My Journey to a Testimony of Faith and Healing from Cancer

In 2010 the doctor diagnosed me with stage 4 cancer (the highest stage, meaning it had metastasized (or spread to other organs).

This was my second time experiencing this, since my first diagnosis was in 2000.

I was diagnosed as Stage 2 but I said Stage 1.5 since one doctor said;

it had gotten to my Lymph Nodes, but hadn’t had a chance to setup shop

Word of Healing from the Bible

But the Lord gave me a word in season from the book of Isaiah 43:1-2.

But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Isaiah 43: 1-2 (KJV)

Huh! This was not the scripture I was trying to hear, because it said When you go through and I wasn’t trying to go through anything.
Much less going through cancer a second time, along with heart problems, 2 brain surgeries and a mini stroke. All related to the cancer diagnosis.

Testimony of God’s Faithfulness and Healing from Cancer

The Lord was faithful, even though I didn’t like going “through”. He provided me with what I needed to be healed from cancer.

I didn’t have to get a chemo port (blessing, blessing, blessing). I had to get one the first time around and never liked it.

And amazingly, the nurses in the chemotherapy room thought I had a good attitude and even asked me to speak with someone else who was having difficulty with their diagnosis.

Even though the nurses may not have believed in divine healing, and gave me magazines to read.

I didn’t read the magazines as I usually had my books on healing with me.

Exercising Faith to Receive Healing from Cancer

Nonetheless, I had a lot of people praying for me and I kept quoting healing scriptures which sounds easy, but it’s not!

Especially when you don’t feel like it and you can’t see any changes.

I would wonder at times if the Word was even working or if I would be healed from cancer.

This was because the scan results were the same, the doctor’s report was the same, and I couldn’t see what was happening spiritually.

This prevented me from knowing if God’s word was making any difference. Plus other health issues kept piling up like a mountain.

Trust me it wasn’t easy, but when I felt like quitting, the Holy Spirit wouldn’t let me.

And the next day I was at it again quoting healing scriptures and thanking God for my healing from cancer.

Praise God for Answered Prayers on Healing from Cancer

Today I’m cancer free, the CT Scan shows no cancer and the brain MRI shows no cancer.

Whew! Its been a journey.

The healing didn’t happen as fast as I would have liked it and to be truthful an instantaneous healing would have been just fine, but nonetheless, thank God, I’m Still Here.

Do I still quote healing scripture today? Absolutely!

And I still listen to sermons on healing and read all I can about the subject.

I had a head knowledge of healing before, but now I have a heart knowledge.

Isaiah 53:5 at the end says, “by His stripes I am healed” and I for one believe that.

God is still a healer today and I am a witness.
