God Healed My Food Allergies
I was allergic to most foods
and was constantly in pain. I
tried all kinds of supplements,
visited all kinds of specialists,
and read many books. Still, I was
not getting better, and I began
contemplating suicide.
Then a friend told me their
testimony of healing through Be
in Health. A month later, I went to Thomaston, GA,
to attend Be in Health's For My Life Retreat and Walk
Out Workshop.
Atthe For My Life week, I learned of FatherGod's love
for me and the power of repentance. The healing and
breakthroughs continued at the Walk Out Workshop.
I learned how to trust God and believe that He is
love, He has my back, His plans for me are good, and
His Word is truth.
Now I have no more allergies; my scoliosis is healed,
and my neck and back pain are gone, but most
importantly, I have freedom! God's truth, applied
daily, has set me free. I am forever changed by the
teachings that I received at Be in Health. -Abby
