Healing Miracles

On October 17th, I was involved in an automobile accident on my way to work. I was at a dead stop and someone in a large pickup truck rear-ended me at 50 mph without braking! Yes, I was injured, I was scared and my car was totaled. I was knocked unconscious and that was pretty scary. I've been through so many trials and tribulations in the last few years that I just didn't think I could handle anymore! As God would have it, He didn't see it the same way I did! I won't go into the minute details of the accident but I will share some pretty amazing testimonies in the hopes that it will touch someone's spirit who may happen upon this site! But please remember, if you are reading this, it's because the Lord led you to this site for a reason!!!

The Bible says in Proverbs 4:20-22, " My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. (v21) Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; (v22) For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh." This means that we must read His word, listen to what the Lord is saying, and not stray from the Holy Bible. As we READ, it becomes a part of our hearts and He is telling us that His words are LIFE to any of us who find them. Once we do, there is health to our flesh. There are some naysayers who don't believe God heals in our present day, however, the Lord God always was, always IS and always WILL BE and that means He doesn't change! What He's done in the past, He continues to do in our present day. They call the Bible the LIVING BIBLE because that's exactly what it is....living! Full of life of the Lord God Almighty's own words and instructions. That morning driving in to work I was praying and talking to the Lord. I prayed for protection, to be used as His servant in His Will, and I was rebuking the enemy and his agenda! I was singing His praises and listening for His voice.....then suddenly, I was knocked unconscious and when I came to, I was completely disoriented and confused. A lot of chaos, ambulances, patrol cars, and fire engines were all around and I kept looking at my body for blood but couldn't see any! I thanked the Lord in a small winded voice. Later in the evening, after I had been poked and scanned and x-rayed, I was laying quietly on the gurney, covered in a few warmed blankets because I was still in shock, when the Physician's Assistant came in with that "look." She asked me if I'd ever been told I had a cyst on my brain. DREAD came upon me. I said NO and then was told there was either a cyst in the middle of my brain OR blood. All I kept hearing in my head was cyst, over and over. What an awful scare, but at the same time, a testing of my Faith and Trust in the Lord. In Luke 17:6, it is written, "So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you." I really tried not to focus on the "what if's" that are typical in this scenario, but it crept in from time to time. Then the word cyst was replaced with blood because THAT made more sense to me considering the type of impact it was and how bad my head hurt.

Hours later, she'd come in to let me know she'd sent my CT scan to a neurosurgeon who reviewed it and told me I needed to follow up with an MRI. Talk about a whirlwind! Something I didn't expect to hear was just spoken out loud. While I laid there still in wait, I prayed for the Lord to heal whatever was invading my brain and a peace fell over me. I can't explain it other than after a few tears, I fell silent and felt the arms of the Lord wrapped around me! John 14:27 is a reminder to me, saying, "Peace I leave with you;  My peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." Even though we live in the world, we are not part of it, but at the same time, we still have human nature and my human side was a little afraid. I was reminded though, that He has left His peace with me, a totally free gift, and I trust Him so I just needed to let that sink in deeper and know He had a purpose that I couldn't see right now. I lay there for what seemed like eternity thinking of my family and those who loved and cared about me. It's totally amazing what things come to the forefront when you think you might be facing some serious illness!!! Finally, I was released with instructions to follow up with the neurosurgeon who told me I needed an MRI. I had a head injury and a neck injury, concussion and whiplash. Not to mention the bruises and a few bumps that would become noticeable the next day. Due to my head injury, I wasn't really all "there" mentally. I found my focus enough to make the appointment that I really didn't want to make. I had been blessed with health and hadn't been to a doctor in over 5 years! I didn't really want to start NOW but, once again, that was the hand I was dealt. I asked all to keep me in their prayers, pray for my recovery and to pray against whatever might be invading my brain!

A week later, I go see the neurosurgeon. That was a LONG week. Any time I begin to ask God that dreaded question, "Why?" I begin to repeat one of my favorite verses, Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on our own understanding; In all your ways, acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." The whole week, I was worried about this "density" I was told I had, whether it was blood or a cyst, it didn't matter. Both are dangerous to carry around. I explain the accident to the doc, I tell him that I was knocked unconscious and how bad my neck hurt. I let him be aware that I was having some pretty bad headaches daily as well. He told me my neck was the least of his concerns, and it should be mine as well, and proceeded to SHOW me my CT scan. I saw this "spot" with my own eyes! I saw how perfectly centered it was and couldn't believe what I was looking at with him. It was almost like a 3D image. I asked all the right questions, I understood every single medical term he spoke and then asked the big question, "Was it possible that this was blood from the accident?" He told me due to the location, which was directly in the MIDDLE of my brain, near the spine and where the spinal fluid flows, it was HIGHLY unlikely it was blood. He said unless I had an open head wound, then he would bet his HOUSE that this was a cyst, and the type of cyst was referred to as the "Sudden Death" cyst. I repeated Proverbs verse AGAIN! I was sent to the hospital for the MRI with contrast so they could see in the most inner part of my brain. He told me the MRI would CONFIRM this finding and it would be compared to the CT scan I had in the emergency room and the MRI of my brain I had back in 2001. I walked to my car and looked up to God and said, "Ok, Lord, either you heal me OR you find me a job soon with benefits." And off I went......

I never once received the "sudden death" cyst news in my spirit. I continued in prayer, had my MRI and went home. I was told the report would be sent to him the next day. I worried the entire day but remembered Philippians 4:6-7 where Jesus tells us, "do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." And I prayed for His healing hand to touch me! Friday morning I awoke, felt a warmth envelope me and knew I was going to be alright. By Friday afternoon, I hadn't heard anything from the doctor, so I went to the hospital and got my own results. I won't lie....at first, I was terrified to read them. I got in front of the elevator and thought how childish it was for me to be scared to read my results because the Lord already let me know I was going to be OK. I sat on the sill of the window, talked to the Lord and said, "I'm OK right?" I felt His presence and read the words on the report. IT WAS GONE! NOTHING WAS FOUND. Not a TRACE of ANYTHING! I laughed! All by myself in this hallway! I laughed with joy and relief! I read it three times and those words jumped out at me!! A testimony of His healing had just been experienced by ME! I've always BELIEVED in His healing, but never quite experienced it this way before. I remember telling the Lord that morning on my way in to work to use me as a vessel, to be used as His servant in His Will and I was given a testimony of Healing! I have told as many people as I could about this wonderful experience! I have some healing to still do and that will come in time. But the greatest healing that took place was that spot on my brain!!! I told everyone about my "ultimatum" I gave the Lord in my panic to either heal me or find me a job with benefits....I laugh about that as well because it looks like I didn't get a job with benefits! This was much GREATER! PSALM 30:2 says, "O LORD MY GOD, I CRIED TO YOU FOR HELP AND YOU HAVE HEALED ME." 

I want each of you who read this to come to know the Lord God and to know that everything He has done in the past, He will do in the present and in the future. I want you to know the hope is in the Lord, NOT in the world and all of it's empty promises! Seek His face, draw near to Him and He will hear your cries!!!
