PRAISE REPORT (9/11/2007)
GOD HEALS KATHY OF VERY SERIOUS
HEALTH PROBLEM, AND SURGERY IS CANCELLED!!!
We have an AWESOME praise report to bring to you this week! This is absolutely above and beyond our wildest imaginations and is but yet another example of how God is doing something really incredible in our lives lately. We don't know yet how to piece all the pieces of the puzzle together, but something is definitely happening in the spirit realm. We are experiencing increased levels of God's intervention, while at the same time also experiencing increased attacks from the enemy as well. While we don't know yet what all is happening to us, we firmly believe that God WILL prevail against the attacks of the enemy!!! So, with that in mind, let me tell you about what this praise report is about in order to give God glory.
About eight-weeks ago Kathy had to go in to see her OB-GYN for an emergency type visit due to some problems that had developed. They immediately ordered that an Ultrasound be performed on her, and what they saw scared them! Kathy's doctor immediately ordered Kathy to be admitted to our local hospital for surgery because what they found were very dangerous polyps that could quickly turn cancerous, that is if they were not already cancerous! When Kathy went though to the hospital admittance office, the news she received was not good at all. This would be a very expensive operation, and although we have health insurance our co-pay was $3,000.00!!! Well, needless to say, due to my health problems over the past three years, we have not had enough money some months to even buy groceries, much less have $3,000.00! So, Kathy had to tell the hospital admittance people that there was just no way that we could ever afford to pay that because we didn't have it. Well, as the health system in this wonderful country goes now, they immediately told Kathy that she would not be admitted to the hospital then. So, the surgery had to be cancelled!
Although Kathy came home very upset and somewhat down in her spirit, isn't wasn't long before something started happening to her. Kathy started getting upset. VERY upset!!!! Upset at the devil for all the junk that he had put our family through for the past few years! Upset that once again our family was being attacked with another health issue! Upset that no matter how hard we try and no matter what we do, nothing ever seems to get any better for us! Upset at everything!!!!!! So, guess what? She started to believe God like never before!
It wasn't long after this that Kathy's doctor found out that the surgery was cancelled due to us not having the money to pay. Due to the seriousness of this issue she immediately had her office call Kathy. They told her that since the surgery was cancelled that they would have to start doing examinations on Kathy every three months from now on to check to see what the growth rate of the polyps were. Kathy's doctor was so concerned though that she immediately ordered that Kathy come back into her office first for another examination only a few weeks after the first one was done. And after that, the three-month examinations would begin. Well, when Kathy heard this it did NOT set well with her at all. Why? The examinations are VERY painful and the thought of having to have this painful procedure done every three months from now on just because we could not afford to have the surgery done was not acceptable in the least bit!!! So Kathy started getting radical in her faith!
From that moment forward she began to believe in her heart and confess with her mouth that when she went back to her doctor for the next procedure that they would find NOTHING!!!! She began to confess that when they did the next Ultrasound that they would not find any trace of the polyps at all -nothing - zero - nada! So she started speaking this - "When they examine me this next time IT (the polyps) will be gone!" Over and over again she said those words. She began to speak to her stomach and abdominal area, "I command you that when they examine me again IT will be gone". Again and again she kept saying it until it got into her spirit so strongly that it consumed her. IT will be gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, finally the day arrived for her next examination. As I drove her to the hospital for her doctor to do the test, over and over again in the van Kathy kept saying, "IT will be gone!" "IT will be gone!" When the time came for them to call Kathy back, I had to stay outside in the waiting room and was not permitted to go back with her in the examination room. So I waited and believed and waited and waited. Finally Kathy came walking out of the back towards me and she had this wonderful glow about her face and a little grin showing. She held her peace until we had walked out of the office and then she said, "I TOLD YOU THAT 'IT' WOULD BE GONE! AND 'IT' WAS!!!!!!!" Oh Praise God Almighty!!!! She then began to tell me the story of what happened in the back during the procedure. As the doctor examined her to see if the polyps had grown or showed any signs of worsening, thus turning to full-blown cancer, the doctor suddenly became very confused. Kathy said that her doctor began to freak out somewhat and started saying, "I don't know what is going on but I cannot find anything here any more." Over and over again she began to become more and more confused as she began to question what in this world was going on. But try as she might she was not able to find even a trace of where the polyps had been! Nothing! Not even scarred tissue showing where it had been, nothing! Then Kathy began to tell me of how the doctor tried to explain it away. That maybe what happened was that her body had absorbed it into the lining of her walls. And if that had happened then if the polyps were cancerous then that would mean that the cancer had now spread into the tissue of the lining of Kathy's inside walls. So she ordered immediately that a biopsy be taken from the tissue of the lining of the walls. Because she feared that if the polyps were cancerous that now Kathy had even more problems that before!
But, as you probably have guessed by now, Kathy was neither discouraged nor afraid of what the results may be. All she could say over and over again was "I told you that IT would be gone!" And as she told me about the biopsy, she further told me that when the results of the biopsy came back that they would be negative! And that since God had healed her and removed the polyps supernaturally, then that meant that they did NOT disappear into the lining of her walls, thus there was no way any cancer had spread into her body! So all Kathy was expecting to hear was only good news. And good news it was! Do you want to know the results of the biopsy? Okay, here it is! It was Negative! Nothing! Benign! Perfect! There was NO evidence at all of anything wrong! Oh Praise God! Hallelujah!!!! You talk about a praise party! We had one!
In closing, let me encourage you to also find somehow the faith that Kathy found. Grab hold to the hands of Jesus and start speaking to whatever your problem is the same words that Kathy did - "IT, I COMMAND YOU TO BE GONE IN THE NAME OF JESUS!!!" Whatever your "IT" may be, speak now to it! Tell "IT" that it can no longer rule you! That it can no longer hurt you! That it can no longer run your life, or even ruin your life ever again! I believe with you right now that "IT" will be defeated and that "IT" will have to leave immediately!! And right now I believe with you that you WILL see it leave and that you WILL experience a dynamic, awesome miracle just like Kathy experienced!!!
With Love and Prayers,
