He calls Himself HEALER...He carries the curse of cancer...I pray that your friends eyes are open to receive what He did at the Cross and live her life out the way He intends her to live...I am a survivor of cancer...I refused the diagnosis and looked to Jesus so I could live out the life He gave me...That was 15 years ago...Please don't receive that bad report...There is a better way, beloved!

So happy for you that you've been able to survive and thrive! He can and could heal anyone He chooses. And I know no doctor decides the day of your death but God.

Heavenly Father, we know that with You - all things are possible! I humbly come before you and ask that it be your will for Kate’s friend to receive a miracle healing. May you use this miracle to draw others near to you and to exalt and glorify Your Holy name. Abba, what the enemy seeks to destroy, I ask that you turn it around and use it for the purpose of good. Thank you, Father, for hearing my petition and I ask this in the name of your precious son, Jesus.

I agree. An important point many people don't mention is that difficulty can make those of us with a relationship with Christ seek God even more. Not sure if this was God's intention, but it sure is the result.

I have dealt with this also, and overcome a major medical crisis of my own. The pain is not in vain, you wrote, and it isn't not ours, if we keep our hope in Him, and certainly not what He bore for us all. I speak healing and peace in the name of Jesus, Isaiah 53 says it all.

Isaiah 43:1-3 came up in my morning devotions and is so powerful. God doesn't exempt us from suffering but promises to see us through it. Praying your friend will feel the reality of His presence and comfort and be lifted above it all. With Him, nothing is impossible!

I met a man and his wife yesterday at a business getting supplies ..we started talking and about different things .he shared his testimony that he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and it was spreading he was at a church and the pastor stopped and said someone here has something going on in his chest area this man said he went down the pastor and said it's me the pastor and church prayed for him to have a miracle healing right then and there heat filled his body lasted 2 days went back to doctor cancer was completely gone ..I share this to say that the same God of Abraham Issac and Jacob that healed him will heal your friend in Jesus Name. He sent His Word BE Healed ..praise His Holy Name Thank you heavenly Father . None of these diseases ...Deutomony 28 ..Psalm 91

Twila, I am sorry to hear about your sister-in-law. It's hard facing these kinds of trials. And for whatever fight you are fighting, I pray you would feel God's presence to give you strength and peace.

By the stripes of Jesus, your friend was already healed. She needs to believe it in order to recieve it.

She need to speak this verse Isaiah 53:5 to herself everyday till she starts believing it with all her heart.

My late fiance who was of very strong faith and wanted to become a preacher believed that God was going to heal him even up to his very last breath.. He suffered immensely but I believe he was spiritually healed.. Like him and I would always say, "it's not about the flesh but all about the spirit".. My late fiance also had prophetic insight prior that he was leaving due to words from the Holy Spirit and also due to dreams.. He had this verse in his mind for a few months before he went home; "And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened" - Matthew 24:22 ..
