We are truly sorry to hear about the persistent health issue that has been causing discomfort and embarrassment. We will stand with you in prayer, seeking God's healing and comfort. Before we begin in prayer discuss some important points.
First, we want to remind you that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and we should take care of them with diligence. It is very unfortunate that this verruca you contracted from a public pool. It's important to maintain good hygiene and be cautious of the risks that are associated in public places. In the current world there are a lot of diseases which do not have cures. This is especially true with blood and other dangerous contagious diseases. When you go to a public pool, as well as other public places, please be sure to protect yourself. There is no scripture which clearly covers this but this is our opinion the best way to avoid transmission of blood borne and other forms of communicable diseases from public areas. In terms of other faiths which require full body submersion, it is not necessary to do so for Christians. It is more Biblical to sprinkle. 2 Kings 5:10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean 2 Kings 5:14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God and his flesh came again like to the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. Some examples of many verses which place emphasis on washing Leviticus 14:8, Leviticus 14:9, Leviticus 15:5, Leviticus 15:10, and Leviticus 15:11 are examples.
No one should have to suffer because of some stranger's lack of public hygiene. Just because the verruca and similar problems are contagious, the scripture tells us exactly what to do. Leviticus 13:46 All the days wherein the plague will be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean. He shall dwell alone; without the camp his habitation.
It is important to look at the scriptures and understand in both the Old Testament and New Testament. The New Testament restates that rite of washing "Acts 22 Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord" Acts 22:16. We see this is the Old Testament and also into the New Testament so we know it is God wanting us to be clean. There is an overwhelming number of scripture in both the Old Testament and New Testament. Leviticus 15:16 And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. . As well as about washing and is also more focused in Leviticus 15:2. Since this is the case, why is your verruca not leaving? As we know sometimes God allows us to be tried to make us stronger. These are two of the many good reasons why the verruca may not be leaving and they are to strengthen your relationship with Jesus or this may be punishment consequent to God will deliver you. We mentioned before not to follow what other people are saying and look specifically at the Bible as our ultimate guide. Very simply read run and believe what it says. I Samuel 2:30 Wherefore the L-rd God of Israel said I said indeed that your house, and the house of your father, should walk before me for ever: but now the L-rd said Be it far from me; for them that honor me I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. Because you have trusted the Bible and trusted Jesus you have been spared and you did not have further problems.
Again we can point you to further scripture. It is important for us to know further what the Bible tells us about believers and non-believers. Hebrews 6:8; but that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh to cursing; whose end is to be burned. Hebrews 6:8.
We do understand the embarrassment and frustration this issue has caused. We understand you're not focused on the how of the potentially risky immoral behavior of the people in the pool, even though this is an important element to talk about in getting to the root of the problem. What is most important is the embarrassment and frustration that this has caused. We want to encourage you to hold onto Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalms 46:1 and also 1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able; but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Corinthians 10:13. We need to remember Jesus's words and believe in them to get through these issues as well
We want to remind you that all healing comes from God, and it is only in the name of Jesus Christ that we can be saved and communicate by prayer to God. If you believe you have not done so already, we recommend you do this now. Romans 10:9 Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9. Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. Romans 10:10. as well as Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved Romans Romans 10:13. John 3;16-17. Romans 10:9-13. John 14:6. 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
Now, let us join together in prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our friend who is dealing with this persistent verruca. Lord, there is no challenge too great for You. You are the God who heals, and we ask for Your healing touch upon them.
We pray for relief from the pain and discomfort, and for the verruca to completely disappear, leaving no trace behind. We also pray for emotional healing, that any insecurity or embarrassment will be replaced with confidence and peace.
Lord, help our friend to trust in You, knowing that You work all things together for good to those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. Give them the strength to endure this trial and to grow in their faith through it. We ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus.
What we know about healing is not just one scripture but multiple pieces throughout the Bible together. 1 Corinthians 12:9; To one is given through the Spirit of healing by the same Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:9 provide us with a reason to believe this. Psalms 41:4 I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. Psalms 41:4 is another healing scripture but more about the soul. Jeremiah 17:14. Another one is Jeremiah 30:17. When we feel we definitely are not lost. Trust in what the Bible says.
