Warning: This is not medical advice, only my personal testimony of how I ditched the drugs. Please seek wisdom, knowledge, and professional counseling before making any changes to your personal routines.

I was on so much medication that I felt like the living dead. Too often, I thought my family and I would be better off if I were dead! But then, I cried out to Jesus, received God’s healing provision, and I gladly ditched the drugs!

Death and Sickness

I was diagnosed with two “chronic, progressive, incurable” diseases. One was type two diabetes and the other was ulcerative colitis/Chrons. The second is an autoimmune disease which I could find even less material about reversing or curing than type two diabetes.

Type two diabetes was causing every system in my body to rot from the inside out, and the medications were really only making my test results appear better as they were actually speeding up the rotting process. Ouch; that sounds horrible, and it was!

Chrons/colitis caused horrible joint pain, anemia, and completely zapped me of energy leaving me debilitated for weeks at a time, and landed me in the hospital on Mother’s Day weekend 2019.

I was also on heavy steroid dosages for six months on and off during that same year. I had to go into the doctor’s office every six weeks to receive intravenous medication.

In September 2019, I was on two diabetes medications, a handful of colitis medications including steroids and IV meds, and iron and vitamin C for the anemia. I won’t mention all the tests I had to take so we could watch these drugs progressively destroy my skin, bones, liver, etc.

The steroids were prescribed to treat the Chrons symptoms, but they caused my blood sugar to skyrocket causing the blood vessels in the back of my eyes to burst.

No More Religion

Religion had convinced me that God uses suffering to teach me. I took such great comfort in that through these sicknesses. I even got angry when Wesley told me that God was not making me sick!

I just couldn’t figure out what God was trying to teach me. It reminded me of Job; come to think of it, it still does! Religion was keeping me in a state of confusion. I looked holy enough, but I didn’t really know and believe God!

Jesus!

Finally, in great desperation, I cried out to Jesus! I had studied and was still studying his word and knew I was missing out. I knew him and his word enough to know that I didn’t know something crucial! I asked God to show me what was missing.

I found a booklet on the Lord’s Prayer that I had tucked away in my study materials. I had read the booklet before, but this time, I wrote out every scripture. I meditated on the scriptures. I followed the steps the author recommended including writing down what I was asking God for. I wrote a prayer of repentance from being a lazy glutton.

Remember, I had zero energy accompanied by excruciating joint pain, and I was on heavy steroids causing massive junk food cravings. Junk food causes swelling and inflammation too. Talk about a vicious cycle!

My wonderful husband came in with the author and title of a book, The Diabetes Code by Dr. Jason Fung, that his speech therapist recommended. Wesley had also suffered and was still suffering from serious health issues at that time that landed him in the hospital for a week followed by weeks of various therapy sessions. He also ditched the drugs!

It’s Not Your Fault

I didn’t realize at that very moment that Dr. Fung’s book brought the answer to my “lazy glutton” prayer. I reluctantly ordered the book on “Audible.”

I immediately recognized it though when Dr. Fung said something to the effect of “being a lazy glutton doesn’t make you fat, but being fat makes you a lazy glutton.” And I cried profusely when he said, “It’s not your fault.” And again so compassionately, “It’s not your fault.”

Reminding me to fast was the real answer to my prayer, but I had to have something tangible for God to speak to me through. The Bible tells us to seek, knock, and ask and then promises an answer. Fasting is a spiritual discipline. Fasting is a Christian discipline! It is unfortunate that a secular doctor had to explain to me how feasting and fasting go together.

Ditched the Drugs

That was the beginning of my miraculous healing journey! I am now walking in divine health that is available to everyone who can believe. Believing can be instantaneous or a wonderful journey. For me, it has been both. I immediately started fasting, ditched the drugs, and regained my life and energy. By January 1, 2020, I had completely stopped all prescription medications with my doctors’ supervision!

If you quit taking your medication and pretend you don’t have any symptoms to prove to yourself or anyone else that you are healed or that you have faith, it could kill you! That is not what this post is about. You are responsible for your actions and the consequences that will follow.

Where Are You?

God will meet you where you are! He met me where I was. Seek the Healer and the healing will come.

Under the supervision of my doctors, I immediately stopped some medications and tapered others.

I still have some symptoms that try to visit from time to time, and I still have to fight the enemy for my divine health. But now I know how to do that, and I am victorious!

Victory in Jesus! It is obvious to me because of the weakness of the symptoms and when or how they show up exactly where they are coming from-spiritual warfare. Sometimes I just laugh at the devil’s pitiful efforts.

No Weapons!

The enemy’s weapons can no longer prosper because I recognize them! When I thought that God was using suffering to teach me a lesson, I didn’t resist. The enemy prospers against us through his deception, our ignorance, and our unbelief. How can we submit to God and resist the devil if we think the enemy’s weapons are a blessing from God?

God’s Healing Provision

We only have to tolerate what we are willing to put up with! Jesus took back the power and authority that God had originally given us in the garden. The enemy only has power and authority in our lives if we yield to his lies and deceit. Let’s take ourselves off of his menu by getting to know God and his word better.

The more you get to know God and his healing provision through the finished work of Jesus, the more YouWillWantTo.

Action Steps:

1. Surround yourself with healing testimonies to build your faith.
2. Meditate on God’s word so you can stand and fight!
