The Power to Heal Is in You

I got injured and couldn’t walk. I got back on the soccer field after a 10 year break and tore my meniscus in the first game.

I sprinted and dragged my left foot to slow down for a pass, and heard a loud pop and then extreme pain, and went down. I instantly knew it wasn’t good. Thank God I was with my Freedom House Church people and I immediately asked for healing prayers, as I had to be escorted off the field.

As I attempted, unsuccessfully, to do some orthopedic tests to determine the injury, I prayed a silent healing prayer over my body. When you understand how impactful your thoughts are when it comes to healing, you make sure the thoughts you speak over yourself only bring healing, not fear or sickness. I went home struggling, but prayed for healing through my sleep. Then I woke up at 2am and couldn’t walk or put any weight on my left leg without extreme pain.

My healing power certainly kicked in. My knee became swollen and the pain levels increased, letting me know my body was on it. My innate healing power inflamed the area and went to work repairing the injured tissue, painfully, but growth and repair is supposed to be uncomfortable. That is how it is designed.

The next morning Dr. Tim assessed my knee and we determined a small meniscal tear and several strains in the muscle. Aubrey went and got me crutches since I couldn’t walk, and we decided someone needed to be in the adjusting bay with me to kick the foot pedals since I had function of only one leg.

The Number One Factor in Your Healing Is Your Mindset

Then the healing work began, and I received some reminders of what is most important through a healing journey. Through this journey, not one time did I ever think I wouldn’t heal or get back to 100%. Not one time did I reach for an advil, ibuprofen, or anti-inflammatory to stop the inflammation process. Acute inflammation is the repair and healing process of the body, and stopping it means stopping the body’s innate healing process.

I spoke healing over my body and, although the pain wasn’t fun, I honored it and knew it served a higher purpose. Then I assembled a team around me that believed in full restoration.

The Number Two Factor Is Who You Surround Yourself With

The second factor in your healing is those you surround yourself with and allow to speak into your life.

• Dr. Tim was my chiropractor, clearing my nervous system regularly 2 to 3 times a week for healing. This system is what sends the healing to my knee.
• Dr. Jerren did softwave therapy on my knee to increase blood flow and tissue repair twice a week. I drove 40 minutes for this 5 minute treatment. There were other offices with the same machine much closer, but I only surround myself with those who speak life and healing over me without doubt. That is rare to find.
• Dr. Sherman was my chosen physical therapist. I knew he would push me through the pain and get my muscle function back, even if it hurt through the process. I knew he was after full restoration of my knee, maybe even to a better place than before the injury.
• Dr. Dave helped me with peptide injections directly into the injury. Peptides are what your body makes to repair injured tissue.

I increased my supplement protocol and doubled my joint support. I took 2 to 4 joint health a day, twice my typical omega 3s, doubled my collagen intake, and continued taking my regular supplement routine. I started red light therapy as well over my knee daily to provide the best healing environment.

When I was at my weakest, struggling mentally because I could not adjust my patients with my typical ease, the Inspire team spoke healing prayers over me.

Anchor Your Mind, Assemble Your Team

Innate healing is not easy, but it is the right way to heal and have a full, healthy, long life. It is in the difficult moments that you realize who and what you are anchored to. When I was in my toughest pain zone in the beginning, my team did not repress the pain, they anchored me through it to the other side.

Your team of doctors should work you through the effort of healing your body and remind you who and whose you are.

I am writing this 16 days later and, through this intense healing protocol and lots of prayer, I am 80% better. Within 3 days I was off crutches. Within 2 weeks I was back at the gym. I live and breathe the 5 Essentials of healing. They work best because they are grounded in biblical principle, the ultimate truth. Because I live a high healing life, it was the foundation that allowed me to heal quickly once I intensified and specified my healing protocol.

I have lived this MaxLiving life for over 17 years. It’s not easy. You are constantly going against the culture of the world, which says to avoid discomfort and seek convenience and fleeting pleasure.

Wherever you are at in your healing journey, whether in the valley of pain and sickness or on a healing mountaintop, it is exactly where you are supposed to be. Keep going. Keep moving. Anchor your mind, assemble your team, and align yourself with the incredible healing power within you. I am with you. My healing power is on.

In Health and Truth,
