Union with אלוהים
Love is as strong as death;
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
Love’s flames are vehement flames of fire,
the very flame of Yah.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
Intimacy with a Holy God
One woman’s journey of walking with a kind God Who burns with ardent flames of love.
My Revelation on the Island of Patmos: Part 5 of 5
Thankful
”Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!” Psalm 107
The debilitating electrical pain from Trigeminal Neuralgia caused me to gradually lose function of my limbs. Any hint of movement would release shocks of pain through the left side of my face, so I lay on my right side as still as possible for days on end. The blinding beams of pain and suffering were all-consuming.
Then God brought beauty from the ashes I was covered in. The pain diminished and an adequate amount of relief enabled me to sit up in bed. With tears filling my eyes, I found no other words except a continual “Thank You God, thank You God, thank You God.”
As I write this today, my eyes become misty at the sheer memory of that day.
Supernaturally, my soul was transformed in a mere moment. Instead of being dominated by despair and grief…

I Can Do All Things
In 2012, while on the island of Patmos, the pain of trigeminal neuralgia became debilitating. Many days were spent lying still on my right side trying to decrease all painful stimulants to the left side of my face.
Surges of pain increased, and I continued to combat facial muscle spasms, burning and sensations of electricity. Being wearied by the years of endurance, I was slipping in and out of hope that the pain would end.
Being mentally and physically exhausted, I drew a dangerous conclusion: “I can’t do this anymore.” It seemingly felt easier to not work the muscle of hope nor to believe that God would deliver me.
Oh how deceiving! It was actually harder to live under the dark cloud of hopelessness.

Having suffered two years from trigeminal neuralgia and then having a near three years of respite from the pain, it was terrifying to feel the sensations of electricity begin again.
The benefits of the first two brain surgeries began to wane in 2012. I was still recovering from the trauma of the torturous pain and from the two months in a hospital undergoing the surgeries and overcoming the complications.
And now again, with each passing day the pain in my face was substantially increasing.
