Jesse Fields (1 March 2014)
"Healthy and Happy"
First Time writing to the Doves, but a long time reader. My name is
Jesse Fields and i'm 24 years old. Right after I graduated high school I
developed a seizure disability that was not able to be controlled by
medicine. I had many bad emotional reactions to the many different
medicines I took during a 5 year time frame. During that time I cried
out to Jesus constantly for healing and restoration to my body. I was
eventually approved for disability and surgery. I had the surgery and
for about a year I didn't have seizures of any kind and thought I was
healed. I believed God had healed me through that surgery, but shortly
after my year long recovery I started to have seizures again(not to the
same extent). I was having only epileptic seizures at night, but having
multiple petit-mal seizures during the day, which was a ongoing theme
for about a year. A second surgery was always option for me even before
my first surgery if the surgery didn't stop the seizures. So that was
always in the back of my head until recently when I met with my
neurologist on the 19th of February. Which he said after reading the EEG
I had a month prior revealed to him that now my seizures are
generalized(which means there is no specific location they start from)
which he told me that surgery is not an option. He offered me medicine
to try and control them which I rejected because I didn't want it to be
controlled, I wanted them gone. I was brought to the end of myself that
day and realized that if I ever want to be delivered from these seizures
that I need to take every drop of trust I have and put it all on Jesus,
not some trust on doctors and some trust in Jesus, but all my trust in
him. So I did and started to thank Jesus from my seizures and surgery
and for my healing. Thanking Jesus prior to receiving is showing true
trust in him. I realized that I have grown to love and adore Jesus more
since I started having seizures(I know Jesus didn't give or make these
happen, I was born with a physical defect in my brain). I believe Jesus
used these seizures to bring me closer to him and reveal many things to
me during that time. Well glory to his name, because I have not had any
seizures of any kind since that day when I truly put all my trust in
him. For me to say I have been seizure free for even one day would be a
miracle after not going more than one day without having some kind of
seizure for the 5 years prior. Jesus is my Lord, my refuge, my
protector, my tower of strength and Lover of my Soul. He has healed me
from these seizures because of his grace, and Jesus kept me even in my
worse times in perfect peace and perfect joy. When I came to understand
that Jesus Loves me unconditionally it gave me surreal peace and
comfort. Wait for the blessing because it will come, just put all your
trust in Jesus and ask for it.
