On Thursday, August 11, 2016, I experienced stroke symptoms.
I had awakened from a nap to find the left side of my face, hand, and foot numb. I had difficulty moving my hand and walking.
I
knew I was in trouble. The first thing I did was pray, seeking the Lord as to what to do. I solicited prayers from the prayer warriors at my church. And based upon Godly counsel, I sought medical attention.
My blood pressure was sky high. Many of you know that my grandmother died of a stroke at the age of 47 and I am not too many years beyond that age.
Praise God, my blood pressure was brought down with medication. Now, here is where the story gets really interesting.
I had a brain CT scan, however no evidence of a recent stroke was seen! However, there was evidence of an "old" stroke on the scan. I have never had any stroke before of which I'm aware.
My personal belief is that the "old" stroke was not old at all, but the new event that God healed. The doctor could not find anything new in my brain. The prayers of the righteous do avail much!
At this juncture, I still have some numbness in my fingers and toes on the left, but it is getting better every
day.
God is still in the healing business. I am learning something else through this experience:
This situation came to pass, but God’s word comes to last!
Now, some of you may wonder: "She is always talking about health – eating right and exercising. And yet, this affliction still happened to her. What is the point?"
If you are doing what is right, yet something bad happened to you anyway, then you might wonder the same thing about that situation.
The following is must-read wisdom about dealing with your own wilderness situation and the one thing you must avoid.
Hint: It is something that Jesus did not do in His own wilderness experience!
