I believed!
I have known disease for as long as I can remember. My mom, my grandparents and my aunts all remember and tell me that I had asthma since I was a baby. I have suffered from asthma for as long as I can remember. I don't remember myself without it.
I remember my parents taking me to the hospital month after month, more times than I can count!
I remember the days I was in the hospital, the medical tests, the medicines, the injections, the intravenous fluids going through my veins, the breathing treatments and me lying in bed. For me it was a way of life because that's all I can remember.
I also remember my mom carrying me when I was 5 or 6 years old to the doctor's office. I was too big to be carried and I know now how hard it was for my mom, but I couldn't walk because I also had excema behind my knees and it was very painful.
They told me that asthma was emotional, and then that it was due to allergies, that it was food, dust, pollen, and they came up with all these explanations that at my young age I couldn't understand. In my memories there were many times that I had to be alone in the room due to asthma while all my brothers and sisters played outside with my cousins.
The isolation of being sick made me an introverted and shy girl. I missed participating in many things because I was sick.
My asthma lasted until I was 31 years old. Yeah! It had an expiration date!
I was a new Christian, a born again believer, and had started attending the Orlando Christian Center where Benny Hinn was the pastor. In that church you could literally feel heaven itself. God's presence was so strong and so tangible that it was difficult for many to stand without falling under the influence of the Holy Spirit. Because the pastor was a well-known healing minister, my church was always completely packed, and people even stood in the foyer. I was so happy to know that Jesus is alive and is still healing his people! I was wondering when it would be my turn.
But every Sunday passed and there was no healing for me.
I prayed and prayed that God would take away my asthma but to no avail. As you can imagine, it was very difficult to be in a Church in the Ministry of Healing, watching God heal so many people and still feeling sick. Many times I felt abandoned.
It so happened that one Sunday morning I woke up with another asthma attack. I couldn't breathe and my husband was desperate because even with my inhalers I couldn't breathe. He wanted to take me to the emergency room again, but this time I was tired of being sick since now I knew the power of God to heal. I told my husband to take me to church. That I would ask someone to pray for me. My husband looked at me in disbelief, but he took me anyway.
I was sitting on the bench, listening to the music, the choir and feeling the presence of God, and little by little I started feeling better. When the service ended, I immediately went to the front to be prayed for and met a very sweet woman, who worked as a prayer partner. She took both of my hands in hers and asked me what I wanted God to do for me. I told her with tears in my eyes that I was having an asthma attack and that I wanted God to heal me. She looked into my eyes and smiled. She told me, “do you know that you are already healed?” I was stunned!
"Really? Am I?", I answered amazed. She explained to me that Jesus already healed me 2000 years ago on the cross. That by His wounds I had already been healed! She only blessed me, and I left very confused while I was gasping for breath, I felt my chest was tight...was I missing something? Why didn't she pray for me? I felt discouraged, sad, and confused. I still had her words, "you are healed" in my mind. I didn't feel healed at all. But if she told me I was healed, then I was!
I had to call in sick all week to work because I was still sick. But I didn't give it too much importance. I just accepted that I was healed, period.
The next Sunday I was back in church and was immersed in worship. I had my hands raised when suddenly I felt the finger of God touching my chest. How do I know it was the finger of God? I can't explain it very well but I felt his finger coming out of His Presence touching me. At that moment I knew, that I knew, that I knew that God had healed me of asthma. It was something supernatural! The healing was occurring in my lungs.
I can happily tell you that from that moment on I never had an asthma attack again. Never! I am now 63 years old and since I was 31 I have never had another asthma attack.
Last year I got sick from Covid-19 and my lungs were affected. For three full months I had trouble breathing, but I knew it wasn't asthma, it was this demon virus that was wreaking havoc on me. Once I was cured, the breathing problems disappeared.
It was Jesus who healed me of asthma, not on that second Sunday, but 2,000 years ago on the cross. It manifested itself when I raised my hands in worship and totally forgot about myself and my asthma. We serve a good God! In His sovereignty, He provided healing for His sons and daughters.
The gift of miracles is more for emergencies and for unbelievers. I am the daughter of the Most High and I was healed by my faith, because I chose to believe.
Are you a son or daughter of God? Have you been born again of His Spirit? So believe me when I tell you that you were healed on the Cross. Jesus carried your pain and sickness on His broken body. He totally freed you from all your sins by the blood He shed that day on the cross. Raise your hands in worship and surrender to Him. Don't think about yourself or your needs, just think about Jesus. Let the Spirit take you soaring! Oh how I love him!
Believe me, I don't know how or when your healing will manifest. But you have to believe with your heart that by His stripes you were already healed. When? Believe now that you were healed on the cross 2,000 years ago.
Know this truth! Don't fight the idea or try to reason with it, just accept it! Receive it!
Oh what a glorious day it will be!
✍️Scriptures to write in your heart:
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
Isaiah 53:5-6 NKJV
“who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.”

Do you want to pray with this prayer with me? Repeat out loud.
My God, I ask your forgiveness for all my sins. I am truly sorry. I receive you Jesus as my only savior and Lord. You are the only way to our Father God. You are the only One who has words of eternal life. I give you my life and my heart. Baptize me with your Holy Spirit and fire, and fill me with your power. Make me a witness and give me that unknown language so that my mouth can communicate with my Father His perfect will.
Glory to God!
