Healing testimony

Dear Pastor Jerry,
Here is our progress report for my husband, Dan…
On March 1, 2010 my husband was diagnosed with a UT3 cancerous tumor in his rectum.  The recommendation was surgery to remove the rectum, followed by radiation and chemo.   We had already seen so many healings that we were both convinced that there was a better way.   To make this short, he had alternative treatments along with prayer.  Eventually he had surgery to only remove the tumor and not the entire organ.    Surgery went fine, however he developed staff infection that ended in the doctors going back in to deal with the staff.  Subsequently, a few months later the tumor came back and spread to the liver in 5 places.
After nearly 3 years the disease continued to advance and in November of 2012 my husband was only given a few days to a couple weeks to live, given enough morphine to kill an elephant , and sent home to die.  We continued to go to the Christian healing rooms where learned to renew our minds daily with healing scripture declarations.  After 12 weeks there was little to no visible progress.  We were missing something.
On February 14, 2013 I contacted Pastor Jerry to see if he would come and help us, and he agreed. Arriving at midnight 2 days later after driving through a snow storm here in Michigan he immediately began ministering to me until 2am.  My husband was on heavy pain medication and slept through Sunday.  That night he began to bleed out until 5am the next morning.  He told Jerry and I that he almost died, and had to make a choice to live.  Pastor worked with my husband on and off that day and prayed with him.  The next day Jerry left for home … And again drove through another Winter storm here in Michigan!
Sometime on Monday as I was washing my husband, I watched as a tumor the size of a golf ball deflated in a matter of seconds after I spoke to it.  I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, so I pressed on it and asked if it hurt him.  He said “no”!  The tumor was gone!  Jesus had “taken away” the tumor.  Since then his bowel has begun to function normally.
Dan’s body is still in process in terms of healing.  He has been on morphine for 3 months and had his last dose Sunday night.  That was 5 days ago and there haven’t been any withdrawal symptoms nor any pain.  Having suffered with sciatica for 40 years, that too is healed.  His abdomen that has been so swollen from the lesions on his liver has begun to deflate as well.  We continue to speak to his liver and blood to be healed.
We continue to declare the Word of God continuously throughout the day to keep our minds renewed so we don’t become sidetracked by the symptoms.  We recognize them as “lying symptoms” because healing was provided 2,000 years ago with Jesus’ own body and blood.
Pastor Jerry’s obedience to the call, to help us, brought the breakthrough we had been seeking.  I thank God for his willingness to lay down his life in order to join faith with us and release the authority and power of God to rid Dan of this disease and it’s symptoms.  I know there is more to come!
I’ve written this testimony to encourage others who are battling disease and pain.. To let you know that God is faithful to perform His Word… ONLY HIS WORD…. And that for those who are the caregivers, I understand your journey all too well.  It can be demanding and exhausting.  God can sustain you too if you speak His Word over your life.  Ask for help, take time out to rest and realize that you are there to encourage… Not bear the responsibility for their choices or their life.
God will meet you where you are and bring you through…if you Let Him.

BE NOT AFRAID, ONLY BELIEVE

What better way could there be possibly be to start a teaching than with God’s Word?  There is an account in Mark chapter five of a lady being healed, and a little girl raised from the dead by Jesus.  Is raising the dead harder than healing the sick?  Apparently Jesus didn’t think so.  Let’s read the account: Continue Reading »

JESUS IS THE CURE

For what purpose was Jesus born, have you given much thought to that?  It was so the love of the heavenly Father might be made clearly evident unto mankind, to re-establish the fellowship that Adam and Eve had with Him before sin came into the world.  We can only imagine what life was like for them before the devil talked them into disobeying God. But we do know that God wants that wonderful life restored to man.  Total restoration, total healing; spirit, soul and body. Jesus is the cure for sin and everything it brought. Continue Reading »

THE SCARS ARE PROOF

As a kid growing up, I embarked on quite a few adventures.  At least they were adventures to me, like the time when I rode a sled down the steep side of a gravel pit one winter.  Several of us thought it would be fun to ride our sled down the steep embankment and see how fast and how far we could go.  Well, there were a few “whoop-de-doos” along the way down where I got airborne, and landed so forcefully it flattened the runners on my sled, and so the sled stayed there and I continued down without it.  I got a pretty good bump on my head which remains to this day.

DELIVER YOURSELF FROM THE UNGODLY

As per Matthew 8:28-33, when the people of the country of the Gadarenes begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, he left, even though he had the power to stay. Those people were ok with devils living among them but they didn’t want God’s presence there. So our leaders have heeded wicked people who hate God, and they have demanded God leave our country. So He has.
But those wicked and perverted people DO NOT represent MY choice. I ask God to be LORD over me and all mine. Regardless of what others do, as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. I pray you will determine to seek and serve God. No matter what.
The LORD will take care of His own, and send His Word to bless them.
Do you not think when the presence of God leaves a place that evil does not move in and take over? Why do you think we are seeing so many disasters in our weather and disasters throughout the land? It is because we’ve chosen evil over good and God has heeded our request for Him to leave. But there is a way out of all this evil. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says,
If my people, †which are called by my name, shall rhumble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; sthen will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

BLESSING GOD, YET CURSING YOUR NEIGHBOR?

While I’m not exactly known for being subtle in ministering to others, I am sensitive to their needs. After all, what good does it do to sugar-coat unacceptable behavior?  It only shows approval and makes excuses for and enables it, so it just continues to go on.  Well, we want people to know beyond any shadow of a doubt that we are Christians, right?  Then how will the world be able to recognize us; by our bumper sticker?  How about our Bible bag?  Maybe it’s by our “church face”?  More importantly, how will God be able to recognize His own when it’s time for Him to take them home?  Maybe we need to qualify “His own”.

NO GRAY AREAS

God makes His Word very clear to us, so clear that we have to deliberately work at it to misunderstand.  It could be said the LORD sees only black and white, with no shades of gray.  His promises are clearly spelled out, as well as the conditions attached to them, yet people tell me all the time that they just don’t know for sure, saying, “How can I know for sure what God’s will is?” Continue Reading »
