Healing

They called me names. Yes they did the doctors called me scleroderma, amblyopia, sjogrens disease, graves disease, (What the heck is this?). Yes, the Doctors began calling me names I couldn’t spell or pronounce. All at a time when I could have been living a fast paced life, I had to slow things down. I believed I was not only going to be healed but also made whole and compensated for all the pain I was in. I believe what the devil meant for my bad God would turn into good. All along I stood on the word God called me, and that is healed. In Matthew 8:2,3 A leper came and worshipped Jesus saying Lord if thou wilt, make me clean… Jesus touched him saying I WILL and the leper was cleansed and made whole. So I know it’s Gods will I be healed and made whole. I stood on that word of God. All along keeping an eye out for my healing. Then it came God healed me. Yes I experienced healing. Often times I would watch healing on TV and praying for others when it happened to me I was excited to also experience healing. I knew it was God healing me because there was a yearning in my heart. Also a tug on my heart to watch this television show. A nutritionist Doug Kaufmann began talking about if you’ve been to the Doctors and after all the medicine still no relief it’s a fungus and its time to make necessary changes. Well the Holy Spirit kept drawing me to this TV show where this man Doug Kaufmann a Christian would drill in my head day after day about contaminated foods. The more I watched and the changes I made to my diet freed me from the pain and suffering I was experiencing. The initial healing was heart felt and awesome. I still have a way to go. I am on the right track God did say he wills that I be healed. And all along the healing was here. The foods God created and meant for us to eat without all the processing and handling from man was the beginning of my healing. See sugar is from a sugar cane (or corn syrup) God created. When man decided to put this ingredient into everything we eat (that they process) it makes us sick causing diabetes and sugar addictions. Out of control yeast infections (which thrives off of sugar) in our bodies keeps us fat and sick. As I began to learn the importance of what you put into your mouth the more I understood healing is yours. You have to take it. Take control and don’t let food addictions of sugar, breads, white
