No more pills

God again spoke to me and told me to go on a fast which I promptly started the next day.

On Wednesday, September 23, 2009, I started my fast, and it was to be the first of many that I would do. It had been so long since I had done any fasting I did not know how to do it safely.  Once again, God had His hand on me, as I would later find out even in that.

God woke me around 3:00 a.m., and told me to “go to the kitchen.”  Now I was confused.  Why did God tell me to go to the kitchen when He had just told me the day before to go on a fast?  It didn’t make sense to me. There is food in the kitchen, and the temptation with food and me are not a good combination.  So why did He want me in there? I knew that God does not change His mind the way we do. There was something more to this. Still it made no sense to me; why go to the kitchen? I thought to myself, “God does not have Schizophrenia or Bipolar disorder episodes.” So who am I to question God? Not to mention I was tired and did NOT want to get up out of my warm, comfortable bed.

God spoke to me again for the second time and told me to “go to the kitchen.”  I got up and went to the kitchen. He told me I no longer needed the prescriptions that I had taken for approximately 14 years.  I asked Him which one?  He said “ALL of THEM”; High Blood Pressure (Toprol), Depression (Effexor XR), Sinus (Zertec-D). I was EXTREMELY aware that if I had it wrong, I would not be around long.

Just once in the past, I had TRIED to stop taking the pills on my own. I thought that being strong willed and stubborn my determined mind could get me off all those pills. I would soon learn just how wrong I could be. It did not go very well. I could barely even get out of bed.  Then I could only go as far as the couch, and there I stayed for the rest of the day. I couldn’t even walk to the bathroom, for being so out of breath and my heart would race as if I was running a triathlon. My skin felt clammy and I was extremely drained.  I did not understand what was happening to me. It was such a strange feeling. I recall telling my mother that it was hard to describe.  I went to the doctor and he told me I could never do that again.  He said I was lucky not to have had a stroke or died.  He told me that he could not just stop a patient cold turkey.  He said he would have to gradually wean them off.

But that is NOT what God did.  He took me off ALL the pills and it was INSTANTANEOUS!

For me there was NO question – I KNEW what God had told me to do, and I was going FULL STEAM AHEAD!  Nothing was going to stop me!  That nasty one; (the devil) had no power over me any longer.

I had told God just three (3) days prior; “I purposed in my heart that from that day forward I would serve Him.”  It was a clear decision I made.

Part of serving God is being obedient to what He tells us to do.

Obedience

“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:  But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”  Genesis 2:16-17

“And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.” Genesis 22:18

“(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” Romans 2:13

That was my first challenge. I would succeed. While I admit, there was a fear of the unknown and worst yet failing. I had to do as He had asked of me. I was not going to let God down.  I HAD been a failure far too long, but those days were behind me. God does not bring up our past once He has forgiven us, nor was I.  It is buried under His blood and there it would stay!

satan will TRY everything he can to make you rot with guilt about all your past sins.  The power of satan is limited if you will not allow him.

You need to realize that there is POWER when your sins are under JESUS’s blood. Don’t allow ANYONE to try to bring them back up to you. I will tell you I had a difficult time at first with this; I struggled greatly. How could God forgive me of my sins when I was such an incredible waste of life, and after all I had done?  As with most, I was my own worst critic. It was hard to believe God could really care, love, and forgive me.

It is a tough thing to do because even if no one else in your life tries to bring them back up, I can assure you satan will especially on a backslider. Don’t allow him; they are under the blood of Jesus! If the All Mighty God Himself does not hold them against us then you HAVE GOT to let them stay under the blood.

Rebuke the devil and he will flee

“Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.”  Jude 1:9

satan will tell you anything and everything. He will use every trick in the book:

He will try to come at you with every possible angle, after all, he knows your weaknesses/vises, and whom do you think gave them to you in the first place? Believe you me in the past 32 years I had given him plenty of ammo to use against me. He STILL tries, but it is futile.  As the Bible says you can only serve one master, and as the song says “I won’t turn back”.

One master

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”  Matthew 6:24

Can you imagine the MIRACLE that I would have missed out on?  By not doing, what God told me to do.  In my mind, it did not make sense.   

The answer is simple – Obedience. You might think then that I was an obedient child. Then you would be wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth. Once again, I am ashamed to admit it, and as they say the truth hurts!  OUCH again!

The reason God told me to go to the kitchen, I believe, was because that is where I kept all the pills. God knew where they were kept (on the island in the kitchen), and besides that was where God WANTED me to be.

I apologized to God, for questioning Him. I told Him I would never do that again. I know that God does not think the same as man, especially this one. Nor does man think the same way as God. We can’t see the big picture; just our tiny slice of the world in it.  The lesson learned was invaluable.

God not thinking like man

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”  Isaiah 55:8-9

The next morning I got up and haven’t taken any of those medications since and I‘ve NEVER had a single issue. NOT ONE!!!  THANK YOU JESUS!!!
