Brain Fog Immediately Lifted After Months of Suffering

Share This article

It began a few days after Christmas 2022. Lua Basnayake, a hardworking mom and online teacher, started having a hard time concentrating on anything but work. “I thought it’ll just go away. I can deal with it, I’ll find an answer,” explained Lua. “So much confusion. I would sit to get my taxes done, and I couldn’t spend 10 seconds focusing on it, not even 10. I’d get up and walk away and then try to do something else, say read my Bible, or write something,” she said.

Since she wasn’t having any pain, Lua decided not to see a doctor. In fact, she didn’t tell anyone. “I didn’t discuss this with my husband. I didn’t tell my children about it. I was trying to deal with it myself,” Lua recalled. “I didn’t think anyone would understand because I couldn’t understand it either. And the doctor would just put me on some medications.”

As time went on, the confusion grew worse. Getting through the day got even harder, leaving Lua feeling overwhelmed. “I was getting frustrated with stuff that is incomplete. I had to get so much done and things were piling up and piling up because I kept putting it off,” Lua explained. “Now you’re confused because you don’t know where to begin all over again. That mental block, it’s not allowing you to proceed. I didn’t pray about it, but I vented to the Lord. And I said, ‘What is this? Just take it away,’” she said. “It must be biological changes. Maybe I need to get some nutrients from my food. I haven’t been eating a balanced diet. I still thought, you know, it’s just gonna get better with time.”

By the end of two months, Lua was exhausted. “I felt defeated,” Lua confessed. “It was shameful for me, honestly, because when you have your standards up there and you fall short of your own, there is shame in you. I did feel like giving up many times. I would just stop everything and watch T.V. and that’s how I spent my days,” she continued. “Cause that’s the only thing that can get my mind off of the things I have to do.”

Then on February 13, 2023, Lua was watching The 700 Club when she heard Gordon give a word of knowledge. She noticed right away he was talking about her.

“There is somebody who is suffering from mental confusion,” said Gordon. “This is how you will know it is you. You cannot stay focused on one thing enough to actually solve the problem. Your attention keeps drifting, and you find it very hard to stay on one thing, to stay on task with your mind to focus your attention on one thing. God is healing you. He is giving you a sound mind. Receive that right now.”

“I knew that was me,” Lua said. “Everything that he said was correct. And I knew that the Lord was speaking to him about me. Nobody knew…it was just me and the Lord. I felt like something was taken off of me. Like the veil was lifted, kind of clarity.”

Lua says the results were immediate!

“I did my taxes and I got it done in a day. Then moved on to reading the Bible,” she said. “I was able to sit there and do it and not get up from the chair like every 10 seconds. I talked to God about it and I was praising Him and thanking Him.”

With a clear mind, Lua was soon back to studying God’s word with her husband, Rohitha, and their children. Inspired by the experience, she and Rohitha joined The 700 Club.

“The Lord reminds us that, no, you’re not in control of everything,” she said. “You don’t know everything. So for me, that was a lesson I learned…a humbling lesson that I can take anything to the Lord. The little things matter to Him. The big things matter to Him. We don’t have to do anything on our own. He’ll take care of us when we are close to Him,” Lua concluded.
