MY NAME IS WANDA AND GOD HAS TRULY BEEN GOOD TO ME IN MY LIFE. WHEN I LOOK OVER MY LIFE AND SEE WHERE GOD HAS BROUGHT ME FROM, AND ALL THAT HE HAS PROTECTED ME FROM, ALL I CAN DO IS GIVE GOD THE PRAISE AND THE GLORY FOR HIS MERCY AND GRACE THAT HAS KEPT ME.
GROWING UP MY FAMILY DID NOT GO TO CHURCH SO MY KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND CHRIST WAS LIMITED. BUT I ALWAYS HAD A THRIST TO KNOW THE TRUTH BUT I NEVER PERSUED IT. I JUST LIVED MY LIFE CAREFREE AS ALWAYS. I CAN REMEMBER GOING TO CHURCH WITH MY GRANDMOTHER AND AFTER I WOULD LEAVE I WOULD SAY TO MYSELF, IF BEING A CHRISTIAN MEANT BEING LIKE HER THEN I WANTED NO PART OF THAT LIFE. THERE WAS JUST THINGS SHE SAID AND DONE THAT I KNEW WAS NOT CHRISTIAN LIKE.
I DO REMEMBER HAVING THIS THRIST AND JOINING A MT ZION AME CHURCH, BUT STILL THERE WAS SOMETHING MISSING. I WOULD SAY TO MYSELF THERE HAS GOT TO BE MORE.
SO AS I GOT OLDER AND MARRIED I HAD GOTTEN SICK WITH MY THIRD CHILD AND THE DOCTORS DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON ONLY THAT MY BODY WAS BREAKING DOWN AND I HAD BECOME VERY SICKLY. I HAD A VISION IN MY LIVING ROOM ONE DAY AND I SAW MY SON BEING BORN AND I DIED. WELL I WAS QUITE UPSET TOLD MY FAMILY AND MY HUSBAND AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS SO SICK I WAS SEEING THINGS. I KNEW WHAT I HAD SAW AND I TOLD GOD I DID NOT WANT TO GO TO HELL, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET RIGHT WITH HIM. A FEW DAYS LATER I GOT A CALL, IT WAS A WRONG NUMBER BUT THE LADY ON THE OTHER END WAS A FRIEND OF MY MOM'S, AND SHE INVITED ME TO CHURCH. AND I SAID YES AND GOD SAVED ME THAT DAY AND HEALED MY BODY, AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN THE SAME, AND THIS WALK WITH THE LORD HAS BEEN A DAILY ADVENTURE.
AS I GOT OLDER I STARTED HAVING HEALTH PROBLEMS, I WOULD PRAY AND CLAIM HEALING BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE THE HEALING I WAS LOOKING FOR. I HAVE HAD A HYSTERECTOMY, BACK SURGERY FOR SPINAL STENOSIS, HERNIATED DISC, THE SURGERY FAILED AND THE HERNIATED DISC CAME BACK, I NOW HAVE OSTEOARTHRITIS IN MY CERVICAL SPINE, LUMBAR SPINE, BOTH KNEES, CARPAL TUNNEL IN BOTH HANDS, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, DAMAGED NERVES, SJOGRENS SYNDROME, FIBROMYALGIA, HEART MURMUR, CHRONIC SINUSES, AND THE LIST CAN GO ON BUT I WILL STOP THERE.
I HAVE PRAYED ALL MY LIFE, I WAS A TRAVELING EVANGELIST FOR MANY YEARS AND LOVED IT, I HAVE SEEN GOD HEAL BROKEN BONES, GROW HAIR, HEAL SICKNESSES AND DISEASES. I KNOW GOD IS ABLE TO DO IT ALL.
BUT YET I COULD NOT GET MY HEALING IN THE WAY THAT I WANTED TOO. I USE TO BE BITTER, BUT NOW I FIND THAT I AM THANKFUL, NOT FOR THE PAIN, BUT FOR THE MANY PEOPLE IN THE SUPPORT GROUPS THAT I AM ABLE TO PRAY AND MINISTER TOO. SINCE BEING SO SICK I AM MORE CLOSER TO GOD THAN I HAVE EVER BEEN, PRAYING MORE, READING MORE, AND I HAVE SEEN GOD MOVE BY THE POWER OF PRAYER.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I AM NOT HEALED, BUT I KNOW THAT GOD HAS A PLAN FOR MY LIFE AND HE DID NOT BRING ME THIS FAR TO FAIL NOW, AND LOOSE ALL AND GIVE UP.
SO WHAT I AM LEARNING TO DO IS REST IN GOD AND HAVE TRUST AND FAITH IN HIS WORD, AND I DAILY LOOK FOR THE GOODNESS OF GOD TO BE MANIFEST IN MY LIFE WHILE I STILL LIVE ON THIS EARTH.
HE SAID SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER.
THERE IS NO PLACE ELSE I CAN GO, BUT TO GOD WHO IS THE AUTHOR AND THE FINISHER OF MY LIFE. I LOVE THE LORD AND I KNOW HE HEARS MY CRYS AND PETITIONS UNTO HIM.
SO THOSE THAT ARE SICK AND IN PAIN FROM WHATEVER ILLNESS, BE OF GOOD COURAGE AND STAND FIRM IN THE WORD, BECAUSE IF WE DON'T GET OUR HEALING ON THIS SIDE OF LIFE, WE WILL GET IT ON THE OTHER SIDE IN HEAVEN WITH OUR LORD. SO NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE IN, BECAUSE WITH JESUS WE WIN, WE WIN.
TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS AND THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL A LITTLE OF MY TESTIMONY.
