When I saw this quote, I knew that I had to write about this and I looked all over for a picture that captured the very essence of this statement. I found it. Look at the face of the woman in this picture, she is at peace, and confident in her healing. Today I went for my first week post- operation appointment, to meet up with my surgeon to discuss his findings during surgery. When I walked in to the clinic, I was met by my exercise coordinator, who ran up and gave me a huge hug and said, "wow, you look phenomenal!" As I proceeded to the check-in desk, I was met with my nurse, who came out and gave me a big hug. Still feeling sore, I reached over and accepted the hug, when she whispered in my ear," You are such an inspiration." All through out this process, I have had a variety of people tell me that I inspired them, but this experience was altogether different. When I saw my oncologist and surgeon, both of them were so excited to tell me the news, "You have no more cancer in your body, you are 100% healed of cancer!!" While they were scratching their heads, I was onto the next thing, interceding for those around me. I had already prayed, expected God to heal, praised Him for my healing, received it and moved forward in my healing. When this process first began, I prayed that others would be healed as a result of my experience and that God's name would be glorified. Well look everyone, it has happened, exactly as I prayed it! God heard my prayers and honored them based on my faith. Now that He has brought me through this process, I can trust that He can handle anything in life that I am faced with. The truth of the matter is that my healing was there all along. God provided me with healing power when He died on the cross, it was up to me to apply that power to my life. I'll tell you a secret, I looked up every scripture in the bible about healing and I spent the first month of my diagnosis, allowing that to consume my mind. The irony of it, was that the same scriptures that administered healing in my life from cancer, healed the various "life circumstances" that my friends and family were experiencing. So we all got healed, for the price of one! Understand that there is nothing too hard for God, but He wants to use you to not only heal yourself but others that come into contact with you, for the glory of His name. Heal yourself.....by adopting the word of God as the focal point of your perspective, speaking the word over your life, and expecting your healing by walking in your healing. I was confident that I could heal myself by the power of God, and I was right. I am healed and you can be too, remember whatever situation that threatens your well being is "cancer" waiting to erode you from the inside out. It is up to you to do "self- examinations," and identify the cause and effects of the defeated areas of your life. It is in these areas that you will experience the true power of healing. Heal your relationship with God, your family and friends, your marriage, your finances, your heart, feelings and emotions, your body and yourself......It is this healing power that has the ability to touch the lives of those around you and prepare you for great exploits!
