What I Learned From Bouncing Back From Bells Palsey & Lyme Disease
The only thing that got me through bells Palsy and Lyme disease and that month was the word of God and his presence. It wasn’t Echart Tolle or any other new age techniques or thought processes it was the Bible. Jesus, Holy Spirit and my faith community. That’s why it’s so key to have all of it.
Things I have learned from bouncing back from Bells Palsy and Lyme
If God is for me who can be against me
Everything is happening for me, not against me. Learning that I have to truly accept this life is a battle and a game. So how can I get more on the offensive side of my strategy? The sword of the spirit, this means I may need quote scripture and also what can I be proactive about? Remember Jesus is the guard of our soul. The enemy is always after our soul. Most of the time the world offers us counterfeit comfort that feels good in the moment but will actually end up leaving us feeling more empty after. This is why alcohol drugs and sex is so prevalent in our society. If we feel bad then some people think I feel like this because I need a drink, a certain drug or sex but that’s not the case at all. All of those things will end up making you feel worse. Only the presence of God, the peace of God that transcends all understanding and being in his will can heal you. There is no better feeling. And when you’re on that path its a path of favor, healing, revelation. This does not mean you will not face trouble as Jesus says take heart you will face heart but he already overcame the world. Being a Christian does not mean having less problems, being a follower of Jesus means you will have a fruits of the spirit to overcome those problems, everything happens for us. So if God is allowing a thorn on your side that means he wants to strengthen you. He wants to reveal something to you. So when something bad happens to you, don’t just asking God why me? Ask him what can you learn from this? What kind of testimony can you make from this? How can you come out of this even better than before.
All things are possible with God. I came out of this with a stronger faith than ever. When I was in the hospital and they told me I have Bells Palsy and its is temporary but also my face my not go back to normal. I had to decide right there and there what am I going to decide to think about. It is all in our mind, that's why in Romans 12:2 it says renew our minds to the way of God and not this world. The way of the world is worry and believing the diagnosis of doctors but the way of God is believing his promises for our lives. So I had to set my mind on believing that I will go back to 100% health no matter what anyone else says. As it says in Mark 11:23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.
I kept praying and telling self constantly throughout the day I am 100% healed in Jesus’s name. There is truly no other option, I couldn’t allow my mind to think any other way but 100% healing and power. And I thought to myself how can this challenge better me? And I got excited about that too. And I also reached out to many friends to pray for me as well. Community is so important.
I do believe that we can be content in every circumstance if we have the right mindset. What we think eventually becomes our reality. That one mistake that cost that person 5 years was actually done multiple times in his mind first. If we feel temptation, greed, anger, hatred or envy we need to have God help us with those things when they are small so they won’t get rooted deeply. We need God to wipe us clean from everything but it’s always easier to do it when the problem is small than when it is bigger. We can be content in every circumstance if we believe that everything is happening for us and not against us. Even during the hard times or struggling times it might be hard to think like that. We have get our minds to that level and to that foundation because if not then our minds will go astray then our body will go astray then our life will go astray. Take care of it now before it gets bigger. God loves the little and he loves obedience.
This generation needs leadership. And if you’re reading this right I believe God is calling you to lead whenever you are. In your home, your job, your neighborhood. It’s time to really dig our foot deep into the firm foundation Christ has given us and no be shaken by culture. The people who culture praises (not all) are unfortunately not the role models for us nor for our future generations. I believe he has called you specially to break generational curses in your bloodline. It is scientifically proven that trauma and habits are genetically passed down. What can you do today for someone else? What can you do today to step up? What can you do today to show mercy for someone even though they have wronged you? I know this message is for me too, how can we be an example of what living Christlike actually looks like, and I’m telling you right now, living in the righteousness and peace of God is the best feeling in the world. Nothing can compare. As Jesus said if you do the work of the father he and God will dwell and work in you and make your body a dwelling place. Sometimes this can be scary but it’s always worth it.
“Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.”
John 14:23
