I did not go to the Doctor as I told my husband I would, and that could be bad, and I am sorry for that. I don't want to create a problem. I know I have had wellness spoken over my family and myself, and I am trying to claim that instead of looking to the world's methods of dealing with things. My husband confronted me on the phone, and I could hear he was upset. He wants me to be well. I do not want to be unwell due to any disobedience. I just wanted to continue to do dishes, work on painting the things used for Sunday School, and I know these may be seen as just excuses, but I don't enjoy going out in the cold when my coat doesn't fit properly, and it is really slippery due to ice. The Doctor IS close enough for me to walk, but I don't know if is is JUST a physical illness or there is more involved as I am trying to USE my voice to speak and sing for the Lord more. My husband is responding that maybe he should give up on going to the Doctor with different issues, and I told him I would rather claim the healing that Jesus can bring instead, and that answer didn't seem to sit well....
 
Is this dying to husband's approval??
i think he just cares and wants to make sure all is well with you

i feel the same way as you do - i'd rather pray and ask God what to do - God first - and then if God leads me to go to the doctor i do

my wife gets very worried that i do that - but that's how i was before i met her - i chose Dr God and got really good results that way - my wife chooses dr man plus prayer

so that means i have to pray more to find out for sure what to do - and God has the answers - He doesn't want me to worry my wife - but He also wants me to trust Dr God - so i am in a similar situation as you a lot

when i first met my wife i would ask for prayer for stuff and she would go on and on and on about medical options

but the good news is that the more miracles she sees - especially when i pray for her when she is sick - causes her to be more open to God first and medical options only if God leads

praying for you to have God's wisdom and supernatural intervention on how to please God and bless your dear husband -

don't worry - keep peace and God will help you and your husband - the unity of marriage is unparalleled in prayer power - God does want to use each of you to help the other and grow in the areas where one of you is weak and the other is strong - it is quite the juggling act at first but with God's grace you will grow together in God and God will flow through you both more and more - keeping peace is NOT denying God unless God specifically tells you to do something

i have had times where my wife insisted on something and God let me please her to keep peace - there were other times she insisted and God told me no - do as He says

so relax and wait for God's clear instructions on your heart and mind about what to do - and keep sharing what you can with your husband so that he learns to understand what God is leading you to do

praying for you both
 
LOL Yes, God does create every atom that is present, I fully agree, sometimes, lol, it's a LITTLE hard to want to take a cough syrup for your bark when it TASTES like bark!!! :biggrin
 
I'm not much for going to the doctor unless I feel like I really need to and then my husband almost has to drag me there. The last time I went it cost me almost 2000 dollars to find out I had viral bronchitis last month that only had to run its course. I knew I didn't need to go and now I have a bill that's going to take forever to payoff.

My husband was brought up that you went to the doctor for every little thing and I am the opposite as I have to feel like I'm dying before I go to one. I like home remedies the best and honey would be good for your throat and also garggaling with salt water. If itdoesn't improve you might want to go seea throat specialist. Praying for you medievalglo

we have a friend who is a naturpath - her remedies are good foods and vitamins/supplements

of all the dr visits i have had my friend's remedies are the most effective and cost a fraction of the medical costs

often the drs say take this drug for the rest of your life - and our friend says eat these foods and in time this situation will reverse - and she is right
 
Thankfully I live in Canada, so they charge OHIP.... the Ontario Health Insurance Plan... for Doctor visits for most things. We also have some coverage through Joe's work to offset medicines... Dr. gave me 6 medicines, cause apparently he heard enough with my descriptions and hearing my breathing.... $48 and change if I remember right.

Why do you try to claim unbiblical superstitions for your health rather than the God given medicines he has made available for your and all our health.
All the bible tells us to do when sick is to ask for prayers.
 
An update for those interested. The regimen of meds the Dr put me on, I finished, but have not had success as of yet clearing up my lungs. As I breathe out it is still very raspy. They sent me home with a cough syrup, stronger nasal spray, and something to deal with virus and bacteria just in case to keep me from developing Walking Pneumonia.
 
Sounds like you have Bronchitis. It does take a long time to get over this sickness, but God has your back girl and you keep on claiming your healing as we stand in a prayer of agreement with you as God gets all the glory for answered prayer :pray
 
What people do not understand is that we live in a fleshly body that will get sick and break down at times as I well know. Some sicknesses may even cause us to lose our life, but even then we have eternal life with the Father where there is no more sickness. It's all in our witness and testifying of Christ even with our dying breath that can bring an unbeliever to Christ.

I remember when I had my first knee replacement. When I was coming out of anesthesia I was witnessing Christ to the nurses and not even realizing I was doing that. I like to call that a God given opportunity.

God also works through the hands of doctors as those things seen by others that seem impossible, God says by prayer and supplication all things are possible.

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

I would say do both, take care of the physical health, but use spiritual health and authority to bring healing. Do not do one without the other. Not taking the doctor, is not taking the rope that someone throws to you when you are in a well. Its like praying for a rope to appear, it just wont work.
