Dear friends,

Walking with Jesus Christ and living by faith in Him changes our entire lives. Below is a the story of a precious lady who works in our ministry with us, who was diagnosed with cancer. What a joy it is to share this with you, and is once again proof that “faith overcomes the world” (including cancer, and depression, and everything else).

I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 26 November after feeling a swollen gland under my arm. I didn’t think there was anything to be concerned about but when investigated the consultant found the gland to be cancerous and discovered 3 lumps in my breast.  Much to my shock he told me I had to have my left breast removed and also all glands in my left arm. I felt quite numb from that Thursday until the Sunday when my husband and I decided to ask our Pastor to tell the Church so we could be covered in prayer.  He brought me up to the front and I broke bread with the whole church praying for me as my Pastor anointed my head with oil.   From that instant the fear and shock lifted off me. Everyone I met was crying, except me! I was patting them on the back, saying it would be okay, all the time with a huge smile on my face. I came home amazed at my reaction as it seemed crazy in the light of my recent news, but I know it was not me, it was supernatural. The Holy Spirit, my Comforter, was working in me. 

 

I had my mastectomy on December 9th, smiling as I went under the anaesthetic (asked the surgeon just to double-check the area before using the knife just in case God had healed me before the op). I know God is my Healer and that sometimes we have to go through “stuff” to strengthen our faith or to help others. I know people saw Jesus shine in me at the hospital ward and I had the opportunity to give out “The Fathers Love Letter” to unsaved women. I felt like the whole thing has been a dream and God has protected me in like a bubble or something. I got out of hospital on the Sunday and a few hours later I was in Church, literally bouncing, worshipping and praising God for His goodness to me. Some people thought I hadn’t had my op yet.  Again not on my own strength, but supernatural  strength.  

 

I love God so much and know He has plans to prosper and not to harm me. I love the Book of James and believe that if we speak positive loving words, we shall bear fruit. What we say can bring blessings or curses. I read the healing scriptures every day and trust in God’s promises, this is how I know I am healed. I will be starting chemotherapy in a couple of weeks time and the Bible says that Jesus bore the curse for me and so am trusting in Him to take all my sickness and pain. The Life of God is within me, flowing through me, and will strengthen my immune system. The Bible doesn’t lie!

 

God led my husband to Setting Captives Free, He entirely set him free from sin, restored our marriage, and healed my broken heart. He has blessed us with 3 beautiful daughters to train as they should go, He came to give abundant life and the devil will not kill, steal or destroy any of these things. “I will not die, but live to proclaim the works of God!”.

I could go on and on and on, as I get so passionate when I start talking about God’s love for me.  I hope I have given you enough information and that you will still be able to use it to help others.

 

Love and God Bless you all
