After over a year of constant recurrent infections and doctor's visits poking around in places that should be kept private, and test after test and treatment after treatment using any possible drugs in the form of creams, tablets, gels and anything else you could think of I had given up on getting rid of the damn infections. Doctors also seemed to have given up just saying that there are no other explanations for the infections and that there's nothing else that they could do. So being at my witts end with all this I was venting teh frustratons and telling Kingsley (my husband) that I'd just had enough so he commented that if we were in Nigeria a pastor would pray for me and I'd be healed in no time at all. My mind instantly told me that God is everywhere and that I didn't need to be IN Nigeria to get healed so I asked him to call a pastor that he knew to pray for me.

So he did that and the pastor gave me a few scriptures to read and to keep saying and praying over throughout the day plus some affirmations of faith to keep repeating that I am healed in Jesus' name and that satan will not stop my healing in Jesus' name. I did this using annointing oil 3 times a day (which is blessed oil). I did this and the pastor prayed for me and he told me not to give up but to have faith as daniel wiated many days before his prayers were answered. I believed and continued my prayers. After a couple fo days I was watching a christian movie (facing the giants) that quoted a scripture from the book of revelations, so out of curiosity I opened my bible to continue reading where the scripture was taken from and as I was reading I came across a scripture that said that the devil will put you in prison and test you for 10 days and that whoever makes it to the end even to the point of death, will be given the crown of life.

I decided to take ti literally by faith and I brought out my diary and counted 10 days from the start of my prayers and I marked in my diary "today is the day that I am healed in Jesus name". I also told God in my prayers that once this happens I would give testimony in church the next day, which happened to be Easter Sunday. I continued my prayers and at first the infection eased up in the first few days and was better than it had been in months. But then on the 9th day it started to get much worse again and on the 10th day it was really bad and painful. I kept telling myself that it was all a test and that nothing will take my healing away from me. It was my right as a child of God.

On the day of healing I woke up in the morning excited that this was my day but scared that I might find that I would find things to be exactly the same as the previous few days, BUT sure enough the infection had cleared completely from one day to the next. No medication or anything whatsoever just faith. I hadn't been clear from infection for months at this point and the feeling was completely overwhelming.

When I went to church that Sunday it took a lot of courage to stand up and give testimony about what God had done for me but I did it and with testimony you overcome the bible says, and that day I overcame thanks to the one and only living God. My God. The infection remained cleared and at times I would wake up and feel as though the symptoms were coming on again, and my first reaction was "damn! the thing's coming back" but then I would realize that it's all a test and would say a little prayer and the symptoms would just go away instantly.

Now THAT is my God!
