*PARENTAL DISCRETION IS ADVISED FOR MATURE CONTENT* At 28, Jill’s life was a train wreck. Experiencing multiple traumas, she was addicted to crack cocaine and alcohol, she was down to 97 pounds and close to losing her life. An encounter with God after losing her job in San Diego she moved back to Chicago. She felt her life was hopeless, her health was a disaster, and she had no idea what to do next. Everything felt impossible. She showed up week after week at church and prayed to God asking Him to give her the resiliency to recover.

120. Miracle Healing of Multiple Sclerosis with Aurora Colello

Aurora was 35, married with 4 young kids under the age of 7 when the doctors diagnosed her vision issue as optic neuritis related to Multiple Sclerosis (MS). They said her sight would never return, and based on the location of 10 lesions on her brain, the incurable, progressive disease would confine her to a wheelchair within five years. Aurora was devastated but soon found herself on a journey with God and forever changed. In this episode Aurora shares:

The first signs and the shock of seeing 10 lesions on her MRI
Getting the news from top local physicians
The turning point from fear and hopelessness to faith in Go
God leading her on a journey to healing through promptings and people
An impactful moment from her past would lead her to set the goal of one triathlon (while she still had function)
Seeing results from holistic and functional medicine providers that she didn't know were possible
The joy of receiving the call that her MS lesions completely disappeared
Finding a new love of a sport and completing over 51 triathlons(!)
Her passion as a triathlete becomes a platform where she could minister to others

"I have come that they might have life, and have it in abundance." -John 10:10 More about Aurora: Through God's guidance, Aurora dove into functional medicine and healing the root cause of where her symptoms were coming from. She has never been on medications for MS, she uses food as her medicine and lifestyle changes have saved her life from one with MS. She healed her body from MS and is healthier now than she was before her diagnosis. After the first year of her lifestyle changes, her vision came back better than before, after being blind for over a month and she became physically active for the first time. She has been racing triathlons for 10 years, has been a sponsored triathlete and has raced over 51 triathlons including Half Ironman distances. Her story has been featured in Shape Magazine, Latina Magazine, Fox News, ABC LA and various TV Shows. She is a graduate of the Institute for Functional Medicine Coaching program, a coach, writer and speaker, and is passionate about sharing her story to give others inspiration and hope and teach them how the body can heal through diet and lifestyle changes. She is currently working in real estate with her husband in California. Disclaimer: While I make every effort to broadcast accurate information (both medical and Biblical), I am still learning. Medicine (holistic and traditional) is a constantly changing science and art. I recommend prayer as well as consulting with multiple physicians when faced with a health crisis. This podcast was created to share one's faith journey, not to prescribe medical treatment.

122. Jesus Appears and Heals Man of Terminal Cancer - Chuck Keels

Imagine hearing, "There is nothing we can do for you. You've got stage 4 cancer that has progressed to 90% of your bones. You may have 1-3 months to live. Just go home and be at peace with your family." Chuck Keel had always been a fighter. At a low point in the hospital, Jesus appears to Chuck and touches him on the shoulder. The message from Jesus and the journey that followed can only be described as miraculous! Today (over 8 years later) Chuck is thriving. His relationship with Jesus is solid and he is being obedient in his new calling of counseling others who are getting similar news from their doctors in his foundation called, "Get up and Live." Thank you, Chuck, for sharing your amazing testimony with us and for serving others around the world with your whole heart! You radiate the light of Jesus and are undoubtedly an inspiration to every person you meet! "When you believe in Jesus, when you believe that Jesus came here, suffered, died, and was buried, rose from the dead and took away all of our sins, everything changes. Despite all of the crazy decisions and stuff that I did in my life, Jesus is here for me now. You can go to him no matter what. There's a song, 'I run to the father again and again, we're broken, we're human, but He's there waiting for you.' My faith was what allowed me to say, you know what, I'm the guy riding around in my truck with my white knuckles trying to control everything, my kids, my job, my relationships, and guess what? Now that Jesus is a big, huge part of my life and my best friend, I can't change these things. But guess what? How about if I give them all to Him? I give them all to You, Jesus. Change the things you can and give the rest to God. It is so true. I lost my wife to cancer. I have kids, I have bills, I have every human thing just like you guys do. But the joy that I have in my heart now from walking with Jesus is absolutely incredible. I pray that you can open your heart to Him and experience this too." - Chuck Keels Chuck's website filled with resources for those fighting cancer, books, contact info: https://www.getupandlive.org/ Chuck's testimony on 700 Club (Miracle Man Sees Jesus): https://youtu.be/1Gg58qoBWoM
