Illness is caused by the devil

When God created us, He intended us to never age, never to be ill and to always walk with Him.

I recently took a Bible course about healing.

As I took this course and looked up Bible scriptures, I was convinced that illness in the world is caused by sin.

Eve was tempted in the Garden of Eden by the devil, thereby giving up our guardianship of the earth to the devil.

Under the devil's guidance people of the earth started to sin and started to become ill and age.

God sent His Son, Jesus, to be the last sacrificial lamb to die for sin. My sin, your sin, the sins of all born on the earth.

I gave my heart and life to Jesus when I was very young; age eight. I can not say that I have always walked and been as the Redeemer would have me be. But I can say that I know that Jesus died for sin; lay in the grave for three days and rose on the third day.

I recently returned to follow Him. My life is not perfect. Many of the decisions and paths that I followed as a young adult were not good.

But I can now say that I have a joy in my heart that makes my life easier. I have peace about what is going on around me.

Follow Jesus, Son of God, to the Father; be filled with the Holy Spirit and you will find peace and joy filling your heart and life.

Philippians 4:7
King James Version
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Admitting Mortality

May 26, 2020

Got up Monday morning, May 26, with a slight headache and nausea. When I stood up the world did a slow turn! Double vision, which finally went away but left behind the headache and blurred vision!

I know the signs of a stroke; but I ignored them! I finished the rest of the week with blurred vision and a mild headache that would not go away. Along with those two symptoms I felt, not dizzy nor disoriented; but as if I was out of step with the rest of the world.

I volunteer for Dare to Care through my church, First Nazarene Church - Shepherds Pantry. On Tuesday June 2, the day that I normally help distribute food to my community, I was sent home because I started getting dizzy and sick. I went right to sleep and slept through to the next morning.

On June 3, 2020, eight days after the original symptoms started; I went to the emergency room.

Test after test was ran. Diagnosis was a mini stroke! I was transferred to the stroke unit in Louisville, Kentucky.

Each and every test came back negative! But I still had blurred vision, a headache and was light headed - my definition for feeling out of synchronization with the rest of the world.

On Friday morning, June 5th, I awoke with no headache, no blurred vision and I was once again in synchronization with the rest of the world. The doctors decided to let be go home!

The doctors final conclusion was that I had a transitional stroke. That is what the doctors call having all of the symptoms of a stroke but nothing shows up in the testing.

Conclusion? Don't ignore what is happening to your own body! We will all be called to go home some day. Don't rush your trip home by ignoring what you know is happening.

What happened could have been so much worse. I am one of those people who go through live trying to get as much done each day as is humanly possible. I have decided that I will slow down a little and enjoy the live that God, the Father has given me.

Take care everyone - God bless and keep you all.
