BLEEDING
Comfort and Joy While Bleeding
I collected some thoughts of comfort that can help us see the truth behind the fog of pain:
THE DREAM
1. I had a dream some months ago. In my dream I saw my husband and me casting concrete into a big dench, we were surrounded by children and then I cycled away and the children were following me.
I knew this dream comes from God, His promise is that He is making my inheritance tangible, concrete, giving us children. When people learn to cycle they learn to rule over this device, the cycle and trust that they will not fall and can move forward.
Faith is a bit like cycling. We learn to trust God for bigger and bigger goals and lean on Him.
The bike in my dream also symbolizes my menstrual cycle. We should not be scared of it, but instead we are to know and confess that it is a God-given device, very blessed, very healthy, and it is to follow God's plan perfectly to produce children. WE are not subordinate to our cycle, we are not ruled over by it. In Christ we reign over everything and this includes our menstrual cycle. The dream means that the cycle is blessed, being used by God to fulfill its plan! Children and blessing chase us down. (Psalm 23)
UNRESTRICTED MIRACLE
2. God is not limited by our cycle, He is mighty to do ANY miracles, He can place children in any minute into our wombs, even while we are bleeding. We need His supernatural intervention anyway, so let us not keep our eyes on the natural world, which is to change anytime and is subject to the supernatural. Hebrews 11, 3.
DEFEAT THE DEVIL
3. When we praise God during hard times, we can expect His great blessings, abundant joy. The Bible says that we have something great that the angels do not have and were so curious to see us having it. 1 Peter 1, 12. In fact we have something special: Jesus in us, the hope of glory, the miracle, the healer. And the possibility to praise Him, whom we cannot see. Angels see heaven and Jesus, but blessed and joyful is the one who can praise Him, whom she cannot see. John 20, 29. I feel such joy, abundant grace when I can do it.
If we bless God whatever we see, the devil MUST flee and depart from us. The devil is bad, he lacks all good traits, so he has no endurance. And he is beaten. So we must keep in mind that we are destined to win! Like when he left Jesus after 3 tests in the desert, he must leave us alone, too- especially if he cannot find us anything to torture us with.
IN THE PROMISED LAND
4. Know that you are on a blessed way. We are blessed when we go in and go out. Our children are not only blessed, when we can hold them and prove that they exist. The whole process of conception is blessed. We are already blessed and walking in God's Promised Land.
NO WORRIES
5. I liked Pastor Nerida Walker's encouragement. She wrote to a sister: That we should not hinge everything on one month. If we are not pregnant this month, it does not mean it won't happen in the next. Keep up hope and let us be practical.
NO SELF-CONDEMNATION
6. Do not blame yourself or think you did not have enough faith. Jesus has enough faith and He lives in you. God's promises are still true, they do not stop just because of some blood. Give thanks that He has heard you and seated you into your husband's house as a joyous mother of many children. Amen. And you shall see.
THE WORD
7. Ez. 16, 6. God is blessing you, sees you when you are bleeding. This is the time of manifestation and miracles.
'Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, "Live!"
Jesus bore bleeding for you, so that you can be fruitful.
DEVINE CYCLE
DIVINE MENSES
One day I was wondering: How does our menstrual cycle know when it is the 28th (or 22. or 25…) day? How does the heart know when to beat? How does the lung know when to breathe? It was our Father, the Creator who wrote it into our bodies- and the body obeys Him. How mighty, how powerful, how wise He is! But Jesus' Spirit also wrote the old and new truth into our bodies – at the high cost of Jesus' stripes: be fruitful and multiply! Be healed! How strong is His command!
Christ is the Creator and Lord above all! Over our bodies, over the cycle, over all reproductive processes, over the hormones!
According to Romans 8, 11. Jesus' resurrection power is reanimating, reenergizing, rejuvenating our bodies, filling it with life, power! Holy Spirit is making our reproductive organs effective!
"And if the spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you."
BRING ALIVE!
In the original Greek the word "zóopoieó" is used, which means: cause the dead to have life. The commentaries say that it will not only happen to us in heaven but every time we receive faith from God.
SPIRIT OVER BODY
Have you ever felt like this? : Circumstances, disease, lack, the menses govern or limit our lives. They define what decisions we make, where we go, how our daily routine is… We should never feel that way. Jesus is the Lord above our life! So it is not the menstrual cycle which governs our life and the conception. We are set free indeed. Our lives and the conception of our children are governed by Holy Spirit. Our children got conceived by the divine, incorruptible Seed, Jesus. In the natural of course, biological processes happen. But we can leave all the biological processes in God's hands and focus on how strong and full of life Jesus is, how much He is able to make us conceive – through the divine Seed.
1 Peter 1, 23. "For through the eternal and living Word of God you have been born again. And this "seed" that he planted within you can never be destroyed but will live and grow inside of you forever"
BIBLICAL EXAMPLE
Our physical, biological circumstances cannot limit God. Just think of David, how He beat Goliath, although he was a lot smaller. Gideon conquered a great army with only 300 people. A weak woman killed Sisera. Sarah gave birth to a child at 90.
PRAYER
I pray that we see Jesus greater than any weakness. I pray that we allow this limitless, amazing, loving Father help us find our rest in Jesus, find our strength and fertility in Jesus. Amen.
A VALUABLE COMMENT
I've been meditating on Romans 4:19-21, Paul's account of Abraham and Sarah. Had they considered their bodies, they would have been weak in faith, wavering and falling into unbelief (sounds familiar ). Maybe they wavered at times, but eventually they stopped looking at their bodies as what would produce the promised child. Instead, they chose to only consider God and His promise and took their eyes off their bodies.
This is very difficult to do in our own strength, especially when we see the blood or lack thereof on a regular basis. But the Holy Spirit has been showing me that it doesn't matter what my body is or isn't doing; I am healed, fruitful and pregnant already. The evidence of my healing and fruitfulness isn't what my body is doing; the evidence is my faith!
Faith is the evidence of things hoped for!
And it's all the evidence we need! I have faith in God. I believe His promise, I receive it knowing Jesus made it available and accessible to me, and I know the Holy Spirit will bring it to pass according to His power working in me and through me (Eph. 3:20)!
He did all the work then and He's still doing all the work now! It's just a matter of renewing our minds to the simplicity of it all.
Jesus, help us!

UNDENIABLY FRUITFUL
How to stay joyful when bleeding? God gave me a dream
that helps me a lot. In my dream God likened the blood to fruit juice. I felt Holy
Spirit telling me that whatever I see, I can interpret as a sign of fertility,
fruitfulness. The Bible says the truth, that we are like fruitful vine. Psalm
128, 3. And that is true. So when we see blood, we should not associate lack,
emptiness or disappointment with it. We can see that our womb is healthy,
victorious, like a holder of wonderful babies. Our babies are like fruits. And
the blood is fruit juice. When it comes, it means, that our blessing overflows.
When it does not come, it means that the fruit juice is kept inside. When you
see tissues coming, it is just pulp. When you see a different colour, it is a
different type of precious fruit, plum, blackberry or strawberry.
Please forgive me for speaking about it openly, but it helped me so much. I encourage you to keep confessing and thinking the truth, that you are highly favoured, greatly blessed, unstoppably fruitful because the resurrection power of Holy Spirit lives in you (Rom 8, 11.) and Jesus' finished work on the cross. Jesus' blood is the only reason we can all get hold of our inheritance. Confessing the truth helps you see God, the truth, it helps us enjoy our relationship with Jesus and when we are at peace, we hear God's voice, guidance better. The Word is active and brings life.
Hebrews 12, 4.
"For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart."
God can make a surgery on us using His Sord and Spirit!
Proverbs 4, 22
"For they (the Word) are life to those who find them,
And healing and health to all their flesh."
I pray this tip helps you. It is just a little help. It can help us believe, it supports our faith, which is our precious relationship with our Heavenly Father. But our real Helper and Fertility is Jesus! We can see the blessing manifest thanks to the blood of Jesus, which is already ours. Thank you Jesus! Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for You created all of us to have a strong and good body, to Your glory, to magnify and praise You, to be a happy mother of many children! You surround us with Your love and Your strength. You gave Your only begotten Son to give us life to the full, to enjoy our family life and You gave us an easy yoke. I bless myself and my sisters with joy, which is our strength. Neh 8, 10. May we all keep seeing Jesus in us and His work in all areas of our life. Thank You that we are already extremely fruitful to Your glory! Anything else is a lie. Amen, in Jesus' name.
FROM FEAR TO BOLDNESS
SEE THE REAL ENEMY
Ephesians 6, 12. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
Often when I started to bleed, I used to rebuke the bleeding and sens it away. I think it is OK to fight against the symptoms, because Jesus also spoke to the wind, the illnesses and gave commands to them. Luke 4, 39.
On the other hand this verse struck and meant to me something new now: It is wiser not to fight against the blood, but rather against the devil. Satan is my foremost enemy, but a beaten enemy. I just need to tell him that Jesus had beaten him on the cross, Jesus rose from the dead and the devil has no right to take away my healing and the fruit of my womb.
EFFECTIVE PRAYER
Mark 3,27. "No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house."
In this verse the strong man stands for the devil. He sometimes manages to steal our possessions: our hope, love, faith, healing, wealth, time, money… But if we bind him= if we command him to leave our circumstances in Jesus name, we can take back what is rightfully ours: infertility stops, the healing comes back. I think first we need to understand that we have the power to stop the devil and then we can see good results. Whereas when we fight against the blood, there is a danger that we keep our eyes on the physical "reality". If the bleeding continues, we may think that God did not listen to us- which is not true.
GODLY VISIONS
Some days ago when I prayed with my husband I saw a river full of filthy blood. God told me that it symbolizes the Nile, the water of which was turned into blood. Although it was a scary sign, to the Jews it meant that God is fighting for them, He worked powerful miracles and the victory, when they could leave Egypt, was CLOSE. So the sight of blood should not frighten me/us. Even if we see blood, we must know: God is performing a miracle I our womb now, we were saved from barrenness. We must keep in mind that God can turn the water into blood and blood into water (amniotic fluid). We can remind the devil of his defeat.
VISION OF WAITING
If the devil wants to prolong our waiting and it takes some months till we fully understand God's goodness towards us and as a consequence we conceive in e.g. 3 months not in 1 month- then God will show Himself even greater to us and people in our surroundings. Like in Egypt the pharaoh did not want to let the Jews go, so the Jews had to wait - and God showed miracles that were heard about worldwide. God pays back double for our trouble. But I declare in faith that we conceive very soon and now.
God is a God of miracles, He can create galaxies, give the blind sight, to those whose legs had been amputated, he can give legs. How could my blood prevent Him from saving my child? God parted the Red sea. God is able to stop my bleeding anytime or bring me through it unhurt.
MIRACLE OF MULTIPLICATION
In my mother tongue, Hungarian placenta is called "womb pie", similar to "womb bread" – it nurtures the baby in the mom's womb. Like Jesus multiplied the bread, He can multiply my placenta/ womb pie- so that it can be enough for the baby even if I bleed. I think it helps us if we do not get too frightened by the blood, if we do not see it as a sign of defeat. If we keep in mind: God is able to do everything, He can place children in every moment into your womb. Just declare (and command) that you are pregnant- all the time.
JESUS' BLOOD
The most important rhema for me: Jesus bled on the cross so that I do not have to bleed month after month. God gave up his Son (and Jesus came on the earth to die for us) so that I do not have to give up my children- I can have sons and daugthers.
