Imagine a woman who is healed of cancer in her ovary, uterus, brain, bones, lungs and lymph nodes all within a year? This is her testimony!
Our Lord and Savior Jesus came to this world and achieved two most important human needs: salvation and healing. We pray that you will be healed too as you receive faith through reading the following powerful testimony of a healed sister in Christ. The following is my translation of sister Sue’s (phonic name) testimony (with minor excerpting from a very lengthy detailed testimony in another language). She was found to have cancer in many parts of her body in early 2003 and she was healed of all of them by October the same year! She gave the following testimony in 2016 and continues to enjoy the cancer-free life with her family —an abundant life that Jesus has promised every believer, in spirit, soul and body!
SISTER SUE’S TESTIMONY
Mental (spiritual) preparation
At the beginning of 2003, a day after I attended a three-day seminar in the church, a great change occurred in my heart. Suddenly, memories of many long-forgotten past events appeared vividly… all triggered my deep review and reflection. I sincerely confessed and repented to God of the past mistakes as revealed daily, and felt that my soul is being constantly washed and purified by the Lord. My Christian belief changed from being mere attending lively church activities to being honestly and seriously facing my true situation before God.
Accidentally uncovered cancer
Just a month after my mindset and life changes, my lungs were X-rayed due to asthma , and a small blister was found in my liver. The prudent family doctor arranged for me to have a further ultrasound examination.
During the examination, the examiner accidentally found a huge tumor in my ovary that had extended to the liver, but I was unaware of it. I was immediately arranged for operation by specialist doctor. Two weeks later, the 10×16 cm tumor, the size of a cantaloupe, was removed together with my ovary and uterus. The doctor found malignant cancer cells in the excised tumor, but at that time the doctor judged that the cancer cells might not have spread.
Blessing in disguise
After the operation, one day my husband was driving and listening to a Christian radio. Suddenly he heard a song he had never heard before and the lyrics were quoted from Jeremiah 29:11: “The Lord said:
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This song deeply touched his heart, he knew that God was speaking to him. Indeed, this verse has also become a sure strength for his heart when our family goes through perilous situations later. Brothers and sisters in several churches prayed for me urgently. A sister received this for me: “Jehovah blesses you fully.” After I was discharged from the hospital, in the first service at another church the first hymn the pastor announced was, “The end is not yet.” Indeed, the subsequent waves of “blessings” followed one after another….
Metastatic cancer spread to the brain
Less than a month after the abdominal surgery, I was hospitalized again due to persistent vomiting. My husband and daughter found that my conversational response was somewhat abnormal. E.g. when a medical staff asked me questions in English, I answered in Mandarin; when it was time to speak Mandarin, I responded in English. Through the computer tomography scan, the doctor surprisingly discovered a tumor in my brain, which oppressed the Central Nervous System, causing me to vomit and having abnormal speech.
So that night, an emergency operation was performed, and the neurosurgeon removed two tumors of 4 cm and 1 cm in diameter from my brain. The risk of this operation is extremely high, and a slight error may impair future speech and mobility. Thank God for keeping me safe. When my husband came to see me in the recovery room the next morning, I was sitting on the bed eating a sandwich for breakfast, which surprised him. At dusk, I transferred to the general ward. The night of the operation happened to be Good Friday. Two days later on Easter morning, when the warm sunlight shone from the window onto my body, I had a feeling: It is done! I am already healed!
Just after the head surgery. (April 2003)
At the same time, all the worries and burdens that have been accumulated in my life since I was a child seemed to have been cut off along with the malignant tumor on my body. Because I realized that, no matter how much I had worried and planned (for my life), I had never expected that I would suffer from cancer. But the Father God has taken charge of all these, revealing and removing the cancers in ways that I did not expect. This allowed me to return to the innocence of a child, to rest completely in the arms of the Heavenly Father, to enjoy his intimate and sweet love, and to stop worrying about the future. The Bible is like a brand-new book full of surprises, which deeply attracts my eagerness to read. My heart is always filled with praise, love, gratitude, thirst and worship for the Lord.
Receive radiation therapy
After the brain surgery, I received radiotherapy on the head for another two weeks. The doctor frankly told us that the survival rate of patients with brain tumors is generally not high, and there is no big difference between having or not having radiotherapy. But because my brain tumors are more concentrated on one location and I have greater hope of healing, I decided to accept radiotherapy for reinforcement. After the radiotherapy, I started to lose my hair.
During this time, the church has been praying for me. A sister whom I don’t know very well called to comfort my daughter not to worry, because when the church prayed for me, a phrase appeared in her heart: “Woman, you are free from this disease!” I thought to myself: “Lord! Thank you for comforting me through this sister, but can you please tell me again in person?”
Soon, when I was waiting for radiotherapy, I picked up the Bible to read, and suddenly I was prompted in my heart: “Chapter 13!” But there are 66 books in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. Which book’s Chapter 13? Unexpectedly, when I opened my Bible, it happened to be Luke chapter 13. When I came to verse 12, it said, “When Jesus saw her, he called out to her, “Woman, you are free from your sickness!” Thank God, He personally reaffirmed to me His promise of healing.
Metastatic cancer spread to the pelvis
A month later, through CT scan and bone scan, the doctor was surprised to find that there was a tumor with a diameter of 4.8 cm on my pelvis. The attending physician said that ovarian cancer rarely spreads to the bones; a female physician who consulted also said that she had only seen two or three such cases in 25 years of medical practice. This tumor seemed to have existed for a long time. Because it compressed the muscles and nerves around the hip joint, and caused me to have frequent back pain and hip joint pain for many years. So I received a two-week local radiation therapy.
Metastatic cancer spread to the lungs and lymph
Soon, due to my constant coughing, the doctor discovered that the cancer cells had spread to the lungs and lymph nodes, and the swelling of the lymph nodes in the neck and behind the ears was clearly palpable. So I decided to receive a monthly chemotherapy, a total of six times. Each drop injection took about five hours.
God’s grace and supernatural protection from the unwanted effects of the chemotherapy
Anyone facing chemotherapy will immediately think of many painful side effects such as vomiting, oral ulcers, loss of appetite, weakened immune resistance. But when I was halfway through the first chemotherapy, I felt hungry and asked my husband to buy me a rich lunch. When the nurse came in and saw me eating and drinking with relish while taking the drop injection, she was surprised and asked where my husband had bought the meal. She also wanted to buy one set!
After the chemotherapy, I went home and slept. I woke up sweating profusely, my cough disappeared completely, and I felt relax all over after taking a bath. At that instant a church sister who worked in a pharmacy called and asked me cautiously whether I felt alright after the chemotherapy. I said, I feel comfortable all over. When she heard that, she cried loudly on the other end of the phone: “Father! How much I want to thank you. I have never heard a patient say that after chemotherapy, she feels comfortable all over. How you have favored our sister!” She told me that they can recognize any chemotherapy patients in the pharmacy by their haggard look first, and then confirm by their prescription. But I didn’t have any side effects. What a grace of God!
Blood test result AFTER each chemotherapy showed that the number of red blood cells and white blood cells remained the same as BEFORE the chemotherapy.
During the chemotherapy, my appetite and sleep were wonderful; the cough and thigh pain caused by the tumor disappeared, and my walking became more and more vigorous. The body feels refreshed and being reborn.
God really granted the prayer request from brothers and sisters in Christ, “Please let the chemotherapy only kill cancer cells, and not harm any normal cells.”
He also reminded me of His promises: ” 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name…and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”.” (Mark 16:17-18)
The tumor disappeared completely, certified completely healed!
Prior the last chemotherapy at the end of 2003, the doctor performed a computer tomography scan of my whole body and found that all the cancers in my body had disappeared. The shadows on the lungs and trachea are gone, the tumors on the pelvis are gone, and new bones have grown to fill the holes left by the tumors.
My cancer doctor is a very kind old doctor. He was very excited to see the wonderful changes in my body. He said that the treatment effect far exceeded his best expectations. He has practiced medicine for 35 years and diagnosed tens of thousands of cancer patients, but this case shocked him in many ways. He admits that he can no longer rely on the years of experience and professional practices in the past, and must be humble for new learning. I told him that this was because of the intervention of God’s grace—God has answered the prayers of many people.
My attending physician was very happy every time I returned to the clinic for regular check-up. (October 2004)
Until now (January 2016), my health has been very good. Every time I return to the clinic, the attending physician is very happy. He said he has nothing to do except for the routine checkup. After the last check-up in February 2011, the physician told me that there is no need to return to the clinic anymore.
Prophecy fulfilled after 34 years of accepting Jesus
This experience reminded me of the scriptures that moved and convicted me to accept the Lord Jesus 34 years ago:
” But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. 2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. 3 For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;. “(Isaiah 43:1～3a)
The verses are really the best portrayal of what I went through. I am surprised that when I first met Him when I was young, the Lord foretold the miracles that I would experience in 34 years.
Some people think that I must have a strong will to survive, or an extraordinary courage, to overcome the disease, but it’s not at all. I don’t have a trace of courage or strength myself. I just feel that I have never enjoyed such a deep relaxation, comfort and tranquility in my life, as if I was on vacation without feeling sick.
This is like in the third chapter of the book of Daniel in the Bible, the three friends of the prophet Daniel were thrown into the fiery furnace by the king of Babylon. However, because of God’s protection, not only did they not get hurt, they didn’t even smell of fire. The ropes that bound them were all burned up.
This is how God has kept me safe for the nine months of treatment, and at the same time burned all the chains that have bound me for many years. They include doubts about God, unbelief, ungenerous toward others, jealousy, stinginess, criticism, complaints, unforgiveness, and self-conceit, inferiority, self-pity, selfishness… Not only did I regain a healthy body, I regained the opportunity to reconcile and fellowship with relatives and friends. Most importantly: I have regained my relationship with God (knowledge of God) and experienced His wonder, greatness, mercy, loving kindness, acceptance, and holiness… and a completely changed new heart. I have truly experienced “the full Jehovah’s blessings” after all.
Conclusion
I am infinitely grateful for the many blessings I have received along this journey. I have personally experienced that by simply trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ, He can surely open a way out for those who pray for Him regardless how desperate your situation may seem.
The Lord not only healed my body, but also awoke my soul, to see my past ignorance: taking longevity and health for granted, always worrying about all the temporal things, labor and sorrow all day long, not knowing my own Life is so fragile, and that it may leave this world at any time. By then, all the wealth, reputation, status, or honor and disgrace, success or failure, gains and losses, would mean nothing to me. What can protect me and make me face eternity calmly?
He made me understand that my daily life is shaping my future in eternity, and what values in the eternal is being intimately close to the loving heavenly Father, holding his hand tightly, and living each day that he has given me according to his will.
Sister Sue’s invitation to every reader of this testimony:
If you too are willing to accept the salvation and peace of Jesus Christ and become a child of God, please pray to Him now:
“Lord Jesus! Please save me! Help me know you!”
He will answer your prayer because the Bible promises us:
“For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: ” (John 1:12) In the future, He will also bring us into His eternal Kingdom of Light.
(The end of the testimony)
Note: I want to give credit to sister Sue for her healed testimony, which I believe would help transform the situations of many who believe. I also thank those who made her testimony available online in its original language.
Any error or omission in the English translation is entirely mine (the translator).
