Freedom from Seasonal Allergies



I used to live by this website: www.pollen.com.  Every morning I would wake up and check it with a huge sigh because every day was in the red like the picture above. Allergy season could be seemingly endless and it usually started in April for me and lasted well through the summer.

Allergies...  Ugh.  It made my life miserable :(  


I had just begun to understand how much Jesus loved me and how he wanted me to live a victorious healthy life here on this earth.  With this new info under my belt I began to pursue Him and everything He had for me which lead to freedom from seasonal allergies!

I had a vision very shortly after my allergy symptoms vanished. It went something like this:

I was stumbling around in my dream, and coughing up loads of tiny creatures. Perhaps like bugs, but not anything I had ever seen. They were coming out of my ears, nose, and mouth and covering the ground around me. They were different colors, nasty looking, some with red pincers and black eyes. I couldn't get them off of me, I was freaking out. In the dream I ran to my mom and dad and as I was struggling to cough up more of the awful things, they looked at me as if nothing was wrong. There I was nearly falling over, crying, screaming, crunching these things under my feet as they came out, and they looked at me as if I were standing there perfectly normal! They told me that I had to find the strength to go on, and that I couldn't let this control me. At the time in my dream I felt a little dejected because it seemed that no one understood. Could they not see the stains on the carpet from these things?!

And then the scene switched and I was in a bed with a sheet over me recovering. I remember feeling bumps all over me from the creatures. But then I started yelling, in my head, (because for some reason I could not speak), I am HEALED! JESUS HEALED ME!! And as I yelled it, I heard what sounded like thunder, and a lightening bolt came from the ceiling and shocked me. I felt an intense heat cover my body and a voice saying, "You are healed". I lifted up the sheet and began to touch my skin which was previously covered with welts, and it was smooth. Like nothing had ever happened.

A few days later this dream was still bothering me, because I had no idea what it was about. I had asked God, and wasn't understanding the purpose. I told my family about it and my dad immediately said, "Allergies". And I heard in my head, "Yes". I didn't even have to ponder if he was correct, I knew it instantly. It gave the dream a whole new depth. No one in my family suffers from seasonal allergies except me. My mom and dad don't have a clue what allergies feel like which paralleled my dream perfectly.

I admit on rare occasion the symptoms try to mess with me a bit. I'll begin to feel a slight twinge and I usually just choose to remember how awesome Jesus is.  I am no longer limited by my symptoms. I mow the lawn, I plant flowers, I go to greenhouses, I visit botanical gardens etc.

I want it to be known this was not an instant healing. I spent many hours studying scriptures on my own and listening to sermons about how much God loved me by Andrew Wommack. This miracle was truly a journey that was all grounded in me getting closer to Jesus.

The process looked like this for me. I would step outside every day fully expecting to be fine. However, I was not fine every single time. I struggled every time. Fought every time. Breath in, I am healed, breath out, I am healed was my continuous thought. I wanted to live in the Spirit, not in the natural. When my symptoms disappeared I must admit it was a bit embarrassing because I didn't notice right away. Why? Because I had been expecting every time I stepped outside that I would be just fine. So when I stepped out and was fine, I didn't even notice anything was different! It wasn't until a few days later that I started to figure out that something had changed... "hey... wait a minute... I feel like I'm taking allergy pills! But I'm not..." My face didn't hurt! Along my cheekbones was always sore like someone had punched me because of allergies. I had the continuous horrible itching in my nose and face. My eyes watered all the time. I sneezed about 574 times a day. But this time when I stepped outside all of that was gone! I looked like a complete fool feeling my face in public, with a gigantic smile.

III John 1:2 - Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
