A fibroid is a growth in the smooth muscle wall of the uterus (medical term is leiomyoma). It is a benign growth which means that unlike malignant cancerous tumors, it does not spread to other parts of the body and is not usually life threatening.
The symptoms that the person experiences depends on the size and location of the fibroid. While some people have no symptoms, others may complain of discomfort, a heavy feeling, backache and/or chronic lower abdominal pain. Fibroids can cause increased blood loss and excessive pain during menstruation, infertility as well as pain during sexual intercourse.
In the chapter on cancer on page 257, I explain the spiritual and physical dynamics that lead to the development of a growth (or tumor). As a general rule of thumb: a cancerous growth that is malignant (i.e. that spreads) is related to bitterness against others. A benign growth, as in the case of a fibroid is related to bitterness against yourself. Revelations 12 v 10 says that the devil is the accuser of the brethren. You have an accusing spirit that has been accusing you to yourself, pulling you down and making you feel guilty. The following chapters will help you:
- • “The Day Sanctification Begins” on page 116 – you need to separate yourself from your sin.
- “Forgiveness – A Necessity For Healing” on page 481 – you need to forgive yourself.
- “Who You Are In Christ” on page 498 – you need to build a healthy self-esteem by establishing your identity and sense of self worth in who you are in Christ and by seeing yourself as God sees you.
