He was taking care of me, even when I felt alone...

One year ago my husband was notified that he had prostate cancer and surgery immediately followed.  During that same month I went for an ultrasound and discovered I had cysts on my ovaries.  For one year I worried that it was moving  towards cancer.

In January, Pastor Trevor Meier spoke a word of knowledge that really impacted me.   It was a word for someone who had pain in the lower abdomen.  Fatigue and thyroid problems accompanied the symptoms.  Two ladies prayed for me that night and asked for complete healing.  Last week my ultra sound showed it disappeared.

The fact that God identified my symptoms so precisely was more important than the results I received.  He was taking care of me, even when I felt alone with my anxieties.

Sincerely

After examining the x-rays 18 times the doctor was in shock and disbelief...

 On January 6, 2009 at 4:45pm, I was in a truck pedestrian accident where I was the pedestrian.  I fell on some ice in a cross walk with the right of way, and being on the ground the driver of a truck did not see me and proceeded to drive through the interesction and drove up on my back and had me pinned to the ground. 
While I was on the ground stuck and with no way out I cried out to God asking for HELP!  You know in the Bible where it says, "Ask, and believe in faith and you shall recieve!" (Matt 7:7a-8a)  In less than a minute I had three witnesses stop their vehicles and run over to help me.
After (the truck) rolled off of me, I was full of adrenaline and was thankful to be alive, all I wanted to do was go home.  One of the witnesses called for an ambulance and in less then 10 minutes I was strapped up and on my way to the hospital.
While in the ambulance I was told by the ambulance attendant, that if the truck driver would have gone another two inches she would have broken my spine and pelvis making it so I could not ever walk again, or she could have killed me.  Praise the Lord that neither happened!!!!
I left the hospital the next morning at 1 AM with a broken right arm (which I was told would need surgery), two broken ribs on my left side and two banged up knees.
At home, I decided that I was going to be ok and make it through this horrific event.  I was able to get on Facebook later on in the day on January 7th, where I sent out a small prayer request to all my prayer warriors, asking for God to heal my ribs, arm and knees.  After a couple of days I felt God working on my ribs, knees and healing my arm.
I went to see the orthopedic surgeon on January 14th as scheduled from the hospital.  After examining the x-rays 18 times the doctor was in shock and disbelief.  My arm was not broken and my ribs were healed.  Hallelujah!  We serve a Mighty God!
 
God has used my accident to also help me witness to people that need Jesus!  I know that God did not cause the accident, but I do know that God is using my accident to bring the unsaved to Salvation!  Amen.
 
For his Glory!

Touched by the power of God...

Many years ago when I was a young child I had injured my arms. My mother was washing clothes at the time and I thought that I would be helpful. Mom went to answer the phone and I started to put the clothes through the wringers on the washer machine. You see it was one of the old fashion kind. Well when I started to put the clothes through the wringers my hands went through the wringer and my arms when through the as well. My muscles in my arms were damaged. I had my arms both wrapped up and put into a sling.  I could not do anything for awhile my family had to do everything for me.  When I was younger the pain was not that bad, but the older I got the pain in my arm became more painful. I had a very hard time to hold things; I couldn't open up a jar hold a child in my arms with fear of dropping them and even the simple thing like brushing my hair. I would lie in bed with my arms straight up in the air and rub them until I would fall asleep. I also could not hold my arms up too long to worship the Lord.

On one (recent) Sunday evening you had spoken that someone had a very painful left arm and it has been painful for years. I thought you were talking about me. My left arm was a little sore that night, but my right arm was very painful. I thought! GOD if you can heal the left arm you can heal the right arm. Then you had people line up in a prayer line. I went into the line and as I went through I felt someone touch me and the warmth just flowed though my arms. I knew at that moment that I was touched by the power of God. Like that song says, "He touched me and made me whole". I  knew things were different. Now I can hold my arms up and Praise the Lord.  I can hold my grand babies without the fear of dropping them, open a jar. I have not had to rub my arms nor hold them in the air to help me sleep.

The Lord touched me.  I thank him daily for what he has done for me.  God is good to his people. 
 
May God bless you and your ministry,

I knew I needed to be at be*yond tonight.

Sunday Jan 18, 2009

During the last part of the worship service, the Pastor was led to ask, “Is there a Valerie here?  No-one responded.  Then again he asked, “Does anyone here know a Val?”  My husband nudged me and said, “Your friend!”.  Pastor invited me to come forward and I shared the burden’s that are on my friend Val.  I stood in proxy for her and we prayed.  Pastor laid his hand on my head.  I felt very light and remembered thinking, “Please don’t let me fall down.”  (I am a little skeptical about that, especially in front of 500 people.)  Well, I did get slain in the spirit.  I was down for about 20 minutes.  During that time I had one arm raised for the whole time.  The same arm that I had 14 lymph nodes taken out due to breast cancer surgery.  I have a hard time keeping that arm up for 2 minutes let alone 20!  I got up feeling refreshed.

            I called Val when I got home.  She said that Saturday night and Sunday morning was “the worst ever”.  She was in tears.  I told her what had happened.  Her response was “Wow, Praise God!”.  I told her she was going to be lifted  up.  I talked with her Monday morning and she was high in the Lord.

            I’m still in awe about this.  All I can say when the Spirit of the Lord moves, He moves!  Nothing is impossible.

The cancer was all but gone...

Five years ago I was diagnosed with cancer and underwent surgery to remove it.  Two weeks ago I went to see my oncologist.  They took a biopsy of a new growth and decided that I would need to undergo surgery again followed by many rounds of chemotherapy.  I was devastated by the news.  My wife and I decided we would pray and ask everyone that we know at Calvary Temple and other Christian friends to pray.  I went in to see my doctor today to find out how they planned to do the surgery and chemotherapy.  We met with the doctor's assistant who gave us lots more information about what to expect.  Then he went to speak with the doctor.  The doctor came to see us 30 minutes later and shared some exciting news.  The cancer was all but gone!  Nothing left but the minutest trace which he said is perfectly normal for someone like me!  I do not need surgery, I do not need chemotherapy or treatment of any kind!  Praise the Lord!  Thank you Jesus!  My God is good!
