Can God still heal chronic illness today?
My journey through autoimmune disease taught me that the answer is yes. What doctors couldn’t explain, God made possible.
In this post, I’ll share how I battled autoimmune symptoms, discovered The Wahls Protocol, started a family prayer group during lockdown, and ultimately experienced supernatural healing that even medical experts couldn’t explain.
Living with Autoimmune Disease Symptoms
It started slowly: fatigue that never lifted, migraines that made daily tasks exhausting, brain fog that clouded my thinking, and skin flare-ups that were later called eczema.
Eventually, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Like many people facing chronic illness, I was told there was no cure—only management through medications and lifestyle adjustments.
That day, I cried. But I also remembered something greater: God is bigger than any diagnosis.
Choosing Faith Over Fear
When you’re in pain, it’s easy to lean into fear, research endlessly online, or cling to the next treatment. But I chose to lean into faith.
I remembered the words of Jesus in Luke 8:48: “Your faith has made you well.” That verse carried me.
So I prayed. I cried out to God. And I believed I wasn’t walking through this battle alone.
The Wahls Protocol: A Step Toward Natural Healing
In my search for answers, I came across Dr. Terry Wahls, a physician who reversed her own progressive MS using what’s now known as The Wahls Protocol.
This lifestyle plan emphasizes:
- Nutrient-rich vegetables and greens
- Sulfur-rich and colorful plant foods
- Grass-fed and wild-caught proteins
- Removing processed foods, sugar, and gluten
- Supporting gut health and reducing inflammation
I followed the protocol diligently. And while I noticed some improvements—less brain fog, better sleep, fewer flare-ups—it wasn’t the complete healing I was praying for.
Functional Medicine Helped, But Still Fell Short
I also turned to functional medicine doctors, who ordered extensive (and expensive) tests: gut microbiome panels, hormone testing, and food sensitivity reports. I tried supplements, detoxes, and treatments.
The results? Some small changes, but still no breakthrough.
That’s when I realized I was trusting the process more than the Person who heals.
A Vision from God During Lockdown
During the lockdown, while symptoms still raged, I had an open vision one night while praying. God showed me I wasn’t the only one suffering—many people were silently battling illness, fear, and isolation.
In response, I started a family prayer group on Zoom. What began in 2020 as a way to connect virtually has continued for years. Week after week, we’ve prayed, cried, laughed, and believed together. That prayer group became a lifeline and a reminder that healing often begins in community.
Surrender: The Key to My Healing
One night in prayer, I felt God whisper:
“You are trusting the protocol more than you are trusting Me.”
It pierced my heart. I had been seeking healing everywhere else, but I hadn’t fully surrendered to God.
So I let go. I stopped obsessing over lab results and protocols. I still cared for my body, but my focus shifted to worship, scripture, and intimacy with God.
And then something miraculous happened: my symptoms began to disappear. Energy returned. Pain faded. Lab tests came back normal.
Even my doctors couldn’t explain it. But I could.
It was God’s healing power.
Faith and Science: Working Together
I’m thankful for the insights of people like Dr. Terry Wahls and Dr. Josh Axe, who emphasize nutrition and cellular health. I’m inspired by the testimonies shared by Lee Strobel, who documented supernatural healings that medical science could not explain.
But in my life, the turning point was when I surrendered fully to God. Faith didn’t replace science—it fulfilled it.
Healing Scriptures That Sustained Me
Throughout my journey, I clung to God’s Word:
- “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” (Mark 5:34)
- “I am the Lord, who heals you.” (Exodus 15:26)
- “By His wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)
God’s Word became my medicine.
Daring to Heal
If you’re facing an autoimmune disease or another chronic illness, here’s what I want you to know:
- Healing is real.
- Miracles still happen.
- God still heals today.
It may come slowly through lifestyle changes or suddenly through supernatural intervention—but healing is possible when you dare to believe.

Final Thought:
You don’t have to accept every diagnosis as the final word. Doctors may have knowledge, but God has the final say. And when faith is paired with action, the impossible becomes possible.
