I have walked through some very deep waters and Jesus walked all the way with me and held my hand.
He shielded my body many times through this trial.
Thirteen years ago I started coughing and thought I had allergies due to the fall season.
I took several prescriptions of antibiotics and cough medicine. Nothing changed. It was getting close to Thanksgiving and I though after Thanksgiving I will go to the doctor for a chest Xray. I made it through Thanksgiving and thought I will wait till after Christmas and then I will go to the doctor. I didn't want my children and grandchildren to have a bad Christmas.
I was struggling to get through all that I had to do for Christmas. I would go shopping and have to come home and go back another day because of my breathing and coughing. I felt really bad. I finally made it through Christmas and thought I will be all right I will just wait another week or two.
One Sunday night I was in so much pain in my left chest that I went to the emergency room.
A chest Xray was was done and the doctor called me over to the view box and showed me a coin lesion in the upper left side of my lung.
I am a nurse and I knew coin lesions were almost always cancer. I tried to joke with the doctor about it and he was very serious about me going to my surgeon the next day. He called my home the next day to be sure I had an appointment.
I went to my surgeons office and he said this doesn't look good we need to do a biopsy. he scheduled the biopsy and that was done a few days later. The report on the biopsy was not conclusive . He said we need to go to surgery right away.
I went to surgery a few days later. I was numb and in total denial. I had worked as my surgeons nurse for several years and I trusted him to take care of me.
I prayed and had all of my church family pray for me and I did everything the Bible said to do for my healing. I believed healing was for me and I believed the word of God. Satan believes it too.
I woke up a month after surgery and thinking I had surgery the day before. Following surgery I had three blood clots that went through my heart and one to the right lung and one to my brain. I was on life support and my family was called in three times and told I was dying. The doctors told my family if I lived I would be a vegetable. They said there was no hopes for me.
While I was in the coma I was with Jesus. I don't know if it was the entire time or not. I was in a room with a lot of people and Jesus would come to the room and say let's go. We would be there as, soon as, the words came out. You didn't talk with your mouth but with your mind and you knew everything.
Jesus took me to what looked like an interstate bridge. He told me to stand in a hollowed out place under the bridge to the back of him. I was only a few steps from him. He was looking down the highway and I stepped out and looked over his shoulder. There was a black and I mean very black tornado coming down the highway. It was touching the concrete every now and then and sparks were flying out to each side. I knew it was death and coming after me. Jesus just stood and when it got to the bridge it popped over the bridge. I knew that it had to go through Jesus to get to me because we are his. He shielded me completely.
I was back in the room with lots of people and Jesus came for me and said let's go. We were at a field of flowers and hundred's of little children. There was a warm breeze blowing and there was a slight hill where the children were playing and rolling around in the flowers and laughing. Jesus was laughing and I was laughing and the children were running to us . Jesus said Frances when you put my word in their hearts you put a bridge of safety over them.
I had taught in children church and use to get fussy sometimes about young mothers not teaching their children. Jesus knew that .LOL I said I will put your word in their hearts Lord and I won't be fussy any more.
The next time, we went to a beautiful neighborhood with pretty homes. We were walking down the street and it was late afternoon about sunset. Jesus said come on lets go in this house. The door was open and we walked in. There were small snakes hanging under their tables and chairs in the living room and I said Lord I don't want to go in there, "he said it is ok.". I knew right away that it was demons and they had no power over us. There were people standing around the dining room table eating finger foods and talking to each other. They didn't know we were there. He said they say they have everything and don't need me. he said I want you to tell them about me. I said I will Lord.
The next time we went to a stream of water. Jesus was sitting back a little further back from the water than I was. The water was crystal clear and beautiful. There were trees with moss hanging from them across the way. There was a small falls a short distance from us. I started picking up the stones in the water .They were absolutely beautiful and they were all different. I would show each one to Jesus and I would say' "Lord these are so.. beautiful ", He would say, "Yes, they are beautiful. They were so specially made and they represented us the living stones. I would toss them back into the stream. This was a misty place and it was healing waters that went by the throne of God. I knew that it went to the throne of God but the trees across the way shielded where it was going. I believe this was the crystal sea.
I remember thinking that I had always known Jesus and thought of the scripture about sticking closer than a brother. I looked at my leg and thought if I pull up the skin on my leg it would be him. I had always known him and he had always know me. He was absolutely wonderful. He was total love. I can see him now as, I speak about this.
We talked about a lot of things. He told me to tell people about him and he would do all of the work. I said" Lord do you mean you will do all of the work and he said yes , I will do all of the work. I was relieved. LOL I had tried to save a few people myself.
I was convicted of what I had said about some sinners and Jesus said , "I made man in my very own image". I said Lord I won't ever do that again.
He had a white robe on and sandals. He was very good looking. "How wonderful he was and is ".
I woke up out of the coma and I couldn't breath very well. In fact, it was really bad.
I begged my doctor to let me go home and four days later I went home. I had to go every other day to the lab. for a bleeding and clotting time because of the blood clots. I went to the doctor to get started on radiation right away. I was scheduled for 34 treatments on the upper lung area. My entire lung had been removed but this was to kill cancer cells in that area. I had cancer all over the lung and it was in the lymph nodes and lymph nodes were teased off of the artery to my heart they had cancer cells.There were cancer cells in the lymphs on the esophagus.
I knew that man could heal me. I knew according to the reports that I didn't stand a chance unless God healed me.
The day I took my first treatment was dreadful. I knew I was going to be burned and it was an awful feeling. When I was flat on the table..I felt the spirit of the Lord all over me and I thanked him. He was shielding me.
I finished the 34 treatments and they were rough because of the spasms it cause in my esophagus.
Two week after finishing the radiation I started having severe pain in my lt. back near the kidney. I went back to the doctor and had a scan that showed an egg size tumor on the adrenal gland sitting on top of my kidney. The adrenal is the size of a butter bean . I had 14 very strong treatments on the adrenal. It didn't get rid of the tumor. It shrunk only slightly. When I had the scan on the adrenal they found multiple tumors on my liver.
My doctor walked me across the hall from her office to the doctor who would give me chemo. I was told I could go away for treatment or take it there. I was told I could take the kind that I would go to the hospital for or take chemo that wasn't quiet that harsh at the clinic. I chose the clinic. They started the next day. The first treatment was very strong and I had a break through with the vomiting. My medicine had to be adjusted. I am thankful that they have medicine now that works well for nausea.
I went for treatments three days in a row and it took most of the morning or afternoon to take the IV. About two weeks after every treatment I had to take two pints of blood. I was walking through some really deep and dangerous waters.
The day I was taken to the doctor that gave me the chemo. I was given three to six mo. to live. I had fluid collecting in the lining where my lung had been and I knew that was really bad. When they start drawing the fluid off , you usually don't live long.
I had been in severe pain while taking radiation for the adrenal I wouldn't let my doctor install a morphine pump. I took pain medicine by mouth. I had to take something every three to four hours night and day. My BP went out of sight because of the tumor on the adrenal. It was during this time that I came home and screamed and cried and prayed. I said "God I have believed your word and you haven't done anything for me". I cried till I was tired and said all right Lord. "Your word says I am healed so... from this moment on I am healed by the stripes of Jesus". From that moment in June I was healed by the stripes of Jesus. It wasn't easy for me I was Jaundice from the tumors on my liver.
The chemo was hard . You are given poison that pulls you down to where you have to fight with everything in you just to live. I felt like I was walking through the fire or literally hell fire. I could hardly walk. I refused to go to bed and I was suppose to be in my death bed. "I said no way Devil".
I was so.. weak that many days I could hold my Bible it was too heavy. I would stagger and go to the Christian book store and pick out healing scriptures in mini book. I could hold them. I was confessing and telling others I was healed by the stripes of Jesus. A shock would come on their face like you poor thing. I would tell them I knew they didn't believe me but it was true that they would see. I started going to ceramic classes and sitting with other women doing ceramics. I would tell them I was healed by the stripes of Jesus and they would say when are you going to stop Chemo. I would say I won't be going much longer. I was calling the things that were not as, though they were. I was speaking to the mountains in my life and casting them in the sea. The word says if you don't doubt in your heart you can have what you say. I bound stand and all of his demons from me.I fought him with the word of God. That is the only way you can run him off. When I was taking radiation I would wake up about 3:00 am night after night hearing you are going to die and I would jump up in the bed sweating and get out of the bed. My husband turned the Bible to "God didn't give me a spirit of fear but of power and love and a sound mind. " Those word send Satan flying. I was delivered from fear. I still quote those words at times. There is power in the words of God used by your mouth. We are in a war fare everyday. Fill yourself with the word of God. Take you position in God's army. You are overcomers through Christ. In Feb. a year from the time I had surgery, I went for a scan and was given a clean bill of health.
I was sitting in the waiting room that day waiting to see my doctor and there was a woman sitting across from me who had cancer that had spread to her liver. She had young children. I ministered to her and gave her some mini books with healing scriptures. The nurse called me back and I turned an looked back at her and said I don't care what they say back here "I am still healed by the stripes of Jesus. The nurses were all standing together and looking at me and being a nurse, I knew that usually meant bad news. I walked in to see my doctor and she said you are not going to believe this and I said yes, I would would you like my recipe? She smiled and said there is nothing in your body. I said "Praise the Lord"!!!!! She ask me to take tow more months of treatments just in case. I said yes, I will do that. I didn't know if I could take anymore but I made it. She let me go with out taking blood in the end because I wanted to build it back up on my own.
If you sit there you will die when something like this happens. Please don't wait until you are in a bad situation. Get Gods word in to you now. Learn who you are in Christ and don't let anyone beat you down with the gospel. The gospel is God's love story to you. He is complete love.
In the beginning of all of this I said, What have I done to cause this? it didn't matter .. Jesus took cancer to the cross for me and you and I was bearing a load that I didn't need to bear and I felt almost ashamed for allowing it to do to my body what it did. I could never do enough to be healed. Jesus did it and I received it by faith just like you receive everything from God. God Bless you,
