Healing

It's Not Just for Doctors

Today’s guest post is from Pug, who has a wonderful story on God and personal healing. Enjoy!

Here’s my story

I am going to write something that most humans will think is insane, stupid, fabricated and laughable. I am going to write about my experience with God's physical healing.

I understand it is taboo in today's "science/humanist" world to believe that God can heal diseases/pain. Most humans believe only the medical profession, vaccines, prescription drugs and surgery can heal diseases and alleviate pain. If you believe God can heal physical ailments through one's faith, you are deluding yourself with wishful thinking.

Come get your healing!

Well...thank God for my delusions and wishful thinking as over the past two years I have had three experiences with God's physical healing. Here is my story:

I am not an expert in the Bible. I am not an expert in medicine. I believe in God and I believe that Jesus, the Son of God, walked the earth. I have read the Gospels three times. Honestly, I do not understand 75% of Jesus' parables. But what I did glean from reading the Gospels, is Jesus continually performed three actions during his ministry:

1. Expelled Demons

2. Physically healed people of ailments/diseases

3. Spoke of Faith

The three actions above must have been important to Jesus or he wouldn't have continually done them throughout his time on this planet. Fast forward 2000+ years, and most of humanity, including spiritual/religious people, do NOT do the three actions listed above. In fact most of humanity:

1. Does not believe in Demons and laughs at exorcisms

2. Does not believe God/Jesus can heal people of ailments/diseases through faith/prayer

3. Does not truly believe in God/Jesus and that faith in God/Jesus can move mountains

Two years ago (2020) after I emerged from my Dark Night of the Soul at the onset of the fake pandemic, an exterior "thought" came into my head that said †you can heal more than you know.†

OK. Whatever *that* means. The hell that was 2020 marched on with the world freaking out over a cold, resulting in lockdowns and shuttering of businesses/churches/schools. I held my tongue, knowing it was the medical profession and hospitals/nursing homes that were the real killers in the so-called COVID-19 pandemic.

One day in March 2021, as the fake pandemic was still in full swing, my brother had a kidney stone attack. He gets bad kidney stone attacks periodically, usually every 3-4 years. I was at my brother's house helping to take care of our mother who was recovering from a broken leg (yes, I believe the medical profession can solve/heal trauma - broken bones, stitching up cuts, etc.)

My brother was on the couch, in excruciating pain. He did not want to go to the emergency room, as the emergency room staff never did anything to alleviate his pain from kidney stones. I went to bed and said a prayer asking God to alleviate my brother's kidney stone pain. I fell asleep and an hour later I woke up and an external thought came to my head that said †touch him where the pain is.†

I actually sat in bed and laughed. I am not going downstairs to touch my brother. Insane.

Yeah, I don’t think so.

Then I thought "what harm could it do?"

I went downstairs and saw that my brother was still awake and in pain on the couch. I asked him where the pain was and he pointed to his lower back. I touched his lower back and said "here?" He said "yeah." I asked him if he wanted to go to the emergency room and he still said "no." I went back upstairs to try to get back to sleep.

An hour later, around midnight, I woke up with a strange sensation pulsating through my lower back. I lay on my back on my bed, wide awake, while this electronic pulsating sensation rippled up and down my spine, ending in my lower back. It felt kind of soothing yet weird. The sensation lasted for a minute or so, and ended as abruptly as it came. I fell asleep and woke up the next morning at my usual time of 5 am.

I went downstairs and saw my brother was sleeping on the couch. He eventually woke up after hearing me stirring around in the kitchen. I asked him how his kidney stone pain was, he said "it's gone."

I asked him when the pain ended.

He said the pain got better around midnight and he could finally fall asleep.

OK. I didn't tell him about my electronic sensations at midnight or the external voice that told me to touch him where his pain was. He wouldn't understand or believe anyway.

Only WE can heal

A year later he has not had a major kidney stone attack. But, like I said he usually gets them every 3-4 years. Do I believe God healed him of his kidney stones for good? I don't know. But I do believe God healed my brother of his kidney stone pain THAT night.

Fast forward to August 2021. I wake up one morning with excruciating shoulder pain. I could barely move my left shoulder without pain going down to my hand and feet. I figured I had a pinched nerve. For one month the pain never stopped. Constant shoulder pain and numbness down my left side. I am not a doctor person and I don't have health insurance anyway, so I decided to deal with the pain and see if my shoulder would heal on its own.

In early October 2021, my shoulder was not getting better and I prayed every night for God/Jesus to heal my shoulder. Sleeping with my shoulder pain was impossible. I would wake up every hour to turn positions to try alleviate the pain. One night I woke up around midnight to turn over to alleviate the pain, and the weird electronic sensations began yet again. This time the sensations rippled up and down my left side. The sensation lasted for a minute or so, and ended as abruptly as it came. My first thought was "God is healing my shoulder pain!"

I fell asleep and the next morning I woke up to my shoulder being even more painful than the day before. Needless to say, I was disappointed, I was hoping the electronic sensations down my left side were God's healing power, and as I am a human who wants everything on my time, if I wasn't healed overnight, that means God wasn't going to heal me.

The pain is killing me Jesus!

In late November 2021, my shoulder pain was worse than it had ever been. Constant pain. I tried everything, heating pads, ice, exercises, stretches, aspirin, cervical collar, vitamins. Nothing helped. One night I prayed to God and said "if you won't heal me, help me to live with the pain."

Two days later yet again another external thought came to my head and said †have faith, healing isn't always overnight.† That same day I decided to self diagnose my shoulder pain yet again on the internet, and the first result that popped up was the term "frozen shoulder." That term didn't pop up back in August 2021 when I first tried to self diagnose my shoulder pain on the internet.

In fact I have never heard the term "frozen shoulder."

I read up on "frozen shoulder" and determined on average it took people 12-18 months to heal a frozen shoulder. No one knows why a shoulder freezes up and becomes painful. But it happens. Most people with frozen shoulders deal with the pain until it heals on its own. There really is no medical intervention that can heal a frozen shoulder and alleviate the pain. Only time heals a frozen shoulder. I thanked God for pointing me to the self-diagnosis of "frozen shoulder."

I should have had faith back in October 2021 when I had the electronic sensations that God will eventually heal me of my shoulder pain, but I didn't. After my discovery that more than likely I had a frozen shoulder, I decided to put up with the pain and continue on with my life knowing eventually my shoulder would get better.

It would take another 4 months until my shoulder pain was finally barely noticeable. It is now March 2022, and my shoulder is at 75%. I no longer have shooting pain down my left side, it is just a dull ache when I move my shoulder a certain way.

Have faith, healing takes time.

I suppose most people would say, God didn't heal my shoulder, only time healed my shoulder. True. But without God's voice telling me that physical healing takes time, and without God pointing me to the "frozen shoulder" diagnosis, I would probably still be in pain, taking pain killers, ruining my liver and stomach and seeking out the medical profession to do a useless operation on my shoulder which would result in even more problems.

Speaking of ruining my liver and stomach, a month ago my stomach started to feel gassy and painful every time I ate something. I had this happen to me years ago when I took too much aspirin for a backache I had. I chalked it up to an ulcer or damage from the aspirin. It took about two months to heal.

Because I took a lot of aspirin to alleviate my shoulder pain, I chalked up my current stomach pain to an ulcer or damage from the aspirin. A week ago, I woke up from a sound sleep with a sharp pain in my stomach. The pain lasted a few seconds and dulled down to its normal gassy pain. I laid in bed and prayed to God to help me with my stomach pain and I said I had faith he would help me. I fell asleep. An hour later around 10:30 pm I woke up with the electronic sensations rolling up and down my stomach area. This time I had faith. I know God was helping me with my stomach pain as long as I had faith.

The next morning I decided to try a 24 hour fast to help remove some of the toxins from my stomach. Two days later my stomach is 50% better. Psychological? Is God helping heal my stomach pain or did my water fast help remove the gas and toxins in my stomach? Perhaps prayer, faith AND my fast needed to be done in order to physically heal my stomach.

Again, I am no expert in the Bible or God or Jesus. But I do know that faith is the key to everything. Faith in God is the key. I don't really understand what faith is, but it is not hope. I don't hope God will heal my physical problems, I have faith he will, even if the healing does not take place in my time frame. Also, I need to accept pain. I will have physical pain in my life. I will die probably in pain. I need to have faith that God is by my side even while I am in physical pain.

You can heal with faith.

Can God heal physical human pain?

I believe yes.

Do you need faith for God to heal physical human pain?

I believe yes.

The healing of human ailments/diseases and pain is important to Jesus and God. It is not up to only humans/doctors to heal ailments/diseases, God is by our side. He will help us if we only have faith and abide by his healing time frame. Thank you God.
