Dear Beloved,
Enter his gates with garment of Praise. Unlock your promises with the password of Praise.
Psalms 89:15-17
Blessed are the people who know the passwords of praise, who shout on parade in the bright presence of God.
Delighted, they dance all day long; they know who you are, what you do—they can’t keep it quiet!
Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us— you’ve been so good to us! We’re walking on air!
All we are and have we owe to God, Holy God of Israel, our King!

They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.
