For four days in a row I had been fighting a stomach virus/flu in my stomach so bad that words cannot express. Every time I ate something, since one Friday morning -- it's now Tuesday afternoon as I write this -- my stomach would cramp up so bad. I would have to involuntarily or voluntarily force myself to throw up to make my stomach stop hurting and/or to have the pain subside. Then the cycle would begin again -- eat a meal, have stomach pain, throw up, pain subsides and/or goes away until the next meal. I've been putting an electric blanket on my stomach, and that seemed to help some. Sometimes I would take Motrin with little effect, since it just got thrown up.

Nonetheless, on the fourth night, I was trying to throw up. It would not move. I was having dry heaves and bad stomach pain. Throwing up was the only way to make the pain in my stomach stop, or at least lessen. Being at my wits end, I started crying. I prayed, right then and there, slumped over the toilet bowel, that the Lord would help me cleanse my system. I vomited a lot after I prayed. 

I went into the bedroom to lay down. I knelt down beside the bed first and said my prayers. I prayed that the Lord would heal my stomach and make it stop hurting. When I got into bed, my stomach still hurt, and my back was achy. I couldn't just lay still in bed being that uncomfortable. 

Then I went into the kitchen and got some water. I was prepared to stay up all night drinking water and throwing up, if I had to, to get rid of this thing once and for all. I took the water into the living room and bundled myself up on the couch.

About 45 minutes later, I felt this sweeping feeling start moving across my back. It started on the right side of my back, moved literally through my spinal cord, and exited the left side of my body. The sweeping across my back actually felt like parasitic bugs running through my system. I felt them exit through the skin, my pores, on the left side of my back. The stomach pain lifted instantly. In fact, I felt as if I could sing from the highest mountain! I went to bed on the fourth night at about 10:00 p.m. and said "Thank you" to God all night, in my sleep, for the miraculous and instantaneous healing.

My stomach doesn't hurt anymore today, and I'm not throwing up. This morning, I was able to keep the first meal down without pain and/or throwing up in four days. I did feel drained on the day after the 4th night and was dizzy and lightheaded in the shower. I guess that's from all that I've been through, but all I can say is: Amen and thank you Jesus!!!

The Power of Prayer is awesome. I will never forget the feeling of how a herd of bug germs literally ran like that from my system and exited through my skin. I just had to share this story with you to encourage you if and/or when attacks on your health try to invade your body.  There is power in prayer in the name of Jesus if we just persevere and stand on God's Word when we pray, and stand against the enemy when sickness tries to take a hold in our bodies. 

I love you, Lord. Thank you for healing me!!!

With God's Love, Valerie Gilbert

Remember: All that we do in this life comes back to our God-given purpose which is to serve and glorify God. The money and assets we accumulate, the fame and power we've attained or seek to attain - all of the things of this nature will one day pass away, but those lives of others we impact for Jesus Christ will last for eternity, and we will be rewarded for the part we helped play by impacting those lives ... for eternity. (Matthew 6:19-21 is our assurance)
