SICKNESS ... BE GONE

Greetings, All.  Hope everyone had a wonderful time of thanking and giving.


I want to share with you how God had proven His power over sickness and grace over my family for the many many times.


Nov-23: Through Mammography and ultrasound, the doctor found "something" he's concerned of in my sister's breasts.


Nov-24: Praise the LORD, the "thing" is not tumor.  However, it's not benign either.  Is it cancer then?


Nov-25Second opinion told my sister to still do biopsy asap because the "thing" was not there 2 years prior.


Nov-29: MRI's done on my sister.


Nov-30: The MRI result found 7 bumps in her breasts, 2 in her ovary, and 2 on her liver.  Praise the Lord, only one of them that the doctor thought to be cancerous.  The one in her breast.


Dec-1: Biopsy's performed on that one bump.


Dec-2: Praise the LORD that the removed bump is NOT cancerous.  The doctor, however, indicated that my sister is still at a high risk of getting cancer and will need to be under close and regular cancer monitoring going forward.


My family in Indonesia had a way to handling the situation.  Not the kind of way that my sister would appreciate.  So my sister resorted to a different way of finding her strength and confidence.  A way that she's never asked for before.  That is through the prayer support.  For I believe in the power of prayer, joined by a dozen ladies in California, we prayed together at the same time for my sister as she's going through the different procedures in Asia.


And this is a message my sister posted on her social networking profile this morning:




I say, it deserves an AMEN.  Don't you think so?  The power of prayer is so mighty and powerful.  My God is bigger than our sickness and difficulties.  My God - not other worldly power - holds each of our destiny.  Where did we find our confidence?  In God's grace and power!


2 Corinthians 12: 9 - 10

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."  Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.  That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.  For when I am weak, then I am strong.


Believe in the power of prayer.  Believe that God hears your prayer.  Have prayer requests?  Email them my way.  :-)


May this be a blessing!
