First, get your head out of the gutter. (LOL). This post is
about self-healing or laying hands on ourselves. It is very important that we
understand that God has given us the power to heal ourselves through our faith.
I am not saying that doctors are not necessary; however, God has performed
miracles that even doctors have not had the ability to explain. I believe that
there are natural and supernatural ways to be healed, and I want to share them
with you.
When I decided I was ready to have a child, I was aware that
I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is “a common
endocrine system disorder among women of reproductive age. Women with PCOS may
have enlarged ovaries that contain small collections of fluid — called
follicles — located in each ovary as seen during an ultrasound exam. Infrequent
or prolonged menstrual periods, excess hair growth, acne, and obesity can all
occur in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. In adolescents, infrequent or
absent menstruation may raise suspicion for the condition.”
So after consulting with my OB/GYN, I began a series of
fertility treatments, (pills, basal temping, ovulation predictor kits, etc.) in
order to conceive a baby. Nothing worked. I prayed and cried, and cried and
prayed, but nothing seemed to happen. It seemed like just because I wanted to
be pregnant, I would see pregnant women EVERYWHERE. I was so very happy for
them, but I so wanted to be pregnant also.
Eventually, we were unable to continue treatments because of
costs, and I reconciled with myself that it was possible it wasn’t going to
happen. I also knew that if it did happen, it was God’s will.
So I began natural healing. I decided to change my lifestyle.
I changed my diet, I let go of sodas, I exercised, and more. I purged all
negative thoughts and things that were in my life and I chose to consider positive thinking. I was not thinking about being pregnant at all! Then one
day, I WAS PREGNANT! It didn't happen quite the way I wanted, or in the timing I wanted. Still, it was the happiest moment in my life.
The condition I was diagnosed with also causes women with
this syndrome to have low progesterone levels. Progesterone, in pregnancy, is
used to nurture the fetus. “A supply of progesterone to the endometrium
continues to be important during pregnancy. Following a successful
implantation, progesterone helps maintain a supportive environment for the
developing fetus. After 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta takes over
progesterone production from the ovaries and substantially increases
progesterone production.”
When women with PCOS become pregnant, they usually have to
take supplements for their first 8-10 weeks of pregnancy, while being monitored,
to reduce the risk of miscarriage. Here is where God stepped in supernaturally.
When I became pregnant, my body formed a cyst in my ovary that emitted
progesterone for 8-10 weeks. I did not need the supplements! My doctors were
very shocked by this because they were very familiar with my condition, and assumed I would need supplements. I KNOW
that Myles was meant to be here.
When understanding how to self-heal, we have to activate our
faith. This is what happened with the woman in the Bible with the issue of
blood. Matthew 9:20-21 says, “And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for
twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said
to herself, ‘If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.’ But
Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, ‘Be of good cheer,
daughter; your faith has made you well.’ And the woman was made well from
that hour.”
This woman believed that she would be healed. Not by begging.
Not by fasting. Not by giving money. She didn’t even need him to notice
that she was there. She just had faith.
I am aware that there are times people are overcome with
illness and they die. I will NEVER be the one to say that they did not have enough faith, because I believe God has a reason for everything. But this does not
dismiss our personal responsibility for each of our individual lives’. Every
situation does not have the same outcome. I am here to encourage you to take
charge of YOUR outcome.
Don’t be afraid to touch yourself. Your hands have the power
to heal. God has granted us the power to do so. If he said that we could move mountains with faith as small as
a mustard seed, wouldn’t this include self-healing? I do believe that there are
times we have to go to our prayer partners, because sometimes our flesh gets so
weak that we need some intercessors. But the stronger we become, the more we
have the power to pray over ourselves.
Do some natural healing- take care of yourself. Do some
supernatural healing- believe that God can and God will. Move that mountain. Activate your faith. And stand in great
expectation of your testimony.
Peace.
