The illness has not gotten better! Show your devotion by giving me money, and God will act through me to heal!

The illness has been arrested (though not through any supernatural means, but I won't tell you that). Show your devotion by giving me money, and God will act through me to completely heal!

The illness is completely gone (though not through any supernatural means, but I won't tell you that). Show God your thanks by sending me money so that I might continue to heal others in His name!
