Hello Prayer Closet community!
I hope August finds you well. Did you know that the number 8 symbolizes new beginnings? Reach out and embrace the fresh start that God has in store for you.
To those joining us for the first time, a warm welcome! This space is dedicated to speaking truth and shaming the devil. I share what the Lord places on my heart because I understand that my journey is part of a greater purpose.
The inspiration for this post stems from moments when I didn't wholly heed the Lord's advice. Finding our own solutions or procrastinating on His guidance is disobedience. Period!
Over a year ago, God cautioned me about my sugar intake, Specifically, my habitual medium iced coffee with "five pumps caramel, two cream and extra ice from Dunkin’ Donuts." Instead of full obedience, my solution was, “Hey Jesus, let’s try this instead..I’ll just reduce how many pumps of caramel I get. It’ll work so much better… trust me.” Truthfully, I just wasn’t ready to part with it.
Interestingly, my coffee obsession began after I stopped breastfeeding my son at four months. Actually, maybe it was a little before that but it was that bad. Prior to that, I was a tea person. But it wasn’t really the coffee, it was the caramel I craved!
The Lord consistently reminded me to reconsider my choices, especially as they began to affect my health. By May, I had had enough, admitting, “Ok Lord, I’m ready to let this go now. My way clearly didn’t work. Please help me.” After some progress, old habits came back in June.
By the end of June, a severe leg pain emerged. In search of relief, I turned to a live prayer session on YouTube. There, the gifted Destiny Thomas, “The Prayerapist delivered a message for me from the Holy Spirit, “Tasha, I told you at some point that your disobedience, when it comes to sugar will start to manifest in your physical body. I need you to obey all the instructions I have given you not with the bare minimum changes you have been trying to make. stop delaying, saying you’ll start next time. I said what I said my timing is perfect even when it’s uncomfortable to you.”
The emotional weight of this realization was immense. However, the Lord's reassurance of His love and promise of healing was comforting.
Yet, God’s unwavering love shone through, promising healing. This was further solidified on last night of August 11, during a Zoom session titled “Healing the Healer in You.” Hosted by Mykesha Mack with Dr. Elsa Harney as the speaker. Their words and prayers were a balm to my soul.
The Lord, through Dr.E , addressed the pain in my leg. At first ,I didn’t think it was for me. There were so many other people in the room but, I felt a physical sensation of healing. My leg stared tingling, it felt like it was on fire.
I am deeply grateful to both Mykesha Mack and Dr. Elsa Harney for their obedience to the divine calling.
God kept his Promise! I AM HEALED, THE HEALER, THE GREAT PHYSICIAN HAS HEALED ME!
I'm thankful for God's ceaseless love and grace, even in my moments of disobedience. My hope is that my story resonates with someone out there, Let go of whatever God told you to, listen to whatever he is saying! walk in your new beginnings.
For anyone who finds themselves struggling on their spiritual journey or seeking guidance, I highly recommend connecting with the women of God I mentioned. Their wisdom, faith, and dedication can are a beacon of light!
Blessings,
Natasha
