Power of Words

[Guest]

I am very angry. A recent experience has left me shaken and angry. I lay my

While waiting I went into total decline and ceased my normal life. The effect of my GPs words were devastating

I felt waiting a year was too stressful. My pain was very much better, i assumed the drugs were very effective. I prayed deeply for a full cure. 

What happened was amazing.He said stop the powerful painkillers and get on with life. 

I am overjoyed! No more pain. But i am very angry. The GP should never have spoken those words. He was not qualified to tell me those cysts were the problem, that i faced lifelong pain. Only a specialist could properly diagnose my spine. 

The GP spoke words of death over me. So i began dying. For 3 months i declined in mind, body and spirit. Digging deep into my faith in Christ kept me going. Then the specialist spoke words of life over me and now i live again. I feel i have my life back and i am so happy! Free. No more awful drugs. What if i had waited a year for diagnosis?  were killing me. My GP made the assumption and i trusted him. I won't in future. It is taking weeks to wean off the strong tablets i took for nothing. Tablets that made me feel sleepy, out of control, forgetful, depressed and thus frightened. 

That is the power of words! Be careful what you say and your basis for saying it. Also be careful who you listen to and trust. Check their authority. 

One final point. I prayed deeply and sincerely for God to bring me through. He did!

Agreed. We only have ourselves to blame when we listen to words of death. I am happy that you had enough hope to not settle for the labels of men.

I summarise very briefly. I had back pain which got worse. My doctor sent me for an MRI. The results showed a number of cysts on my spine.  The GP told me i faced lifelong pain as there was no cure. He precribed strong painkillers which affected me profoundly mentally  and referred me to a spine specialist for whom there was a very long waiting list. 

While waiting I went into total decline and ceased my normal life. The effect of my GPs words were devastating. I stopped driving, could not leave the house and felt my life was over. I imagined i faced serious back surgery. I was in despair day and night. 

Fortunately i decided to go private for the specialists' diagnosis. I felt waiting a year was too stressful. My pain was very much better, i assumed the drugs were very effective. I prayed deeply for a full cure. 

I went to my consultant appointment. What happened was amazing. His verdict was the cysts were harmless. I had had a badly pulled muscle which took many weeks to heal. He said stop the powerful painkillers and get on with life. Those cysts are benign and unlikely ever to cause a problem.

Words (Ideas) are like viruses. They spread from mind to mind, subtly infecting the host as they go.

Amen!

And who is the final authority?  God! What is impossible for us, is possible for Him

2 Cor 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ

Doctors are not perfect. I and others in my family have had false diagnosis. If that happens you can end up in worse condition than when you started. Give it to God. Ask Him to guide and direct you in what path He wants you to take. Then listen to Him.

Had a Doctor about 2 years ago was cutting...something out saying one in a thousand (something awful..) then said to me "you might be the one in a thousand" haha. No I don't receive that in Jesus name. Thats how I respond. See what we don't understand is "if two shall agree" <--that was said before Christ died. So DON'T agree on something that He word speaks against.

He Isa 53:5.. 1st Peter 2:24 by His strips you might be could be should be.. if God has time or if He feels like it...NO By His strips you WERE healed. Not what I say or any man. That cross was lifted up.. LOOK AT IT! You were healed.  We just tend to put GOD on some time table. I don't care what man says or TIME.. He said.. its done. I don't run with what I SEE or HEAR or FEEL. I read His word.. I believe His word.. I remind Him of what He said.. Those words will never go back to Him void. PRAISE  you Father and glory to Jesus..

No.. I don't receive that in Jesus name.. not what His words says.

That's really wonderful to hear your story, Melinda!   Praise God for delivering you from a poor diagnosis!   Yes, it would have been awful to wait a year and be on those addictive pain killers.    God really gave you wisdom in this situation.   And, yes, words really do matter.
