Yes, you read that correctly! I’m completely ecstatic to share with you that I experienced a complete physical healing from Lupus and Lyme Disease and I’ve been living symptom free for the past 3.5 years!
Let’s catch up :)
First of all, you’ve been so patient with me as I’ve taken quite a long break, thank you! When we last connected, I was starting to study what the Bible says about healing and as I was renewing my mind, I needed to step back from everything that connected me with former thinking habits. It was about a year’s process of mind renewal combined with a deliverance event that allowed my body to be restored.
Most changes occurred over the period of that year through holistic health care and lots of prayer and study, but the deliverance was on August 1, 2018 and I consider that the day of my healing. In that moment, I felt the freedom and release, a breezy feeling. The next morning I woke up feeling refreshed and energized for the first time I could remember — I was able to sweep the floor, I was able to create a meal! It took about 3 weeks to strengthen my back muscles before my 12 years of back pain was gone! The pain never returned, the fatigue never returned, the brain fog never returned! I’ve been completely symptom free of Lupus and Lyme ever since!
So that’s the quick overview of what happened! Now let me tell you how.
As I’ve meditated on how this happened, I’ve come to learn that what the Bible says about Mind Renewal is the same as the Science of Thought, and even the same as the Placebo Effect! I learned that the mind controls the brain, which controls the body. So when you whole-heartedly believe something, such as “by [Jesus’] stripes, I was healed”, it starts to change the chemicals and hormones released in your brain, which changes your entire physical response. Dr. Caroline Leaf and Curry Blake helped me when understanding this process.
I believe this is the “how” of my healing. I attribute all glory and praise to God in Heaven! He works in wondrous ways.
This may be a lot to take in, and you probably have many questions, especially if you yourself are living with chronic illness. First of all, I just want to make it clear that God doesn’t love me any more than he loves you. If he blessed me with a complete physical healing on this earth, that’s what he wants for you too — all you need to do is receive it! All you need to do is pray and ask. Jesus healed everyone that asked him.
Isaiah 53:4-5 (My re-worded summary from personal study)
Certainly Jesus/Yahusha took upon himself our physical sickness and carried the burden of our sorrow. We thought of this as God/Yahuah’s divine chastisement struck on him physically, humbling him in the harsh disciplinary treatment.
But Jesus/Yahusha was defiled because of our rebellion from godly living, he was physically bruised because we perverted that which is good through sin. Jesus/Yahusha took the punishment for our sins upon himself so that we can have peace. Jesus/Yahusha was physically marked black and blue to perform our physical and spiritual restoration and complete healing.
I used tools such as BlueLetterBible to look up each word’s Strong’s Concordance meaning in these verses.
This announcement is long overdue. I want to repent and ask for forgiveness for not sharing sooner. There was fear coupled with insecurity that held me back. So even though this post is brief, I’m glad it’s out there for you to know that God has held me in the right hand of his righteousness. I also find it amusing that I’m finally writing this on the 9 year anniversary of my heart failure (check out the story here).
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not for I am with you; be not dismayed for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
It’s also amazing to me as I read back on my previous posts. I had such faith that I would be healed, yet, I didn’t know quite where to place my faith. I knew that I would be restored but I didn’t know if it would be on this earth.
Now I KNOW. He came that we may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10)! Studying the healings of Jesus convinced me with every part of my being that He desires healing for us all. Whatever you are going through, bring it to Jesus.
By his stripes we were healed. By his blood we were atoned for.
Next time you take communion, remember that the bread and the cup symbolize these things. The bread is a symbol of his body, broken for us. When we eat of it, remember that he healed us of everything — physical and even mental & emotional too. When we take of the cup, we remember his blood poured out for our reconciliation — we are made right with God the Father and will live with him in the Kingdom of Heaven eternally when we accept that Jesus paid the consequence for our sin, death.
You have the opportunity to accept this right now.
When I was wresting with the time between understanding this and yet waiting for the physical manifestation in my body, I was given a beautiful prophetic dream of my healing. Friends also shared their prophetic visions of my healing. As encouraging as this was, it was still a struggle waiting to walk in this promise. In that time, I clung to this song and I want to share it with you. I danced for the first time in years to this song.

Thank you for coming back to see how I’m doing, years later. Thank you for praising God with me. I love you all and am praying for everyone that reads this.
I plan to share an update with how things have changed since my healing! Spoiler alert — we have a third child and a homestead now!
Love, shalom, and blessings to you all!
