Engaging your Faith

Not to many years back, my family and I faced a very intimidating giant named Cancer. It is a very scary and frightening illness. My son at the time was only 8 when diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. He had been ill for a couple years off and on with sinus,ear, and throat infections. His immune system was down. He had headaches so intense they were nearly unbearable. We all watched him change before our eyes. The fun-loving, happy-go-lucky child turned into a very quiet, nearly lethargic, unengaged person. I can not tell you how hopeless I felt at this moment. I kept taking him back to his pediatrician and it never got any better. The situation worsened. He had a knot to form on his neck. It was actually a mass of lymph nodes swollen together. We did not know this in the beginning. One morning I was so consumed with deep worry and grief, my Step Mom and I took him to Lexington at the UK emergency room. We were very concerned and worried. By the time we left we had 2 appointments for the next day. He was diagnosed and placed on a plan of therapy. He was so sick. He would cry for his brother. I had to be strong for him. I could not allow him to see me cry. I would cry in the shower alone, crying out to Jesus for help, for strength, for hope, for healing. I did not understand a lot at this time. I still do not claim to know much. However I do know my God is faithful. He went through treatments of chemo and radiation, and he suffered much pain. It was indescribably difficult. I never left his side. I would hold him like a baby and sing to him. I would quote God's healing scriptures over him. We would write them out and place them on a poster-board and placed them on our hospital room walls and doors. We would not allow anyone, including doctors to speak anything but total healing over him. Yes this was a fight, a huge battle. I refused to allow any negativity in his presence. The Lord so graciously healed my son from Cancer. We got a clean report from his Dr. October 5, of 2011. Everyday, every year we celebrate his healing. We make a little heart sign each Christmas that reads "Praise Jesus! I am cancer free!", and the amount of years it has been. We share his testimony wherever we go, whenever it is plausible. When doing so I lift my hands to heaven and say all thanks and praise goes to Jesus !

It is true that faith moves mountains. It is true that what we speak is the words that create our world. Speak life today. Break yourself from speaking anything contradictory from the word of God. Although we feel so desperate and alone, we are never alone because Jesus says in His word, He will never leave us or forsake us. He is so faithful.

See the Lord has already healed us, we just have to accept it and claim it.

1 Peter 2:24 By His stripes you were healed!

Mark 11:23" For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and shall not doubt in his/her heart, but shall believe that those things which he/she shall saith shall come to pass, he/she shall have whatever he/she saith. "

So speak to the mountain in your way with the authority that Jesus gives us and say to it, leave in the mighty name of Jesus for I am totally and completely healed in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Hallelujah,Amen.

We had so many friends and family praying all over this nation and world for this baby, almost 10,000 apx. We felt each and every one of those heartfelt prayers and the love from everyone and we are eternally grateful for all of our prayer warriors.
