I just wanted to share a few things about my health.
When I was young, a nurse threatened my (private parts) with bodily harm when I was 4 years old. I never really got over that emotional trauma done by the hand/mouth of a nurse.
I’ve had a hard time Trusting Doctors…..some of this is good because some doctors as well as the medical system is one big money making operation. (Especially in the area of cancer treatment).
While my paranoia about the medical establishment has served me well for years in that I research things for myself and don’t take their word for everything, sometimes I’m reluctant to get “in the hands” of too many doctors.
Well today around 11 AM ( Sunday 12/2/2019), I had a pretty scary episode happen to me. I was eating some food I probably shouldn’t have been eating with blood sugar problems (pancakes a big no no). So I didn’t test my BS as I was supposed to do before I eat…… my blood sugar skyrocketed to 580 which I understand is dangerous and can affect your mind and body.
But what happened instead is my heart rate shot up to 150 beats per minute and my oxygen in my blood dropped to below 80. [ I was wearing an O2/Pulse monitor on my wrist and finger]
My only thoughts (God forgive me) was…..Am I having a heart attack ? and where was my phone to call 911. Normally I am not willing to go to the hospital as they have a way to make you walk away with a bill of 10,000+$ and you never know what criteria they use for insurance vs. out of pocket.
But I thought I only had maybe 1 or 2 minutes to get my phone and dial 911 before I could have passed out and not been able to call anyone and die of a heart attack. I don’t want to die at the hands of the devil’s sicknesses.
Long story short, for the past few days I’ve been having dreams of falling down a well and not being able to call anyone. On top of that my blood O2 levels have been falling through-out the night as I slept. (I have been monitoring it for last 7 days)
So I went to hospital and they did a bunch of tests to rule out heart attack, stroke or something else. They gave me a shot of insulin and a sedative and an IV full of saline water. I recuperated and am home.
Of course, depending on insurance….a cat scan and hospital visit for 7 hours can be very expensive…..maybe even the cost of a good used car. I broke my shoulder in 2011 and went to a hospital for 2 hours and the bill was $5700. At the time I was unemployed and insurance didn’t cover much.
Pastor Manning is right…..we do need to drive out sickness in Atlah. I want to be healthy enough to be a good testimony and have the energy and finances to bless…..and not waste such things on medical bills.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On another note: it can be humbling to admit you might have a problem. When I was about 24, a 10 year old boy got it in his head to punch me in the testicles 3 times before you could snap your fingers. Ever since then, my “sex drive” plummeted to almost nothing in my mid 30’s. My body got fat and out of shape even though I worked out. I never thought that I needed healing of my manhood, but I’m pretty sure I do.
I submit this to you all….as it is NOT something that is easy to share. Some of you might have internal problems of a medical nature that makes it hard for you to make it through your day. You feel shame that maybe you don’t have the energy to do what you really want to do or you have pain and fatigue that is sapping your joy.
It is pretty universal problem all across America. Some of it is because of outright sin or support for Trump or Obama. Others have been cursed because of bad parenting or sexual sins early on in life. We must be willing to bring these things before the Lord for forgiveness but healing as well.
Pray for me and each other. We do need healing of a physical and emotional nature in many areas in our lives.
Don’t neglect the emotional sicknesses either. I’m known for my paranoia among former family members and some co-workers. An awareness of what wicked evil people can do is healthy….but fear and anxiety is not trust in the Lord and neither is depression which Pastor has told us.
Peace to my fellow bothers and sisters in the Lord
- James David Manning I’m going to read this account statement tomorrow on Trust In The Lord Hour. Your story is very similar to other men I have talked with over the years. I am led by Jesus to to drive sickness from ATLAH. My son Joseph, your testimony is a healing to others. I will read this tomorrow.
- Joseph Manning PTL Pastor. I want to help out where I can with what I’ve been through. It might help others bring these things out to be dealt with. Thank you for your prayers. Peace
