A very good Lady send me the following test to give to my mother encouragement. It's very interesting, it's the word of God, so i want and i must to share it with you. I don't know if this Lady is Catholic or Methodist ecc. Personally i'm catholic. And I believe that our Lord is making great miracles to all his servants, to all the Christians, to those who believe or not believe, to those who are Christians or not. I'm not a saint but i invite all of you to meditate the following tests. They are blessings from God. Everything is possible for Him! Amen!
HEALING
Proverbs 4:20-22 says, My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh. (KJV)
The Hebrew word for health in verse 22 is medicine. Gods Word is medicine to all our flesh. Isaac Leesers translation of Exodus 15:26 reads, I the Lord am thy physician. The medicine He prescribes is His Word.
Many make the mistake of substituting belief in healing for the actual taking of Gods medicine His Word. They say, I believe in healing without actually taking the medicine. What good would it do for you to believe in food if you didnt eat it? You would starve. What good would it do for you to believe in water if you didnt actually drink any? You would die of thirst.
Gods Word is His medicine. There are several parallels between Gods medicine and natural medicine.
First: Gods Word is a healing agent, just as natural medicine is a healing agent or catalyst. In other words, the medicine itself contains the capacity to produce healing. Inherent within Gods Word is the capacity, the energy, the ability, and the nature to effect healing in your body.
Psalm 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
20 He sent out His word, and it healed, and from their corruptions it freed! (Fenton)
Proverbs 4:22 For they (His Words) are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. (KJV)
Isaiah 55:11 The Word of God will accomplish what it was sent out to do.
The Word itself contains the power to produce what it says. Just as when God said, Let there be light and there was light, healing Scriptures contain within them the capacity to produce healing.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit (KJV)
12 Gods Message is full of life and power. (Weymouth)
12 Gods Word is alive with energy. (Jordan)
12 Gods word to us is something alive, full of energy. (Knox)
The key to partaking of the life and healing energy in the Word is feeding on it until it penetrates your spirit where it deposits that life and energy.
Second: We might say that medicine is no respector of persons. It will work for anyone who takes it. It is not a matter of if God is willing or not willing to heal any individual, but whether or not the individual will receive healing by taking the medicine that produces it.
Third, and most important: Medicine must be taken according to directions to be effective. Some medicine labels read, Take internally; others say, Take externally. To rub it on your body externally when the directions say to take it internally will not work. To take it after meals when the directions say take it before meals will reduce its effectiveness. To take it once in a while when the directions say three times a day will mean limited results, if any. No matter how good the medicine is, it must be taken according to the directions or it wont work. So it is with Gods medicine. It must be taken according to directions for it to work. The directions for taking Gods medicine are found in:
Proverbs 4:20-21 Attend to them, incline your ear to them, dont let them depart from before your eyes, and keep them in the midst of your heart.
We might say that attending to them, inclining your ear to them, and keeping them before your eyes causes the Word to get into the midst of your heart. Notice this: It is only as Gods Words get in the midst of your heart and stay there that they produce healing in your body. Head knowledge wont do. They are going to have to penetrate to your spirit through meditation attending, hearing, looking, muttering, musing, pondering to produce healing in your body. But once they do penetrate, they will surely bring health to all your flesh. let them penetrate deep within your heart. (Living Bible)
You can see again that Gods way of healing is spiritual. Power is ministered first to your spirit, then distributed to your body. Gods medicine must be taken internally. Listen, instead of wondering whether you have enough faith to be healed, just take the medicine. This handout contains Healing Scriptures. Feed on them several times a day, repeating them over and over again to yourself. The medicine itself will work if you will get it inside of you.
Fourth: Remember that it takes time for medicine to work. Most people give natural medicine a lot of time, patience, and money to work. They take the prescription back for refills and more refills. They are diligent about it. They dont just take one dose and expect a miracle. Keep taking Gods medicine. Give it time to work.
Take your medicine. Say these Scriptures to yourself. Think on what youre saying in your heart. Use them in praise to the Father. His Word is medicine to all your flesh.
Exodus 15:25-26 And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, and said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

God is bigger than sickness and Satan. God is dwelling inside of me now, healing me now. The Lord that healeth me is my Shepherd; I do not lack healing.

I thank You, Father, because You are my Healer; and You are healing me now.

I refuse to bear what Jesus bore for me. I refuse to take what He took for me. Satan, you cannot put disease on me, for Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. I refuse to accept sickness. I will not tolerate sickness. Sickness and diseases are totally unacceptable. I refuse to accept them. Jesus bore them, so I refuse to have them!
Mark 5:25-34 25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26 and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. (KJV)

CONFESSION: Her faith made her whole, and my faith makes me whole. I have faith, for I am a believer. I believe I receive my healing, and my faith makes me whole. I receive Gods power as mentioned in Ephesians 1:19. The power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in me. My faith puts that power into active operation in my body. Disease has no choice. There is no chance for its survival in my body. The power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in me. That power is irresistable. It is greater than sickness and disease. That power is flowing in me and makes me whole. I am free. I am entirely free from sickness and disease. I am whole. I believe I have received my healing, and my faith has made me whole!
Luke 13:11-13, 16 11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. 12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 13 And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? (KJV)
11 an infirmity caused by a spirit [a demon of sickness]. (Amplified)
11 had a disease caused by an evil spirit; she was bent double and altogether unable
to hold herself up. (Plain English)

16 was there not a need that she be loosed (Rotherham)
16 And ought not this woman, a descendant of Abraham as she is, whose power
movement Satan has fettered actually for eighteen years, to have been released
from such fetters on the day of the Sabbath? (Wade)

from her fetters? (Barclay)

16 But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been in the bondage of Satan think
of it! for eighteeen years, should not have the right to be released from her bonds
because it is the Sabbath? (Norlie)
CONFESSION: Satan cant bind me with sickness. I believe that, according to Colossians 1:13,
I have been delivered from Satans dominion and translated into the kingdom of the Son of God. Sickness is ungodly. Sickness is of the devil. Satan, you cant put sickness on me! Who do you think you are? In Colossians 2:15 and Hebrews 2:14 it says you are a defeated foe. Jesus stripped you of your authority over me. You cant do this to me. I resist you in Jesus Name. I am delivered. I am free. I have been loosed. I am no longer fettered. I am now rid of my infirmity. My bondage is at an end! It is right for me to be completely free, for I am a child of Abraham. According to Galatians 3:14, 29, Abrahams blessings are mine. Healing is part of the covenant. I am under the covenant. Healing is mine. Healing belongs to me. It is my rightful possession. I have a right to be released. Satan, I demand my rights now! Take your filthy hands off my body!

38 healing all that were overpowered by the devil (New Berkeley)

38 Who passed through as a benefactor and healer of all those who are tyrannized
over by the Adversary (Concordant)
38 harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil (Amplified)
CONFESSION: Sickness is oppression of the devil. Satan cant oppress me with sickness, for I have been delivered from his authority through Gods Word in Colossians 1:13. Satan cant oppress me. I have authority to tread on Satan and demons and all the power the enemy possesses. I tread on sickness. Satan, you cant lord it over me with foul disease. You cant do this to me. Sickness, you cant do this to me. You are visiting the wrong one. Healing is mine. The power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in me. It is healing power because He is the Lord that healeth. Healing power is at work in me, and I am free!
Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (KJV)
19 I have given you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and all the might
of the satanic foe, and nothing will harm you in any way. (Norlie)

scorpions, and (physical and mental strength and ability) over all the power
that the enemy [possesses], and nothing shall in any way harm you. (Amplified)
19 Yes, I have given you power to trample every evil underfoot, to counter all the
might of the enemy; nothing whatever shall harm you. (Condon)
19 I have indeed invested you with power to stomp on snakes and scorpions (Authentic)
CONFESSION: Sickness is a sign of the power of the devil. I trample on all the power of the devil. I trample on disease. I stomp on disease. I tread every evil underfoot. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself gave me authority over all the power of the enemy. I have authority over sickness. Sickness, I trample on you! I tread on you! I stomp on you! Get out, get out, get out! You have no right to dominate me. Get out of my body in Jesus Name. Sickness and disease are under my feet because it says in Ephesians 2:6 that I am seated with Christ above all the power of the enemy.

sin and death. (KJV)

11 If the Spirit of God, of Him who raised Jesus from the dead, has its home in you,
then He who raised the Messiah Jesus from the dead will thrill with a new life your
very bodies those mortal bodies of yours by the agency of His own Spirit,
which now has its home in you. (Way)
11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead has taken possession of you,
he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give your mortal bodies life
through his Spirit that has now taken possession of you. (Goodspeed)
11 will also create life in your mortal bodies (Godbey)
CONFESSION: The Spirit of God is residing in me. The Spirit of God is making His home in my spirit. The Spirit of the Lord that healeth is creating life, supplying life in my body, making it whole. The life of Jehovah-Rapha is being applied to my body by His Spirit who dwells in me. The life of God drives out every trace of sickness and disease. The life of God is destroying disease and germs in my body now.
I Corinthians 6:13, 15, 19, 20 13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and
ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body,
and in your spirit, which are Gods. (KJV)
CONFESSION: My body wasnt made for sin, but for the Lord. My body wasnt made for sick-ness, but for the Lord. My body is a member of Christ. My body belongs to Christ. Satan cannot make Christs body sick. Satan, how dare you trespass on Gods property. Take your hands off Gods property in Jesus Name! My body is the temple of Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord that healeth. He is in me healing me now, for He is the Lord that healeth me. I have been bought with a price. Jesus blood cleansed me from all sin; and by His stripes, my body is healed. I glorify God in my body. I refuse to allow disease in my body in Jesus Name. You foul disease, take your hands off my body in Jesus Name!

I am redeemed from every disease written in the curse of the law. I am redeemed from (name specific disease)! I am also redeemed from every disease that is not written in the Book of the Law.

27 and do not give the devil a chance. (Translators NT)

You cant! I say no, and I mean no. No sickness or plague comes nigh my dwelling. You have the wrong address. I will not give in one inch. Satan, you have no place in my body. You cant do this to me. I wont have it. It is unacceptable. It is not mine, and you cannot give it to me. You have no place in me or my body. I belong to God.

activities. (Phillips)
8 that He should be annulling the acts of the Adversary. (Concordant)
CONFESSION: Sickness is a work of the devil. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. Sickness has been dissolved, broken up, annulled, undone, liquidated as far as I am concerned. Jesus put an end to sickness for me. The activities of the devil have been liquidated.
III John 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (KJV)
CONFESSION: I am prospering and I am in health even as my soul prospers because it is
Gods will for me. God is at work in me to do His will and pleasure. Jehovah-Rapha is at
work in me healing me!

CONFESSION: God is at work in me. Jehovah-Rapha is at work in me healing me. He is the Lord that healeth me. God is greater than the devil. Healing is greater than sickness. God is at work in me healing me!

Satan, take your hands off my body! I cast you out in Jesus Name. You cant do this to me. In the Name of Jesus, I am free!
John 14:12-14 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

4 Get your life from Me and I will live in you. No branch can give fruit by itself.
It has to get life from the vine. You are able to give fruit only when you have life
from Me (New Life)
5 I am the Vine and you are the branches. Get your life from Me. (New Life)
4 You must go on growing in me and I will grow in you. For just as the branch cannot
bear any fruit unless it shares the life of the vine, so you can produce nothing unless
you go on growing in me. I am the vine itself; you are the branches. (Phillips)
5 It is the man who shares my life and whose life I share who proves fruitful. For the
plain fact is that apart from me you can do nothing at all. (Phillips)
CONFESSION: I am in union with Christ. My spirit is in union with Christ the Healer. I draw out His healing power, and it is manifested in my body. I am one with the healing Vine. I am in union with the healing Christ. I have His life and health in me!
FATHER, I PRAISE YOU! THANK YOU FOR HEALING ME!

Good morning!
Here in the Eastern Churches, they use to repeat many times a day : "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me".
It is called also "the prayer of the heart".
Don't hesitate to repeat it many times a day. It will help us in many ways. -

GOD WANTS US WELL
King Hezekiah was ill and it was his time to die
(we all have an appointed time), but he prayed and asked God to let him live
and God gave him 15 more years.
When I was laying in the hospital with 2 Anyurisms inside of my heart,
I asked God to give me more years and He did.
Isaiah 38:1-4 (NIV)
Hezekiah's Illness
1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, "This is what the LORD says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover."
2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, 3 "Remember, O LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah: 5 "Go and tell Hezekiah, 'This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life.
What God does for one person, He will do for another because He is not a "respector of persons"
Acts 10:34
34Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism
Deuteronomy 10:17
17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.
Romans 2:11
11For God does not show favoritism.
Colossians 3:11
11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
Colossians 3:25
25Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
1 Peter 1:17
17Since you call on a Father who judges each man's work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.
Jesus paid for our healing 2000 years ago when He went to the cross. He bore 39 stripes on His back. There are 39 different categories of illnesses in the world today. The Word tells us that "by those stripes we were healed". The Bible teaches us that "out of the mouth of 2-3 witnesses a thing shall be established"
Matthew 18:16
But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
2 Corinthians 13:1
This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
1 Timothy 5:19
Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
Hebrews 10:28
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Here we have those three witnesses...............
Matthew 8:17 (NIV)
17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
"He took up our infirmities
and carried our diseases."
1 Peter 2:24 (NIV)
24He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
God wants us well.
3 John 1:2
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. -

August 1 - Receive Your Miracle
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
(Romans 10:10)
Do you need a miracle? Then believe it, confess it and receive it!
"Oh Gloria, I just don't know if I can do that."
Yes, you can! You've already done it once. When you made Jesus the Lord of your life, you believed, confessed and received the greatest miracle in the universe, the miracle of a reborn spirit! Every other miracle you receive will come in exactly the same way.
You start by simply believing what God's Word says concerning your area of need, by letting that Word change your heart and mind.
A lot of people try to skip that step. They try to believe for a miracle without spending enough time in the Word to change their heart and mind. They just want to confess it with their mouths and have it instantly appear. But that won't happen. It's what we believe in our hearts and say with our mouths that we receive.
If you don't have enough faith yet to believe for the miracle you need, then you can get it. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Rom. 10:17). So start filling the ears of your heart with the Word until faith for your miracle is born.
That's what the woman did who had the issue of blood. She believed in her heart that Jesus would heal her. Then she spoke her faith out loud. Then she acted on that faith--and she received her miracle.
It wasn't Jesus' decision. He didn't suddenly say, "You know, I think I'll work a miracle for that little lady today." No. She made it happen. She took her faith and drew on the power of God. That's why Jesus said, "Daughter, your faith has made you whole" (Matt. 9:22).
You have that same opportunity. God's power is always present everywhere. Your faith will bring it into your life, body or circumstances. So reach out to Jesus. Believe, confess and receive your miracle today.

Good morning to all of you!
Just feeling down today. My mom developed this "hand/foot syndrome", making her feeling down too. So tell a prayer for us too:-))) -
Lorenzo,
Good morning , prayer going up for you and your Mother ~
Dear Jesus, Divine Physician and Healer of the Sick, we turn to You in this time of illness. 0 dearest Comforter of the Troubled, alleviate our worry and sorrow with Your gentle love, and grant us the grace and strength to accept this burden. Dear God, we place our worries in Your hands. We place our sick under Your care and humbly ask that You restore Your servant to health again. Above all, grant us the grace to acknowledge Your holy will and know that whatsoever You do, You do for the love of us.
Amen. -

Hi Lorenzo.
As I write this, I too am experiencing hand/foot syndrome severly (my feet are extremely red/cracking/burning as well as my hands. I see that you post often and all the scriptures you quoted gave me further encouragement that the Lord indeed does heal. You are such a good son, your mother is truly blessed. I will continue to pray for both you and your mother. May the Lord continue to bless us all as we walk through this path unknown to us, but known by Him. -
Dear Steelmarigolds,
thank you so much for your prayers and kind support. I pray for you too. I understand how bad this syndrome feels. I read that "gloutamine powder" and some creams could alleviate this feeling. My mom is trying with ice but we don't see any comfort. But, this is temporaly. Have faith in our Lord that he will let you all enjoy his beatiful gift: Life! -
Lifting Lorenzo and his dear Mother in prayer ~

Lorenzo how is your Mother ?
please check in , keeping you both in my prayers ~~
-
i just want to thank you for your prayers. my mom seems to get better, her lymphnodes are less or no more swollen. The CT scans in a month will tell all the truth also for liver, lung and bone mets!
I ask you this time to pray for me too. Financial incomes in the past months were not so good, I could work more time and harder, normally i'm very productive and inspired on work, but i prefered to spend more time with my sweet mom, and i don't regret for this! So, i don't have the convenience to live anymore alone. I was just so glad to have my own space, my own home, where i could find some peace, relax and relief from stress, bcmets and other problems. But now, paying the rent for the house is a stress, so i'm thinking seriously to move back to my mother. Please pray for my mom, for not being upset with my financial issues, she needs to be in peace.
Thank you so much,
Lorenzo -
and thank you so much! usually friends are running away when you have health or financial problems, or both. and that happened to me too....

Good morning to all of you!

Healing Words
Bible Verses Useful in Warding off Anxiety
Several Bible verses remind us that no matter how anxiety-producing the situation, the God is with us.
I'm leaving you with a gift: peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn't fragile like the peace the world gives. So, don't be troubled or afraid. (John 14:27)
Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters ... they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God" (Isaiah 43:1-3).
He (God) comforts us whenever we suffer. That is why whenever other people suffer, we are able to comfort them by using the same comfort we have received from God. (2 Corinthians 1:34)
Blessed are those who mourn. They will be comforted. (Matthew 5:4)
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:20)
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)
I consider our present sufferings insignificant compared to the glory that will soon be revealed to us. (Romans 8:18)
Dear friends, don't be surprised by the fiery troubles that are coming in order to test you. Don't feel as though something strange is happening to you, but be happy as you share Christ's sufferings. Then you will also be full of joy when he appears again in his glory. (I Peter 4:12-13)
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
Let not your heart be troubled. You are entrusting God, now trust in Me. (John 14: 1).
I will never fail you nor forsake you. (Heb. 13:5)
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wing's as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31)
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. (Psalm 23:61).
God, who shows you his kindness and who has called you through Christ Jesus to his eternal glory, will restore you, strengthen you, make you strong, and support you as you suffer for a little while. (I Peter 5.-10)
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There won't be any more death. There won't be any grief, crying, or pain, because the first things have disappeared. (Revelation 21:4)
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. (1 John 4:18)
Create in me a clean heart, a God; and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10)
Come to me, all who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)
If any of you are having trouble, pray. If you are happy, sing psalms. (James 5:13)
That is why we are not discouraged. Though outwardly we are wearing out inwardly we are renewed day by day. (2 Corinthians 4:16)
But he told me: "My kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak." So I will brag even more about my weaknesses in order that Christ's power will live in me. Therefore, I accept weakness, mistreatment, hardship, persecution, and difficulties suffered for Christ. It's clear that when I'm weak, I'm strong. (2 Corinthians 12.-9-10) -

Carrie -
