Isaiah 1:6 Amplified Bible (AMP)"From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness or health in [the nation’s body]—but wounds and bruises and fresh and bleeding stripes; they have not been pressed out and closed up or bound up or softened with oil. [No one has troubled to seek a remedy.]" Her testimony is God has strengthened her hands to be a remedy for the soul of man and their life issues.
