And with ever y step I take, I'm enforcing the defeat the devil has already experienced," she said. "It's already done. I'm already healed." "I began to speak to my brain, and I would command my brain to line up with what God said about me," she said. "I would speak over my equilibrium and my balance and I would say, 'My balance and my equilibrium are fully restored in the Name of Jesus.'" for April, who gradually saw her body b e g i n to mend .

I know from the Word that Jesus is the Healer," she says. "I have experienced for myself that Jesus is the Healer, and nothing is too not scare me. Multiple sclerosis is just a name. And it had to bow its knee to the Name of Jesus. " • e L ord told m e t h at as quick ly as this thing had come, that's how quickly it had to go. And that's exactly what happened. When I'm tempted to think the symptoms are still there, I say, 'No, in Jesus' Name. walking in my healing every day." Today things have returned to normal for April, who continues to raise and support the talents of young daughter, Najeé, and work a full-time job. She is grateful for that day in 2007 when she first learned about KCM, and began listening to Kenneth Copeland's teachings.
