God’s Promises Do Not Return Empty

God’s Promises Do Not Return Empty

 Never in a million years did I think I would find myself on the battlefield of cancer, but here I am with Stage 1 breast cancer that has affected my right side lymph nodes. I have heard it said many times, “God gives His biggest battles to His strongest soldiers”. He must think I am exceptionally strong, but I am not complaining. Anyway, I can bring Him Glory is a privilege, and Glory and Honor He will receive! Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purposes”, I know God is working this all out because He has provided me with the top Doctors in the area, and who could have ordained that but God! He has surrounded me with Prayer Warriors who intercede for my family and me every day, all day. There is no greater provision and gift than that!

Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Would I have chosen this journey for myself? No, of course not, but my plans are not His plans. Do I believe God gave me cancer, ABSOLUTELY NOT, not ever will I believe that! I do believe that He allows things to happen for many reasons, be it to strengthen our own faith for battles that lie ahead, strengthen someone else's faith by how we walk through our “...valley of the shadow of death…” (Psalm 23:4), or to take territory for His Kingdom. I know my plans are not His plans but I trust His plans are so much better. The Lord has proven this to me in so many ways. One example, I can most certainly testify to, is the man God hand-picked to be my husband. I could not have chosen a better man. He loves the Lord, works hard, loves and cares for me, our children and grandchildren and extended family, and he is a pillar of strength in his own right. God’s purpose prevailed, I would say and do so, with a very thankful heart! Isaiah 55:8-9 “(8) For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord. (9) As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.” So, I know God’s purposes do prevail and no matter what the medical records say, God’s purposes in this cancer journey, WILL PREVAIL, AMEN!!! 

God promised me many years ago, in 2007 to be exact, in Isaiah 54:14-15 “(14) In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. (15) If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you.” God has already delivered me from this disease because His word does not return empty but will accomplish what He desires and achieve the purpose for which He sent it (Isaiah 55:11). So it is written that cancer has to surrender, it can no longer invade my body and is removed in the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!!!
