I want to share a testimony about a 75-year-old Christian lady named Penny. She was attacked by Satan several months ago with an inability to eliminate waste from her body. She was rushed in for an emergency medical exam which revealed that she had a large cancerous rectal tumor. Since the time of her diagnosis, multiple people prayed in agreement for Penny’s healing, because Jesus said that when two of us pray in agreement, it will be done for us by our Father:
Matthew 18:19 NKJV “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.”
It is super-important that we pray in authority in the manner which Jesus instructed us. First of all, let’s be clear that Satan is the one who steals, kills, and destroys. Satan is the one who has the power of death. Satan is the one who is responsible for all sickness. Therefore, we must realize that Satan is the author of cancer and he was responsible for Penny’s condition. The good news is that Jesus has given us authority over Satan and all of his power. One of Satan’s powers is sickness, yet Jesus gave us authority to defeat it!
John 10:10 NKJV The thief (Satan) does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Hebrews 2:14 NKJV Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil
Acts 10:38 NKJV how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
Luke 10:19 NKJV Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
How does authority work? Authority works by giving commands. We simply command the devil and his works to leave a person’s body in the name Jesus. And then we command their body to be healed in the name of Jesus. Then we repeat if necessary until the finished result comes to pass. Mark 11:22-24 is one of the places where Jesus gives us clear instruction on how to deal with a problem. We are not to beg and plead with God. We are to speak directly to the mountain (problem) and tell it what to do in the name of Jesus. When we pray, if we believe that what we spoke will be done, then we will receive it. Therefore, it is important for us to have expectancy of answered prayers. How? Study about healing, take in volumes of testimonies, and then faith (expectancy) will arise! Amen! (Suggested resources are at the bottom of the post.)
Mark 11:22-24 NKJV So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. (23) For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. (24) Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”
Penny was courageous during her ordeal and opted out of radical surgical procedures which were being pushed upon her. She opted for less intensive treatments of radiation and chemotherapy, however, her faith was in God to heal her. During her recovery period, Penny remained at peace due to her trust in God, and due to the prayers of those speaking life & healing over her. Jesus said that in this life there will be tribulation, but be of good cheer because He has overcome the world. Such was the case for Penny – she had peace through the ordeal – thank You, Jesus!
This past week, Penny had a follow-up PET scan and lab work which both confirmed that THERE ARE NO TUMORS, THERE IS NO CANCER, ALL LAB VALUES ARE NORMAL! Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Father! Thank you, Holy Spirit! Amen! Penny is now healthy, whole, and cancer free! PRAISE GOD because He is Good all the time!!
In closing, here are a few links that will help you arise in faith for healing.
God bless you all! And thank you, Penny, for letting us share your testimony.
