For some of you who have been following me on this blog know that I have a special loved one who has cancer and whom I’ve been writing about. I wrote about her on these blog posts: Hiding Place , Hiding Place (Part 2) and Rejoice Evermore! The other day I got a text letting me know that she has been cleared of cancer. Hallelujah! Her recent diagnosis has shown that her cancer is in remission and is no longer a threat to her body. She will not be receiving any more chemo. Thank You, Jesus!
Interestingly enough about three weeks ago in the middle of the night I woke up with the Lord talking to me in my sleep. He was saying to me regarding this loved one, “She’s going to be all right.” I kept hearing, “She’s going to be all right” that I started to get concerned. So I asked, “Why? What’s wrong with her?” And I got in my spirit, “Poison in the blood.” I thought it was just me, but then I woke up. I realized that all the time the Lord was talking to me I was asleep. So, it wasn’t just me. The Lord was actually talking to me. It was after midnight and I couldn’t go back to sleep. I kept hearing still, “She’s going to be all right,” and then, “Poison in the blood…” So I ended up texting one of my family members who was taking care of her at the moment and told her about my dream. I asked her if there’s a thing about, “poison in the blood.” She didn’t respond until in the next morning and told me she had called the Oncologist and will let me know. I had told her to please check our loved one’s blood condition and see if it’s still normal. Unbeknownst to me, this loved one was not feeling well at all and had actually gotten worse after her chemo treatment done over a week ago. Usually by the end of the week, by this time, she should already be feeling better and getting up without any problems. Instead she’s still laying in bed and needs help getting dressed again. That’s why when I had texted and told about my dream this family member went ahead and called the Oncologist that was seeing our loved one. When the Oncologist called back she said to bring this loved one right away to the hospital and not delay. Sure enough a test was run and she has an infection. Her white blood cells were high. But thank the Lord the infection had not gotten into her blood stream yet because it was caught early. But if they had waited it could have been deadly. She definitely would have gotten a sepsis, which in my research I found out is the process of getting poison in the blood. It’s definitely not something you want to happen because it can be fatal. This loved one however, was admitted overnight and was released the next day after they gave her some antibiotics and her blood levels were normal again.
The day after she was released, I visited this loved one and prayed for her. I wrote about it in this post: Rejoice Evermore! In there I talked about praying for her for about twenty minutes and the Lord giving me the courage to pray for her, even though I had my own misgivings about praying for someone that is sick. The next day this loved one texted me and told me how much better she felt and so I rejoiced in that blog post.
For days afterwards whenever I would pray for her that the Lord would keep her from any more infections, I would get in my spirit that she’s well. I thought it was just me. But then I would hear it in my spirit again, that she’s healed. Finally, I said to the Lord, “Father, if she is, then that chemo has to stop because that chemo will just hurt her more than help her.” In my reading and research, chemotherapy even though it helps fight cancer, it can also end up damaging you. It can end up hurting your immune system. So much so that a patient receiving therapy ends up becoming very weak days after a treatment. Not only that, they end up feeling very sick and nauseous. Infections also occur naturally because of it and if the person is not healthy enough to begin with to fight the cancer, it can actually end up hurting them and killing them. This loved one is almost seventy years old and was in stage four of her cancer. She’s not very strong anymore. The cancer has really weakened her body. Needless to say if she can live without chemo, that would be the best for her. Thank the Lord in the most recent check up the doctors could find no sign of cancer, and the chemo treatments have been suspended. Thank You, Jesus!
Truly God hears and answers prayers. I love Him so much. I know He didn’t have to hear our prayers. I know He owes us nothing. But I love Him because He did. He is truly gracious to us and I cannot thank Him enough.
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. {2 Timothy 1:7}
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; {Psalm 46:1-2}
Prayer
Father, I thank You with all of my heart for You. I thank You for the faithfulness of Your love for us. I know You are faithful no matter what happens, come what may. I know that even if You had taken my loved one it would still be well because the best place in this universe to be in is in Your presence. But for now I am very grateful to You for giving her back to us and keeping her around for us. I love You so much Lord Jesus and I thank You for Your wonderful kindness upon my soul today. Thank You, Jesus! Amen.
