Reveal To Heal

Isaiah 53:5

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was

bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace

was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

This writing, “Reveal to Heal” is a testimony of how God healed my husband, Jerry, of cancer.  God used this scripture, and many others, to increase my faith while doing a powerful work in Jerry’s spiritual life.

This particular journey actually began in March, 2022 with the Bonati Spine Institute in Florida.  After years of struggling with back pain and trying various procedures and drugs, Jerry researched and found this Institute, talked to friends that were helped there, then called them directly about his symptoms.  After identifying his problem areas, they knew they could help him, so our trip was planned for Florida.

The doctor told Jerry that he would need three to four procedures to remedy his situation.  During his first procedure, I received the following scriptures from the Lord while reading and praying:

Acts 19:11-12 – Miracles Glorify Christ

¹¹ Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, ¹² so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. 

• First of all, the heading caught my attention, “Miracles Glorify Christ”.   Yes, indeed, I will take that!  I claimed it, “This is the beginning of miracles to come for Jerry that will glorify our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!”
• Acts 19:11 – “Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul.”   Yes, indeed, God DOES use people to accomplish HIS healing.  So, I claimed it, “God is using this doctor, this technician, these nurses, to accomplish HIS healing for Jerry.”
• Acts 19:12 – This verse mentions tangible items that were used to heal and deliver people.  Yes, indeed, that’s why we brought prayers cloths from the prayer team at church.  In faith they believed, in faith we believed, that God was going before us, with us, protecting us, to carry us, to heal Jerry.

John 14:12-14 – The Answered Prayer

¹² “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. ¹³ And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”  (Italics is mine)

Within that week the Lord blessed Jerry with multiple visions that specifically showed him “what is to come” (future events).  Since that time, Jerry has taught on these visions, warning people that Jesus IS coming soon.

Now fast forward to January 2023, Jerry has had seven surgical procedures at Bonati Spine Institute on his back and neck, all with good results.  During the last MRI performed, a mass was detected on the thyroid.  This is where the latest journey began and where we saw God’s hand of mercy in action on our behalf.

Before any doctor appointments could be arranged, Jerry began having many diverse symptoms and was becoming very ill.  His body felt like he was going in and out of consciousness at times.  There were days he felt like he was having a stroke, which prompted two ED visits.

All through this, we had made a pact that we would believe God for a miracle, no matter what.  You see, my husband, Jerry, is a faith-filled, spirit-filled man of God.  He knew in the beginning he was about to travel down a curvy road, so he told me that no matter what we were told, that we will say at the end of the doctor’s statements, “BUT GOD!”

An ultrasound was performed on the thyroid mass that showed T-RAD 5 and then came forth the words: “potentially being” or “likely” cancerous.  Research showed that 86% of these results are cancerous, so in our minds that left God with 14% to say, “No, it is not!”  And although all symptoms’ signified cancer was there, we kept saying, “But God!”

The Meal That Heals

Traditionally, Christians partake of the sacred communion in the church/tabernacle, performed by our pastor/priest.  But, through the years communion has become more intimate to us as God has revealed wisdom and knowledge through some great teachings in how this is the “meal to heal” any and all diseases.  Christ endured the cross, bore the stripes so that we ARE healed (Isaiah 53:5), we are just simply remembering that as we partake of this meal today.  So, when God directed us to take communion for seven days, we obeyed.  It was during this time that I heard the words “Reveal to Heal”.  When I shared this with Jerry, he confirmed it because God had told him we would need documented proof for his healing as a witnessing tool.

Having communion together began to take on a more profound meaning for us and we gained insight and distinct directions for this particular season in our lives.  There were symptoms of a genetic disease within Jerry and family members.  God spoke to us to gather them together for communion and break generational curses.  Praise the Lord, symptoms disappeared, and test results were negative!

Then the biopsy of the thyroid mass was performed, and the results were benign, the Lord took care of the cancer!  A month later, another doctor thought the mass looked very suspicious and advised for its removal and the lymph nodes behind it.  Again, benign!  Can anyone say, “Praise the Lord”?

We sure can!  From the beginning, we had posted “Healing Scriptures” throughout our house; in the office, in the bathroom, in our pillowcases, everywhere we could.  They remain there today, to remind us to be thankful and to keep praying until every single symptom is gone in the Name of Jesus!

JESUS!

Why am I sharing this testimony?

• I hope to encourage, strengthen and build faith in others.
• Mostly, to give God the glory He deserves!

It can be intimidating to testify of the goodness of God when you see the adversities and tragedies that others are facing.  How do you answer the person that says to you, “Why did God heal you and not me?”

Yet, how can we NOT testify of the goodness of God?  I can only encourage others to hang on to that unchanging hand of God, who is no respecter of people.  Keep praying!  Keep your faith!

God Is Able!

Jesus defeated the devil on the cross, but we defeat him through Jesus and with our testimony!

Revelation 12:11 – And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

I want to encourage every reader to Seek God, Listen for His Voice,

Obey His Instructions!  And do not forget to express your gratitude.

If you need a touch from the Master today, reach out to Him now, He’s reaching for you!
