None of us expects to hear the "C" word from our doctor, however a few months ago my husband experienced a UT Infection that would not go away or respond to antibiotics of any kind. His doctor ordered a C/T Scan and found a Tumor in his Bladder, other tests revealed it to be a Cancerous A Type Tumor.
He had surgery to remove the Tumor, however he has to have another surgery because they need to get muscle tissue samples to make sure it is confined to the bladder and has not spread outside to other parts of his body.
As a Messianic/Christian believer who teaches and believes in Divine healing, this became a test of whether we would stand on the Word or cave into doom and gloom. Needless to say it was a No Brainer, the Word is true and we are standing on His Word , no matter what the diagnosis is for total healing in Yeshua's Name.
We went through the emotional cycle of fear, tears, worry and the what "If's". Also the thoughts of the enormous financial cost of treatment! But mainly the realization of loosing someone you love and the awful possibility of them no longer being by your side. All these thoughts came flooding through our minds and even out of our mouths, however we always ended it with, God is our Healer, Provider and Deliverer. we will trust Him no matter what. Let God be true and the circumstances a lie.
As an Ordained Rabbi and my husband who is an Ordained Minister we are practicing what we Teach and Preach. God is our Healer! The only way to victory is via prayer and The Word. We even told the doctor that we are trusting God and that we will do what needs to be done, but ultimately the victory is our trust in His Word.
I will be blogging about our journey in the hopes of encouraging others who are facing life threatening illness, along with encouragement in the Word to bring us through this test.
I would like to recommend some books that have been a help to us:
None of These Diseases - McMillen
A More Excellent Way - Henry W. Wright
Healing Our Covenant of Blessing - Rabbin Deborah Brandt
Shalom In Yeshua
Rabbin Deborah Brandt
Minister Scott Brandt
Beautifully written Deb, very heartfelt, emotional, and personal. I think writing to let others know what you are going through, helps all to understand this type of cancer. I love you both, and I'm there for you always. BIG HUGS and LOVE
