I BELIEVE I GOT MINE FROM MY GRANDFATHER, whom I never knew; my mom’s dad. I definitely know I got them from my Father God.
NOTE: Before you read more, I’d like once again to impress on you that God created all people of all time. He is the Creator. I also claim that He is the greatest artist. He loves variety. That’s one of the reasons He’s made people with different eye colors, hair (and types of hair color and textures), heights, weights, and yes, skin color.
This is one area where wicked people have helped Satan bring division, jealousy, and murderous hatred… Demonic!
Acts 17:24-28
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’
If you don’t believe this, you’re stupid. Children of God love God and man; we love the beauty of these differences!

So my eyes are blue. Recently they looked terrible. I’ve just turned sixty-nine and my age had nothing to do with it.
You see I rubbed and rubbed my eyes for a few days. They were super-itchy and my skin was red all round them, top and bottom.
I’ve had many health miracles: this Joy Story is one of them.
Selah.
BUT THE NEXT THING I’D LIKE YOU TO NOTE IS THIS:
I should have received instant healing. I know this, I believe this. However, my faith was not as full as it should have been. My fault!
This will help you.
Because I didn’t have an immediate healing I also asked God what did I do to bring this on. I had been using a facial concealer on my eyelids instead of an eyeshadow primer. I was using the wrong product…
And what’s worse, I knew it pretty much! Not at first, but later on I pooh-poohed it, wanting to do it my way… KEY! My way…!
Selah.
Finally my bad choice caught up with me. My first hard decision was no eye makeup until my skin looks healthy again. Hard, yes; but necessary since I wasn’t fully believing.
You know what friends; it’s good I can share with you some of my stupidity and still get the victory (just not as quickly.) Herewith I’m going to pause and give you Scriptures on health. Remember, it’s really awful not to take advantage of everything Jesus has done for us, including healing! He paid a high price for us in every way and He deserves always to be believed!
Selah.
SCRIPTURES ON PERFECT HEALTH:
Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered
him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
Matthew 8:16
When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
Psalm 103:1-5
Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
I have two more chosen days not to wear eye makeup. Right now my eyes and skin are ninety-eight percent better! All glory to God! He has even given me faith: and I need faith for everything!
Romans 12:3
For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.
So here is the great and helpful lesson for us all: when you do not stay in divine health or next best, receive immediate healing, ask God why did this happen? What did you do to allow this to happen. Ask Him. He told me!
Remember, you love a God who cannot lie and cannot fail! Listen to Him!
SCRIPTURES FOR THIS JOY STORY:
Titus 1:1-2
Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness—in the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time,
Isaiah 41:10-13
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. “All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.
John 14:21
Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
Romans 8:26-30
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
SMILE AGAIN!
Herewith are some of the physical attacks on my mind and body in which I received healing: all glory to God!
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
