CANCER-FREE AND OUT OF PAIN ~ YAY!!!!

Kimber Cummings 

I have to share this amazing testimony! My mom had called me recently to pray for her friend in California, Alma, who had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She has undergone surgery and treatment, but was finally determined to be terminal. She had to be placed back in the hospital to try to manage her pain this week, but nothing they did was even touching it...excruciating! 

I spoke with mom this morning and she just asked that I pray that the pain stop. However, I began to pray and thank Daddy God that He, the God of peace, swiftly crush this cancer under His feet and set Alma free from the cancer and the pain. Just an hour or so ago, mom called me to report that the pain had completely stopped and the doctors ran more tests and found NO CANCER AT ALL!!!!! 

Mom also said that she had been watching a program last night and some unknown minister was praying for people and said that God was going to begin to heal cancer. Mom stood in prayer for Alma last night and today she is CANCER-FREE AND OUT OF PAIN ~ YAY!!!!! I pray the same prayer for Kate too ~ Yes and Amen!!!!!

Sometimes a "non-event" can change your life. Be Blessed!

Today, I woke up with the thought that today was a "non-event" day.  I shared the thought with my wife as i prepared to go to a meeting planned that would likely impact my life in a significant way.  The meeting never happened and a "non-event" was created.

How often are you disappointed in life because an expected event does not happen? Supposing you are expecting to close the business deal of a life time or maybe you are expecting to meet someone who may prove out to be a life partner and the event never happens.  The "non-event" creates opportunity for great disappointment, right? But should it really?

Disappointment is natural because all we see is the past and today's "non-event".  The future is elusive and we so want to change the future in our favor.  If the "non-event" took form and created the planned event, the future imagined would be blessed and bright.  Yet today is a "non-event".  What shall i do?  What shall you do?

I've developed a bit of a different realism to life.  I look at the Biblical concept that all things work together for the good of those that love the Lord.  I bank on that principle.  I then also imagine that the evil ones that lurk about are not very bright, but great at following patterns and getting in the middle of the normal flow of life.  So it works like this in my imagination....

I drive to work the same way every day.  The evil ones make note of that.  Some day, they will craft an event on my way to work that will destroy me in some way.  Possibly, a fatal auto accident or whatever can create hell in my life.  God sees the plans of the evil one and much to my surprise, I have a flat tire in my driveway.  My schedule changes and the planned event by the evil one becomes a "non-event" and God's promises are fulfilled.  Pretty cool, right?

The trick in living life to the fullest is to recognize the "non-events" or the "events" that create the "non-events" as a blessing even when it does not seem like it.  When the tire is flat... don't cuss it.  Praise it for the "non-event" created and the evil one kicked in the teeth, one more time...  It may be, the flat tire has prevented certain catastrophe in your life.

In all things give thanks... and even give thanks for the things that never happen.

I look forward to the day when I am not amazed by miracles.

Jim Taylor 

June 7 at 8:49am Report

Archie .. The Iris Regional Conference (June 2 - June 5) was marked by the miraculous. Held in the village of Mieze, over 2500 people attended it .. many from the remote bush around the area.

During the Conference a little girl of about 8 months was brought by her mother. The girl had no pupils .. her eyes were just white orbs. As she was prayed for the pupils formed in her eyes and she began to see for the first time in her life!

Another notable miracle was a young boy of about 4 years of age who was born crippled and had never walked. He not only got up on his own, but also walked and ran.

Many people testified to healing from all types of illness. Many many gave their lives to Jesus as the Holy Spirit moved in the meetings.

The last day of the meeting, bread was being passed out for breakfast. There were only 1500 bread rolls but there were at least 2500 people standing in line to receive bread!

Some of the leaders were worried, fearing anger from people who would be turned away hungry. But Pastor Juma (District Pastor from Mieze) said, "Pray and give them bread."

And the bread did not run out until every person had been fed!

This is the 4th time in 5 years that food has been multiplied at Mieze. 

God is still at work in the earth!

Blessings

Jim
