Pneumonia AGAIN! Pray for Brother John

Please pray for Brother John, now with PNEUMONIA.

I have been very concerned for my beloved Brother John for the past week. His health is very fragile, and although he may seem to do well one week, his health can crash overnight. They told me yesterday John had developed pneumonia once again.

Pneumonia caused him to remain in the intensive care unit for 5 months in Tulsa OK three years ago. It cost that hospital over one MILLION dollars to save his life.

He is sleeping much more now, and only eats part of one meal a day, as I observed also today.

Mucus is deep in his throat and lungs and it is very hard for him to clear them. I try to encourage John to let them get him out of bed daily, but because of great pain whenever his legs are moved, he fights this suggestion.

And yet...when John is awake and alert, he is faithfully confessing the promises of God over his life and believes that God has miracles of healing and provision in store for him. He loves to pray with me. He will reach out one weak hand and grasp mine, and take turns praying with me as I stand by his bedside.

I have a true confession to make. 

Having to observe John in this condition, day after day is very difficult for me, because I love him deeply. At times I just want to quietly walk out of his room and life because I simply cannot deal with this any longer. 

I am worn out from sleeping every night in the parking lot of his nursing home, and to then be with him as he often endures pain or depression.

Today I was forced to listen to John literally scream in pain due to his left leg hurting so badly. I quickly went down to the nurse's station to request more pain medication, and we could all hear John screaming in pain all the way down the hall. A solution was finally found when they cut off a gauze bandage that apparently was applied too tightly to his foot. The pain was finally alleviated, for now.

I do not know how much more of this I can endure before simply having to take a break, as I had mentioned earlier. The problem is that John panics if I am more than a few days away from him. His health then deteriorates and he becomes very depressed.

Please pray with Brother John and I, for a true miracle that is far reaching at this time. All of this is very hard on him, and very hard on me as well.

Thank you for your intercessions and prayers at this time. 

My prayer for John is very practical. I am finally praying that God in His great mercy either divinely heals John completely with a Lazarus-type resurrection miracle, or that He kindly takes John home to heaven. 

John cannot face martial law and national crisis in his present condition, and life for him is very difficult on a daily basis. Even a bedsore is slowly developing on his backside, that we are desperately trying to alleviate and stop before it goes any further. John does not need any more pain or suffering.

But the amazing thing is, that JOHN STILL TRUSTS GOD THROUGH ALL OF THIS!  He never stops praying, even while suffering intense pain this morning. His left foot was in agony. He cried out "Oh, GOD, please heal me! Stop the pain!" 

And what is even more amazing, that shortly thereafter the pain DID stop! In fact, he told me that his hurting foot became completely numb! No pain! His eyes grew very big as he told me this, as I stood at his bedside.

Thank you Jesus! We took hands and prayed that the pain would not return.

I am now going back to his room to check on him, and will let you know the outcome. (I type articles in another room so that John is not disturbed while resting.)

UPDATE - APPARENTLY John has had a touch from the Spirit of God! He was back to joking like his jovial self again. Silly humor filled his room as he began to return to his old self and sense of humor.  I found this quite a relief after the wretched shape he was in earlier this morning.John remains very unpredictable in this health condition. I always know when he is feeling much better.His crazy humor let's me know!

Thank you so much for your prayers and concern. Pray for my vehicle as well: it is going into the repair facility tomorrow, and hopefully it will be finished by the weekend. Pray that repair and parts costs will be minimal. Thankfully, a precious Christian family invited me to stay with them at night while my SUV is being repaired.

Thank you so much! Brother John says hello too. 

God bless you all...

and thank you for your support 

at this difficult time.

 It has meant so much!

My Brother is Suffering...Pray For Him

By Pamela Rae Schuffert presenting investigative journalism from a Biblical Christian perspective-

www.AmericanHolocaustComing.blogspot.com

YOUR PRAYERS ARE NEEDED FOR MY BROTHER JOHN

This is one of the hardest things a family member can endure. I am sitting next to my brother in a nursing home, watching him groan in deep pain and cry...and there is nothing I can do to alleviate this but pray. I will be using Sylvia's anointing oil that she so kindly sent me to use in ministry, to anoint John daily and to pray as I sit by his side.

When I asked him what part of his body was hurting, he said his whole body hurt. I am forced to listen as my brother cries and begs God to heal him and take away the pain. Our prayers together now do not stop because of the excruciating pain he endures daily. Unfortunately, pain medication and therapy can only do so much.

The persistent pain in my shoulder and arm from my recent  lifting injury at the ranch in Minnesota does not help, either, since I am here to help alleviate and minister to HIS pain. Just pray that God will expedite my complete healing, so I can fully minister to John and perform other ministry God has called me to in this region.

My brother's feet give him great pain, as well as his legs. His left foot was recently injured, causing decubitis or a bed sore. Below is the foot with the bedsore (not visible, on sole of foot.)

My prayers for John at this point are very realistic and practical, and he knows it. He is lingering in a terrible bed of pain and suffering. In his present condition, he cannot even get out of bed, and when they do assist him to do so, the pain is unbearable. He cannot walk, he cannot sit up unassisted. And he goes through this terrible bout of excruciating pain manifesting every single day.

As I told his nurse, I am praying that God will either heal him through his and our faith in Jesus Christ and the power of prayer, or that He will take my brother home to be with Jesus at last, free from a body of suffering and pain forever. I am praying that he does not have to linger in this netherworld of endless hospitalization, pain medications, a dysfunctional body and chronic pain and suffering.

Standing united in the promises of God

Please pray with John and I. It is incredibly difficult to have to sit by his bedside and watch him endure torment and pain. Only a divine miracle from an Almighty God through Jesus Christ can fully heal my brother and alleviate his suffering.

Thank you for your kind prayers at this difficult time.

And let us remember in prayer the many other people in hospitals and nursing homes across America, and their helpless condition. What will happen to THEM under a martial law scenario?

I am now reading accounts of victims of Hurricane Katrina now, especially the elderly and handicapped in nursing homes. The truth is not pretty. In a state of emergency, many of these helpless people were abandoned. And many of those abandoned and left behind died under squalid and horrific conditions.

http://www.globalaging.org/armedconflict/countryreports/americas/affectedmost.htm

When things are going normally in our society, the care of the elderly and handicapped can proceed as usual. But when times of crisis and emergency arise, the fate of these helpless sick, elderly and handicapped people lies in the balance. What would happen to them if their caregivers and workers suddenly abandoned them and all rushed home to take care of their children and loved ones, in a state of emergency???

As I sit here, praying with my brother, I am acutely conscious of what may happen in our nation, America, today near the end of 2013. Reports of potential disasters and crises for October and beyond have been going viral across the Internet. Researchers all know that foreign troops have been coming into America all summer long. Such troops have been seen delivering heavy armored vehicles for DHS to police departments nationwide. 

Rumors of planned economic collapse are circulating. Reports of planned pandemics and deliberate release of "zombie virus" are also being posted across the Internet. I just received a phone call from a person in NW Montana, who told me of the presence of military involved in a strange operation going on there today, October 1st, 2013.

If there IS an economic collapse..if there IS a planned pandemic...or earthquake... or other disasters, where does that leave the elderly, handicapped and infirmed???

The only truly reliable care such people can receive in times of severe crisis, is through their own trusted family members being with them throughout the ordeal. 

And that is exactly why I decided that I must be here with my brother at this time.

May God bless and protect you and your loved ones that may also include the elderly, informed and handicapped, throughout these times we all face together, 

by HIS grace and mercy and protection,

through Jesus Christ Our Savior.

Continue to pray for Brother John. 

May God's holy and merciful will 

be done regarding him.

FINALLY! Prayer Journey Across America Continues...Again

PRAYER JOURNEY ACROSS AMERICA

DAY 17

9/25 2013

It is a miracle that I can even type this article 

for you tonight. 

Every word I type is aggravating my recent injuries, and very painful. I have just finished enduring 4 days of excruciating agony due to an unplanned shoulder/neck/arm injury while moving heavy things in my U-haul trailer (including a heavy copy/printer machine) looking for things to donate to CORRECTING GAITS Christian ranch in Minnesota.

Sometime on the 21st, this accident happened quite unexpectedly. The pain began gradually after all my lifting and straining with heavy objects in my trailer. And continued to worsen and increase until it was almost unbearable. Sleep at night has been almost unbearable, with every  movement, even simply laying down, bringing forth more muscle spasms, contractions, numbness and tingling and PAIN.

These past four days have been days of unrelenting pain and frankly, agony.

Having a background in home health care, I performed research to discover what actually happened. Based on tenderness, swelling and pain surrounding my left rotary cuff (where arm meets shoulder) I determined that I had inadvertently torn some tissue there while lifting. Others nerves and muscles have been affected, with tenderness and swelling, including in my neck as well. Even numbness and tingling as well, where the swelling had blocked the nerves.

Unfortunately, I had to exit CHANGING GAITS prematurely and go the closest WHOLE FOODS MARKET in St Paul, to get the proper pain relieving liniments to rub into the affected areas to help alleviate the terrible and never-ending pain.

I was not looking forward to driving! But when you are a woman alone on the road, you have no other choice but to look to God for HELP and grace, and push ON. How badly I felt about leaving Guy and his wonderful ranch hands prematurely! 

But I DID provide a great Sunday dinner for all of them before leaving. Had to cancel the big barbecue cookout I was going to do for them, and instead go purchase some rotisserie chickens and salads and deserts to bless them for all they do. My friend Cathy, who works with them, had to drive me to pick them up.

Sadly, I realized with this unexpected health problem developing, that I would have to cut short my plans for a more extensive journey on the way back to be with my brother, and go the most direct route so I can completely rest my back and shoulder and arm as soon as I get there.

I had originally planned to go the longer route that would take me near Washington DC and FEMA REGION THREE to pray at this important time in our nation. But God hears our prayers for ANY region, no matter WHERE we are. 

I just don't have the strength at this time, and do not feel it wise to prolong my time on the road with health issues like this. Safety is a major concern for me as a woman alone on the road. And so, I am proceeding directly to my brother the closest route at this time.

I am now forced to type with one hand at this time...my left shoulder and arm just doesn't want to cooperate...pain getting worse as I type with both hands. Darn!

I apologize to my readers who requested postcards...I have DOZENS OF THEM! And stamps too. I mailed out the first batch a while ago. But dealing with this pain and incapacitation has taken everything at this time. After I arrive, I can then safely focus on doing more articles and mailing out more postcards as I recover gradually. One health article said the damaged muscle in my neck may take 1-4 weeks to completely recover from the pain and injury.

And the rotary cuff injuries may be even more complex with it's own set of particular problems, including weakness and numbness.

Every day I have had to battle the pain and uncertainty of everything that just went wrong health-wise, with the power of PRAYER AND THE WORD OF GOD...MILE AFTER MILE. Accompanied by stopping to rest frequently. But again, when you are a woman traveling alone, you have no other choice but to take the hand of Jesus and battle it out until victory is achieved and you safely arrive at your final destination at last.

So please pray for my health issues at this time with me. Secretly, I am hoping no one notices me here in this truck stop restaurant, desperately trying to type this to you all before my strength gives out due to pain, as I periodically pause to try an adjust my position to alleviate this.

And THANK YOU ALL for your support that made this PRAYER JOURNEY ACROSS AMERICA all possible! THANK you! God BLESS you ALL! I will thank you all individually when I get to my destination and have recovered enough to write and send postcards to all who helped enable me to do this.

Please, just pray for this final day of driving tomorrow. 

Pray for a total healing miracle so that I can get proper sleep at night...including tonight (Weds nite). Pray for strength for the final day of driving (maybe two in fact, depending on how long I can drive each day.)

Pray for my safety as well. Thank you all for your prayers and support!

Pamela, back on the road again

MIRACLE: Healing for My Hands

By Pamela Rae Schuffert presenting investigative journalism from a Biblical Christian perspective-

www.AmericanHolocaustComing.blogspot.com

Hands can often be painful

I have never told any of my readers, but ever since my ordeal in the Arctic Circle and exposure to bitter cold temperature extremes and overuse of my hands (skinning/processing moose, caribou, salmon and other work related work exposure) they have suffered from pain that alternates from moderate to severe at times.

Throughout all my life, I have never suffered from debilitating chronic pain of any kind, especially in my hands which are so needed daily for my work.

In fact, it has taken over 8 months since leaving the Arctic, for my hands to gradually heal from severe and continual, recurring pains. I never told readers, but the pain got so bad in Alaska that my hands were becoming slowly crippled, almost to the point of not being able to perform essential body functions such as brushing hair and teeth, etc. This is one of the reasons I had to regretfully leave Kotzebue, Alaska. My health was slowly being worn out and so were my hands.

And this was in spite of the fact that I am strictly organic and 95 percent vegetarian, no wheat/gluten, utterly non-GMO, NO seafood because of toxic ocean pollution and Fukushima radiation in the Pacific, etc. I analyze everything I eat or drink daily, due to such toxicity in the foods we eat today. 

(And surprisingly, it does NOT cost more in the end. The processed "foods" and often unhealthy meat/milk dairy cost far more, including in terms of negatively affecting our health. I live on pennies a day when I consume only whole, raw organic living fruits and vegetables daily. Perhaps a grapefruit for breakfast, raw broccoli and hummus for lunch, organic fruit/vegetables for dinner with occasional legumes, nuts and seeds and olive oil, etc. This is my inexpensive yet healthy kind of diet.)

Because of my commitment to my fellow Americans and the urgency of the kind of information I publish for my fellow Americans, I have never stopping my reporting and blogging...as you know. Even though it requires intense use of my hands. I would simply pray, massage my hands periodically, and continue in this work. They have gradually healed from the most severe symptoms since leaving Alaska last November.

But still, the pain would continue to recur unpredictably at times, making even this blogging and basic personal tasks very painful. They worked fine: I could blog, drive, etc. without a problem as far as function went. But the underlying pain was often debilitating and excruciating periodically.

Finally, I knew I needed some more help with my hands. I recently prayed and asked the Holy Spirit to lead me to the right products in the local health food stores to help me. having done much research on various products and substances, I purchased a jar of raw organic cocoa butter with shea butter, jojoba and almond oil.

This is the actual brand I purchased, 

"INESSCENTS",

entitled

"Sudanese Coconut and Vanilla"

(But later discovered you can buy cocoa butter, shea butter, etc., cheaper in bulk on www.Amazon.com)

Cocoa butter and shea butter are known for soothing, anti-inflammatory and healing qualities.

Would you BELIEVE that almost immediately upon applying it to my hands and wrists, halfway up both arms, the pain started to leave! And the more time I spent massaging this into my hands, fingers and joints and lower arms, the more then pain subsided and actually disappeared completely upon each application.

No, I have no products like this to sell to you. That is not the motive of this article. Knowing the pain and suffering of conditions such as this, I would like to offer encouragement and a potential solution to all my readers suffering from similar conditions as mine.

You can find such products on your local health food shelves in cosmetics and beauty supplies.

You can discover them even cheaper in bulk on www.Amazon.com , as I did today. 

Also, I struggled terribly with chapped and dry, cracked lips. Continual use of BURT'S BEES lip balm did nothing to heal or alleviate my lips over almost 20 years now. But within days after applying this amazing cocoa butter with shea butter, my lips have become smooth and almost completely normal. I never thought this could ever happen for the rest of my life. But it finally DID! Praise God!

And thank God, now I am typing this article pain-free because of the amazing healing properties of cocoa/shea butter. Frankly, I dreaded the cold winter weather coming soon, because cold seems to exacerbate the pain and sensitivity in my hands. But this amazing cocoa butter seems to relieve even this, as I noticed during cold nights slowly moving into Montana now as the days become shorter now.

Let's admit it: pain can be a crippler and destroyer of a person's life, as we all know. I am happy to share this potential solution to those of your suffering with hand pain and other areas of chronic pain as well.

I prayed, and God answered...even in realms of health needs such as this! Thank you Jesus!

Have a wonderful day in Jesus, 

and keep you eyes on HIM. 

He has an answer to ALL of our problems.

Even martial law....

Because this world is destined to 

pass away

someday anyhow.

Our eternal home is 

with Him forever.
