INFIRMITY WARS: A DANCE WITH PAIN (PART 5)

Restoration of Blood Pressure

I think the low blood pressure was linked to the low calcium level I had. I would always feel dizzy and fatigued; my hands and feet were always very cold but, gradually, all of that changed. I felt a bit of the symptoms in 2022 and was advised by one of our brothers, who is a doctor, to go and check my blood pressure again. I went to have it checked and it was still normal.

I left the pharmacy smiling hard that day because I had been afraid that I was going to be sick again.

Healing from Skin Irritations

My mum told me that, when I was younger, I used to have a lot of boils on my fingers and toes. She said that these boils had water in them and would hurt whenever they were opened. Those things came back when I became a teenager, along with some extra skin irritations; soaps, creams, water and even body mists gave me (either) one skin issue or the other.

I had eczema, rash, boils and things that looked like ringworm but were not; I used different creams to heal each of these at different times and even took antibiotics for some of them, but they persisted — especially during certain seasons.

One Friday meeting, Pastor prayed for our skins. He asked for restoration and healing from every kind of reaction; to be honest, I thought it was a weird prayer — Pastor was mentioning some skin irritations that I had. Before that day, I did not believe that prayers were needed for these kinds of issues — I thought I just needed to find the perfect cream for my skin, and stay away from certain detergents and soaps.

Pastor mentioned that those of us who did not believe will see it and we will believe it. When he said that, I immediately repented and said, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.”

I got healed after that meeting. I saw those skin rashes no more. I could bathe without antiseptics and I never reacted when I touched soaps or creams or detergents. In fact, I was not financially buoyant to afford my body cream at a time and had to settle for something lesser. I used it and nothing happened to my skin.

Till date, my skin is like the average human’s — maybe better.
