HE healed me, supernaturally!
My life was very busy and scheduled very full in the years leading up to 2015 when I combined full time work with managing a home life with three young children.
At the time, I didn’t know the importance of prioritising my own rest. I would work my regular contracted hours which was Monday to Friday, then head over to a store near my house on my way home and cover the late shift there. I would do this Monday to Friday and often do Saturday as well.
It all came to a point one day when I was at work and the left side of my face started to feel numb. Then it started spreading to the left side of my lips then left arm as the day progressed. I also felt a burning sensation at the top left hand corner of my head. This felt like paper that burned from the inside out. Like you see in the NHS ads for spotting the signs of a stroke!
I asked the opinion of the junior Doctor I was working with at the time as to why she thought this was happening to me and what she would suggest me to do to manage it. She recommended I see my GP without further delay. Immediately, I dropped everything and rushed over to my GP surgery. At the Surgery, I saw a junior Doctor who referred me straight to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, I was examined for a possible stroke!
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “How can this be happening to me? I’m just 38 years of age, I am young. Only old people have strokes, not young people!” My head was overwhelmed with question marks. “What would happen to me from this point on? How will I look after my children?”
Lying on the hospital bed, these thoughts raced through my head.
I was kept in hospital for three days during which the healthcare team ran countless tests including a CT head, but all the results came back inconclusive. The symptoms were a semblance of a stroke but they could not say for certain because nothing was adding up from their examinations. In the end, I was discharged with a plan for my GP to monitor things.
Although the healthcare professionals didn’t know what caused my reaction, I knew very well what it was. I had pushed my body too far.
Although the numbness on my face had pretty much settled, the burning sensation at the top left hand corner of my head remained and I had developed a series of symptoms which when I looked into, I found that collectively, they were referred to as saddle anaesthesia in medicine.
These were characterised by a constant dull ache across my lower back running horizontally from one side to the other, a burning sensation from that point of my lower back, all the way down both of my thighs and legs to my feet and across the soles of my feet. It was terrible and very uncomfortable and it was relentless.
These were all signs of damage to my nerves, a condition that I know that medicine does not have a cure for but manages with medicines that at best will partially blunt the sensation but not eradicate.
I knew that this would only get worse with time if left untreated and I didn’t want to end up in a wheelchair with countless comorbidities and a long list of medicines. I wanted a fulfilling life and I needed to raise my children. I had to try a different approach.
So I prayed and prayed and prayed!
Back then, I was a baby Christian and didn’t know the power in keying into the Word of God to yield extraordinary results. I just spoke my worries and fears to Father in prayers and told Him the results I wanted and I did this regularly, daily.
Then one day, as I started my prayer in the early hours of the morning, I heard a ‘whoosh,’ a sound of something or someone flying through my closed window with great speed. Then I felt a flap of a man sized wing over my head! Although I had never experienced this kind of thing before, I was not scared, my heart was at peace. I knew an Angel of the Lord was in the room with me. I continued praying. Then I got up and started worshipping with both of my hands lifted up.
It was at this point that I felt what I could only describe as a laser beam coming from the top left hand corner of the room, from behind me, between my raised arm and my head and it turned on itself and hit straight in the middle of that burning sensation at the top left corner of my head. As the ‘laser’ was administered, the burning sensation got smaller until it eventually vanished. Then the laser stopped.
That was it, it was finished, I was healed! I didn’t hear the Angel leave, but from that moment onwards, all the Saddle anaesthesia disappeared! The burning sensation at the top left corner of my head, the dull ache on my lower back, the burning sensation down my legs and the soles of my feet, all gone! Praise the Lord! Hallelujah!
In Psalms 103:3 the psalmist asks,
who heals all our diseases?
It is the Lord our God. It is He who declares boldly in Exodus 15:26,
I am the Lord that heals you!
Ever since, the symptoms have never returned.
To this day, if ever I push myself too far, I get a warning sign, an uncomfortable feeling on that same spot at the top left corner of my head. I immediately put my hand over it and declare: ‘the healing that my heavenly Father has completed in me can never be undone in Jesus mighty name, amen.’ And the discomfort immediately subsides. I know it is a warning for me to slow down and give myself some rest.
I give God all the glory, honour and praise for healing me in such a radical way. Hallelujah!
26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.
(Exodus 15:26)
