"My stomach always hurts and nothing will fix it—I just have to live with it."
How it sounds in your head: My stomach cramps all the time, especially when I'm nervous or at school. The doctor says it's stress or maybe IBS. Am I going to feel sick forever? Will I always be the girl who can't eat certain things or has to leave class?
"Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases."
-- Psalm 103:3Medical labels that become identity, plus anxiety manifesting physically while adults treat symptoms instead of speaking to the root.
The pain is real and frequent, and she's been given a diagnosis that sounds permanent ('syndrome,' 'condition'). Adult authority figures have accepted it as chronic, so she believes there's no way out.
He was sick with fever and dysentery—violent stomach pain, unable to eat, losing strength. Paul prayed, laid hands on him, and he was HEALED—instantly able to eat and function, no gradual improvement, COMPLETE healing in one moment.
I REFUSE the lie that chronic stomach pain is my reality! IT IS WRITTEN that God heals ALL my diseases—not manages them, HEALS them! Every diagnosis is subject to the name of Jesus, and IBS has NO AUTHORITY over me! My stomach was created to digest food with ease, to nourish my body, not to be a source of constant fear! IT IS WRITTEN that I am Abraham's seed, and the BARAK blessing covers every organ—blessed stomach, blessed digestion, blessed peace in my body! I eat with confidence because my body belongs to the HEALER, and He doesn't do 'chronic conditions'!
Your Father isn't standing with a list of 'trigger foods' saying 'avoid and cope'—He's standing with COMPLETE healing, the same power that created your digestive system in the first place. He made you to enjoy food, not fear it.
