Those of you who know me well know that I have struggled with several heart problems ever since I was about 12. Things kept on getting worse over the years and my meds had changed over to heavy duty ones that had some not so fun side effects. To top it off if I missed them I would suffer for it greatly. I finally went to my doctor a month ago and said, "I just can't do this anymore, is there anything else to do than this?" Note: I was freaked out about saying that because he had previously told me that I might have to move up to a blood thinner if the last one didn't work. He agreed that I should be taken off, but said it would take a MONTH long process to get me off of it! Meaning a not so good month and gave me some strict instructions on how to get off this drug with as little problems as possible.
I had been praying for a while about this, telling God my struggle with all of it. God laid on my heart that scripture about the woman who just wanted to touch the edge of his garment and knew she would be healed. I talked to God a lot about that verse and just asked that He would touch me. Just one touch is all I need. Then I opened my Bible later and found John 14:12 "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." I prayed a lot about that. I started to feel better and better and was getting pretty excited about it.
This last Friday I went to my doctor and for reasons he can't explain I am finally OK! GOD HAS HEALED ME! I am finally off of all of the meds and am feeling GREAT for the first time in YEARS! When I got home I opened up my Bible and found that scripture about the lady and read: "Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment." Matthew 9:22
GOD IS AN ACTIVE GOD! Matthew 22:32 '"I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob' He is not the God of the dead but of the living."
