Fear is the Enemy

It has been awhile since I have written. A lot has happened and it will take a couple of Posts to get you all caught up. The last several weeks have been difficult. Receiving a cancer diagnosis is a devastating emotional trauma. I will never forget the day I received the phone call from the Radiologists telling me the pathology report showed malignancy. I remember feeling faint and my mind traveling fast with many thoughts. Over the years I have known so many who fought the "disease" and lost. I remembered the devastation of the treatment and the uncertainty in their lives. Martin and I stood by the bedside of those who did everything the doctors wanted them to do and they were dying anyway. ...some of them from the treatment and not the disease. And here I was ~ facing a diagnosis that was the most dreaded.

Believing in the mind/body conncection I knew I needed to remain positive and trust in my Heavenly Father each step of the way. But that is easier said than done sometimes!

So I have experienced the typical major emotions ~ panic, shock, rage, hopeless resignation, numbing despair and a sense of isolation. But I think the overwhelming feeling of fear is what I really struggled with. I did quite well until I was tired and then fear would take over. And yet, I knew that "fear" did not come from my Creator/Healer. God's way is not one of fear. Fear only comes from the enemy. It was during those times I would pray and rebuke the enemy in Jesus' name. God always gave me peace during those times.

So I have struggled these last couple of weeks. I have to admit it is difficult going against the main medical pathway. And yet that was not an option for me. Instead of destroying my immune system through surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and Tamoxifen (or other) I knew I wanted to do all I could to boost my immune system and allow God, my Creator, to work through the immune system He put into my body to heal me from sickness and disease.

I had so many people say to me that I should do what the medical establishment wanted to do for me because God works through doctors. Yes, I believe there are a lot of good Christian doctors and when I need one I am mighty glad they are there! When there are "acute" issues that need to be addressed I am glad to know that there is a hospital down the road with an emergency room.

But for many chronic illnesses/diseases we need to take responsibility for our difficulty's and do what we can to reverse our problem. So many issues are due to diet and lifestyle. The medical field tells us what those problems are: diabetes, heart disease, cholesterol, blood pressure, etc.
(Please know that I know there are always exceptions)

But for some reason we think that cancer cannot be reversed with diet and lifestyle. But I have learned it has been done by many thousands of people over the years. When Jesus walked this earth the 3 1/2 years during His ministry He healed everyone He met who was sick. I choose to cooperate with Jesus for healing.

Well, this is getting way too long so guess I had better sign off. I have several more Posts to do to get you caught up. Thank you for your prayers.
