Healing Rain.

Let's start at the very beginning, I hear it is a very good place to start.

For five years, I have been in constant knee pain. It gets a little bit better, then a little bit worse and I have been playing this volleyball game with pain for far too long. We have prayed, we have pleaded, we have asked for and we have declared healing, and still the pain hangs on. It is sharp. At times it is blinding, some days I cannot walk, other days, I feel okay. It's troublesome, it is tiring and it is annoying.

Before I moved here, my mom said, "I believe that God is going to heal you while you are in Honduras." I never really agreed or disagreed with her, I just know that God has a way of working here that I haven't see in the states.

Well, I laid down in my bed last night, and right as I was falling asleep, I felt something in my spirit, I knew that Sunday was the day I was going to be healed. I could just feel it.

I woke up on Sunday and I didn't want to go to church to be honest with you. It isn't because I don't like church, I just thought that I needed a day to spend alone with my Savior, reading and worshiping. But I still felt like something was going to happen. And because I miss singing worship songs in English collectively, I just prayed that one of the worship songs at church would be one that I knew in English.

So I went to church, and we sang Revelation Song, and somehow I knew that we would. And the message was incredible, I took a lot of notes and I got really into it. And during the message, the song Healing Rain kept popping into my head, and I kept reflecting on the words. I knew that it was close, I knew that the healing rain was coming.

Here at the church, they often pray for people at the end. People go forward and the leaders lay hands on them and pray for whatever they need prayer for. Samira leaned over to me and she said, "You need to go up. They are going to pray for healing," So I went up. The pastor was speaking in Spanish, but he looked at me and said "Today you will be healed." And I started crying and as he was laying his hand on my head, I felt all of the sharp, chronic pain that I have felt for years disappear and it was gone. And I was sobbing and I was praising the Lord and thanking Him over and over, it was all I could say, "Thank you Lord." And then I started laughing while still sobbing. I was so full of joy, I was so thankful that the Lord had released me from pain and from suffering. And as I was sobbing, and laughing and thanking God, I felt someone lay their hands on my hips and then my knees and then my ankles and then my feet. And I started sobbing harder and I knew I was healed and I was overjoyed. And then a friend came and laid her hands on my knees and she began to pray over me and she prayed not only for physical healing, but spiritual healing too. And I was just sobbing and thanking Jesus. WOW! I walked back, pain free, it was incredible.

And here I am tonight, I showed you all the video, I have been overwhelmed by the wonderful comments and just the joy that people have. This has been such a long process for me. And I gave up hope a lot. But God never fails, and He is faithful and He can heal.

I am sitting in bed, reflecting on the day. My chronic pain is gone. I have only a little bit of soreness and some achy arthritis, but it is nothing compared to the pain I have felt for years, And even with the soreness, I know that I am 100% completely healed. And I praise God for that.

This is only my first month here... and honestly I can't wait to see where else I go.
