I suggest metmom to not accept allegories as her fate nor with innate power over her. If it has power over Jesus and she whom He loves and created then it is “real” or “permanent.” The first truth is...seeking the truth about who she is...Whom she was created by. He did not make junk subject of b.s. created by the dark side through man.
The way I see it is that the truth set me free from allegories. I hope it sets Metmom free too but somehow it seems I needed Jesus to command or assert it for me while in prayer. It goes into the cells of my body when that happens. Everything hums.
I had breat cancer that was healed through the usual methods but I know Jesus carried me through it all because I can not even remember it. I have to ask my husband what happened. I have no excuse to be alive; it was very bad. I remember the beginning of doctor doom, but not anything after a night of being with Jesus. When I prayed to Him about it, it is like He took over. I was perfectly happy to give the wheel over to Him. At the same time I had no fear...I would have been fine to join Him if that was His destination for me. But not my kids and my husband...He loves them even more than I love them. That is A LOT!
That is all I know about healing, Quix. I have not been sick much in my life. I don’t understand it beyond understanding the power of Jesus over all creation - “and it was good.” That includes me, you and metmom. He is all powerful.
THANKS TONS AND TONS.
EXAMPLES ARE BETTER THAN ARGUMENTS.
Even though God seems to deal with each of us a bit differently.
