GOD is STILL a HEALER!

What do ye imagine against the LORD? He will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. Nahum 1:9
This is the scripture my mother has stood on, since November 2006 when her Breast Cancer returned after being cancer free for two years. You can only imagine the horrible sinking feeling we felt sitting in that doctor’s office when he began to explain to us that there was nothing that he could do for her. He told us his plan of action was to treat her with chemo, there would be no radiation this time, and she would receive a new medication that has been proven to slow things down however; there is no cure for this type of breast cancer. The cancer had come back in the lungs, the stomach, between the pancreases, and there was a tumor on the liver. My mother’s words at that time were “Yes doctor, I understand what you are saying but, you don’t know my GOD!

During the 2006 Ladies Conference in Oklahoma, Sis McGruder and several ladies prayed over a prayer cloth for my mother. Our pastor, my family, and others who were in the church office one day prayed over a prayer cloth and sent it to her. Everyday she would wear these prayer cloths. When she went for test she would place the prayer cloths over the area they were testing. Half way through the treatments the spots on the stomach, lungs, and pancreases were gone. Although there was still no change in the tumor on the liver, we continued to believe that God was in control and He is a healer. The enemy would stop by often with fear, anxiety, doubt, and torment. Yet there was the sweet reassuring presence of God telling us everything was going to be all right.

In December 2007 once again I go with my mother to the same doctor. He begins to go over her test results. She had completed all the chemo, and had 3 treatments left of this additional medication he had ordered. He looks over everything very carefully and makes the statement “ Everything looks good.” My mother then asked him, “Doctor, what about the tumor on my liver how does it look?” He began to flip through the papers quickly at this point, for several minutes back and forth he looked. Then with an expression of what I can only describe as “amazement” he looked up at her and said, “Mrs. Bumgarner there is no tumor on your liver, there is only a scar.” Let me tell you I was so excited I did not care what anyone thought. I stood up in the doctor’s office and began to shout. I was rejoicing and giving God glory, my mother began to rejoice and give God the glory. The doctor told my mother with a big smile on his face, “Yes Mrs. Bumgarner your God did it!” It was with great joy we left the doctors office that day. Our God is a healer!

I understand at this time that Sis. McGruder is dealing with this situation even now. Although it may not be the same type of cancer our God is still a healer. I ask that each one who reads this would say a prayer for Sis. McGruder. I am believing and trusting God that the same healing virtue that has healed her once before, as well as my mother would once again began to flow through her body. I am speaking healing in Jesus Name, and I am believing that we are going to very soon hear once more of God’s miraculous healing. In Jesus Name!
