On the morning of February 5, 2010, as I entered the operating room, I reminded the doctor that God was the Chief Surgeon, and of her position as the instrument being used by God to perfect His glory. I then congratulated all of the attendants for being chosen to be on God’s Team. As I prayed before going under the anesthesia, I heard my surgeon tell everyone to wait until I finished praying.
In the recovery room, after 13 ½ hours of surgery, I understand that the first words heard from my lips were: “I’m cancer-free, with His stripes, I am healed!” This declaration was made by my lips from my heart with the belief that Jesus asked the young boy’s father, “If thou canst believe, all things are possible!” “I BELIEVE, LORD JESUS, I BELIEVE!”
My 18-day hospital stay was originally scheduled to be three to five days. Each morning a score of doctors and students would come into my room to check on me. The plastic surgeon’s beautiful work of art was on display. Everyone came by to exclaim over the exceptional job. God never allowed me to look at the finished work of art. I realize now why this was the case. There was a journey that these new beautiful breasts had to go through. I remember looking forward to going home, but all of a sudden night fevers became the norm. The fevers were signs of an infection somewhere. The doctors anxiously surrounded my bedside scurrying around me to examine the breasts. I remember saying to them, “Didn’t I tell you that I asked God to be in charge? If He is allowing this, then he has a reason.” I remember so clearly after a few days of going through the fevers, the head of infectious diseases came into my room. When I asked him who he might be, he stated boldly, “I’m the one who’s going to cure whatever it is that you’re going through.” I looked at him sadly, because I knew that he was not one that was called to be on “God’s Team” in my healing.
God never allowed me to respond to his comment. In fact, here is where my assignment began to unfold.
This doctor began to prescribe different types of antibiotics to fight off the infection that baffled the medical teams. The IV continuously would disconnect itself from the tube. I now recognize the purpose that God had for me did not include the antibiotics fighting off the infection until God’s purpose for it had been revealed.
My surgeon was about to go on vacation, but she did not want to leave until my situation had cleared up. She came and sat by my bedside and said, “We don’t know what it is happening right now. All we know is that your white blood count went from 10,000 to 24,000 to 31,000. Your white blood count has your own immune system in overdrive, and your own immune system is cleaning up any cancer in your body.” Wow, what an astounding revelation!

About the Book
“Choose ye this day whom ye will serve!” We can choose to serve fear or to serve God by having faith in Him. When we begin to worry, we allow doubt to overtake us. Doubt leads to fear, and at this point, we leave the natural fear and embrace the spirit of fear that God has not given us. God has given us His Word, which promises life. He has given us direction in His Word that assures us that He desires for us to be in good health (3 John 1:2); He wants us to trust Him and not doubt; He told us, “If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
Therefore, instead of embracing fear and putting our faith in the situation the “crippler” has presented us, we need to put our faith and reverence in the God who can heal any situation the crippler has been allowed to bring our way. God suggested that His beloved servant, Job, be tested. Satan needs God’s permission to confront God’s children. The reality is God’s children have the power to take authority over the hands of the enemy, and if he is allowed to touch God’s people, he definitely does not have permission to touch our souls.About the Author
