Healing Question. HELP !!

[chinalily42]

I have had issues of health for the past month. In the ER twice where they gave me the wrong RX. It turned into a staff infection and enen spread to my face. My DH took me to a ER in Orlando and they really helped me. I was in the hospital for 7 days.

My dilema is that for two weeks I never slept, tore my bed apart in pain, cried and prayed crying out to the Lord to help me or heal me. My DH litterally had to hold me down I was convulsing so much from the pain.

Hon,

I have been in your shoes. When my I was 7 months pregnant my husband who had high blood pressure begin bleeding from a bad tooth. I mean rush to the hospital so you do not bleed to death bleeding. This was happening two or three times a week. Prayer warriors came over from my Church and prayed for him. I could not understand why God did not heal him. By the time, my son was born, my husband nearly bled to death in the hospital room with me. I was devastated that God was not seeming to hear our prayers. My husband ended up in the hospital for two weeks and I was juggling a new born and rushing back and forth to the hospital. Thank God hubby ended up okay. I never got an answer from God why He did not heal my husband, but I got peace and sometimes, that is all we get on this side of Heaven.

The best thing you can do is realize that God still loves you and even if we do not understand why He allows somethings to happen to us, He has a good reason for it. Sometimes, we just have to say, that we will serve God no matter what happens and just trust Him to know best. I am praying that God will give you peace.
Remember the old song: It will be worth it all when we see Jesus.

I'm hoping I'm going to get into an internship and maybe a job in this field. I'm going to be designing software that will hopefully prevent Rx mix ups from ever happening (plus a billion other things)!

Believe it or not, medicare is actually lagging FAR behind other businesses and companies in the reguard of information accuracy and sharing. It makes me sick.

On another subject, Maybe there was something you were supposed to find out or learn? Something that you couldn't if he did miraculously healed you? Or it could have been a test.
For instance, Job, who lost basically everything and got covered in painful boils all over his body. It was a test of faith for him.

As far as I know, there's two kinds of faith, short term and long term. The short term is okay I suppose , until things come along like Christian persecution. People without long term real faith will denounce God. That's where people with long term faith will be recognized.

I could be wrong, but anytime my prayers don't get answered, I ask myself if I'm praying for the right thing, Am I actually being given an opportunity by God and not acting on it, or am I being tested?

I am glad you are better now. :hug

First, I want to ensure you, that you did nothing wrong. God CAN heal today, but God doesn't always heal when WE think He should. The promise of our healing, by His stripes, are a heavenly promise. We live in a dying body, in a dying world and things are going to happen to us in this life. In this case, it was a doctor error, not Gods. (Not that God errors.) Sometimes, God will intervine, sometimes He intervines in ways we don't yet realize, I think back to a number of health emergencies in my life. When people are taught God WILL heal you and if you are not healed, then it's because you lacked faith or "you did the proceedure wrong", ie: you prayed for healing after the initial prayer, showing lack of faith; you didn't "speak the Words" in faith. This is all WOF, and it is not Biblical. Many of us have gone thru things, where we wonder "why", but the jewel in it all, is how we still trusted in Him and did not lose faith or curse Him for our trials. God's always glorfied when we endure tribulations and still praise Him thru them. So, you did nothing wrong, dear one...God was with you, and is still with you. You are now feeling better, your child was healthy and your husband was given back to you after his health crisis. Could not these be the answser to prayer? Our answers are not always what we might think they should be. I love the line in Garth Brooks song, "I thank God for unanswered prayers", many times things I prayed for, I realized much later how blessed I was that God didn't grant my every "wish". We will receive our glorified bodies and never have to face things such as this again. I pray this brings you comfort, He loves you and you are blessed for not losing faith. :hug

Betty,

Thank you soooo much for your words of encouragement! I knew this was the place to come. I am on the ment just have fear of it coming back really not knowing what caused it from the beginning.
Even if He slay me .... I will trust Him.

One thing that did happen on my last hour at the hospital after being kept an additional day because the Dr. didn't call to release me is a woman came into my room to be admitted. She was crying in pain and crying out to God saying " God please help me". It tore my heart out. She sounded just like me a week earlier. She was in great pain. I jolted up, opened the curtain and said Don't give up. God is with you even if you can't feel Him. I prayed for her. She said God had put me in the room just for her at that time. She said she had prayed for death and the Rapture to get her from her paim. I had did the same. Maybe it was all for her at just that time?

I too have had these questions about healing. I felt God being with me during it all, even tho it was feeling like an eternity getting thru it! I didn't have physical pain, but when I woke up(17 hr surgery) after 2 days in ICU, and couldn't even roll over, the emotional thing was really trying! Four months in hospital/rehab/nursing home was a real trial! Another year 1/2 recovery! I can only believe in an earthly healing, Job got one! I'm believing in that healing for my double vision, lame leg and arm, numbness on side of head, deaf in one ear, He got me thru this far, and I'm trusting Him to do the rest. I still have 15% of an orange sized tumor in my brain, they want to do radiation, but I'm a leeeetle leary being too close to my brain! It's been 3 years since surgery, and I'm trusting Him, for the WHOLE recovery. I sure was amazed at the godly people He put in care of me:nodit made the whole thing soooooooooooooooooo 'memorable'! Chaplin, nurses, rehab people, EVERONE WAS UNFORGETABLE!!!!! The lady:hug who helps me with my errands/cleaning, I truly FEEL Gods hand!!!!!!

[chinalily42]

Wow! You have been through a lot. I appreciate you sharing it with me. I will be praying for your continued healing and encouragement. The Lord will ultimately heal us through the rapture of grave and give us our Glorified bodies. Oh, how wonderful that will be!

I remember days like this. In 2005 my dh fell ill on our vacation. We had rented a cabin at a lake a few hours away from our house. About 10 minutes away from the cabin, dh cleared his throat and said "I think I may be coming down with something". Well, you could say that . . .
We spent two days at the lake and he just kept getting worse, his fever wouldn't break and he had a sore throat. I didn't bring a flashlight, so I couldn't look at his throat (well, at the time, I smoked so I had a lighter, but that wasn't really helpful for peering down someone's throat). We cut the vacation short, rushed back home. I got a look at his throat and realized he had strep throat. We took him to the clinic for some broad spectrum antibiotic. The next day, he was having pain that radiated from his shoulders down to his abdomen. I took him to the emergency room and he was immediatedly admitted to the ICU. He had strep throat that lead into pneumonia that produced pericarditis that lead to congestive heart failure. The doctors said they had never seen it progress that quickly in an industrialized country. Now my dh is fine, no lingering effects, but it took a couple of years for the pericarditis attacks to stop.

Long story short - I had been brainwashed by tv shows that talk about miracle healing etc.(not tv evangelists, just the "it's a miracle!" type shows) and was very angry for a long time because the pericarditis attacks were completely debilitating and just kept happening. I still believed, but I was mad about it. One day I asked dh if he had pains and he said no, he hadn't had any for several months; they had suddenly stopped.

ETA: The doctors initially told me "one more day and he would have been dead". I told dh that I believed that this was it for him. He told me that he never felt like he was going to die. The interesting part of the whole thing was that Interns kept coming in to listen to his chest because his pericardium was so inflamed that his heart was basically rubbing against his lung with every beat and you could hear the rub through a stethoscope. It sounded a lot like two sponges rubbing together . . .
