Healing through Obedience
From Laura Verrill on Feb 16th, 2011
For the past 5 years I’ve had an annoying physical problem that needed an over the counter medicine to relieve it. About two months ago I started having abdominal cramps and I couldn’t figure out what was causing it. Then about 6 weeks ago someone prayed for me for the cramps and it occured to me to stop taking the OTC medicine. the cramps stopped and the original problem has NOT reoccured! I mentioned it to my doctor but she just shrugged her shoulders. PRAISE GOD for healing me from a physical problem that was not life threatening or extremely painful, but simply very annoying. I’ve also had people pray for my shoulder multiple times, which is slowly healing at a normal pace. (Thank God for how he has made our bodies to recover from injuries). I had been extremely discouraged because I hadn’t been able to swim because of the shoulder pain since last year (Feb 2010.) Specifically I could not do the back stroke at all, and some other stokes were sometimes painful. After receiveing much prayer and prompting from the Holy Spirit to take a step of faith, I decided to start swimming regularly, Just do whatever I could, even if I couldn’t do the full range of strokes that I did before. Within two weeks I was able to do the back stroke without any pain at all. PRAISE THE LORD! Now after swimming 15 weeks my blood sugar is back down to normal like it was before and I am no longer in the “diabetic” category.

Laura’s blood pressure is steadily lowering and she is using half of the blood pressure medicine she needed to before. Yay God!
