Annie's Testimony - Our God is a Root Cause God

Annie prayed the same prayer for about ten years. Every healing service, every time someone offered to pray over her, she asked for the same two things: the gut pain and the acne. The answer was no — or rather, not yet. This is the episode where she explains why she's grateful for that. Starting around age ten she dealt with severe acne, bloating so bad she looked six months pregnant, a personal record of twenty-one days without a bowel movement, painful cycles, and a brain fog that made college feel like wading through mud. She saw allergists and dermatologists, tried every cream and cleanser and elimination diet, and got nowhere — until comprehensive lab work found what nobody had thought to look for. God isn't a symptom God, she says. He's a root cause God.

In this episode

• Three ways God heals: immediately, slowly, and not yet — and what each one is for
• The full symptom list Annie carried for over a decade, and how normal it all seemed
• Why an immediate healing would have cost her something she now wouldn't trade
• What the comprehensive lab work actually found — and why four peanut butter sandwiches a day suddenly made sense
• How constipation, recirculating estrogen, and painful cycles turned out to be one story, not three
• Why the cross she begged God to remove became the doorway to their clinic
