Does God still heal?

YES HE DOES!

I can personal testify to that.  Hebrews 13:8 tells us, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and ever." So yes, He does still heal.  Did I believe He did a year ago?  In a way.  I believed He could but didn't believe He would really do it for me.  I always believed healing was for someone else.  That all changed almost a year ago.  Here is alittle bit of my story.

Three years ago I was diagnosed with a diease called "PCOS" which is short for "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome".  Which in a short, caused me to not ovulate on my own. As you can imagine, that put a damper on mine and my  husband  trying to get pregnant.  I was devastated but at the same time relieved to finally have a answer on why I wasn't having a monthly on my own.  You see, I had been that way since I was fifteen years old.  All the doctors wanted to do, since they didn't have the answer, was put me on birth control pills.  So when the time came for my husband and I to start working on our family we knew something had to be up. 

So needless to say I started going to a different doctor.  He automatically diagnosed me.  It was something I had never heard of before.  So I started my research.  Everything I read on it was depressing.  My doctor put me on a drug called "Clomid"- which made me crazy!  For 5 months I was in an up and down mood.  One minute I would be happy and laughing, the next, just crying my eyes out for no reason.  It was horrible! Not to mention the hot flashes!  One morning I woke up and realized I'd had enough.  Sitting across from my husband during breakfast, I informed him that I could no longer go through this.  I NEEDED A BREAK!!!  He totally agreed.

So, November of last year, we started our "break" .  God has done mighty things since. We have amazing and Godly pastors (Mark and Colleen) who started speaking with us about healing.  They are true believers that God heals.  Something they told me stuck with me and still does.  They said we needed to start speaking my healing out loud- in Jesus name, (which is something our mentors had been telling us for years. Thanks, Tony and Angie!). Hmmm....there must be something to this. So, we did.  How did God create the world?  He "spoke" it into existence.  There is so much power in the spoken word- good or bad.  I am finding that out daily. 

So as crazy as it may sound (yes, I felt really funny doing it at first) I started speaking my healing into existence in Jesus name.  I started commanding my body to be conformed to God's Word.  Everyday.  Now, I am blessed to report that I am healed!!  My body has been functioning properly, ovulating on its own (no meds) now for 8 months.  Which, if you know me and my past, you would understand this is a HUGE deal!  All glory goes to my Father above!! 

 Ephesians 3:20
 "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us."

So, do I believe God still heals???  There is no doubt in my mind.  God is for us!  And as long as I live I will declaire His greatness.  I serve a BIG GOD.  And He is still in the healing business. 

Blessings to you all.

Abraham Believed

Have you ever been through something in which you had to cling to the promises of God? 

That has seemed to be the story of my life for the past three years. Infertiltiy is a word we don't really hear much of in the church, and an issue that seems to be ignored. Why is that? I believe it's because people don't know what to say about it. It is a very touchy subject, especially in the church. It's one of those subjects that unless you have been through it, then you really have no idea about it. 

A little bit of our story....
My husband and I have been on the journey of infertility for three years and have experienced many of the ups and downs that come along with it. Would I change it???  That's a tough question. At times I think, "Oh yeah", and other times I think, "Never!" God has grown our faith so much through this journey, and I wouldn't trade that for anything. We have been anrgy, content, sad, happy, hopeful, scared, excited, overwhelmed, discouraged, but NEVER HOPELESS. "Why", you ask? Because hope doesn't lay in our circumstance, but our Lord Jesus Christ.

One verse that has really helped me get through this lately is Romans 4:3.
 "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness."
 This is what we are doing: Believing God everyday. We are not only believing Him for our child, but also for provision of faith, hope and patience- everyday.

 One of the reasons for this blog is to document our journey through everyday life, and the obstacles and trials that arise, believing God for strength and courage to face life head on through Him. 

Please come along with me, and let's be encouraged together.
