Struck down by a Whirlwind

Just a few weeks ago I testified at the prayer meeting of how the Lord healed my back and the people were praising God for my healing…

Later that evening I fell backwards and struck my spine on the corner of the fireplace. The pain was excruciating, I cried and prayed as I lay there. I thought how can this happen especially after testifying earlier of my healing. A few minutes later I got up slowly still in a lot of pain, so much so, I felt nauseated.

I laid on the bed and prayed for healing. It was such a hard fall, I could have damaged my spine but I kept praying and rebuking the enemy who was trying to bring me down.

The next morning my back was bruised but there was no pain just a little sore. Then the day after I was able to move around and do my everyday normal activities. I was healed once again and I give God all the praise!!

Two days later I was betrayed by someone close to me. I was devastated and my heart was shattered. I couldn’t believe it.

Through it all I kept my trust in God! Little did I know He was going to work it all out for my good.

Another thing happened, I was feeling restless where I was living, so I started looking for another place to live! As I took that step of faith within 24 hours, the Lord opened a door for me to live in a beautiful place. It was a miracle how it all came together and by the end of the week I was all moved in. I was in awe at how the Lord provided for me so quickly and I actually felt overwhelmed at first, in a good way 😊

When I look back it seems like I was lifted up suddenly, not struck down, by a whirlwind, for God was with me and even though there was heartbreak and pain, He healed me. The following week when I attended the prayer meeting, I had an even greater testimony to share of God’s grace and love and miraculous healing. 😊 And through it all, my faith and trust in Him has grown stronger, which is a blessing!

Sometimes we may wonder what is going on when everything is going wrong, and even when it seems unfair, do not lose heart for there is something greater just around the bend. God is a good God, and He won’t let you down, simply trust Him!

These scriptures come to my mind through this recent experience…

Tears last for a night but joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5

God works all things together for our good. Romans 8:28

We are struck down but never destroyed 2 Corinthians 4:8,9

How precious is Your lovingkindness O God I place my trust under the shadow of Your wings. Psalm 36:7
