&quot; I felt a jolt down one side of my body, and everything on that side went ice cold. This happened in only a few seconds of time. As the warmth returned, the pain was gone.&quot;
Kathy, what an amazing story. Thanks for sharing!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Anita, I have been healed at the altar.  I was a new Christian in 1990 and had just been diagnosed with fibromyalgia.  The pain and fatigue were debilitating and I was only 31 years old.

I did not grow up in a church that practiced altar calls or invitations forward for healing.  Though I did not understand it, I trusted my pastor.

During prayer, I felt a jolt down one side of my body, and everything on that side went ice cold.  This happened in only a few seconds of time.  As the warmth returned, the pain was gone.  It was amazing to not feel pain on one side.

I told pastor what had happened and he said he would keep on praying that week for full healing.  The fatigue was greatly diminished over the next few weeks and one morning I awoke pain-free on the other side.

I have not had this disease return these many years.   God healed me completely.   There are other health issues I have now, in my 50&#039;s, but not fibromyalgia.   

I think God healed me that way to show me His power because a huge storm was about to descend on my life and my family.  I needed to know to trust Him, to believe His word, and to have patience (wait for the complete healing).  

I would use that lesson for the next four years of spiritual warfare.  I thank God for both the lesson and the release from the disease.  Thank you for letting me share.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Again, you have written a painfully honest post. We still follow James 5 about the laying on of hands by the elders of the church, but as I read the Gospels, I see how Jesus heals in various ways. We need to pray always and be ready for the instant healing, even if it takes many years.
I do reject the saying often said in the church I grew up, &quot;The spirit is willing, but the body is weak,&quot; in the respect that we can&#039;t be healed or overcome. Yes, that is scriptural in our own flesh, but we are overcomers in the Holy Spirit.  Answered prayer is always a journey. You have written about the life journey well.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I can understand your journey of pain and the request for healing...but it doesn&#039;t come when you want it to come.  It took me some years of going through verbal abuse, sarcadosis (tumor-like growths in my lungs), diverticulitis and lingering high cholesterol to find relief from the first two conditions.  My weight has something to do with the high cholesterol but I am reducing the sugar and carbs from my diet to help lose unwelcome pounds.  I can empathize with all your efforts to find the resolution to your ailments.  But God has His time table and knows we must lean on Him and learn His ways until the health condition is resolved.  There could be instant healing but more likely it is necessary to experience dying to self and living in resurrection power in order to learn God&#039;s ways.  I applaud your search and how much you share of your journey to help others in similar straits.]]></description>
