Freedom From the Bed


Psalm 124


1 If it had not bee the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

Lord, men have risen up against me...Yes! But worse then that, SICKNESS has risen up against me - fatigue, FM symptoms, and a host of other symptoms have plagued me. And if it had not been for YOU, Lord...if it had not bee for YOU and Your "answers" for me -
3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

Amen! I am convinced that I would be SWALLOWED by now - "BEDRIDDEN" - if it were not for Your ANSWERS, Lord, Yes, my enemies, the devil and his angels, would have "swallowed" me up in "death-like" FATIGUE! I've been there many times, saying "I feel like a mack truck just ran over me! I've slept all night, but I still feel like I could sleep another hundred years!"
4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the steam had gone over our soul:

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

Yes, and there have been times when the "death-like" fatigue was so incapacitating (like that day I ate cheese) that I felt like I was DYING.

Yes, Lord...the Waters of affliction' have just about overwhelmed me. But..You gave me a promise -

"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee.." Is. 43:2a

6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Blessed by Thee, my Lord! Amen and amen! The devil meant to hold me fast to the bed...to keep me from being able ot care for my children at all! But...blessed by Thee, my Lord!

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
The snare is BROKEN by diet and East Park olive leaf extract an dearlier bedtime! No sugars, no moldy foods, no bread, no dairy, no nuts, no high carbohydrates....1/9 capsule of olive leaf extract that caused fatigue and "die-off" for a few days each time I increased the dose, but..oh joy, joy...thank-You, Lord! I've slowly increased the dose by 1/9 each time every week or so, and I' almost up to 2 capsules 3 times a day. My "brain fog" is basically GONE, and I have more energy and need less sleep! Hallelujah! Some days I actually DO feel like an escaped bird, flying free! I've even been sewing for my little girls again this week!

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Yes, our HELP is in the name of the Lord. Jehovah-Rapha, You are my healer! I'm not totally well, but I am so much better! Thank-You, Lord! Amen!
