The God Of Miracles

Praise The Lord Everyone,
I was recently inspired by one of my GodTube friends to write my first GodTube blog, after having read her blog, I wanted to share just one of several healing miracles that God has wrought in my life. I personally know Him as a AWESOME healer and deliverer of ALL manner of disease, if you just put your faith and trust in the supernatural power of the mighty God. I am talking about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, by the way. Way back some years ago, (I won't say how many), but trust me, it's been a long time, I was diagnosed with Glaucoma, (an incurable eye disease), for which I was being treated with eye drops and tranquilizers. This is a horrible eye disease, as some of you might know, but if you are unfamiliar with Glaucoma allow me to share with you my experience.
I first became concerned about my one eye when it started to constantly run, was very red, (as if I had pink eye), when my eyeball was very hard to the touch and swollen, every time I moved my eyes the one eye would hurt really bad and felt like I had grain in my eye, finally the vision in this eye became very blurred all I could see was a white spot, I really got scared then, so my husband took me to an Optometrists, (regular eye doctor), to see what was going on with my eyes. I was told by the doctor that this disease only affects one eye at a time, however, can and did, in my case, move from eye to eye at any given time. The first blessing was that after the optometrists examined my eyes, (as you can see, I do ware glasses), he recommended me to a eye specialist, Ophthalmologist), because he saw some black spots in the back of my eye and wanted me to be further examined and tested. The blessing was, had I not been recommended to the eye specialist, by another doctor, I would have had to wait weeks to get an appointment, which could very well have resulted in blindness.
I was told that if a person goes blind in one eye from Glaucoma, it is almost certain they will eventually go blind in the other, so the Lord knew I needed to get seen by a specialist like, RIGHT NOW !!! So, I got in the next day or two. Anyway, the specialist looked into my eyes with very a bright light, (which sent excruciating pain through me, when he looked into the affected eye), then he took some kind of medical measuring tool and measured for pressure in both my eyes, for this test, I had to keep my eyeball perfectly still, that was really hard to do. Finally, the specialist put some type of serum under my skin on my arm and made appointment for me to come back in a few days. At my next appointment, the test on my arm showed positive for a fungus called Hystoplasmosis, this fungi is common in states such as Ohio, because of the Ohio Valley, (Ohio is one of the "Histo." states).
This fungus affects your throat and many times will move to the eyes, as in my case and this was the underlying cause of the Glaucoma , keep it mind that Glaucoma is still an incurable eye disease. I was treated with eye drops and tranquilizers, (which by the way kept my stomach upset so the doctor took me off the pills). After a few months of treatment, my Glaucoma went into remission for about a year or so. However, on a day when my husband, (who was long distance trucker at the time), was out of town, this horrible disease decided to kick up again only in the other eye, then I did a real stupid thing, because of the pain and the other symptoms that go along with Glaucoma, I got some old eye drops and put them into my eye, (OUCH), not thinking that the medicine was old and spoiled, and boy did I pay for that. My eye burned as though I had set a match to it, and it burned all night long, there was nothing I could do by cry in agony.
Thanks be to my GOD, my husband called me that night and said he would be home the next morning, I told him about what I had done, so he rushed home as soon as he could. Here is the second blessing; after he was home which was on a Saturday, he called my eye specialist office, because the office was open a half a day on Sat. the receptionist said that my doctor was out of town at a medical conference, so I ended up having to see another doctor in the office, which was not familiar with my case, however, my file was there. I had to wait until this doctor saw all of his regular patients. Finally he examined me and gave me a prescription for some eye drops, and told me to NEVER put old drops in my eye again. If I went into remission again, to throw away any left over meds. Of course he didn't need to tell me that after what I had suffered the night before. :~D
After a short while the disease went back into remission, this time for a total of about 7 or 8 years. In the meantime my family and I moved to the state of North Carolina to do a ministry for the Lord, we lived there about three or four years and wouldn't you know, the old devil kicked up again, with all the same symptoms, I had no eye specialist in N.C. so we went through the phone book and just called a ophthalmologist, being a new patient, not being referred, the receptionist told my husband I would have to take an appointment several weeks hence. He said my wife can't wait, and told her some of what I was going through even as he spoke. The receptionist/nurse said the only thing she could do is call us if there was a cancellation.
Now, here is the MIRACLE; my husband hung up the phone, he anointed me and prayed for me. I was in terrible pain and crying, thinking Lord I am going to go blind if I have to wait for weeks to be seen by this doctor. I was on my knees by my bed with the phone on the bed, about five or so mins. after my husband hung up from talking to the doctor's office, the nurse called, I answered and she said someone had just called to cancel their appointment and I could come to be seen the very next day. The Lord had answered our prayers, but wait, I not through yet. The North Carolina eye specialist put some drops into my eye, (after having gotten my medical history especially as it related to the eye problem that I had suffered with, and been diagnosed and treated for in Ohio), he sent me into another room to wait for about an hour, relaxing with the eye drops in my eye.
Finally, he called me back into the exam room, and ask me, have you ever had eye surgery, I said, no sir, he proceeded to examine my eye with the same bright light, as the doctor in Ohio did, and said there was no sign of scar tissue, he said to his nurse that I had never had eye surgery. What this North Carolina eye specialist said was the Miracle, he said, well, if you had Glaucoma before, (and he said that this fungi would have come from the Ohio Valley), you don't have it now, 'It looks as though you've gone and got yourself HEALED.' LOL ! I almost fell out of the chair. I came out and on the way home I told my husband what the doctor had said. We both knew that this was truly a Miraculous healing from God himself.
The irony is, that God had my case documented here in Ohio, when I got this INCURRABLE eye disease, and God had it documented when He healed me of it years later in another state approximately 600 hundred miles from the state of Ohio. "What a mighty GOD we serve, angles bow before Him, Heaven and earth adore Him, what a mighty God we serve. " I pray that my testimony inspires somebody to keep on keeping on in the LORD !
God Bless
Carol
