Stage III Breast Cancer Healed!

HealedA First-Year Rhema Student Ministers Healing on Her Job

Heather,

I met you last week while you were working. When I walked into the store, I was in a total deep creek of depression and really was ready to die. I came into the store to get my makeup done at the leading of my husband. He wanted me to feel better about myself. When no one was available to do my makeup, that feeling of despair increased, and I had determined in my heart to die. The moment I thought that and was ready to leave, you stepped in front of me and with your precious smile offered to do my makeup. I know I said it was allergies but I was tearing up! You were so kind, friendly, and sincere. I could tell in the first few moments of sitting with you that I had come to that store for a certain reason. As you did my makeup, I briefly shared with you that I was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer three weeks ago. My husband and I are Christians, but when you get a death sentence it tends to change a few things.

Anyway, I wanted to write to tell you thank you! The moment I shared I had cancer, I saw your face and heart change—but it wasn’t like most people. You smiled and said very casually, as if it was a deeply-woven belief within your heart, “Nothing is impossible with God.”

After I finished telling you my sad story, you asked if I believed God wanted me to be healthy. I was stunned but shook my head yes, and then you gently laid both hands on my head and quietly but firmly said, “I command your body to line up with what the Word of God says and be made whole in Jesus’ Name!” I didn’t tell you then because I honestly didn’t know what was happening, but as soon as you said the Name of Jesus I felt a warm, tingling sensation begin in my head where your hands were, and it flowed all over my body. The last words you said to me when I was leaving penetrated my heart. All you said was, “Let it be according to your faith.” That hit me hard, so I went home and told my husband what had happened, and for the first time we grabbed hands and agreed in prayer together over my healing.

I went to the doctor on Monday for what was supposed to be my first radiation appointment. Before the doctor began my radiation, he wanted to run another test to see how much the cancer had spread. He did his routine tests, then came back in and said he was taking me in to do more—all the while never telling us what was happening. After about an hour and a half, the doctor called us into his office and sat us down to talk. I’ll never forget his words. He said, “I cannot explain it and I don’t know what’s happening, but we can’t find any of the cancer cells we diagnosed you with in your body.” I knew right then that God had provided my healing, “according to my faith!”

You will never know how appreciative I am of your boldness to speak the Word of God, even while you were at work. You are definitely being taught practical and incredible truths at Rhema.

With deepest respect,

Etta
