About 2 years ago, i was diagnosed with an enlarged heart. The Dr. at that time said I needed to see a cardiologist for further treatment. Being uninsured, I couldnt afford to see a cardiologist. I went to my church that wed. evenening, (bear in mind, I had been away from Jesus for over 30 years prior to about a year before the diagnosis) and asked the Elders to annoint me with oil, and pray for my healing. I felt that God was going to heal me but was afraid to see if there were any results. So, for the past couple of years I've vasilated in the faith of my healing. Sometimes I KNEW I knew I was healed and sometimes I just wondered. Finally, (after getting health insurance) something really neat happened. I was praying night before last and asked for more faith....and asked what I should pray for. Yesterday morning, I had some very uncomfortable feelings in my chest, and my legs and feet were swollen...(symptoms of heart failure ). I prayed and asked God what to do....and I KNEW I needed to go to the ER. I went, had blood tests, an echocardiagram, and today had a cardiac cath. MY HEART HAS NO DISEASE AND IS NO LONGER ENLARGED(hearts do not shrink) ....IT IS NORMAL. AND I FEEL GREAT!!! GOD IS FAITHFUL!!!!

Praise God for the healing.

Not to quibble too much... but my own experience is that hearts do "shrink" and change shape. When my own cardio problems became so severe that I actually didn't think I wanted to go on I was a real mess. Different doctors were telling me different things... everything from "He's going to die..." to "Nah... it's fine..."

Plus I felt like I was about to die. Finally I just walked into the emergency room and told them I was having a heart attack. I wasn't - in fact pretty near the opposite was taking place - congestive heart failure had taken on to the point that I was under 10% heart function. My heart was so enlarged on the left side and misshapen that they couldn't "find" it all on the echocardiogram.

A year after finding the cause and treating it, my heart was back to normal enough that the echocardiograms could be done normally. My cardiologist threw her arms around me and said it was a miracle. She had tears in her eyes. After 2 years now, I'm "almost normal."

I've always wanted to be at least "almost normal..." It's a great feeling.

I rejoice with you Bro!
