Healed.

I have had the good fortune of having my whole world turn around. I am a Christian – that’s one thing I stand for. One day I was in church, and I heard the Pastor say that he promised God if He would heal him, he would do anything he asked…..and I was really sick at the time. I was supposed to be permanently disabled. I had been a popular girl in college and then I got really sick, I went home to my house and could barely move. I went to every service at church and when they called sick people to the altar, I went up every time. I went to two additional prayer groups a week and every time healing prayer was offered, I took it. I prayed almost constantly at home. I had accepted the fact that I would be ill, and my life would never be the same. Than, one day when I couldn’t take it anymore, I got on my knees and sincerely prayed the same prayer – “God, if you will heal me, I will do anything you ask,” and a short time later, I was at a prayer group where we broke up into small groups for personal prayer. I fell on the floor, and it felt like shock waves went through my head. I don’t know how long I was on the floor, but when I got up and went to the bathroom to fix up, a voice said to me “No more medicine”. I went to the doctor on August 27^th, 1996 and gave back all of the bottles of medicine that weren’t working. The doctor called my Pastor, and it was all okay. I was scared, but not too long after had to get up and work full time, and I did. I haven’t been on disability for many years now, and the healing is real. I was never supposed to have a full life or be totally healthy ever again. I had a divine healing, and it was not only a blessing, but would make no sense to most people so I neglected to speak about it for many years, and did just about everything I felt God wanted since. I try to follow him in every way but like most believers, it’s not always easy to discern the right voice. It is loud and clear when it’s important, but he has not asked very much. I now feel like I am finally doing something I was supposed to for a while, which is return to college, but postponed because either I wasn’t ready or didn’t see how. I am so grateful to take this step, and now feel guided for the next after it. On a day to day basis I do have to live a life knowing I am only healthy due to a promise and remembering who I live for, which has been hard but mostly doable with all of the insane trials I go through. I am in it for the long hall.
