Today I want to give God all the glory and honour for what He has done in my life. On 7 July I went for a routine mammogram and the doctor found a malignant lump, now this was quite scary, as I have been remission for 7 years. However, to make matters worse, my husband was away from home on a retreat when i got the news. Naturally I was very fearful and depressed and could not stop crying. I begged God to take away this cup if it was His will to do so. I could not get myself to tell my husband, because I knew that he would want to give up his earnest search for answers from God to be with me and believe you me that was exactly what I wanted him to do as well. I also knew how important it was for us to take this step of obedience and so I relented and took refuge in God. Since then I went for more tests, which revealed mestastic nodules in my lungs. Fear set in and I thought that I was going to die, however, the Devil is a liar. I started looking up scriptures on healing and medidated on these everytime I became fearful and started doubting if God can really heal me. This weekend I was touched by God in a miraculous way and I believe that I have received complete healing. I was due to start Chemotherapy tomorrow, but have decided not to go, because I truly believe that according to 1 Peter 2:24 "Who His own self bore ours ins in His body on the tree, that we, being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes, we are healed" So I claim my healing in the name of Jesus. He is the God that Healeth me (Exodus 15:26) He forgives all my iniquities and heals all my diseases (Psalm 103:3)

Praise God

Ivy,

What a testiment of faith.


Mr 5:34
And He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction."

I will continue to lift you up!

Praise Him

Thank you

I have to just give another testimony, my youngest sister called me last night to wish me well with my chemo, when I told her that I was not going to go for chemo, and that I am putting my trust in the Lord and that I believe that He is the God that healeth me, she got very upset with me and told me that she and I will not see eye to eye on this. But I'm going to push through the crowd of unbelief, like the woman with the issue of blood and belief that by touching the hem of His garment I am healed. I don't believe that Christ died on the cross for nothing, I cannot just lie down and say sorry my dear Saviour, you took all my infirmities and bore on all my diseases on the cross of calvary, but it was not for me it was for somebody else. My God is still the miracle working God who parted the red sea, who led the Isrealites into the promised land, who told Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones. My God is still in healing business, because He is the same yesterday, today and forever and His word will not return void unto Him.

Ivy,

I thank God for you courage and trusting in The Lord. May the Lord continue to release his healing mercies. Your Body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, redeemed, cleansed, and sanctified, by the blood of Jesus.

Ivy,
You have the authority by the Holy Spirit to ask the Lord to free you from all illness. Your members, the part of your body, are instruments of righteousness, yeilded to God for His service and His Glory. The devil has no place in us, no power over us,all has been settle at the cross by the blood of the Lamb. We come to the Lord asking to be free from all unforgiveness also.

Scriptures to reflect on.

Col 1:22,22
21Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 22But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.

Rom. 5:3-5

3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Psalm 107 :20) 20 He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

Because of God's Word we become an overcomer AND IT's BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND BY THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY.

The Lord also gives abundant life. We receive that Life through his Word and it flows to every organ of our bodies bringing healing and health. John 10:10 10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 6:63 63The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.

I thank God for your spirit and trust in the Lord to take care of your trail, by his word and promise. I claim victory with you in prayer by faith! IN JESUS NAME! AMEN!

GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU!

Hi John

Apologies, for the late reply. Things have been hectic on my side, I have started a new job, and have not been on the internet. God has blessed me and my family in an amazing way. I will sign in from time to time.

Ivy

Praise God for you - I am praying with you that you get a miricle; just realize that it is possible (& I believe with all my heart) that medical science is a gift from God. I heard that there are the same amount of branches of medical science as there were stripes that Jesus took in the back (as you said, by his stripes we are healed)

Don't forget that one story that goes: There was a flood happening in a particular town, & there was a man in his front lawn with water up to his waist & a boat comes by, & the people in it say - "Get in!" & the man replies, "No thank you, God will save me!" Then later on, the water is up to his chest & another boat comes along & again the people inside the boat say to the man - "Get in, come on let us help you!" & the man replies: "No thank you, God will save me!". And then later on the flood continues to rise, so that the man is on the roof of his house with water up to his knees & a third boat comes by & the people inside tell him "Get in before you drown!" & the man replies "No, you go on your way & save someone else; because my God will save me!" So sure enough the man has water up to his neck & he is on the top of his chiminey, so he has nowhere left higher that he can go; & a helichopter flies overhead & someone yells out of it "Get in, take this rope, let us save you!" & the man, having full faith in God to save him, says; "No thank you, my God will save me!". So as you can guess, the man died. When he got to heaven, he asked God - "Why didn't you save me? I had full faith & confidence that you would!" & God in turn, replies: "My dear son, I sent 3 boats & a helichopter, what more do you want?"

I am by no means telling you to go to chemotherapy; but I am asking you to get on your knees & ask God for direction at this critical time in your life; as the scripture says in Prov 3:5-6 "5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

Some people say that God helps those that help themselves, but I learned that God helps whoever he wants to: Rom 9:16 says "So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.". So it is not of him that willeth (wants it) nor of him that runneth (works for it) but of the Lord who is the one who shows us mercy. I am praying that God shows himself merciful unto you & I bless you with the blessing that Aaron was supposed to bless the children of Isreal: Num 6:24-26 "24The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace." I pray that you recieve healing & instruction from our father - to either recieve a miraculous healing or to go to the doctor.

Ivy

Have you investigated natural healing by alternative drs and medicine? Maybe there are things that you can do in the natural such as eating certain foods that heal or supplements like herbs and abstaining from certain foods? In the old testament God said his people perish for a lack of knowledge.

Ivy & Grace and Faith!

I stand in agreement with both of you for God's intervention through the scriptures and the word and his healing mercies.Amen!

Dearest Ivy,
My husband and I are also believing that God has healed him; and, it is so important to follow the Lord's leading when you stand as you are. Some people we do not talk to about his condition because they want to speak doubt and not faith. If you have not yet had anointing and the prayer of faith prayed for you (James 5:13-15) you may want to so that you can know that you have fulfilled the Scriptural directives for healing. However, I know from many experiences that when Christ speaks His Word to us, we know that we know that we know...and, it is settled in our hearts and in heaven. I will join with the others in standing with you as we receive the manifestation in the flesh of your total and complete healing from all trace of cancer. My prayer for you today is this: Gracious and merciful Father God, our Precious Redeemer and Faithful Friend, We believe and trust in Your Word, and in the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the abundance of blessings You have granted us in Christ Jesus our Lord. We come with Ivy in accordance with Your Word, and we stand believing that by Your Stripes we are healed. We believe that You Yourself, bore our sicknesses and carried our diseases. We believe that You are the Sun of Righteousness with healing in Your wings. We believe that we will never again have to say we are ill. We believe that if we ask anything whatsoever in Jesus Mighty and Beautiful Name, believing that we receive, that we have whatsoever we ask. We believe that where two or more agree concerning any matter on this earth, that You will hear from heaven, and it will be done for us. We believe that we can ask that Your Will be done on this earth exactly as it is done in heaven, because our Lord Jesus told us to pray this way. And, so Father, we join with Ivy and our many brothers and sisters in Christ calling You to remembrance; lifting Your very Words before You and asking for her utter and complete healing, without a trace of any cancer or damage. Lord, we thank you for Your promises whereby we are participants in Your very Divine Nature: a nature that is complete and whole, and lacking nothing. We thank You for Ivy's health and for her witness to the mercy and faithfulness and power of You, Almighty God. We worship You, Lord, and we praise Your Holy Name. We look forward to the good report from the doctors that Ivy is indeed made whole by the power of our God! Grant Ivy strength, and joy, O Lord. Grant Your body renewed hope as we put our trust in You. We know that You have never failed us; and, we wait upon You now knowing You have heard and have answered our requests! Trustworthy is our God!
