About the new single 'The Balm of Gilead'

In 2001, while in a far country in Eastern Europe, I was just in the middle of my usual personal worship when the Spirit of God descended, and I went straight on my knees. I vividly remember interceding for the sick that night, then suddenly, I heard myself singing a new song about the healing balm and the Spirit of the Lord descending like that Angel that stirred the river in Bethesda. Jeremiah 8:22 says “Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people? If God's people stir up their faith in God's Word, it brings about all kinds of healing that they desire. This is because the Word of God is the Balm and Jesus is the Healer! He is ever present to take away our pains for He himself took our infirmities and bore our diseases. Math 8:17
