Prayers For Tomorrow

These past few days have been extraordinary in so many ways. So many opportunities to share the love of Christ. I have noticed that they gradually increase the intensity of the treatments or add more treatments as I progress through the program.

It was recommended by my doctor and the founder of Hope4Cancer that I try this intense heat therapy tomorrow. Yesterday, more and more people began to hear about me trying to do this. From nurses, physical therapists, and other patients, this treatment seems to carry some kind of legendary folk lore with it.

Last night, I was praying and meditating on God's Word. I was talking to God about how he brought me here to be healed. In order to be healed, we often have to go through an element of being uncomfortable. This is true in the physical life and spiritual life. God takes us through trials to force us to trust in him.

At the end of my conversation with God, he brought Job 12:10 back to my attention. He holds my breath in His hands. I was trained in wilderness survival by Air Force SERE instructors. I have taught wilderness survival. I know the importance of a positive mental attitude. However, I know that it does not matter how positive of an attitude that I have, I can only accomplish what God wants me to accomplish. 

God opened this opportunity for me to come here. God gave me the opportunity to go through this treatment (As far as I know, I am the only patient that has been offered this treatment in a while). By God's grace, I will be able to go through this treatment. 

I breath because He still has a purpose for me. To God Be The Glory!

P.S. - Hope4Cancer doesn't really want us to talk too much about specifics with treatment for a couple of reasons. First, there are a lot of people that are against the treatment protocols. Second, everyone is different, so all protocols are built for each individual patient.

God's Grace In Cancer

I have written an article on grace that defines it a little better that what we are going to be doing in this article. Here is a link to that post. In March of 2023, I was diagnosed with Ocular Melanoma in my right eye. Two years later, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Uveal Melanoma in my liver. A couple of weeks ago, I had a full body PET scan, and it showed that my liver tumors had doubled in size. The oncologist is telling me that I have anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. This could vary depending on how my body reacts to some of the medicine that is designed to prolong my life here on earth. However, none of the proposed medicine is going to heal.  I have tried every natural integrative option to help with my cancer including going to Mexico for 3 weeks to Hope4Cancer. This is a very rare form of cancer, and there is not a medicine on the market that has shown any major results in healing this kind of cancer.  GotQuestions.com defines grace as “God’s benevolence on the undes...

Job 12:10

JOB 12:10 In his hand is the life of every living thing  and the breath of all mankind. My latest visit to the doctor was a curve ball. God brings trials when we least expect it. We have the best doctor in the southeast helping us with my health. He informed us that I have stage 4 incurable liver cancer. I have 1 tennis ball sized tumor, 1 golf ball sized tumor, and about 6 other tumors. They are going to treat the tumors with chemo. However, the problem is that this form of cancer will continue to produce more and more tumors. Today, at our Day Camp, I spoke on how God used the bad things in Joseph's life to move him into position to accomplish His will. Isaiah 55:8 " My plans aren’t your plans,  nor are your ways my ways, says the   Lord ." In my finite earthly sin cursed mind, I have no idea why God is doing this. I know that my God is perfect, holy, righteous, and can only do good. Life is a gift from the Lord. Death is not death to the believer. It is merely a c...

Incurable

Incurable - Beyond the skill or power of medicine. I will never forget the words the doctor said to us "This is your only option, and this cancer is incurable." Thinking through the Bible, God is the miraculous God. He parted the Red Sea. He walked on water. He caused the sun to stand still. He tore down the walls of Jericho. He caused fire from Heaven to consume the water and the alter. He raised Lazarus from the dead. He made a lame man walk again. He healed the blind. He raised a girl from the dead. He fed 5,000 people with a boys lunch.  You say "incurable?" I say, "Let me introduce you to the Creator of the universe." He saved me from my incurable disease called sin. He adopted me as His child. I have the best inheritance awaiting me. " And  the peace of God,  which surpasses all understanding..." (Philippians 4:7) Mercy Me came out with the song "Even If." It is so good. I love the chorus. I know You're able and I know You can...
