.I have something I can shout from the highest place!!! Blessings are still flowing over here!
I have had a sickness that has been a part of my life from my youth. It has gotten progressively worse the past few years. When we were in Alaska, I was hospitalized several times and seemingly the doctors could not find the right medication that would help. My body was allergic to just about every medication they have tried me on over the years, leaving only a few options and one of them was going to be a surgery if all else failed.
It got severe the past few months here in Graham to the point I had to be hospitalized for 13 days in March. While I was in the hospital, I had severe allergic reactions to several medications they tried on me and with one I had almost stop breathing but they were able to get it under control with a shot to stop the allergic reaction. They soon found some medication that at least I didn't have an allergic reaction to and sent me home.
The medication wasn't working. If anything it was causing some severe side effects that I was told I would just "have to live with." I could not get out of bed most days as I was very weak and could not take care of my daughter. Things got progressively worse again to the point my husband would have to come home from work and take care of me some days.
Last week it had gotten to the point were I saw no hope in site for ever getting better. All the doctors could try just wasn't working and my body would not recover. It looked as though I would have to go back into the hospital again, this time for maybe longer than before.
I had spoke with Sis Kekel on Thursday night and she had talked of faith. Faith in various areas of our lives. I had asked her if the men of God ever pray for people by anointing them with oil. She had said it is not the oil that would heal, it is faith.
I came to church on Saturday night, May 5th. Rev Parr preached a message and spoke about "What you see is what you get." He said what we see in faith is what we get. I felt the Holy Spirit letting me know he was there to heal me that night if I would just ask and have faith. So I did, I prayed for his healing for this illness that the doctors had said was lifelong and I had faith that God would heal me.
HE HEALED ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have not had even one symptom at all since I prayed Saturday night! I continued taking my medications but something happened now that I had not experienced, I became nauseous with them. My body was rejecting them I guess and didn't need them anymore. I went to one of my doctors on Monday and she cried that I was healed and this illness was GONE! She told me to go and let my light shine!
My husband and I rejoiced and so did several other sisters that knew what I had been going through. I have told many of how God touched me since then and every time I tell it, the Holy Spirit just confirms it that much more.
I now am off all those medications I was on and I had absolutely no withdrawals from them as the doctor said for sure I would have when I stopped them because my body depended on them. But GOD, heals better than that! I had no withdrawals. I feel like I have been given a new life! A life no longer having this illness take over and then go into remission and then come and take over again. It is GONE!!
So if that ain't shouting grounds, I don't know what is !! It has increased my faith beyond heights that I have ever reached in God. He is a wonderful, loving God and I'm thankful for what he has done for me and for giving me my life back.
