LED INTO THE STORM

Awesome, I'll definitely have to check that out. Thank you!

Make sure to check with your doctor to help you determine the right dose, and to ascertain
you are not taking medications that might interact with St. John's wort. It also acts as an
SSRI, though it could take as many as three to six weeks to feel any effects, and if you take
for a time, slowly wean yourself off it to avoid unpleasant side effects

Thank you, I'll probably talk to our local natural medicine doctor.

Incredible story. Faith is absolutely essential. And its no fun going to the doctor. My heart goes out to you.

My older brother got into car accident 24 years ago. His back never completely healed. I took him to medical center, and they took ex rays of his back, back in 2013.

I was diagnosed with several disabilities in 2014 by neuro psychologist. Very difficult school life and work force. Harrassment and bullying. Stopped working in 2013.
1 Corinthians chapter 1:27
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
What some bullys think are inferior, are beloved to God. They have low self esteem. The testimony of handicapped Christian people carrys more weight than normal Christian people. Yes, we are to edify body of Christ. Wicked are demolition site and tear people down.

I can relate in my own way. I'm struggling in the workforce due to the limited mobility I struggle to keep up with me fellow employees and what they judge as lazy is actually me just in pain. I just try to lean on God and not focus on the criticism.

This season of nerve pain has been rough and has lasted longer than normal but I'm praying for much-needed relief.

I'm not sure if you have ever heard that St. John's Wort is excellent at repairing nerve damage and making new connections to pinched and severed nerves. I am a witness to it's powerful effects. Just thought I'd share that with you. I really rejoice to hear the testimony of the LORD in your trial. He is so wonderful!

Please share what brand you use and would it be available on Amazon?? Thanks!

I'm a bit late to this party, but after having a nice young man distractedly total my old car by rearending it so hard the dash radio jumped out and my back and neck sustained a huge whiplast, I had pain that was awful. After 7 decades of being mostly healthy and pain-free, this was a tough one. The orthopedic docs wanted to call it chronic low back pain. PT helped, but it didn't get things back to my normal, so I pressed for other options. They referred me to a Doctor of Osteopathy. Most of those guys work in general medicine (like a family doctor) so I wasn't quite sure how it would end up. But this guy studied my films, said he disagreed with the orthopedic diagnosis and did some very gentle manipulation, quite different from a chiropractor. When I stood up, I had NO pain in my neck or back for well over an hour - for the first time in almost a year. He also pointed me to some specific exercises to add in to strengthen the weakened muscles that were allowing things to go wonky, which are helping in addition to the ones the PT gave me. When I offloaded firewood last week, I realized how much that treatment had helped. So I encourage you to keep seeking health and life.

I hadn't realized St. John's wort had a role in nerve healing. I did hear that it can make your skin sensitive to sunlight and help in some cases of depression. Herbs were given for lots of good reasons, flavor and healing being among them, and there is a lot of research available to make good choices.

Wow. Glad your feeling better. I have heard from others about using St John's Wort. Weird name but I hear it works. Have not tested it yet. I've been fairly in a good season but only because I don't push it or do anything to aggravate it. Hoping for a career change where I can risk trying more therapy.

Hi, I enjoyed Led Into The Storm. I have a testimony that I would like to share, it’s called; FINDING THE UMBRELLA OF GRACE. In the summer of 1972 when I was a twenty year old man, I went to London to embark on a quest to become a missionary and witness of the Lord Jesus Chris. After being in London a year, I got married to one's of my fellow missionaries and a few months later my wife and I decided to visit her home in the North East of England. We made our way from central London via the underground system to within a walk of the beginning of the M1 Motorway. We hitchhiked and got a ride in a few minutes and within five minutes or so, a storm came with black clouds and heavy rain pouring down relentlessly. Our driver was going to Luton and dropped us underneath the motorway with the rain coming down extremely hard, and my wife said to me, what are we going to do now? I said, you wait here, I’m going to ask Jesus to make a hole in the clouds and to create an umbrella of grace so I can remain dry until a ride picks us up. You stay here until the car stop, an I’ll wave for you to come to the slip road. You are going to have to run from under this shelter to the dry spot, okay? She said, alright I’ll wait here. I walked to the edge of the underpass, saying out loud, Lord Jesus will you please create an umbrella of grace and make a hole in the clouds to create a dry environment for me to stand in while I wait for a car to give us a ride, thank you Lord. I then ran through the teeming rain to the dry spot that had been created with the sun directly behind the hole in the clouds, and looking upwards, with light radiating through the hole and the rain teeming around me for a radius of about forty feet completely unaffected by the storm. And shouting hallelujah many times! After fifteen to twenty minutes a Morrison Minor with two musicians from the London Philharmonic Orchestra stopped right next to me and said get in. I said, can you please wait a minute while I wave to my wife that’s sheltering under the motorway? They said of course. I moved to the edge of the wall of rain and waved for her to come over to the car. She ran over and we got in the car and drove off up the road and after ten minutes or so, the driver said that he was struggling to understand something and it was bothering him a lot. So I asked him what was bothering him so much. And he said that he is a musician and he can’t get the sound of the windshield wipers screeching across the dry windshield just where you were standing and how long were you standing there and furthermore you are dryer than your wife who was under the motorway sheltering from this downpour, that has been and still is relentless. So I told him that might be my fault as I don’t have an umbrella so I asked Jesus to help me out and I asked for an umbrella of grace to create that situation that you have observed. Then we had a conversation about faith in Jesus’s name and the way to salvation by being born again into the spirit of the Lord.

A few months back I was going through a trial that was laying heavy on my faith and I was unsure of the future. I had been dealing with bad nerve and lower back pain for the last 6 years from a vehicle accident. Well, my back had started giving me so much pain I was forced to take an extended leave from work that I was thinking it would only be a few weeks.

But it turned into a month and a half, filled with Dr visits, physical therapy, and a lot of stress. I was having high anxiety while the Drs couldn't pinpoint a problem, waiting on my paychecks to come in, wondering if I needed to begin searching for a desk job etc.

I was struggling real hard trying to trust God and spent a lot of time in prayer, pain, tears, and worries. I felt crippled and the nerve pain was making my right leg really weak and not work right. The lower back would get real sore and tight making movement feel as if it was easily prone to injury.

Finally, my Dr told me he still couldn't pinpoint a problem but the was going to try using a long needle to stick in my spine and deliver a large dose of medication to try and help heal the problem.

Of course not ever having this done I didn't know what to expect and not knowing what to expect makes me really anxious.

And so I fell into the only person I trusted that has true control over my life. Jesus was on my mind day and night during my anxiety waiting on the day. I knew on the day I could choose being put to sleep or drugged up on happy pills. I didn't want to do neither as to like I love to be in control of my mind. And I have this weird fear of being put to sleep as to not knowing if I'll wake back up.






Then the morning arrived and God showed up that morning when I needed him most. But what really helped me was what God told me a few days before my scheduled procedure.

I felt God speak to me through these verses saying me in green and God in red.

[h=1]Mark 4:35-41New International Version (NIV)[/h][h=3]Jesus Calms the Storm[/h][FONT=&quot]35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we (I am about to) drown?”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”[/FONT]


I had felt this storm within my mind and I felt God tell me to be quiet and be still and wait for he was going to calm the storm. And at that moment God asks me the very same questions. Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?

It was a strong confronting rebuking response to my anxiety.

And so the day of my appointment arrived and I knew God was with me and felt his presence. I felt a very calmness within me and was handling it far better than I have in the past. I denied being put to sleep and decided to take the drugs. hey waited for the drugs to kick in but they failed to wait long enough and I threw them up from having no food on the stomach and nerves. So I was then faced to walk into this storm no drugs. Dr told me I could come back another day but I knew that wouldn't make it any easier.

Keep in mind even though I was still anxious, I still felt secure and calm if that makes sense. And so I gave the go ahead and began to pray my way through the storm. I had a good Dr, great nurses and they took good care of me. The nurse talked to me while they numbed my back. I was just so focused on not moving so they wouldn't paralyze me.

I survived but I didn't start to feel healing until a month later even though they told me it would take 7 days.





I feel very blessed for God worked through my mind and the medical staff to bring healing to my back. I still have small issues but my mobility is far better and I have more hope than I had. I was literally at the last thing to try by Drs because they didn't even recommend surgery.

So this is my latest testimony showing how God worked in me as I faced my storm.


Unspoken- Sleep in the Storm

That is an amazing testimony friend, you were so young to experience such major trauma but the insight and wisdom it's encouraged in you, is very rare even in someone of your current age.

I've had a couple of weird, potentially dangerous issues since very young, Doctors have laughed and called me a coffin dodger several times. Probably still here because i'm the *if my number's up...* type and just live my life. Which i could do until recently developing sudden onset, often problematic, arthritis. It is painful and can really limit movement but i'm old now and have been pretty lucky until the last year, that's life.

You're so right that faith in the LORD help us cope with/accept whatever, it's a recent discovery for me which has been a rock already. God's blessings and love from me to you all for now

Well in many ways it was a blessing. It gave me much sympathy for the hurting. It truly brought me to the Lord.

Age gets the best of us but ironically it seems to be for most of our lives the body goes well before the mind. The mind still feels like the 20s, 30s, 40s but the body says not so fast lol.

You're young to have such understanding of what really matters in life friend, instead of chasing after wind. Challenges in life teach us so much, encouraging understanding of and compassion for other people. Pretty sure life would lack bite for me if it was too plain sailing as well, i feel at my most alive when i need to get my thinking cap on.

Also one of those who has used natural remedies for over 40 years, including for my children. My youngest son was vaccinated in hospital without my permission and developed the associated autism syndrome, before that he was well developed physically and a couple of months ahead in milestones. He was just 10 months old and went from a robust, confident lad who was about to take his first steps, to a weak, sickly child who developed asperger's syndrome. Thankfully, he's very intelligent and high functioning, so leads a pretty cosy, independent life he enjoys, which is what matters.

"Age gets the best of us but ironically it seems to be for most of our lives the body goes well before the mind."

I'm cosy with that friend, much prefer it to the other way round. Also think physically aging has it's uses and encourages us to be more thoughtful and imaginative, i genuinely wouldn't be young again for anything. What matters to me is remaining able to learn and develop until i snuff it, especially in knowledge of the LORD. Think knowing what really matters helps us cope better with and retain enthusiasm for life. Hope that makes sense

God has had a major role in that department lol.

I agree!

That is a blessing not that it occurred that way but that he can function on his own. I fear for my oldest and out of the two boys we took into the home, my nephews, the youngest struggles due to trauma. I'm not so sure if they can be on their own.

My oldest son was diagnosed with autism of higher functioning in some areas. He is great at math, reading, and history so far. Also great at WWE knowledge lol.

Oh for sure. The wisdom and knowledge gained with age are priceless. It is why I have always hung around older generations because they were a lot more interesting, knowledgeable, and mature.
