Cancer Can’t Stop God!
So many times we’re struck by the problems the world throws at us. I know that was the case for this middle-aged woman who had been diagnosed with breast cancer…
-Season of Joy-
Hope is never gone where faith resides! I was attending a performance of Ben-Hur, a drama performed by amazing singers acting out the love of God. The theater was nearly full of Christians, even though it was intended as an outreach. It was an inspiring drama, and God used it to touch the hearts of many. God bless everyone who was involved!
After the show, the pastor went up and asked my evangelism team to come to the front, along with anyone who was sick. It’s in moments like this that I’m assured God will remove the burdens of sickness and disease from those who’ve been beaten down by the world. God wants to display His love and power, especially in big gatherings with unbelievers!
I stood at the front with the team, praying for the right people to be bold and come forward. In Filipino culture many people are reserved in public, so it isn’t easy to raise a hand, let alone walk up to the front for prayer. Even so, many ended up coming forward.
The first person I met was a woman with breast cancer. I don’t recall the words I spoke to her, but I do remember what God did! The power of God was evident on her. I can laugh about it now, but before she was healed, the presence of God was so strong that she began to fall over. Thank God for the team member, half her size, who was pushing on her back to keep her up, haha! It was quite a sight to see.
The cancer and all the pain left her body that night. She was grinning from ear to ear, praising God on high, and then she testified to everyone in that auditorium about what God had done! All glory to Him!
No matter what you’re going through, there is a season of joy coming your way! Above the clouds the sun is still shining. God has never withdrawn His promises!
The next lady I can’t forget came up to the front with a lower back problem. She had cracks, or something terribly wrong, in her lower vertebra and had felt hopeless for many months. It may not be easy to relate to this injury, but we can all relate to feeling hopeless. Putting aside our hopelessness and fear, we prayed for her back to be healed in the name of Jesus. She too was delivered from suffering that night and experienced her season change! After the pain left, she began to dance all around that theater, giving praise to God, who deserved it all.
Do you want to feel the freedom these women had? Then don’t give up on God, and don’t give up on prayer! As you fall on your knees to pray, you will rise. Find others to pray with, and don’t try to go through this world alone. God said, “It’s not good for man to be alone”. “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.” – Gal 6:2 (NLT). “Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.” – James 5:14.
-Season of Preparation –
My time in the Philippines has forever impacted my life and stolen my heart! Just last week I arrived back in my hometown to prepare for long-term missionary work. I know 1 1/2 years might already sound long, but I tell you, my heart is set on reaching those who are struggling, broken and living in a world without a relationship with Jesus. I want nothing more than to be there with people as they experience their freedom. There is no greater joy! I want to partner with God and allow Him to use this life for His glory.
Know that you have shared in the reward God is pouring out! Your donations have reached those in dire need. I’m praying that you too will feel the peace that comes from giving it all to Him and saying, “Here I am, Lord, use me.” Whether or not He calls you to another country, you have a big part in His ministry. Rest assured, you’re storing up treasures in heaven!
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matt 6:19-21
God has guided me to raise an army, and I plan to do so. I’m praying and watching for those who want to pray over the sick and watch God heal them! I thank the Lord that even in the short time I’ve been back in Georgia, He has given me many people to build up in faith, so they too will pray for the sick and see them healed. I want to freely give as God has given to me. Contact me if that is you!
I’m not sure how many months I will be in Georgia (I’m praying it’s only until winter), as I’m preparing my missionary status here in the States and raising up prayer warriors. You can continue to partner with God in this ministry He’s given me through tax-deductible donations. Hundreds have been healed, and tens of hundreds more have come to hear and know Jesus Christ because of your donations! I know that tens of thousands will soon be flooding into the Kingdom. God has shown me many visions about this.
Many doors have also opened in just this brief time I’ve been back, so please pray for God to order my steps as His servant. He is most assuredly a God of order. He gave King Solomon the details for building the temple, and Noah the details for building the ark. He will do the same in my life, and with every dollar given to His Kingdom!
