saved person from a strong Hindu brahmin idol worship family. Before coming here, I suffered a lot because of witchcraft and physical sickness. I was not able to sleep or even eat for many years. During the curse breaking session I received total deliverance. I was filled with peace and joy. Now I can sleep and eat nicely. Sis. Benita changed my name from Triveni to Rebekah. God filled me with joy anointing. I laughed and laughed and I got healed of my severe back pain. I was tortured in my mind, too. I was not able to connect to God, but now the truth I heard here set me free completely. I know now who I am in Christ. I am going home fully transformed and with the mighty power of the anointing of Jesus. Thanks to all preachers and thanks to Berachah Prophetic Ministries. Rebekah Shastry, Hyderabad I attended the School of the Holy Spirit to build up my inner man in Christ. I was a nominal Christian going to church and praying and reading the Bible as a duty. I was emotionally affected and depressed due to a relationship to the point that I totally avoided to meet people. I thought my life was over. I bottled up all my emotions and I couldn t enjoy anything in my life. Even though I had many prophecies about my marriage, I couldn t see their fulfilment. I couldn t find out the reason. Sis. Sudha counselled me and God showed me the answer. In one of the fasting prayers, God healed my emotions completely but my past memories were torturing me. During one of Sis. Benita s session, she prophetically ministered to us and the Holy Spirit erased all those bitter, painful past memories in my life and I got complete freedom from those torturing memories. Now I am very peaceful and happy. God revealed to me about my life and ministry and showed me many visions. I had a strong soul tie with my mom. I could break that soul tie. My mother was suffering with rheumatic pain and that also got healed here. She could not even walk four steps, but now she can sit for long and is very active. I give all the glory to God for bringing me here and delivering me and making me a deliverer. I desire that all my siblings, brother in laws and relatives must come here to receive the great blessings and become mighty warriors for God s Kingdom. I thank Prophet Ezekiah and Rev. Benita for all their revelations and ministry. Agnes, Trichy I am doing ministry, but I couldn t do anything effectively. Once I used to hear God s voice and see visions, but my personal relationship with God went down. I was only engaged with household activities. Even then, God loves me and He brought me to the School of the Holy Spirit. I never thought I could come over here for one month. After coming here, I could see the difference. I was delivered during the fasting prayer in the School and again I started to see visions and hear God s voice. Now I can feel the Presence of God. I got emotional healing also. My spirit man has become strong. All the sessions were powerful and my faith level has increased. I only had negative thoughts Berachah Prophetic Voice - March

8 and negative talk. Now I understand the importance of faith confession. I thank God for Rev. Benita and Sis. Sudha for what they have poured into our lives. We are really privileged to have such informative messages about marriage and soul ties. Tongue talking time led by Bro. Alex was a boosting hour. I have never heard a prophetic message like this which Prophet Ezekiah gave us during the last days of the School. It touches our spirit. I had such a wonderful time with Jesus. Sheena Ramesh, Kerala I struggled a lot to attend this School of the Holy Spirit, but God brought me here. After coming here, I came to know about my spirit man, inner healing, and the purpose of God in my life. I received so much joy here and God taught me many things. I can surely say, in my life I will never give place to the devil and I will not fall into the world again. I got a great and awesome teaching from all my teachers in BPM. While I was in the School, God did many miracles in my house and also in my sister's house. I believe that God has a great plan for me and I am going to see it. Thanks to Prophet Ezekiah and Rev. Benita. Hadassah Rani, Andhra Pradesh First and foremost, I want to thank God for blessing us with BPM. The blessings and miracles I received just in the last one month at the School of the Holy Spirit is something beyond measure. To start with, the quiet time in the mornings has become the most beautiful moment of the day and the teaching on the same is awesome. I not only start my day hearing His Voice. I know what the day holds for me and my Lord prepares me for the same. Each and every moment, every day, every session took us from one level of glory to another level of glory. Joy anointing was something I had never experienced before and though initially I couldn t open up myself for the same. When it was explained with biblical references, then there was no turning back. It was at one such Joy anointing session that a small abscess I had on my leg for 5 months totally disappeared. All glory to God. Also I thank God for healing me of tennis elbow on the day we were asked to pray for healing for each other. The Lord healed us of all physical and emotional pain by making us spiritually alive and helping us to raise our spiritual standards with the realization of the simple truth of who we are in Christ and who He is in us. Christ in us, the hope of glory. We are going from here renewed in strength fully changed to fulfill God s plans for our life. Nothing but his perfect will. The video sessions were a spiritual treat, feeding us with deep spiritual truths by Prophet Ezekiah. I recommend all married couples and engaged couples to attend their teaching on sex and marriage. I believe many marriages will be saved and families will be blessed. God bless Prophet Ezekiah, Rev. Benita and all those who ministered for us. Pr.Molly, Mangalore I thank and praise God for this great opportunity that He gave me to attend the School of the Holy Spirit for Ladies. From day one till today, if I look back and see, it is too much to express the goodness and grace of the Lord. I thank and praise God for all the ministers of God who taught us and imparted the anointing upon us. I got physical and emotional healing on the day of joy anointing when Rev. Benita prayed for me. God healed me from long term migraine head ache and high blood pressure for which I was taking medicine for the past three years. I praise God for Prophet Ezekiah's video sessions. I never felt that I was watching a DVD. It was like he was directly speaking to us, and the prayer at the end of every video was powerful. Tongue talking and quiet time has blessed me immeasurably. I got healing while Pr. Nehemiah was preaching on faith. Bro. Alex and Sis. Sudha were amazingly leading us all the time to connect with the Holy Spirit. I praise and thank God for all the ministers of God. Sis. Nancy Flavia, Dubai 10Berachah Prophetic Voice - March 2016

9 HOMOSEXUALITY AND LESBIANISM Rev.Benita Francis This month, we need to look at very popular subject you will see all over the news. The debate is on again about whether to legalize homosexuality or not. As God's people and Body of Christ on this earth, we must be informed and active. Jesus said, You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men (Mt.5:13). Unfortunately, this practice which God calls an abomination has been legalized in most Western nations already. You may hear people argue, How can a government forbid people to live out their love? Even God gives people a free will. Yes, that is tragically true. He has to see with a paining heart how many of His beloved humans prefer to spend eternity in hell than to accept the free gift of salvation, bought by the Blood of God's only Son. And yet, what would happen if homosexuality was legalized? You would see many more people seduced or forced into homosexual or lesbian actions and lifestyles since the fear of legal punishment is removed. You would see a sharp increase in depression, anxiety disorders, divorces, broken families, traumatized children, sexually transmitted diseases, drug, alcohol and medication abuse, criminal behavior and, and, and What is the reason for all this tragedy? Well, it is simply because deep down inside, every human being knows God s design and creation order. Going against it creates tremendous strain and chaos in the subconscious mind which actually governs your body and the way you experience life. Sooo Should the government interfere in people's love life? See this: 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. God s minister should execute God s design, don t you think? Sooo What is God s design? So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them (Ge.1:27) He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created (Ge.5:2) What is NOT God s design? 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God (1.Co.6:9-10). 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Berachah Prophetic Voice - March

10 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting (Ro.1:26-28) In the Old Testament, the law demanded that homosexuals had to be killed (Leviticus 20:13). The price of a dog (which means a male homosexual) was NOT allowed to be brought into the Temple. HOW do you obey the command of Jesus to LOVE your NEIGHBOR? Should you just shut up and be silent and let them run into their own destruction? Is it really hate speech when you warn them about the consequences of the way they have chosen? See here a wise counsel from God s Word: Homosexuality takes at least 20 years of life away!!! Cigarettes take 7-10 years of user s life. BMC Psychiatry: Rate of suicide over 200% higher in homosexuals! More sicknesses, mental disease, violence, depression, substance abuse, suicide 43% of white homosexuals have sex with at least 500 different partners in their lifetime! 28% have sex with over 1000 different partners in their lifetime! Homosexuals: less than 5%, only 2-3% are faithful to their partners14. Married females: over 80% faithful. Married men: over 70% faithful. Average homosexual relationship lasts 1,5 years. You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him. You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD (Leviticus 19:17-18) 95% of couples that last longer have agreement to allow sex outside also. Average marriage lasts over 20 years. Hetero couples: 80% last over 5 years. Homo: less than 30% Very clear, isn t it? You should not take vengeance nor feel grudge or hatred, but you should surely rebuke them and not bear sin by allowing them to destroy themselves without warning them. Hetero couples: over 60% last over 10 years. Homo: around 10% Let me give you here just a compilation of statistics about homosexuality. It is taken from a teaching of Andrew Wommack titled Christian Philosophy. Partner violence: Gay men abuse is over 300 times greater in homo than in heterosexual relationships! In 1991, some new scientific studies came out, claiming that homosexuality is genetic (Bayley and Piller study and others). Since that moment, the push to accept homosexuality as a normal lifestyle is getting stronger by the hour. Let me tell you God s view: Homosexuality is nothing but a deception of that somebody who wants to steal your life. See for yourself: 12Berachah Prophetic Voice - March 2016 Hetero couples: over 50% last over 15 years, 50% over 20 years. Homo: less than 5% last over 15 years 14% of homosexuals endure partner violence. In heterosexual couples the number is negligible! Study from England: Homosexual men are at least 50% more likely to suffer depression, anxiety and substance abuse. HEALTH RISKS: many increased Homosexual males have a 30% chance of dying or

11 contracting AIDS by age 30! Homosexual relationship is one of the dominant ways of transmission of AIDS. One out of 3 homosexuals will die of AIDS by age 30!!! That is 33%!!! an environment? Let God s Word answer you once again. This is the apostle Paul writing to the Romans: 16 For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. A study from 1999 shows that homosexual males have 10 times higher rates of anal cancer than heterosexual, and the rate keeps growing. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, The just shall live by faith. In homosexual males who have AIDS this rate doubles, which means they are 20 times more likely to get anal cancer. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, Homosexual men have more anal, lung, testicular and immune system cancers. 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 2% of USA population says to be homosexual; these 2% of the population make up for 62% of all HIV / AIDS cases! 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, new cases of AIDS per year! Only 25% of known AIDS sufferers follow regular treatment, Most keep their diagnosis secret and keep passing the deadly virus on to all their sexual contacts. Can you hear the evil chuckle of that somebody who wants to steal your life? Isn t he being very successful right now? Will you put some obstacles into his victory march? Partner violence Did you think lesbian couples do better? Think again. Partner violence: Among lesbians, the partner abuse rate is 44 times greater than in heterosexual relationships! 10% of lesbians endure partner violence. Gynecological and breast cancers are much more prevalent in lesbians. Lesbians are more than twice as likely to be obese which increases cancer and heart disease risk. Well. What do you think about all of this? Why is this not known anywhere? And why does nobody talk about the suffering of the children that grow up in such 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. 24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual Berachah Prophetic Voice - March

12 immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evilmindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. 1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who will render to each one according to his deeds : 7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness - indignation and wrath, 10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God (Romans 1:16 2:11) Any more doubts? Pretty clear, isn t it? You decide for yourself Rent-a-womb India, beware! Rich white men and women have found another way to defy God and His eternal design of creation. Have you ever heard of Rent a womb - no, no, you read correctly. Not Rent a car. It is Rent a womb! What does it mean? It means, a homosexual couple of two males goes online and selects an egg from an internet catalog. They can chose which eye color, hair color, height and stature the child should have. Then they go to some medical center, masturbate and give the sperm to a doctor who deep freezes the sperm until the selected egg arrives in the clinic. He then performs the procedure of in-vitrofertilization and creates a tailor-made human being. Now there is only one problem. Where should that fertilized egg grow for nine months until it can live in a normal environment? This is when they come to India or other poor nations. You will see advertisements that promise you much money for giving your womb to have such an egg implanted and nurture the baby in your womb. You will definitely be tempted by the quick money, but just imagine. This child will grow up in the above explained lifestyle! Would you give your life to foster such a thing? I suggest only one thing: Please GET a life, but please, GET your own!! 9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; Owned and published by V.
