Just before a prayer meeting at church another intercessor walked over to me and said, “The Lord told me to pray for your thyroid to be healed. God doesn’t want this to be a life-long illness”. At the time, I had been diagnosed with a thyroid condition and my doctor told me that the medication would probably have to continue for the rest of my life. The intercessor asked if I was in agreement. I told her, “Absolutely”. I realized that we both had to be in agreement and that I would have to walk in complete faith to receive this healing.
I stopped taking my prescriptions and several months later the blood test showed that my thyroid was normal. I advised my primary physician that I would not be accepting anymore thyroid medication. I continued many years thereafter without any thyroid medication.
Several months later, the Lord spoke to me and said “In the future, your health will depend on what you eat”. Thereafter the Holy Spirit would show me just how corrupt the food industry had become. I thought I was eating correctly but evidently I was not. My diet currently consists of whole foods void of processed additives and synthetic chemicals which are harmful to everyone’s health and immune system. I strive for an organic diet and avoid anything that is genetically modified. For those who consume meat, poultry, eggs and milk – I suggest that you seek out local farmers who honor God’s biblically grounded animal husbandry practices as many factory farmed products are banned by other countries or nations because of the drugs and practices used on these animals during their lifespan.
I still have a very healthy thyroid. I believe that my thyroid continues as normal because I have been obedient to the Lord’s instructions whereby I depend on Him alone as to what foods I should eat. I have striven to walk in faith knowing that He cares for me and desires to see my earthen temple in sound health.
About 5 years following my initial healing, I had taken on a contract assignment which caused me to work exceptionally long hours. This exhaustive schedule did harm to my immune system causing my thyroid condition to unexpectedly reappear. My primary physician prescribed thyroid medication. I filled the prescription but I threw them away. I decided to declare God’s truth over my health and walk in faith. Looking back I question if God even wanted me working at that job which I eventually resigned from. I returned to a lifestyle of choosing sound nutritional foods and making sure I was getting ample hydration and rest for my earthen vessel. With these changes my thyroid condition returned to normal and it has remained normal ever since. I’ve been tested and tested again over the years and my condition remains normal. Praise Jesus!
