Renungan Harian - House Of Peace

Jan 25, 2005 I am diagnosed with stage IV lobular carcinoma breast cancer. Wow! I was 39 years old. Too young to go through something like that!! This past year has been a whirlwind of God’s grace, mercy, and healing power. I started with chemo, at that point the tumor was inoperable and needed to shrink before I under went surgery. The amount of prayer I received from my church, family, and other believers was absoultely overwhelming (in a good way!) I was anointed with oil and laid on of hands. (James 5:14) As strange as this may sound I knew God was going to heal me so that I would not need a mastectomy. I had a peace but yet was still scared. Satan would of wanted nothing less than for me to turn my back on God.

(John 10:10) I under went 8 treatments of chemo ( now I understand why they call you a survivor!) I had an extremely difficult time with that. Through all that God proved Himself faithful to me over and over again. Three weeks after my last round of chemo I went through another PET and CAT scan. The results read,” the hypermetabloic lesions identified in the left breast, left axilla, and the left supraclavicular region have resolved.” “There is no evidence of malignancy.” My oncologist was thrilled and quite surprised with the results. I saw the surgeon and he said that he could not do a lumpectomy because there was no lump. He leaned toward the mastectomy due to the fact of my family history and a high possibility of recurrence. He also said to do what your heart tells you. It was time to stand on the promises of God. I had memorized 26 Bible verses of life and healing. Talk about really stepping out on faith. I do not doubt God at all. James 1:6 Some may say that I read into that final report. Whose report shall I believe the report of the doctor or the report of the Lord? My radiologist thinks I do not understand the seriousness of this cancer and that I am quite ****ish to not have a mastectomy. I did go through 28 treatments of radiation. He told me that he would not be surprised if I was to have cancer again this past Christmas. (I didn’t!) One doctor believed that I would be dead in 7 months. In the human eyes and medical field it is absurd for me not to have a mastectomy. 1 Peter it says that by His stripes I am healed that doesn’t mean by his stripes I am healed only if I have a mastectomy. Yes I could still have a mastectomy and I know that Lord would be with me, but if you know without a shadow of a doubt that you heard from the Lord why put yourself through that. Some may say that this process is not complete without a mastectomy. The Word of God says, “I will not die but live and proclaim what the Lord has done.” Psalms 118:17. Also “Every Word of God is flawless, He is a sheild to those who take refuge in him. Prov.30:5 That is what faith is all about. Faith does not make sense to someone who may not believe.The Bible says to prove God. And let me tell you I will prove Him until my time here on earth is done.
I had a mammogram last week. Went back to the surgeon. There is some thickness that he says is due to the radiation. However, he wants me to do another test. I will because I know without a doubt that I am healed. He could not see anything on the ultra sound. The doctors look at me like I have 3 heads when I tell them about the healing power of my God! Don’t get me wrong I would never tell a women not to have a mastectomy. That is something between you and God. I will continue to stand on the promises of God. There are so many wonderful promises. It was time for me as a Christian to put them into practice for my life. I had another doctor tell me that most women who die of breast cancer have a strong faith. Satan will use any means to make you feel that you have not heard from the Lord and to make your faith unsettled.
I turned 40 last month. Never thought I would be so excited to be 40!
“AndI will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” John 14:13-14. To God be the glory great things He has done and will continue to do!
