Started the year on a high note, with so much expectations and excitement. Towards the end of 2018, The Lord gave me a word for 2019; ‘Look up, The Drought Is Over, The Rains are Here‘ {which I discussed in 4 blog posts- you may wish to read that up}. I am thankful for the testimonies I’ve received from my blog subscribers, how the rains have been falling around them, Praise God! I am also thankful that The Lord have confirmed this Word that indeed It Is My New Season; the drought is over, the heavens are open and the rains are pouring down, rains of full, complete miracles, goodness and blessings of God.

But then there is a thief with a job description to steal, kill and destroy…

Somewhere towards the end of January, I started having thoughts of self-harm. Am I now a mental health case? Nope. I exposed myself and mind to evil.

Two things; One, I joined a group on Google+ with the name BIBLE, very misleading name indeed! It’s really Bible, but not The Holy Bible- Satanic Bible {YUP!}. My aim was simply to share the gospel among brethren; I found myself among wolves. Didn’t take me long to realize I’d stepped into the wrong territory. I got out! Praise God. But then a lot of stuff started happening around me.

Two, the first time I watched a horror movie many years ago, I spent about a week asking The Lord to clear my head and thoughts- I was oppressed every second of the day. The Lord saved me. This time, I watched another movie, wouldn’t really describe it as horror, but had some evilish stuffs. And that’s how I found myself oppressed and depressed. Thank God He sent me His Word-

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
Philippians 4:8 NKJV

Great news, I could choose what to think about!

The Lord reached out and delivered me. Halleluyah!

And just as I was celebrating my victory over those horrible thoughts, I started feeling a sharp persistent pain in my left breast, and then there was a lump! Oops! The Surgeon wanted to immediately yank it out {fearing malignancy), but I knew I’d made declarations repeatedly against malignancy in my body. I believe the Holy Bible, that ‘I shall decree a thing and it’ll be established’. Something about the Surgeon’s plan wasn’t aligning with my believe and declarations. So I said NO. I needed a second opinion on the decision. Scan, mammogram, blood tests, etc. Everything looked good. The devil is a liar 🙂 Next Surgeon that saw me said He couldn’t even locate the lump his colleague had measured and documented a week earlier {I am just smiling in my corner}. The pain persisted for a few more days, but finally gave in to ‘by His stripes I was healed‘. Months later the pain returned. This time there was a palpable lump; even visible to the ordinary eyes. The surgeon that saw me struggled to hide his fear. I was to be scheduled for all kinds of investigations. On a brief thought, the surgeon decided to stick in a needle. About 10mls of fluids emptied from a cyst. The surgeon said to me; “you are one lucky lady you know that”. I just smiled. My Father has come through for me one more time…it is not luck.

And just as I started celebrating that victory, my blood pressure went up! Actually had my first blood pressure scare in 2018; a reaction to the steroid therapy I received for paralysis on one side of my face 🙂 I’d just woken up in the morning and oh no, one side of my jaw was drooping, my smile was funny, my entire face looked distorted 🙂 Some medics thought it was a Bell’s palsy, others thought otherwise. My thought? The Lord would fix my face and He did, halleluyah!

I was given low dose anti-hypertensives to bring down the BP, but it shot up again 3 months later. Something wasn’t right. I insisted The Lord fixed it. Told Him I wasn’t interested in any medications. And yes, He gave me an answer of peace. I clearly heard to introduce a particular vegetable into my meals, that was it. The BP went down and stayed down {don’t ask me for my veggie, ask The Lord for your answer of peace}.

So this new surge wasn’t welcome at all. I seized the opportunity to run my routine medicals for the year- everything was perfect. I reminded The Lord that we’d settled this BP issue, He reminded me about my vegetables which I’ve been omitting from my meals 🙂 On a second review, the Physician decided he wouldn’t give me anti-hypertensives- that was my ‘ask anything in My name‘ answered. Praise God!

I woke up the next morning and lo all the horrible symptoms I described in my blog post ‘When The Doctor says No‘ were back in my body like a storm! How? yesterday I was cheerful, hale and hearty, today extremely dizzy, weak, light-headed, nauseous, etc etc??

This is March 2019, and certainly these symptoms are not the RAINS The Lord promised me. This is unacceptable. I missed mid-week service, barely did any work, to lie on my bed again for days, weeks, months?? Naaa. The next morning, Saturday, I grabbed my running shoes and yes, I jogged for about 30 minutes, confessing and proclaiming that ‘he whom the Son sets free is free indeed, and ‘with Christ Jesus, I can reach any height, climb any mountain and achieve any feat’. And I jogged the next day and the next. My balance is back! Halleluyah.

But the thief wasn’t done, I started having terrible pains in my renal area. Hian! {dialect exclamation}. They hurt me for about 3 days. Somehow, I knew it was needless going to the clinic, this was a mirage. I mean i just ran my routine medical checks (so I already went to the clinic…do same if you need to).

Laid my hands over the area many times declaring that my organs were perfect. Today, as I write this I am amused….God is good.

And this is the end of this trend of events in Jesus name. I rebuke and resist you Satan in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Whatever your experience, doesn’t matter the storms or wind that blow your way, or the fire that suddenly appears to unsettle your peace, remember 2 Corinthians 2:14 and Isaiah 43:2, Isaiah 54:17, and all the promises of victory we have in Christ Jesus…

“But thanks be to God, who ALWAYS leads us in victory through Christ. God uses us to spread His knowledge everywhere like a sweet-smelling perfume“. ERV. 2 Corinthians 2:14

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall flame scorch you“. Isaiah 43:2 NKJV

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment YOU shall condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the SERVANTS of The Lord.…” Isaiah 54:17 NKJV.

There will be evil weapons formed against God’s Servants, evil enchantments will take place, there will be waters, rivers, fire and flame but VICTORY is our HERITAGE.
