The enemy said, “Don’t post your testimony of being healed… you didn’t deserve the healing in the first place and you definitely don’t deserve to share the story… and besides no one will believe you if you share anyways…” How silly the enemy is trying to stir up fear, or shame, or disbelief. the TRUTH says he comes to steal, kill, and destroy, and the TRUTH also says proclaim the gospel, share what the Lord has done! and thats why I am here writing this post because I am a child of God and HIS STORY is worthy worthy worthy. HIS STORY is WORTHY of being shared!
Wednesday evening I went to the dentist to get a crown put on my very back molar tooth. I had had a temporary crown on for 3 weeks previously since they grinned down my actual tooth to be able to fit a crown on it! They asked me upon arrival at the dentist if I wanted a numbing shot, and after they explained that it should hurt too much it may just be a bit sensitive, I decided I didn’t want to be numbed as I was going to a grill out worship night in Omaha right after leaving the dentist.
They began working on my tooth, pulling off my temporary, polishing the stub of a tooth that way left, and getting read to put the permanent crown on. They had to dry it off before cementing the Permanent crown on and the dentist blew cold air at my stub and it sent the worst and most shooting pain I have every felt all the way through my head. I felt like I couldn’t breathe for a solid minute after and my eyes automatically began running, and my mouth and head were throbbing, I thought I might pass out. They cemented the crown on and told me I was good to go.
As I left the dentist my head and mouth were still throbbing. I went to the gas station to fill up my truck and I prayed while I was there that the Lord would heal my nerve and the pain I was feeling. The dentist had told me that people don’t usually experience as much pain as I had when getting a crown and that I might need a root canal. I prayed healing over that as well as I definitely do not want to have to go in and get a root canal. nothing happened when I was at the gas station so I took some Advil and I kept praying in faith that I knew God was going to heal my tooth and take the pain away. As I was driving towards the worship night in Omaha I felt the Lord speaking to me and telling me not to go… I didn’t understand because “Papa, it’s a worship night!” but He was clearly telling me to go home. So I turned the truck around and headed for home, and within seconds of making the turn towards home less than five minutes after taking the Advil (Therefore the Advil cannot receive the credit) the throbbing pain and headache went completely away. I felt great… in seconds no pain and no sensitivity in my crown. And from that moment on Wednesday ever since there has been ZERO PAIN. I looked up to heaven and I shout praises of joy the whole way home and as soon as I got there I proclaimed to good news and praised the Lord to my family.
The Lord revealed to me how important it is to trust not in the seen but in the unseen, even when it doesn’t make sense. God is so so so good and so worthy of all of our praise. We are meant to live constantly in his presence abiding in him! HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH!
I pray that you would know the power of the Holy Spirit that is given through the redemption of the blood of Christ. I pray that you might love the Lord your God with all your heart because HE IS GOOD, even in the suffering. I pray that you might grow in personal relationship with him, learn to hear the Holy Spirit speak, and spend time Listening to him through His Word. There is so much to be experienced in life with the Lord Jesus. Following the Lord is the most exciting thing I have ever done. Life with Jesus is not boring and I pray you would walk in the fruit of the gospel which are the gifts of the Holy Spirit and that through that you would experience life more abundantly. LOVE GOD, LOVE OTHERS. Those are his commands. The gospel is simple.
Blessings and love,
Tes!
