And Then, God heals again
I was like the woman who touched the hem of Jesus garment. I had an issue of blood. It had started suddenly, but very heavy. I thought, well, it's a very heavy menses, and I waited for the normal number of days to pass. When the time came that I should stop my flow, not only had it not ceased, but it was stronger than ever. It was so bad that I had to use large bath towels to contain it, and even that didn't work. I would change the towel and by the time I had walked down the stairs it would be completely saturated and I would have to go back up stairs to change it once again.
I went to my doctor and she gave me a shot to stop the flow, and then I went home and waited, but it continued on.
I was getting weaker daily and finally would just stay laying on my bed upstairs. In the nights I would sleep fitfully, half awake and half asleep. I would cry out to God for healing, and then the devil would whisper in my ear, "You have cancer, you're going to die."
I went to have a pap test, but the flow was so strong that they couldn't get a good exam, but the doctor would tell me that everything was discolored and didn't look good.
I would remind the Lord about the woman who touched the hem of His garment, and would say, "Lord, I am stretching out my hand to touch your robe. I know that if I can just touch you I will be healed".
I couldn't take me daughter to school, I had to make arrangements with the neighbor lady to take her.
I couldn't attend church, I couldn't attend the parent teachers meeting that had been called. I just lay on my bed, and faught the battle, crying out to God on the one hand and listening to the voice of satan on the other.
I felt dispair, but I continued to call out to God and plead my cause before Him. I would tell Him that if He didn't heal me I would probably die, but I didn't want to die, I wanted to live.
I had been bleeding heavily for over six weeks. I was pale and tired from both the flow of blood and the lack of sleep.
One day I was feeling so sad, I stood up and started to walk across the floor, when all of a sudden, I felt a strong surge of faith, and in my mind I heard the words, This has gone on enough. Out loud I said, "satan I am not taking this anymore, you are a liar. In the NAME OF JESUS, you get your hands off of me, I will not die, but will live and give the glory to God.
That very moment the blood ceased to flow. I knew the moment I spoke that the enemy had been cut off. I went back to the doctor and made an appointment for a pap test, which for God's honor and glory, came out completely normal.
As fast as it had started it was over with, and God had claimed the victory.
The enemy knows how to take advantage of us. Almost anytime I have ever been in a spiritual battle the enemy has taken advantage of the hours of the night, while I was sleeping, to try to capture my mind. His attack is in the mind. He first has to capture your mind before he can take control of any other part of you. If you renew your mind in Christ, the battle is won.
"Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Ephesians 6: 11 & 12
