Today I am re-dedicating my life to Christ, I am not going to veer off course, there is nothing more worthy, more lasting, or more rewarding than learning about my God. I am not going to base my faith on how I feel, or think that God has forsaken me because He won’t step in and remove this cup of poison from me. Indeed, if I can, I will think of this suffering as His love for me, for without it, I would surely be confident in myself and run away and forget about Him altogether.

  1. I think it is the perfect love of God that has allowed me to navigate through this affliction, I am so thankful to have my relationship with Christ, In whom I trust, He said he would never leave us or forsake us. May God Bless you and all of us on this journey.

    I have been healed of Morgellons and the only way was his way. I spent my life savings on everything else that never would have worked. I was days from giving up when he reached down and took the nightmare away. I took authority of my life though his word and I am free of this mess. My heart has gone out Mr. C and the attacks he has had. I feel like my prayer was answered today because I have prayed God would show him the door to have total freedom. I thank God for he does answer prayer even if you don’t know the person you are praying for. Don’t give up Mr. C you are on the way to freedom!!!!!

      Truth, thank you so much for your prayers, and I know so many other warriors have prayed for me. I am digging in and I am not yielding another ounce of territory, this is the hill I am going to die on, the hill of God’s word. I am going to re-emerse myself in His word starting tonight when I get home.

      Again, thank you so much for all who have prayed for me, and for all those dealing with this terror.

    Awe.
    Yes That poem desiderata..I think it is about not walking alone..being carried by God..I keep forgetting and remembering..that was a very good reminder.
    This is one nasty critter..people on the compassionate site are now talking about “later” symptoms. My hear goes out to all of us..and everyone really..because this is and will impact everyone. I guess we were let know first..for I don’t know what reason.
    i heard that people who manage to clear up the symptoms and stay clear..just want to forget about it and not talk about it..so there are actually many more people who have this that appears..like the ice-berg.
    Thanks or your love and incredible openness..so glad I discovered your site early on..it was truly a godsend ..my being a computer newbie..I felt your generous heart.

    This is only an iceberg if you let it be. people are amazed when they see me and my photo’s from just a couple of months ago.

    In Feb I was preparing my will and looked like death warmed over. I had prayed and prayed then it was brought to my attention that I needed to repent of my sin’s. Saying forgive me for all my sin’s did not cut it. I learned that I had done things i didn’t even know were considered sin’s. The more I repented and broke the bondage off the more healing I was getting.

    If you feel so heavy and bogged down I suggest you start thinking of what you need to repent. He takes our sin’s away but you need to bring them to the cross with full remorse. I drove a friend for an abortion and as soon as I brought that to the cross I started feeling lighter. Occult practices were many that I had to repent of. False religion again more repenting. I have learned if it is not in the bible don’t listen.

    I am 100 percent free and have clear mind like I can’t put into word. God promised us a sound mind so claim it in the name. Start standing on the promises and start living again!!!! If he did it for me he will do it for you but you need to not look for the free lunch put some effort out on your part and he will reach down. Stop begging for healing and know you can have it. The bible says repent any place I look so don’t take my word for it read it yourself.

    I pray that you all will have the healing that I have just by simply Praising and following a few simple rules. I praise him before I even get it. Put the full armor of God on and take your life back!

    The Truth will Set you Free as I am living proof

  5. “The Lord is my shepherd.” That means He is ALWAYS WITH US and knows exactly what we are going through. Keep the faith.

  6. Whatever helps you from going crazy i guess. Kinda silly though. I mean, with science and all people still believe in something that is not concrete…just stories in an old book that was written when people knew nothing about the world. No offense.

  7. Hi Mr. CS,

    Like you, the apostle Paul asked God to remove his “thorn in the flesh” repeatedly but he did not. Eventually Paul came to embrace his suffering and even found joy in it because he knew that God was using him to bring His message of love and hope to the non-Jewish world. Like Paul, and indeed like Christ, your suffering has caused you to rise above your circumstances and literally pour yourself out for the benefit of others.

    You will never know the number of lives you have touched through your humble service and quiet determination. In you the world can see His love, and by the word of your testimony, His power and His grace are displayed.

    Thank you again for all that you are doing.

    In His Love,

    John

    I couldn’t agree with you more! I believe you are correct in that all the suffering we have experienced has brought has back to God. As you said, without the pain and suffering we wouldn’t have reached out to God and would have been running around doing our thing. Although I thought I was doing everything right…..it was ALL wrong…..I went from doctor to doctor to doctor……placing all of my hope and faith into new prescriptions for healing….thinking falsely that each and every doctor would cure me and release me from the terrible nightmare of Morgellons. It wasn’t farther from the truth….as I was so removed from God and even proclaimed “I am not religious, I am spiritual.” I lived my daily life without asking God for help and healing….turning to everyone and everything else but God. I needed a real “wake up” call….which was pretty much rock bottom….close to feeling dead or like dying….before I realized that God was my answer…God would heal me if I learned his word…..lived with his word in my heart….and repented for many sins (most of which I didn’t even realize they were sins and that demos or devils or Satan could get hold of me through them). I had to and still have to do my Spiritual Warfare on myself, family, dogs , house and car……I have come a long way in the last week….being honest with myself …finally…and then others……I needed to start living instead dying….and getting back to who I really am and what God created for me to be. I hope I am able to help others see that even though they may be good people (like I am a good hearted person), but had to repent for a few too many sins which had let the demons get a hold of me and mylife. I have lived in hell here on earth for the last 5 yeats…..and my chains and shackles have finally come undone. I can only praise the Lord and be grateful every day for the forgiveness and sound mind that he has given to me. If I could get here….then everyone else can as well. I only hope my words and this site reaches out to people that need us before it is too late for them. God Bless Everyone…….

    Faith, prayer, and connecting to our higher power are essential to healing. As a follower of Christ, I try to keep to the path of light.

    Balance, faith, prayer, meditation–these are all helpful in healing.

    I read the entire Bible when I was suffering the most; it comforted me greatly. I especially like the old stories I remember from religious education from so long ago.

    I still have the page for Luke 12:59 folded over. This was the passage I first opened to when I prayed for guidance.

    We are all on a spiritual path. Faith can help guide you over the hurdle of Morgellons.

    Peace, Joe
