Testimony: I Felt The King
NyameTse's testimony "I Felt The King" on 2/17/2016, 2:15am...
There is so much I could write here about what God has done for me. First of all, let me say that I was raised a Catholic and went to church every Sunday and thought I had a good relationship with God until some tragic experiences led me away from Him for 9 years. Because I did not understand God the way that I do now, I could not experience the vastness of his glory. In all that while though, He never gave up on me and when I had a thousand questions for why I went through the particular tragedies I suffered, He had an answer for me. I have learned to speak to God and wait for his response. Sometimes he speaks to me directly. Other times, he sends me to a bible passage. Still other times, I get a response from the mouth of one of his faithful servants.
There are two particular incidents in which I experienced God's glory that I want to mention. Here is the context: I had emergency surgery 6 months ago. Of course some pain was expected but after taking the minimum amount of painkillers that would do the job, I was pain free for at least 2 weeks. Then, the pain came back and it was persistent and relentless and different than what I had before. Sometimes, I could not walk, sit, work and I have had many trips to the ED, urgent care as well as my providers. Multiple providers saw me and told to get back on the pain killers since I was probably not fully healed inside but I wanted an answer as to why I was having pain in the first place and no one could give me that. They told me that it could be from the original surgery but while I understood that, it did not make sense that I should have pain in a completely different site than where I had the surgery which was outwardly healed.
I sought many different opinions and started to think that I might be going crazy or my body is inventing this pain in response to the psychological pain I was going through but let me tell you that I was not. I went to the greatest physician of all time and he put the right words in my mouth to ask these doctors for a particular test to do. That is when they finally found something other than "normal" results that they could treat.
But before we get to that, I have to mention that I developed an itching all over my body while having the body pains. This itching was not a rash and it started on my feet and went up to my shoulder blades- the feeling is that of a thousands ants crawling inside my BLOOD. I am not sure why that is the way I felt to describe it but let me tell you that when my cousin told me to do a blood transfusion with the blood of Jesus in my prayers, this itching disappeared within 4 days. Although, I was still having pain, this gave me hope and more faith with which to fight for complete healing.
Fast forward to a month and a half ago, I had my last ultrasound where as I mentioned above they found a "variation of normal" something in my body that they felt could not be the cause for my pain because it was too small. Then they made a recommendation for treatment that is usually reserved for the bigger ones. I asked God what he wanted me to do because this was contrary to what I was trying to achieve in terms of long term health. God told me to go ahead and ask for this treatment and that he would take care of the rest. I went to church that Sunday and the pastor asked everyone who was sick to come in front for prayers and I really felt God touch me in that moment. So I went to my appointment on the following Friday and I asked for the medication and it was given to me without fuss or disbelief. I can now say that I have not had this pain for over a month.
This is not to say that I did not have people thinking I was crazy, making me doubt myself and giving up on trying to be healed. But I learned through all of this that the only person I should seek advice from and listen to is God. He is the only one who knows how to work all things for my good even when what he is telling me does not make sense to my human mind. That is the basis of faith- just trusting God and the results you cannot yet see will start materializing. I want to thank God for healing me twice.
