wonderful revelation

This past week I battled a cold. I'm fortunate enough to work in the Wellness department at Earth Fare in Johnson City, so I have access and knowledge about the weapons I could use to fight it. So I chose, and on the third day it seemed that I chose well as my symptoms greatly decreased. Yay!

But then I did something foolish: I ate cheese. Yes, it was raw milk parmesan cheese, but it's still dairy. Any way you cut it, eating dairy produces mucus (wheat, too). Mucus provides a place for toxins & bacteria to hide out. And the next morning, I woke up with this odd congestion that seemed to be living behind my nose. Nothing I did seemed to get rid of it. It took me a little bit to figure out why I was congested again, but once I did, I sure felt like a blockhead.

I finished my regimen of lozenges, and the new congestion stayed the same even though there was no dairy. I was puzzled.

But Sunday morning at Shekinah, I got some revelation, a wonderful breakthrough. It's good to have a challenging pastor. She challenged us to ask God where our disobedience is, why our prayers aren't getting answered. So I did. I miss singing, and I'd really like to be completely healed. And the Lord so faithfully gifted me with conviction (it really is a gift- doesn't that seem odd?). He brought to mind three people He's placed in my life to labor for in prayer, three people I have recently forgotten to pray for.

So I began praying for one person in particular who was on my heart, and the more I prayed, the more the congestive fog in my sinuses dissipated. Noticeably & clearly. Later that day I was even closer to 100%. Wow. Amazing! Praise God for His revelation, for wanting to heal! And for the blessing to pray over other people.
