I was raised in the church and had accepted Jesus as my lord and savior as a child. I was filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues when I was 19 years old. God has always been very real to me, so I had no excuse why I chose to make such bad decisions. But God is gracious and merciful. More than anyone can fathom.
My story begins in 2016. I was 23 years old and had a job working at a nightclub. I wasn’t living how I knew I should have been. I wasn’t living my life for Jesus. I started sleeping with my coworker. I knew it was wrong, but I was letting my flesh take control and just being disobedient.
A while after we had been sleeping together, I noticed something strange happening to my vagina. It was a terrible pain, and I knew something wasn’t right. I told the man I was sleeping with what I was experiencing, and he just shrugged it off and said it might have been a UTI. But I knew that wasn’t the case. I knew it was something far worse than a UTI. Actually, I remember the night I contracted the disease because I felt the Holy Spirit tugging at my heart trying to get me to stop what I was doing. but I didn’t listen.
We went to the doctor together and by this time I knew what I was experiencing were symptoms of my first herpes outbreak. It was the worst thing I have ever experienced in my life. The doctor examined me and told me that it looked like herpes indeed. They tested my urine that day which came back positive for Chlamydia.
Right at that moment, I felt fear start growing inside of me. I immediately started praying in the spirit and rejecting the idea that I would have to live with this disease for the rest of my life. I had my blood drawn so I could be tested for herpes. All while my blood was being drawn I was praying in other tongues under my breath. The Holy Spirit was giving me flashes of images of my blood being cleansed and visions of my body being healed. The doctor gave me a prescription for an antibiotic for the Chlamydia and I went and had it filled.
I told the man I was seeing what the doctor said, and he acted like he was surprised, but I could tell he was faking. He knew he had it the whole time and didn’t tell me. I was so upset, I burst into tears. I couldn’t believe what was happening to me. I went home after filling the prescription. I was about to take the medicine when I looked at the bottle and thought:
“My God is a Healer; I don’t need this medicine! Jesus is my medicine!”
I pulled out my bible, got down on my knees, and started reading all the verses where Jesus healed people. I read about the lepers who were healed, and the woman with the issue of blood. I read about the blind men and the men who were possessed by a legion of demons. I also read Isaiah 53:5 and repeated it to myself out loud. I prayed harder than I have ever prayed.
I did this every day for about a week while I waited for my test results to come back. The symptoms started clearing up and one day I felt the healing deposit in my spirit and I knew that I was healed! I praised the Lord and thanked him for his mercy.
I went to church that Sunday and we just so happened to have a guest speaker who is on fire for the Lord and walks in Christ’s authority. The power was falling in the service and many people were being healed of various ailments. I stood up and walked to the altar and asked the man of God to pray for me.
He said yes, and touched my head and I felt a HEAT go straight down my back! It was like electricity! Or like hot oil! I knew that my body was healed before I went into the service that day, but it was at that moment that I felt the manifestation of God’s healing power. It was amazing!
The next day a letter came in the mail from the doctor. It was my test results! I opened it up and sure enough, I was NEGATIVE. If you are going through something similar, I want you to know that with God, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. Don’t listen to what anyone says if it does not line up with what the bible says concerning your healing. The devil will try to make you doubt and try to make you afraid, but you have to disregard those thoughts and reject those imaginations of going through your life diseased.
You have to fight to not let depression get the best of you and stand on the word! The word is healing medicine! Take it every day! I wanted to post my testimony here because this site helped encourage me during that time.
I hope this reaches someone, God Bless. Jesus Loves you!
Thank you for sharing your FAITH! Praise JESUS for your healing! Glory to GOD! Please pray for me.
Yes, PRAISE THE LORD. HE IS SO GOOD. I am praying for your healing! Jesus Loves you and will never leave you or forksake you! He is a healer! His name is Jehovah rapha! He will always keep his promises and provide! Thank you Jesus for healing your people.
One thing I like about going through those moments that seem to crush our spirits is that they lead us back to God. I thank God for healing you and for taking you closer to Him. Lets keep sharing of His love and goodness.
God Bless
Yes, my relationship with God is much stronger now! Praise the lord
God bless you! I’ve been dealing with it since 2015. I went to the doctor 2 days ago and they confirmed that I still have hsv1 and 2 and can feel it taking over my body as we speak. I prayed immediately. I’m praying God keep blessing you, if you could find it in your heart to pray for me and my partner healing as well as your church home, I’ll greatly appreciate it. God bless!
yes i will gladly pray for you. continue to read the word as it concerns your health. God loves you and is not punishing you. He wants to heal you, just build your faith and let him do it for you! 🙂
Amazing testimony and encouragement. I would like to request for prayers for my situation since I have nobody to talk to. Two weeks ago I was contracted with HSV2. I have a Christian upbringing but have ended up far from God like a typical lukewarm Christian would: A good character, knows the teachings, but living life in sin.
So recently I got out of a toxic relationship with a girl I have been dating for nearly two years and had a really hard time moving on. Feeling hurt and lonely I ended up meeting with a young girl and we ended up having sex shortly after, on my very birthday. 4 days later I got the first symptoms: several bumps around the genital area that very soon turned into red open wounds, along with very painful urination. I immediately began searching the web and was in total disbelief and denial about the few possible choices, so I decided to watch the progression for a few more days before making any hasty conclusions.
These days of waiting were tough. I have been through a spectrum of emotions and feelings such as doubt, regret, disappointment (in myself and in others), sorrow, acceptance, denial, hatred, fear.. You name it. For a few days I was blaming my ex for abandoning me. I was blaming my friends who never took my concerns seriously. I was blaming the girl whom I got the disease from. I was blaming myself for being an idiot for not doing the ‘right thing’. “How can God let a good guy like me end up like this, when there are millions of worse people that have it better? Heck, it was just one mistake out of desperation and now I am at risk of facing lifelong consequences. Now I can never be happy and have a wife and my own children.”
Since there was no clear sign of Herpes (clustered bumps) for 7 days (only the scars, some bumps, and the painful urination was gone), I took the girl with me and went to see a doctor. The doctor did a thorough inspection on the bumps and concluded it to be clearly Herpes and prescribed me Acyclovir and some compress to treat the scars. On the same evening, the very Herpes clusters appeared. I was like “Okay, so that’s really it.”
Then I started looking into alternative methods to “detoxing” the virus out of my body. Colloidal silver, various oils.. Nothing certain.. But then it occurred to me to do a web search: “Does God heal Herpes?” and found this website with amazing testimonies and encouragement and it really fired up my spirit.
After going through all those emotions during the past two weeks I have begun accepting my fate and started to feel a little easier. I did not want to blame those who hurt me. I did not want to hold the grudge. I am not blaming God for punishing me for my mistakes, after all I was the one to chose to do it. I also know that God can heal me from this regardless of what I have done against Him. I also feel that this is an opportunity for me to get closer to Him. To start praying again and to spend time alone with Him. So I started rebuking the enemy and pleading God to heal me from this virus in Jesus’ name. This virus has no place in my body and I will not allow it to remain there indefinitely. What the doctors say is incurable, God can cure!
These are the first steps I am taking to get close to God again.. And I know that there is a lot of work to be done. I am also afraid if I get healed and backslide again. “Would it be better if I have this forever?” Yet, I desire to be healed and I know that I need to forgive. But also, I don’t know how to forgive with a sincere heart. I feel like I am not sincere in anything I do. I want to forgive and love and care about everyone in my life, but there are always thoughts that come in my mind when I think of forgiving: “What’s the point, you are not being sincere anyway? You are such a hypocrite.” And after that the blaming thoughts would try to come back, just confirming that I am not being sincere in forgiveness after all. But I also know that these are the strategies the enemy is using against me since I have been giving him the foothold for so long to cause havoc in my life.
Yet, I have dreams. I dream of being clean and a good husband for my future wife. I dream of having children very soon as I am already nearing my 30’s. I dream of testifying in the front of the doctor who witnessed the symptoms to witness again – this time being negative for Herpes! I would be excited to share with him that it was my Doctor that completely healed me. 🙂
Thank you for all the prayers. I look forward to come back testifying and sharing encouragement to others, no matter how long it will take. Praise to God!
Praise The LORD! And we look forward to hearing your updated testimony hopefully you don’t forget about us- when you receive those negative test results since we already know that by His stripes you are healed! Your probably out celebrating and worshiping and thanking God for healing you and His mercy! What a mighty God we serve. I’m so thankful that we know Him and have Him as our Savior!
Thank you for this fire testimony! God is alive and real! He is blessing everyone on this post! May he grant us the grace to see your healing into full manifestation!
