My father died twenty years ago and shortly afterward I developed spots all over my body especially my extremities making the spots unsightly, red, itchy, and with a flaky scale appearance. My doctor attributed this skin breakout to stress and prescribed antidepressants, which did not help.
I sought a second opinion from a dermatologist who performed a biopsy. The biopsy revealed Psoriasis, I cried as the doctor explained to me a grim prognosis of this incurable disease. The doctors’ words as I felt at the moment were so discouraging, although he prescribed a medication that might give some temporary relief. The medicine was also used to suppress some forms of cancer. In my desperation for help with this skin disorder I took the medicine in my hopelessness, I was depressed, and afraid of going out in public. Even in the summer, I wore long sleeves and sweaters fearing that people would be disgusted with me and my Psoriasis. The prescribed medication helped a little; however, I had to stop taking it due to elevated liver enzymes and I decided I’d rather not deal with the liver damage.
Approximately three years ago, while our pastor held an altar call for healing a miraculous thing happened in my life. He called to either go up to the altar or stay in place and lay your hands over areas in your body that need healing. I literally crossed my legs and arms as if I was hugging myself, as the pastors’ powerful healing prayer was declared in the Holy name of JESUS! Three weeks after this powerful prayer of healing was declared over our bodies, while shopping for a long sleeve garment with my daughter asked why I needed to wear long sleeves if you can’t see the Psoriasis. WOW, at that moment I didn’t realize that it was gone or that I was healed. We embraced and wept and were overcome with joy, as we prayed thanks and praises to the Lord knowing that a miracle had occurred after that prayer of healing prayed by our pastor.
The twenty years of suffering are over, my confidence is back and I no longer live in fear nor afraid if every now and then I see a spot on my body. I apply ointment and I pray over my body, knowing that whatever I’ve endured these past twenty years have been a blessing and a growth in my spiritual walk with Christ. I know the LORD is in charge of everything and NOTHING is impossible for HIM. I rely on Him and praise and honor our Lord and Savior with continued prayer and supplication daily.
