Deep cut healed with no trace
Some time ago I accidently cut myself shaving my legs. It had happened before, but this time I must have nicked a vein because the bleeding was profuse. I couldn’t stop it, so I called my husband to help me. I wasn’t at all frightened, because I was thinking how blood had nothing to do with God, Spirit, and I was His image and likeness. So blood had no power over me either.
My husband wrapped an elastic band around my leg really tightly, and that seemed to help stop the flow. A couple of hours later that tight band bothered me and we took it off, thinking it wasn’t needed anymore. But there was still heavy bleeding, so we wrapped it again.
I had been doing some research into testimonies of healings for my Sunday School class. A common theme I noticed was that when the testifier looked away from the material picture of the problem and thought instead about what God is and what He does, the material picture changed and healing was evident. I wanted to do that, too.
