Living Resurrection

My healing is foolishness, something fit for the most naive and gullible child. What worldly wisdom is therein? This healing is for my community (whomever they may yet be) and myself, to the Glory of the Living God.

I used to have these pains in the glands in my neck (throat area) in the first cold of every fall or winter. I suppose these are lymph glands as I never bothered to get them checked out since the pain always went after a few days. I expected the pain every year, and I was never let down. I believe it was in 2008, the pain became so bad one evening that it woke me up in my sleep. I was 2 years in my walk with God at that point, and God had shown me such great kindness so far. So I took up my complaint to God and asked if God could remove the pain for good. I was as certain as the rising sun that my pain would be gone. I went back to sleep, woke up the next day with significantly less pain - and no more after that for the rest of the year.

But then the following winter, the pain came back. So then I could only assume that God didn't heal me, because I knew that when God brings about an end to something, it is DONE. So then all those things that Brent had mentioned and realized about the transformation of the flesh (the Living Resurrection) began to become clear to me (making plain what was blurry). At that very moment, I knew it was the end of my pain - and I haven't had any pains in my lymph glands in over a decade.

Even before then, I was diagnosed with dermatitis (seborrheic) on my scalp, which causes a thick flaky buildup and spreads like a rash when scratched. I was prescribed this steroid cream, which only seemed to help a little - but the cream was difficult to use through my locs. After that first bottle, I was done - it didn't cure the issue (as there is no cure for this type of dermatitis that I'm aware of), but it did alleviate some of the itching. I found similar relief in some moisturizers. Well having a head of hair, the dermatitis just wasn't something I really thought about - especially with all that was going on in my life. A little itch here, a little scratch there. Well, all of those itches and scratches took a bad turn when I could visibly see the affected darkened skin extend beyond the hairline. This, plus the unending flaking, is the reason why I wear a scarf/bandana all the time.

In January, I made a request to God, to make the salvation of God visible in my flesh by making it youthful; but around the same time, I also made another request, that God would get rid of this skin condition. A few nights ago, I was speak to heaven about the glory of God, and then I mentioned, "I am God's glory." (When I say "I", I'm speaking in reference to everyone who walks with God, as I am only unique in my creativity.) A spacecraft became luminous and slowly - slowly - became brighter and brighter in confirmation; which leads me to think that it became more true over time.

I wasn't sure how to take pictures of youthful skin (I am 40 - and any changes would be through touch until they become dramatic changes), but I knew I could take pics of my scalp.

The first 2 pics are my scalp before I washed it. They were taken last year some time (faith and foresight - as I took the pics before I asked God for help). You can see the darkened area extending beyond the hairline. This is the dermatitis when left untouched and unmoisturized.

The next 2 pics were taken after I washed my hair. I have to use my nails and scrub off the dead thick skin, which leaves behind that reddish wound that eventually flakes back over if I don't continually wash and moisturize (the more I wash, the less I have to scrub).

The next 2 pics were taken in early July. You can see the the light and dark spots on my forehead. It's when I first really began to notice it being healed.

The final 2 pics were taken the beginning of this month (August). The dermatitis is no longer on my forehead, and has since retreated back a little bit further. Though it is present in my beard and eyebrows (which you may be able to see).

Everything on time.
