The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set a liberty them that are bruised,

'By Union of Feeling We Obtain Power with God'
Sister Sharon Eubank
As we seek union of feeling, we will call down the power of God to make our efforts whole.
James decided to work today in spite of his leg. It swells when he is on it too long, but he survived.
I talked with Kim today about her health issues. This is what she told me: I had a couple of interesting things happen this week. The first hing was Saturday night. I think I mentioned this during our discussion on Sunday. I was having one of my worst days so far as far as the dizziness was concerned. Feeling very defeated and feeling very much like I can't do this anymore. I am too weak. It is too hard. It has taken too much of a toll on my body. I was slowly trying to make my way back from the bathroom to the couch, and I had a very fast, very fleeting thought, "this is the beginning of the end."
It went out of my head as quickly as it went in because I was just feeling so physically awful. But I thought "great! Either that means it's going to kill me and I will be put out of my misery, or healing will start soon." I also thought that the "beginning of the end" made it sound like it was going to be a process and not an instantaneous thing. I later found out that while Brian was out running an errand he had a thought that I would be ok and get better.
Then, Sunday morning Brian went in to get a calling. He was originally scheduled to go in with the first counselor, but he was unavailable, so he ended up going in with Bishop Tarwater instead.
While he was in there he told Bishop about what was going on with me. And Bishop, very hesitantly, started to ask how open he was to alternative medicine/healing. I guess he knows that some people are dismissive of anything non-traditional.
Brian said that after years of regular doctors not helping and things only getting worse, we are VERY open to it. He then told him about a man who is not a doctor, but works with frequency/electrical impulses in the brain and then re-trains the brain to heal what is wrong in the body. He says that the human body is meant to heal itself and when things start going wrong or breaking down, that means that the brain has for some reason stopped telling that part of the body how to function correctly. (I'm probably describing this terribly).
Anyway, he told how this man helped his wife overcome her Sjogren's Syndrome ( an auto-immune disease where you don't make saliva and your eyes get really dry.
We made an appointment with him for Tuesday night.
So, I went last night and got scanned. He does an initial scan and it gives you a number between 1 and 10. My number was 2.55. He said that any number lower than 3 means chronic illness. We have a lot of work to do.
I told him that I've had health issues for 25 years that have progressively gotten worse. I have a myriad of things going on. He said we would eventually get to everything, but let's start with the most debilitating thing - the vertigo, anxiety, squeezing of neck and shoulders, feeling like I'm going to pass out sinuses, etc. He scanned those areas, including the vagus nerve (Which I discovered in a podcast Monday night is most likely the culprit). Then he sends an electric signal to the brain telling those areas that aren't working correctly to start working. (I know it sounds hokey, but I am desperate and nothing else has worked and he has helped SO many people). He then gave me enzymes, antibiotics and collodial silver to take every day. I will come back weekly for scans to check my progress. I think he said it takes a week for every month you've been sick. I can't remember.
It's not an overnight thing, although some people have seen improvement overnight. He said the last person who came in with vertigo it was about three weeks before he was feeling completely normal again. I hope it works. I'm excited. I'm optimistic. I haven't been any of those things in awhile. Also, after we tackle the vertigo he says we can work on the thyroid, insulin resistance, food allergies, etc. I hope that this is the answer I've been looking for. That this is the beginning of the end. I guess time will tell.
I told Kim I was excited for her and that I had been praying she would find something to help her. I told her that the Lord knows how to fix her and this just might be the way He is going to do it. She said:
I sure hope so. I have prayed and fasted and done research and gone to doctors, naturopaths, chiropractors, acupuncturists, neurologists, literally everything I can think of. I feel like I've put in the effort. Maybe now after all I can do and have done, He will help me with the rest. I hope so.
I worked on my book business today but my heart just isn't in it anymore since I know I am not really making any money. I paid for the book arbitrage software for this month so I am going to buy about 60 books and that will be it. This software costs $200 a month I I can't afford it. I don't want to be as big a business as you have to be to make money at this. I am repricing books so they will hopefully sell and I can gradually close down.
Sheri said since today was Prime Day on Amazon she bought me air pods for my phone. How nice. She really didn't have to do that.
I have been praying for rain but we haven't even had any clouds for weeks. From now on I am going to pray for clouds, and then rain.
