Key Theological Framework: Recompense
The Core Message
Apostle Coward presents "recompense" as God's justice system - divine compensation for injustice and suffering:
"Recompense means everybody say pay day. That's what it means... to compensate, to repay, to make imminent. It means pay day... to finish, to make safe, to make whole are good, to restore, to reckon, to make good, to pay, to require, to recompense, to reward."
Biblical Foundation
He grounds this in Hebrews 10:30 and Proverbs 11:31:
"Behold the Righteous. Who are the Righteous? Who made you right? God did... Behold the Righteous, be recompensed. Where? I'm not talking about when you get to heaven. I'm talking about God. I want you to have it right here."
Radical Faith Declarations
On Healing and Miracles
The apostle demonstrates uncompromising faith in divine healing:
"There's no sickness on this earth that can take you out unless you agree with it. None, but if you haven't been taught that, you just die."
Personal Testimony - COVID Victory
"They said I was going to die, three doctors said I was going to die... The power of life and death is not in the virus. It's in my mouth. So I said to that coronavirus, guess what? You will die. You would die now... three days later, the virus was not only dead, but it was gone without a trace."
On Speaking to Disease
"I laid hands on myself while I was breathing and oxygen in... laid hands on myself in the name of the Lord Jesus. And three days later, the virus was not only dead, but it was gone without a trace."
Documented Miracles and Healings

"When I prayed for Austin over in Delaware, Austin was austistic and on the spectrum big time. He was making 20s... I pray for Austin, cast that spirit of autism out of him... He went to school that next week... He made in his 90s. Now he swims in a swimming pool at the deep end. He is a genius."
Down Syndrome Deliverance
"The guy there, his mama brought him to him... he looked like he had Down syndrome, act like he had Down syndrome... I could recall him... cast that spirit of downturns him off of him... after that, that boy was acting normal. He was talking about girls... He want to look good, not down syndrome."
AIDS Healing
"She was dying from AIDS and she asked me if I... can pray for... I wouldn't think and don't lay hands on her... But I didn't care about that Because I know I have power and authority over all things... I just lay hands on her and I kill that AIDS virus... and two weeks later that girl is up and well."

Demons Cannot See Through the Blood
Powerful testimony about spiritual protection:
"That was another guy that was demon possessed that came up... he was looking around me... he was counting... And he said, there's blood on that man. The blood is on that man... He could not tell if that was a woman. He said, that's the blood is on that man. And it was the blood of Jesus that I plead over that man that he couldn't even see through."
The Anointing in Material Objects
"Remember, I'll talk more about it Sunday, but the woman with the issue of blood for how many years? 12 long years did not touch Jesus. What does he touch? The hymn of his garment. Man, that anointing can rest in a garment."

- Uncompromising Faith - No room for doubt or religious limitation
- Practical Spirituality - Faith with immediate, measurable results
- Divine Justice Focus - God as active recompenser of injustice
