God's Awesome Miracle Healing
I endured a trial for the last four years, it was a private struggle that I couldn't share with many, that is until now. After having a cesarean for the birth of our youngest son, the attending physician stated to my husband that my body needed a rest from childbearing. After the postpartum stage they released me to go back to my normal activities but I felt as though my body hadn't healed properly.
We wanted more children. Therefore, my husband and I decided that we were not going to use birth control but allow God's will to be done as far as the timing for our next child. After two years and no pregnancy, I decided to go to a physician who specialized in infertility. They performed many tests and procedures with no success. Finally, the physician did a fluoroscopic tubal cannulation where they insert dye into my fallopian tubes. During the procedure the physician found that both my fallopian tubes were blocked and they continued to try to open at least one. I went home with a positive outlook, thinking that at least one tube was opened and I'd be able to conceive. Still, to much disappointment nothing happened.
Although for those two years I'd been praying and asking God for help, the reality of not being pregnant was hard to contend. God had given me scriptures to read about other women in the Bible who were barren.
And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. Genesis 21:1 & 2 (NKJV)
Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Pandan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.
Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived. Genesis 25:20 & 21 (NKJV).
Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I die!" And Jacob's anger was aroused against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?" Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her an opened her womb. And she conceived and bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my reproach." Genesis 30:1-2, 22-23 (NKJV)
It was God who lead me to get my reproductive organs examined with the reminder that He is the Healer. I didn't share my condition with many people. Because I knew that some folk might have thought I was selfish to want another child when God had already blessed me with three. The feeling of not being whole with emptiness was constantly with me. Crying was what I found as a comfort. Seeing or hearing news of others expecting a child wasn't always easy for me to welcome. Sometimes I felt as though God was blessing others and had forgotten me. Yet while praying, God would remind me to look back in my journal and embrace His promise to me.
By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age because she judge Him faithful who had promised. Hebrews 11:11 (NKJV)
For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. II Corinthians 1:20 (NKJV)
This helped me to cleave to encouragement no matter how my natural eye viewed the outcome. My husband began to pray with me and proclaim healing in my female organs. The altar is a place I'd constantly find myself, asking God to heal my body from being barren.
One morning when I was crying out to God, I heard Him clearly say go back to your original OB/GYN. physician. Usually to get an appointment for a physical the wait is four months, I called and received a date for the same week. Therefore, I knew that it was God. My physician did laparocopy (an exploratory procedure) on me and discovered that my infertility had been attributed to bilateral proximal tubal occlusion (there was massive scar tissue on the inside my fallopian tubes). He made an appointment for me to go to one of the best fertility physicians in our state.
Quinn and I went to consult and were told of our options, if the procedure to open my tubes didn't work then the only alternative was vitro fertilization, which we objected to. I finally went to have another fluoroscopic tubal cannulation done and in the middle of the procedure the physician stopped and stated this is a mess I can't help you. While in recovery I was crying and Quinn consoled me and actually spoke a word into my life. He said, "Baby, when the doctors' can't fix the problem, it's just God letting us know that it's time to put all of our trust in Him to heal you. Thank God for your testimony."
After hearing that, every month when I discovered that I wasn't pregnant I'd thank God for healing my body. My husband would continue to pray for healing in my fallopian tubes, we'd thank God in advance for what he was going to do. There were days when I'd feel depressed because I saw no change but I'd go back to the scriptures to see how Jesus healed those whose faith was strong. There are many scriptures but I'll share just a few.
