Cancer is a feared devil these days. And that fear feeds it. Fear is faith in the devil. It's best to know what God is capable of, through testimonies, rather than play catch up when your body "needs" it most. Testimonies bring the reality close to home, God becomes tangible. Many reject Him in lieu of the fact that we confine testimonies to our thoughts, rather than to the megaphones.
The Best Of: Round One - Cancer vs. Christ
My father-in-law, Kermit, was attending a wedding. The bride’s mother, riddled with terminal cancer, wasn’t expected to live to the original wedding date, so the wedding party expedited the wedding by a few months. Kermit, in the corner of the room, was praying in the Spirit and heard the Lord speak.
“Ask her this question,” the Lord said, referring to the mother. A sea of people had engulfed the mother as Kermit obeyed and moved forward. Suddenly, the crowd left to have their picture made, leaving only Kermit and the mother of the bride.
“I know we’ve only met once,” Kermit began, “but I believe the Lord wants me to ask you this question: Did you honor your father and mother?”
The woman attempted to gain a better understanding of what it was to honor her parents.
“You may not have always done exactly what they said, but did you honor and recognize them as the parents God put in your life?” Kermit asked.
“Of course I did,” she responded.
“Well that is the first commandment with a promise. Honor your father and mother and your days shall be long on the earth.” Kermit prayed over her and released God's kingdom. Thirty seconds later, the prayer was over, and they parted ways. Before they said goodbye to one another, Kermit told her he believed the doctors would find no cancer at her next checkup.
After the married couple came back from their honeymoon, Kermit received a call from the groom. After conversing about the honeymoon, Kermit proceeded to ask about the mother of the bride.
“She wants to tell you!” he exclaimed, handing the phone to his wife. Kermit, unsure of the news he was about to hear, continued to listen.
“My mother went to the doctor for her checkup,” she started. “They did one scan. After observing the results, the doctors insisted they take another scan…” Kermit knew exactly where this was going! “My mother was completely healed of any and all cancer in her body! It's a miracle!” she rejoiced.
The Word of God is a promise. Faith stands on the promises of God. Faith with action is compassion and allows the tangible love of God to manifest in miracles.
