The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. Revelation 1:14
A time came along the journey of my testimony, when the Father told me to stop trying to manage illness with diet, medication, natural supplements and vitamins and various other therapies. To give up the idolatry and trust him. Trust his Word.
So, I gathered everything up, and filled a black garbage bag and a gigantic tupperware case with all of my crutches, desperation and false hope. Many given as gifts, after I could no longer afford the doohickeys, contraptions and potions. Yahweh wanted me to see what would happen, as I graciously declined. He said simply,
"Notice. Watch." As he often does.
There was a hard revelation and even deeper repentance involved, as I rejected all witchcraft of Sodom and Egypt and the idolatry of Mystery Babylon. (No longer so mysterious.) But, this time, it wasn't as much for the sake of me and those whom I thought I was "blessing", by sharing some of these cursed means . . . but for what I witnessed in those around me, as I finally let my body preach.
The cover girl, now, bare naked, dangled her dainties before me. Only this time, fear was behind it. As I graciously declined, content with the ravages of illness on my body, knowing in faith that it was producing greater healing, I saw flashes of disgust and reviling. Because of a life of survival and trying to stay alive (and being unable to die, even when I no longer wanted to), I never miss a microexpression. I remembered what a wise person said to me, many years ago,
"Do not be surprised when you heal, that those who have been praying for you, caring for you and acting with your best interests in mind, are not happy."
Beware the hideous counterfeit, "love and light." Beauty and the Beast. It's so convincing and tempting. I was guilty, and have been set free by the blood of the Lamb. Come out of Vanity Fair. Get the real thing. Trade the perishable for the unperishable, before it is too late.
